don't you see. we need democracy so when people like giving we can give them SHIT and tell them their generosity hurts our values.

its maybe interesting to read up on what these kind of intelligence services amounted to before the internet and what they generally did. then you can translate these activities to the digital age and see very easily what they do and don&#x

this guy writes 'he's' instead of his and after a few of those i got totally put off this article. the whole second point is just moot. That being said, playing with genes is about as good of an idea as running with scissors

in C NULL is just 0. a nullptr in c++ is just a pointer which points to 0. so it's not an undefined value... it's set to 0 on purpose so you can check it. consider this: char ptr; ptr = (char )0xb8000; before assigning ptr, ptr

new enough in the sense of UEFI and BIOS which is spoken about. UEFI is from 2007, so they had 7 years to learn how to write code for it and for their own hardware. if it was a 2008 board it would be so new you could expect this kind of ran

i don't like this either. especially because often bugs are in places which aren't even necessary to begin with. Like if you find invalid data as a firmware on some device you need to use, just give a message about it, BUT LEAVE I

oh the times of bios and just getting a message no boot disk found to let u know ur partition table was messed up :D ... such simpler times.. :D interesting comment though thanks a lot. makes much more sense now than reading just the articl

an OS is so much more than an application, amen. just a simple google would help: the low-level software that supports a computer's basic functions, such as scheduling tasks and controlling peripherals. this poor author of the post. &g

the BIOS sets up SMM handlers which do run. also there is ACPI which runs partially outside of the os's control....

by vectorEQ 8y ago
lts not talk about acpi :D ... or system management mode which i think you refer to as BIOS, since bios really hands off control. but has set up SMM to do stuff outside of the os.

i always feel these questions are answered to best effort of a person just starting out in the field of os / bare metal programming. there is a whole plethora of information missing in this post crucial to x86/64 early development

haha good luck , whole countries networks / isp networks get managed by them. sure US will cover for those costs of changing with their fiat currency.

very cool find. archeologists also destroy a lot of evidence, and if they find anything that doesn't fit rpevious findings often either ignore it or are highly skeptical, which is why i assume he hd some trouble to convince this was an

dont need the random really. just need an offline method for exchanging the pad :D or just use an unexpected channel like radio or so to send it

the only proven secure crypto is the one-time pad. rest is all junk relying on computation times to stay 'secure'. and this onee time pad you can never send over a wire to anyone because of chicken-egg problem. so this would be so

this is very interesting and nice post. thanks! i love this use of fork. it should be obvious from the description of the function that it can be used as such but really never even came to mind. cool!!

how many hazardous variants do they produce before they find one that has some form of use? (viruses) I think personally people should stop inventing new guns and bombs, and try to prevent instead of fight. but i suppose i don't have a

it totally depends on where you are from if that is in any way relevant. for example, where i am from, i wouln't expect anyone to know it. so doing SOS in morse, would just get some frowns at best. and i couldn't conceive of a sit
