Thinking about it, we are lucky Debian moved to Gandi instead of StartCom when they ditched the SPI CA.

The studies they mention in this is pretty fun, both the self-censorship and the news feed one.

AFAIK it is standard for all 64-bit instructions that use immediates.

Was that the only reason?

My personal favorite is Server 2003 custom support (I am pretty sure custom support was never intended to make as much revenue as it did): https://www.reddit.com/r/microsoft/comments/6b79sw/custom_su...

In this case it would be easier because most JITs and compilers would not have to be modified.

I wonder about Ryzen's new SHA1/SHA256 instructions, not only for Bitcoin but also things like SHA1 collisions.

That is why I tried to keep it to a minimum, with only OSes being needed to be upgraded for the most part. Modern 32-bit and 64-bit user mode programs should still work, but a lot of x86 complexity would be removed. https://news.

IA-64 had plenty of other problems which did not help either. This proposal would make x86 more like a normal "RISC" processor instead without breaking user mode and hopefully not even driver compatibility. Main benefit would be t

I wonder how many use the terminal in the first place for such an ad to be actually profitable anyway.

It would not be the same as IA-64. My idea would be to ditch the segment registers and act if the segment base is always zero except FS and GS for example, with a new way to handle interrupts etc of course. As a side note, I am thinking tha

Also, the NSA is funded by government debt. One of the reasons we got off the gold standard was government spending in the first place.

This was not long before systemd. It looks like he supported it: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2010-May/136...

What is fun is the confusion between DASH and PSP.

Fortunately, normally immediate constants are still 32-bit even if operating on 64-bit registers, so the cost is only the REX byte.

I wonder why the EC would not want a good enough solution where Google Shopping results will not take more than one row and comparison shopping services would appear on at least page two (or maybe even page one)?

The fun thing is that only one instruction used AH, and it can be done perfectly fine with EAX instead.
