That the process/thread enters kernel mode and then is suspended waiting for IO or for some other event. As long as the thread is running your code (or, is scheduleable) it's not b…

No, if the memory-mapped page you're accessing is in RAM, then you're just reading the RAM; there is no page fault and no syscall and nothing blocks. You could say that any non-reg…

It will at the very least notice that the read data does not match the stored checksum and not return the garbage data to the application. In redundant (raidz) setups it will then …

I assume you mean extensions, not plugins. No, Chrome doesn't support extensions on android, but some Chromium reskins do. That said, the most important extension usecase is adbloc…

If a kernel with the restriction removed is compiled locally and is never redistributed, why would it be illegal?

> Clearly the sync between devices works, so they have solved this problem. Presumably they don't use CSV to sync, they're using a saner json/etc. data structure that they're not l…

Should say, [2007]

How can the employer prove a negative? At most I imagine the plaintiff is allowed to do discovery, and then has to prove positive discrimination based on that.

I got a papercut and I'm made out of meat!

The second link doesn't mention "as-is", the first one does. I'll assume that's what you meant. It says, > Though manufacturers cannot so easily escape liability, sellers can escap…

If I build an unsafe boiler, and gift it to you, and then it explodes and kills you - am I not liable because it was a gift and not a sale? Can I disclaim away any liability and "f…

He also says, > But even better, it has a security descriptor allowing Everyone + Low IL R/W Access, and an IOCTL interface with absolutely no Probes/SEH, which yes, dereferences w…

Governments that issue patents on math/algorithms/software already claim the power to forbid you to use them. They just need to patent all public encryption algorithms, in perpetui…

It's been proposed before! https://www.jpost.com/opinion/an-israeli-suez-canal-393225 It would be less than 3x the length, not 10x. The mountains are a problem; it could go around …

If you've heard of KOffice, this is a fork from 2010 which didn't inherit the project name but eventually became the official / only KDE office suite project.

Even assuming purely good intentions, the government would want to use the key very often (hundreds or thousands of concurrent investigations) and in many large unrelated organizat…

Yes, by giving the government access to one or both of the end devices. (Which is probably already a thing somewhere legally, and very likely is the factory state for some Android …

The immune system presumably has a limited capacity of circulating antibodies. By introducing new antibodies, do we reduce the amount of previous antibodies, and does this reduce t…

You're right, my comment was partly wrong (and it's too late to edit it). They don't say that Ethics outweighs Science as a subject matter. They say that Science predicts all three…

"We'll do whatever we like, and you're not allowed to do anything, except as required by applicable law".

Then you'll have to withstand at least one party: twitter mobs, editorials, maybe employee protests or resignations. Both you personally, and your company. It's not surprising that…
