Posted by funkyassAre they as devastating to older processors as they are to newer ones? I mean, a Pentium 2 has fewer out-of-order optimizations than a Skylake Core, or whatever cute JRPG nickname Intel's given to their current processors. It stands to reason that it would lose less, assuming the vulnerabilities are implementable in the first place(it's become obvious that the recent Core processors have made some questionable decisions on their out-of-order and branch-prediction segments to gain speed, and it is the only reason the Intel-only exploits work). --- In UTF-16, where available. --- |

Posted by DonJon Perhaps, but this article isn't even remotely about anything shady Google is doing. It is literally just "Oh god, Chrome has cookies!" Now, granted, Chrome has extremely limited cookie controls(extremely limited anything controls), but that isn't the same thing as being spyware. And the author foists the blame upon Google instead of the bajillions of sites using cookies to spy on people. (Ironically, I remember back when Firefox stripped out cookie controls because only nerds cared about cookies. That decision probably did more than anything else to make browser extensions a mainstream feature, since only nerds used anything but Internet Explorer and there was an extension to restore the cookie controls.) --- In UTF-16, where available. --- |

It has been brought to my attention that seminal japanese adventure game Yu-No: Blahblah Long Name has an anime. ... I mean a modern one that tries to adapt the entire game instead of throwing almost every story scene into the trash can in an attempt to do as much disservice to the relatively complex story as possible. (I watched that one, and it made me very upset. And not just because it was trying to be straight-up porn and wasn't sexy in the least.) Watchin' episode one now. OH GOD, YOU CAN SEE MAIN CHARACTER'S EYES! WHAT HAS GONE WRONG HERE?!?!?! ... Seriously, the character designs are kinda soft for my tastes. And character animation is pretty dodgy. I see hints of better(I think someone on staff is a Mio fan, her first appearance seems markedly higher-quality than everyone around her), and hope it pulls up. It would be totally on-brand for them to be intentionally flaky in episode one and then shift things later(the original game did a bait&switch in presentation, initially presenting as a visual novel-type game before exploding out into a point&click adventure at the end of the prologue). It doesn't seem like it will, though. They've resisted the urge to shift the setting out of 1995. Takuya's home still has a big television with a deep video tube, and his home phone is early-90s as hell. ... And then they drop the ball in the video arcade. Their close-up of Totally-Not-Raiden has an LCD screendoor effect. I'm in. I reserve the right to complain later, but I am in. Edit: And after episode 2, I LOVE how they're writing Toyotomi. The man shifts personas rapidly from in-charge badass to powerless underling as circumstance dictates. The show has picked up on this trait and his general unreliable buffoon aura and is playing him for laughs. This is FANTASTIC. --- In UTF-16, where available. --- |

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLsdlNrLPxQ Guy gets an old Macintosh 512 that doesn't work. Goes to open it for repair, notices it is strangely heavy. Opens it up and a bigass full-height 5.25" hard drive is staring him in the face from behind the case of this "unexpandable" "floppy-only" system. Turns out the company that made this hard disk controller(called a Hyperdrive board, and I love the name) decided to give Steve Jobs the finger in the most blatant way possible(other than actually etching an illustration of the bird onto the board). "You say your computer is unexpandable and unmodifiable? There's no expansion bus and it shall be thrown away when it ceases to meet our needs? Well, all the address and data lines end at the CPU, so we're just gonna clip a ribbon cable on top of it and MAKE an expansion bus for our hard disk controller. We think Wozniak would approve. Also, we're taping a fan into this air vent. It isn't even fanless anymore. " --- In UTF-16, where available. --- |

Posted by tommanThe more important thing here is that in trying to figure out what this is about, I found out one of the great mysteries of the Lunix file system: WHY DON'T USER FILES GO IN THE DIRECTORY NAMED USR? The answer, sadly, is "forty years of backwards-compatibility with an ugly hack" that no one dares change(ironic, really). But at least I understand now. --- In UTF-16, where available. --- |

" Well, sure, there are some kludges, but in essence that's how it works, isn't it? Each program has some .dll files shipped with it and it has a folder in the Program Files/ hierarchy." That's the kludge to avoid an express trip to DLL Hell. Shared libraries used to be the standard. They also broke the hell out of everything because different versions of the same libraries were incompatible due to the DLL format. Windows 98 finally put this issue (mostly) to rest with SxS, which allows the OS to host multiple versions of the same DLL and serve different ones to different programs running at the same time(and now you know what WinSxS is when you stumble across it in your system) That said, you don't SEE the dynamically-linked libraries the program DOESN'T carry in its install directory, which is decidedly non-zero. "I can't ever remember Firefox or whatever hassling me about dependencies on Windows, except for .NET and friends, but those are practically part of the system anyway. " So... common libraries don't count as libraries? And the installer will get most of the libraries it needs to install installed silently. It is only the collections with separate installers(DirectX, Dot Net) that you ever see. And, well, that's most of the responsibility of an installer. They aren't just a self-extracting ZIP file. (Similarly, that's why you've long been encouraged to use the uninstaller instead of just deleting the directory, it lets the system know the program is no longer using those DLLs and gives it the option of deleting them if no one uses them) " I can't remember once having had to reason about the dependencies of an application, or have an application require 200 MB of mystery meat libraries with scary-sounding names to run. " When is the last time an installer actually told you what it was doing in any detail? Certainly, the more robust Lunix package management system leads itself to elaborately tangled webs of dependencies, whereby installing a Super Nintendo emulator will bring in printer support as a dependency(because of some of the fonts used, if I recall), or byuu's old goto example of a graphical front-end for command-line CD burner software changing his init system. But that doesn't mean the Windows situation is actually any better, or that Windows has no dependency situations. They just trade depth for width in Redmond's hole. --- In UTF-16, where available. --- |

Posted by BrosephHAX! I just clicked page 1 accidentally, and noticed this isn't authentic Startropics. You don't get the radio frequency in a cutscene in the original game. You take an actual letter printed on an actual piece of paper out of your game box and run actual water over it.
