In laptops, the battery management system has the "stop charging" threshold higher than the"start charging" threshold. Probably the same in phones. (You can tune these in ThinkPads, http://linrunner.de/en

Linux did this before, but moved to PIC around 1995 as part of the a.out->ELF transition. ELF actually supports (and always did) non-PIC code on x86 Linux in shared libs, ld.so will do fixups to the code on the fly. See http:/&#x2F

This would require using zillions of VM areas for all your language level objects, and aligning them on page boundaries. It's really not going to work. Have a look at SoftBound and HardBound for some of the current thinking in this are

Are there any left that are owned by semi-reputable big companies? Back when Cisco had Linksys there was some hope that they'd at least look after the vulnerability handling and patching process in a grown up way.

Good coal, diesel and gas plants reach ~50% in power generation (and marine propulsion in diesel case), rocket engines 60+% (thrust).

Americans rarely left the country until very recently. "Valid U.S. Passports in 2012 is 113,431,943 (36%). In 2002 it was 55,169,571 (19%). In 1992 it was 17,950,578 (7%). " ( http://andrewhy.de/percent-of-americans

Note this is only about the specific configurations they tested and not necessarily about hte architectures in general (eg POWER8 is represented by 3 GHz chips here, they go up to 4+ GHz).

TL;DR it pays off to invalidate a range of pages per inter-processor interrupt, rather than one page per interrupt, and dtrace can get the numbers to prove it.

By the time Intel sold > 66 MHz 486's, the Pentium was already out. They remained a low end alternative, but still topped out at 100 MHz. AMD took their 486 clone (called the 5x86) eventually up to 150 MHz.

It says this enabled impersonation of another site through MITM. So maybe the bug is that it looks same/too similar in the UI as a normal verified TLS connection to the victim site.

A minority of drivers/GPUs are blacklisted on desktop, and you have to deal with less than 100% WebGL coverage in any case. But yeah on mobile it's a sharper "reasonably recent devices only" division. You can see (somewh

I'm not sure which point you're responding to. Regarding accounting re. renewables share in energy production, yes, I think their oil exports should be taken into account, and we should say that Saudis aren't model citizens o

No, placing the burden on the individual consumers doesn't work. "Tragedy of the commons" type problems are generally solvable only by organized collective decisionmaking. Irrespective of that, discounting oil production from

If this is said about Europe's largest oil producer (between Nigeria and Kuwait in world stats), there's something wrong with energy production accounting.

Well, it's important to remember the tabloids are always seeking to evoke feelings of outrage. Anecdotes about too-lenient senteces always make it to the headlines, but errors in the other direction don't. Without credible studies

I think the reason all the comments are referencing old OS ideas is that people who understand your question can't answer it. Recognizing a novel OS idea requires familiarity with the state of the art and history of OS research and som

Actually the average western/US CO2 footprint is so big, that it's very doable to fit yourself and a child in after you cut down on luxuries. Of course "use AC less" and "use electric cars" are not the kinds of

I'm not familiar with US unions generally or the ones you bring p, but if they get unreasonable concessions then their situation may be a type of survivor bias. The only unions that are left are the very tough ones? In countries where

Proxying typically loses a lot of information, like client address, client certificate info and so on. If you take care to make carry over everything transparently, it would more accurately be called privilege separation (ala sshd).

Yes, 10% of income would be unfair to low earners. That's why, like the article explained, the system is based on disposable income. Precise formula is described at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Day-fine#Finland F

The percentage of speeding tickets written to people with huge incomes is low, so I doubt it. And taxpayers stand to gain the large fine, so the court time pays for itself.

Looking at the bug bounty record from Chrome and Mozilla it seems that fuzzing-for-bounties vulnerability research has largely moved away from WebGL. Must be at least partly due to WebGL reaching a reasonable level of robustness. Bounties m

It's telling about the whole graphics programming scene that this has been such a well kept secret from the public. Games you see are not in reality running on open APIs, but are based on back alley arrangements between insiders camouf
