Uncle Sam is asking Americans if they could refrain from slapping guns on their drones

Re: Despite NRA propaganda
What I can't understand is how this works in practice.
TBH, it cannot, the government has aircraft, drones, tanks, navy and a pretty well financed intelligence arm to deflect any attack.
That argument is thus bogus.
The ONLY argument for owning guns is the following: F*off, I like guns. - it is not the best argument ...

Re: Tap tap tap - is this thing hollow?
"Nah, we'll just take *their* scientists. Increase the number we have, decrease the number they have. Double bubble!"
For that you need an attractive and sane economy with a halfway sane gouvernment, neither of these hold true for the UK. Funding for new scientific resarch in the UK is gone due to the referendum result, has been reported here multiple times.
Apart from that, have you fed your unicorns this morning ?

But the people voted to leave the EU
No, no, no, no, and ... you guessed it, No.
The people voted for a promise of a better deal than we already had!
"By leaving the EU, we will be able to negotiate a better deal with the EU, and have our own trade deals with others."

More Linux than Windows: El Reg takes Docker Desktop for WSL 2 preview out for a spin
Wednesday 7th August 2019 09:31 GMT 
@elReg
Context: This peek at Docker Desktop 2 is based on the work Microsoft has done to make Windows Subsystem for Linux a full virtual machine (VM) with its own complete Linux kernel, instead of redirecting system calls as is done in the first version of WSL.
This means that the docker daemon can run in WSL rather than in a separate Hyper-V VM.
This means that the docker daemon can run in WSL's Hyper-V VM rather than its own.

LibreOffice handlers defend suite's security after 'unfortunately partial' patch
Friday 2nd August 2019 10:04 GMT
We have a group of specialists that handle security, exactly as this is done for a company like Microsoft.
If you look at a database of vulnerabilities you will see that the number which affect LibreOffice is rather limited.
Only one of these statements can be true, which one is it, then ?
I just checked, the second statement is true.
What's the last piece of software you'd expect to spy on you? Maybe your enterprise security suite? Bad news
The April 2018 Update is so 1803, snort Windows 10 faithful as more settle down in 1903 town
Thursday 1st August 2019 06:48 GMT 
One of my systems received the update last week and I must say, upgrade went smoothly, so almost 5 months late this time around ?
Strange, I thought they were on 6 month release cycles ... does this mean that 1909 will be released the same month as 2003 ? Of course not, it will be release instead of 2003 ... BTW, Windows 2003, hm, return of the undead OS ?

DRAM, is it cold in here? Semiconductor market expected to shrink 12% in 2019
Friday 19th July 2019 13:40 GMT 
Nope
The New Ryzens will sort that out - we are down to 7nm, more cores, higher clock rates, lower TDP (even by Intel's standards, AMD lists max TDP, Intel "average TDP", whatever that means).
AMD tops single core, multicore, and even gaming benchmarks. I REPEAT, THE NEW AMD RYZEN CHIPS TOP THE GAMING BENCHMARKS, USING HALF THE POWER - if you are on Intel, time to consider the new Ryzen chips.
PS: I am not employee at or shareholder of AMD - I personally gain nothing should you purchase AMD hardware.

Re: Single Throat to Choke
On private contracts, maybe, if you are lucky.
Here, we a talking public procurement. We all know the deal will not be $10bn, more like $50bn, once finalized and in production. We already know that if Microsoft or AWS fail to deliver (they will), the Pentagon will pay whatever is asked to fix it - that is how it works.
Repeat after me, taxdollars must be spent, preferably by buying stuff from the mate at extortionate rates.

If malware wants to bury deep inside your Lenovo or Gigabyte servers, they can just ask Vertiv's insecure BMC firmware
Wednesday 17th July 2019 16:50 GMT
Well, I have to actually administer servers that are further away than the next room, so personally I'm all for some kind of 'lights out' management system.
Being able to reach the console of a server before it's booted has saved me from having to drive for an hour and find a monitor/keyboard to plug into a machine in a rack on multiple occasions. HP's iLO even allows you to mount an iso as a virtual CD and install an OS from scratch without having to be anywhere near the server.
Yeah, I totally agree, handy, that ... but it does not have to be a black box that you cannot control, nor configure freely, inspect, and update

He promised 350million/week more for the NHS, promised Trump the NHS was for sale, promised us more jobs, lower taxes for the rich, more state aid for the poorer ... and now fibre in an unlrealistic time frame ... yeah ... rational thinking is not Brobo's forte.
If he owned a bread shop, you'd come in and he'd offer you a fiver if you took a loaf and another if you mated with his wife. Somehow, as a baker that does not work too well, as a politician it works miracles, you end up Prime Liar.
Microsoft adds Internet Explorer mode to Chromium Edge, announces roadmap
Wednesday 17th July 2019 16:14 GMT 
2019 ?
Principal program manager Fred Pullen asked IT administrators at the Microsoft Ignite conference "how many of you no longer need Internet Explorer for anything? I had four hands out of about 200 people," he said in a video.
It is 2019, and some companies rely on programs written for IE 6.
PS: Only retarded idiots incapable of learning anything would have bought software locked to IE7+.
PPS: Sorry for the downvoters, their opinion does not count; arguing this is futile.

If so, then the person saved us ££££ tax payer moneys by accessing the data without asking others to provide said data.
As long as that person did not interfere with the data or the investigation, I do not see a problem.
