There was a 1983 adaptation of Something Wicked that Bradbury was involved with and liked. Honestly it didn't do much for me though.

It was something around 40 TB X2 . We were doing a terrain analysis of the entire Earth. Every morning for 25 days I would install two fresh drives in the cluster doing the data crunching and migrate the filled drives to our file server rack.

The drives were about 80% full and our primary server was mirrored to two other 50 drive servers. At the end of the month the two servers were then shipped to customer locations.

It was clearly an attack. By who is unknown.

Notably this was in 2003 before git (2005) so linux source was in a central bitkeeper repo. So a commit with no associated data about who did it should not have been possible.

Here is a more detailed article. https://lwn.net/Articles/57135/

It was caught and never made it in the kernel.

Years ago there was a commit to the Linux kernal that strangly had no author. This got some attention of several of the developers.

Looking into the code that had to deal with network transmission. there was a section that if you tried to get network access in a unusual way had a check that was written something like this.

If (usr_permission = ROOT) ... Instead of If (usr_permission == ROOT) ...

The first giving the user root if invoked and the second checking to see if the user was root.

It's widely thought this was the NSA or some other intelligence agency trying to backdoor lin Linux.

Yeah on table top space marines are the reference for other things. Other armies usually have a unit that is considered a SEQ (space marine equivalent)

If I put a number on them it would be 1 where as IG flashlight trooper would be 0.1 and a tank would be around 7-10

To be fair that's a very different situation. Predicting how one person is going to decide is very difficult. Predicting how a large group is going to decide when you ask a subset of them first is much more predictable.

I'm not a big fan of these patents having been awarded and patent law needs serious overhaul. That said I think there is a good chance the lawsuit is successful. Three are a lot of patents in 3D printing that the open source community is just waiting for them to expire.

You can lose trademarks if you knowingly don't defend them but it's pretty hard to lose a patent. Even it gets added to a standard you participate it just goes into FRAND.

He is probably not from a legal standpoint. He is talking to her and she just funds the pac and selects the people who run it. It's super easy to get around that law.

True.

CICO it's what is called a bounding condition. It's true but the CO half is almost impossible to know or predict long term outside of being in a 24 - 7 lab.

Hormones, types of calories, activity, and biology all have a huge effect. And long term even small errors in these numbers can have big impacts on weight.

So you see it all started with space frogs hundreds of millions of years ago...

The company had always been run by engineers that came up from chip fab. Then they fired both the CEO and the head of fab for sexual harassment.

Then they make the CFO with a MBA the new CEO. A year or two latter and chip design is having problems and fab is falling behind.

I'm with you. Hyperion was a struggle. I like Fall of Hyperion a lot. Couldn't finnish Endymion.

Yes but you only spend the money where you are behind by a small enough amount that you might change the result. So if a state is polling 51% / 49% it's a great state to spend in because it might change the electoral college votes.

God emperor of December.

We tried that in the US. It went very poorly.

People who have been appointed have much lower odds for reelection than a incumbent that won the office.

I just went and watched his pork taco video. The only spice he uses is paprika. The pork looked so dry. Bell pepper as the bass of the salsa.
