The new USB 3.0 cables are supposed to have a different logo embossed on them containing an "SS" connected to the old USB "tree" logo. - See section 5.5.6 of the USB 3.0 spec.

USB 3.0 ports and the plastic bit inside the cable connectors are supposed to be color coded blue (Pantone 300C is recommended) - See section 5.3.1.3 of the USB 3.0 spec.

Patch or hack the compiler to detect his coding style and generate plausible sounding error messages.

Most of the traders try to get as close to the old Western Union Building at 60 Hudson St. as possible. If not inside it, in a building adjacent to it. That's the central network hub for the financial district.

Since anyone can buy a receiver to read their own meters, I'm going to say "probably not."

Waited too late? My Sharp Zaurus SL-5600 shipped from the factory running Qt a decade ago. That's five years before the iPhone was released. Qt is not a newcomer. It is one of the most ancient toolkits in this market.

Don't forget all of the other software out there that uses the same Webkit rendering engine as Safari. There could be many more vulnerable programs. And many more users at risk.

Since win32k.sys is the kernel mode driver portion of the win32 subsystem, any exploit that runs in it runs in kernel mode. Very nasty.

Tilera's 100-core processor is built like this. It's a 10x10 grid of cores.

It's 8 cores per chip *and 2 chips per package* for a total of 16 cores.

Well, Telautograph (the company that made these) was bought out by OMNIFax (which later became part of Danka). I used to fix these machines. And they were in use at least to the mid 1990's. Hospitals used them to send prescriptions from the ER to the pharmacy. This allowed a doctor to write out a prescription and have it simultaneously written out in the pharmacy in their own handwriting. The machines were pure analog and were a pain to adjust and maintain. A pair of rheostats encoded the pen position and a switch sensed when it was pressed to the paper. The signal was encoded and sent to the receiver where a pair of servo solenoids replicated the movement of the pen.
