It still strikes me as plausible. Sub-harmonics are a thing; it is entirely possible to leak data about what the CPU is or isn't doing down into the ultrasonic or audible bands. As an example, one of my computers leaks a ton of noise

This might lessen the need, but I don't think it will entirely eliminate the need for washing clothes. Not all substances that that soil clothes are organic. There's the mineral components of dirt, oils, other chemicals, etc.

If you make note of the differences in physiology between the male and female body, you might discover that there is a non-arbitrary reason why industries requiring hard physical labor have traditionally been the domain of men.

I can understand their argument. As the resident 'technology expert' in my various social and familial circles, I've had to deal with and explain the answers to questions such as "Why did my computer just become illegal?

So, honest question, what kind of workloads and tasks would a box built from this motherboard be good for? Video or audio editing? CAD? 3d Rendering? Programming? Assuming the hardware is up to the task, cool, now what about the software? I

If the purpose and correct use of trademarks is not to be a legally-protected unique identifier to prevent confusion amongst products of the same type/class or in the same market, then what, pray tell, is it's correct use?

I don't think people so much prefer mathematically perfect sound quality; people want convenient music. MP3s are less than the "mathematically perfect" quality of CDs, but far more convenient. A few hundred bucks spent on qua

Neat! I had hoped such might be the case, but wasn't sure -- it's been a while since I played with LT spice. I'll have to take some recordings of my guitars to use in simulations the next time the pedal hacking bug bites.

The same way they track them now -- with all the other investigation and intelligence methods they have now. It's not like cyrpto makes investigation impossible or magically makes terrorists immune to OpSec errors that enable the auth

I disagree that the 4GB RAM cap is entirely arbitrary. Guess how many GiB of memory you can address with 32 bits? 4. Now, x86 CPUs have been capable of addressing more memory since the Pentium Pro [1]. But even then, not all motherboard chi

If a 15 year old internal combustion engine design can do an 800 mile range, I don't think its unreasonable for electric cars to get there, especially with as fast as Tesla is coming up with improvements to electric cars. But let us co

I disagree. It's easy today to think of the consoles of yesteryear as simple self contained systems (A 6502-based CPU? How quaint!). However, Consider the unholy trinity that was the Sega Genesis/Master System/CD/32X. Th

If a specific person were named, I could see that possibly happening if said person were to ever set foot in the US (or maybe just Illinois). But a company? That brings in additional questions. Would not Cook County have to prove that the p

Okay, reading the subpoena linked in the original article, it appears that Cook County, Illinois is trying to subpoena a company in Romania. IANAL, but I didn't think an entity in one country could compel anything of another entity in

By my understanding, fallout is less a function of the explosion being nuclear and more of how the bomb is detonated. The Tsar Bomba was an air-burst. By keeping the fireball in the air, less vaporized material from the ground is kicked up

To me, this neatly explains why in just about every performance comparison of video drivers in Linux shows the proprietary drivers having an edge, even if only a slight one. I've never actually dived into the source code for the open s

I used to think that DNSSEC was a good thing. Authenticated DNS lookup, what's not to like? Incidents like this make me question that. But dropping DNSSEC leaves the problem of securing DNS unhandled. What would you propose in its plac

IMO, that would depend on the form the waste carbon is produced in, which would influence how it is disposed of. Taking a common hydrocarbon such as propane, and stripping all the hydrogens out of it will produce pure carbon. Last I checked

It would not surprise me if there are other bits of unique info on the template VM that need to be cleared before freezing the image, e.g. hostnames. This is a solved problem in Windows. The sysprep tool wipes out the hostname, security key

I'd argue the recovery is about complete. Go into any neighborhood liquor store, and in addtion to the Big Three and the other inexpensive pale lagers and pilsners, you'll also see something from one of the major craft breweries (
