I'm not sure... for me the unfiltered version was annoying but bearable for a bit... but I could see getting driven mad by it after a while. The filtered version was so bad that it almost made me wonder if I'm going to damage my e

I'm listening to this right now [1] and (for those of you who don't have a chance to hear it right now) it definitely isn't what I would call a "hum"... that's way too gentle and not bass enough to describe thi

Something I've wondered: how is this reconciled with the notion of "ignorance of the law isn't a defense"? If you do something that's a crime but have no idea that it's a crime (and had no intention to commit o

I think it's obvious that everyone here is speculating, there's no benefit to trying to call one of them out.

Ahh, yes, that would explain it. I guess the next step here would be to put a note that says this is a human and see how people respond!

Honest question: What's the logic behind being so utterly rude from the first moment to someone you find attractive? Is it supposed to attract them back somehow?

Confused, which company would Bob be working for here? How would he make a bug?

Thanks! I see. So it seems like the program basically has to capture sensitive data while it is in I/O transfer (and hence in kernel memory) just at the right time, right? Which is annoying and might need a bit of luck, but still possi

I meant disable at run time, not disabling via recompiling your own kernel.

How do they replace defective products? Or more specifically how do you get your laptop CPU replaced if Intel offers a replacement for free?

Thank you! Do you know if this will be true for Windows as well, or just Linux?

Will there be any way to disable or block the upcoming patches and keep the performance for those of us who really just don't have any reason to care about inter-process information leakage on our personal computers? Edit: I'm (al
