In this case the scheduler isn't as much of a problem as the interrupt service routine, which by its very nature interrupts the normal thread-level scheduler to do some work with the hardware. Both the Network Interface Card (or wirele

Speak for yourself. My current career in systems administration, a pleasant improvement over my retail start during college, was gained through my network of college friends. I don't keep in touch with them often, but we went to the sa

I don't believe that responsible web scraping is malicious, but my belief relies on the assumption that the web is meant to be open. That is, information put on the internet that is publicly available is considered free to access, stor

When I worked as a bank teller briefly, we had this planned out. There was a stack of bills (usually 10s, but it was kind of random) that we were only to give out if we were actively being robbed. They were indistinguishable from regular cu

In a traditional game this is exactly how it's done. Dolphin is a bit different though, because it's an emulator. It is aware that a game is using the GPU, but isn't aware of the inner workings of each game's logic. Dolp

I think I understand the point you're trying to make (modern apps draw to larger screens, and therefore must use more memory) but this is a poor comparison for a number of reasons. The most obvious of these reasons is that graphics car

This is a reasonable guess at how encryption works, but it's also flawed. The key you need to crack on a Wireless Router isn't the key that's used for actual encryption of data, but rather the key used to set up that encrypti

I worked at a Geek Squad for two years, so definitely take my experience with a grain of salt, but at least in the world of big box retail chains, this was quoted so often by my customers and clients I lost count. Most of my clients that ca

"2. Install a camera anywhere I work and focus it on my hands" I feel like we need to be talking about this more. For all the hullabaloo concerning password strength and encryption key length, MANY of our secret key entry met

For local websites, there are a couple of workarounds with Chrome in particular. I think creating a self-signed certificate and then adding it to Chrome should work to enable web-workers, but I haven't tested this. There's a chrom

I think the biggest trouble, and the thing DRM-protected content producers have latched on to, is that the vast majority of our population will follow the path of least resistance. If it's easier for the average consumer to purchase an

Okay, so I know Windows probably doesn't actually work this way, but from a user interface perspective... what's the rationale on giving an App permanent access to the user's home folder directories? Don't most well beha

You've just hit the nail on the head yourself: bandwidth. Sampling the entire CMOS sensor at once is not really possible when you stop to consider the sheer magnitude of bits required to represent a single still image. The CMOS sensor

My own thought process on this is the following: Some parts of antivirus software do good work. Understanding that antivirus software is no substitute for real security, but more like a helpful layer to try to catch things that otherwise mi

Aye, in South Texas at least, I've noticed that newer terminal systems seem to process things just as fast as card swipes, if not more so. But older systems that have obviously been retrofitted with the technology are hit and miss. I o

I think a large contributor to this trend is a side effect of JavaScript, which is to perform library inclusion at runtime inside the browser. Think about it. If you include a gigantic library in a compiled language, but only use 3 of its f

With Surface RT I would have agreed wholeheartedly with this. But Microsoft is doing it right this time around by introducing x86 emulation, which gives you a fast, efficient ARM platform that has amazing battery life most of the time, and
