Structure matters

Absolutely agree with all of that but if I were NSO I would be reticent to release anything that could give away the structure of the primary system. There are always clues in a section of software that can provide insights to further investigation of the wider system.

Additionally NSO should ignore any and all foreign court orders until they have been processed by their own court system, because as we all know, a states jurisdiction ends at its internationally recognised borders.

Only if they train it with a proper dictionary, if they use the internet I'll give it 50/50

We need more, we need to see the crazy before it assaults our shores, we may even get a chance to vote the numpties, who think the crap is OK, out of office

Re: Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity

Yes indeed it is russia, thus it is

Never attribute to stupidity that which is adequately explained by malice.

In russia, russia malices you!!

Strange

Also curious that so many people refer to some strange idea that doesn't exist.

If you happen to be pregnant and don't want to be the bible can deal with that, Numbers 5:11-31, called 'bitter waters', that indicates this is not a crime.

If you happen to think that conception equals baby then the bible says you are wrong, Genesis 2:7, Job 33:4, Ezekiel 37:5&6, all these indicate that you are not alive until your God has breathed your first breath into you and infused you with the holy spirit.

Lastly Jesus confirmed that the old testament was divinely inspired, the veritable word of God and cannot be broken, John 10:35.

So if you are genuinely a Christian and support the false prophets of "Pro-Life" then you had better get back to your bibles and read them properly. Your Lord God expected 1/3 of pregnancies to terminate in the first trimester and some more in the second trimester.

For the simple people amongst you I'll say it louder

YOUR GOD SAYS THAT ABORTION IS NOT A CRIME AND JESUS AGREED WITH HIM.

Re: Also ...

Or the baud rate was only 1200/2400, and that would give the systems time to keep up

Depends

Way back in the development of the English language a male was a werman (w pronounced as f or v) and a female was a woman, man was singular person and men, the plural.

So it could easily be argued that the all men are created equal part of that countrys very ragged and nearly destroyed constitution already includes all people. As their highest court is happy to dig back beyond when their country was even a thing it should pose no issues to go back another 5 or 600 years regarding the language.

Re: I take it they rotated the 3d image

No need, in earlier galactic collisions Sage A* was tilted from the vertical with reference to the galactic disc by about 1 radian so we can see more. The brightest blob is light that is coming toward us.

Dr Becky , your friendly neighbourhood astrophysicist has an excellent explanation

Re: Is this a repeat?

Maybe a lingering forgotten bad memory?

Shoot the messenger is very common in the IT world

Re: 640k

No it wasn't.

It was based on PRISM that Dave Cutler and team were working on at DEC as a 32/64 bit replacement for VMS.

When it got rejected by DEC manglement MS just happened to be looking for a new OS team and the NT kernel was born.

Re: It is not Apple or SIS who lied ...

Incorrect on both sides of the pond.

When official statements are made they are made by representatives of the company involved and these very same representatives present the view and position of the company they represent. A statement of shoplifting to the police is most certainly an official statement.

Therefore those employees that in their official capacity ordered police to make false arrests were implementing the will and the wonts of both businesses.

If that is not the will and wont of those businesses then the businesses are still at fault because they provided training that was insufficient to the task required.

Hope he is awarded a serious pot of dosh.

Re: So you might say ...

No they probably don't. There are so many aural brevity codes to choose from that different organisations could not communicate with each other with full clarity when Hurricane Katrina blew in. This prompted FEMA to nerf the 10 codes and replace the critical ones with one or two words, that was in 2005??

Once you get away from the 10 codes there are also so many others to pick from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brevity_code

Re: Clearly states the first batch is manufactured in EU, not UK

The EU is 3 months behind the UK regarding AZ orders.

Sanofi has not yet failed but have run into difficulties that could take a further month or 2 to overcome.

The EU is helping AZ build production inside the EU borders.

It was the EU that made the Irish border a hard one for purely bully tactic reasons and gave the facile excuse they are 'frightened' that there may be vaccine leak from NI to the rest of the UK. Despite the UK being far ahead of the EU in terms of vaccine distribution and the NI NHS being supplied from the UK mainland,

There are good things about Europe but their response to this is certainly not one of them.

Re: Timing

It's all good, everybody knows that the US completely turns any British story around to fit their needs :-)

Features yes but..

There are a vast number of features in Oracle RDMS but how many of them actually get used in a typical application and how many features are used just because it's the latest thing. It's a bit like MS Word, an un$(deity) number of features but how many actually get used?

The car comparison is actually really appropriate, both have a wheel on each corner and an engine but you can buy 14 Fiestas for your 1 Rolls Royce ( New 2020 versions ). The Rolls may be much nicer in all comparisons but 1 Rolls will not be able to do the work of 14 Fiestas and the maintenance cost of 1 Rolls is higher than the cost of 14 Fiestas.

If you really need the Rolls then by all means you should get one, but don't diss the humble Fiesta when it can still do a decent job.

No hipocrasy at all

All governments borrow money from future taxes these days, they are not only morally bankrupt they are essentially financially bankrupt as well.

So you could end up with all their money, but there'll be this huge -ve sign in front.

Re: The next step...

If corporations are people in the USA, and the IRS tax American people on their worldwide earnings then why aren't these American people being prosecuted for tax evasion?

The obvious reason, to me at least, would be the money they pour into US politics to dictate how things are done. So just turning off the Washington cash tap would likely have far more effect than postponing a few things that don't really matter and chucking chump change around.

Just an idle thought.

Re: Am I the only one using Google Meet?

Certainly not, the business I work for has gone GCloud big style and Meet ramped up very rapidly after lockdown started.

Unlikely, the US has become a very 'fragile' trading partner over the last few years. It no longer wants to do business with the rest of the world unless we bow down and kiss your current incompetents feet, sorry meant incumbents there but it still fits.

China is just pointing out that they require certainty and security of supply neither of which the US can ensure. This is noteworthy because it is being done at a national level but there are many firms who are investigating possible escape from US made critical infrastructure.

This is what happens when a lying, cheating, untrustworthy guttersnipe of the lowest scum level possible gets elected to lead the largest economy on the planet.

Re: Makes sense

Between 60% and 70% alcohol content which is 105 to 122.5 proof in the UK 120 to 140 in the US. It has to be at least 60% ABV to destroy the fat coat of the virus and must stay on your hands for around 20 seconds. If it is more than 70% ABV then there is insufficient other content to hold the alcohol and it will evaporate too quickly.

How do I know? Even if I drink that bottle of 14 YO Balvenie matured in Caribbean rum cask in my drinks cabinet in one go I will still have more alcohol on the outside of me :-(

Not quite, in a full lock down food and pharmacy will still be running so some poor buggers will have to put up with a gen pop trying to infect them.

Re: Slightly confused...

Yes, that is what they are saying, it's one of the few differences between an ESTA and a full visa.

Re: We'll burn that bridge when we come to it

Remembering that Intel measure size differently, their 10nm is equivalent to the rest of the industry stating 7nm, 7nm will be 5nm and 5nm will be 3nm. Not confusing at all no siree,

Intel tried to stay with DUV for 10nm, every other major silicon scratcher went for at least 2 layers of EUV. Intel had to restart their 10nm and, lo, just like the rest of the industry it will use EUV in small part. Their 7nm and 5nm processes are on schedule because they have planned EUV in just like everyone else. They are still behind TSMC who are already researching 1nm, will be introducing 6nm next year, 5nm in 2021 and 3nm in 2022ish with 1nm by 2024.

Intel is behind in process and production capability for at least another 6 to 12 months, what happens to the market in this time could be interesting.
