Intel have their gate delay graphed with 22nm vs. 32nm (and also the switch to 3D gates)... but I'm not sure what the units used here are. It's on page 21 of this PDF: http://www.intel.co.uk/content/dam/w

I really like when I goto download some new app and see that there is a simple executable .jar I can get. They are still bloated and slow though.. just so happens that we have workstations with i7s and 32GB of RAM. We finally caught up to w

Are you doing anything clever to add and remove upstream hosts from the HAProxy instance? When I looked into it (very briefly) there was no kind of programmatic access to do that, among other things.

> The assumption here is that Amazon also have paranoid level security and their employees are 100% honest.. Add 100% competent to that too. I expect a bug is much more likely that a dishonest sysadmin or dev.

There was the DeCSS case, other than Sony's autorun CDs I think that would be the most trivial "DRM" but was still ruled a violation to circumvent. Auto manufacturers, along with printer manufacturers, are already using IP in the on board d

Some of the code on the device is no doubt a copyrighted work, eg the main Glass APK and such. You can't dump some parts of Android without being root, and getting root would count as circumvention. I'm sure they wouldn't pursue it... but i

So we should all stand still in time because current tech is understood by this generation? You have to draw a line somewhere. The download has in fact been there for years now, at least since late '09. I only remember because we had to dow

Is it even legal for two people to voluntarily transact using currency? Man, that's some pretty scary thinking...

There's no reason a site couldn't serve content along with the 451 code, just as HTTP200 is served with content. In fact, that's a SHOULD in the RFC: Responses using this status code SHOULD include an explanation, in the response

This has always worried me about news/media. When ever they cover anything I have the slightest background in, they get something, or everything, about it glaringly and completely wrong. So what else are the getting wrong the rest of the ti

That would be totally reasonable, and it's something I see all the time. It's usually titled "We recently change how blahed blah works..."

I think they'd still have to offer a pro rata refund for the annual fee. You can't just send out an email telling people the product they paid for x months ago just changed and they'l l have to just deal with it.

What were the "notifications" of though? If it's just like the AirPush bullshit people were peddling on Android a while back, how is it any different that the adware like BonziBuddy that found its way onto unsuspecting desktop system trays?

> The way you priced things is cute, but shows that these are numbers that you made up. It really does. The events and calls are nice round numbers, so it's not like the worked though to match the silly price points. A bigger problem I

I'm not sure, and I'm not sure how we could know for sure, but I think it's already prompted the creation of the largest ever DHT. Which peer-to-peer file sharing aside I think is really pretty cool. Along the same lines of cool as BitCoi

Makes total sense; Spotify launches in 2006 and has had increasing revenue and user base year over year since, UK Courts block TPB in 2012. Clear cause and effect, plus time travel.
