I don't generally keep up with latest drivers at all. If your GPU is ~1 year old or older, it's unlikely to receive any performance boost from new drivers. You just risk instability for no gain.

Intel managed to turn this into a full blown FUBAR.

I think a ship travelling away from you at c would be completely invisible. The wavelength of any signal it emits would extend into infinity because of Doppler shift, so the frequency would be 0. So in effect, it wouldn't emit any signal. We can see that effect in action when we observe distant...

Elon Musk on Twitter: "Falcon Heavy hold-down firing this morning was good. Generated quite a thunderhead of steam. Launching in a week or so.… https://t.co/2e6EEIKZw4"

Doesn't sound any different...

On the bright side, we'd all get to see what happens when Trump is turned into an orange super mutant by the FEV. You think anyone would notice a change in his intellectual capacity? :lol:

Wouldn't an antivirus software be able to detect a file with Spectre attack, once the file becomes known to the company? I mean, the attack doesn't spread through the entire internet instantly. It takes days in fastest cases. But that's long enough for antivirus definitions to become updated...

So antivirus software might not be as entirely useless as previously claimed.

Computerphile on the subject:

I'm getting the impression that this attack is not as significant as first reported: - The attack has to be run on your computer - that's not easy. - The attack has a tricky time of reading the memory - and whatever it reads is just whatever the CPU happens to have loaded. - Once you read the...

Dunkirk was also heavily shelled by the events of the movie, so a lot of the buildings were destroyed. The private boats served a role, but not as large as the movie presented.

Besides JavaScript, what do we have to watch out for? It seems to me that the attack is only possible if some piece of code runs on your computer, but doing that isn't that easy these days. So I have a few questions: - Suppose you don't want to disable JavaScript, is there a way to disable the...

Why is everyone always so worried about the pad? :lol:

Is it close enough to the new year to count as fireworks if it explodes?

Well, it could be worse: http://money.cnn.com/quote/quote.html?symb=INTC&source=story_quote_link

Particle interactions are governed by their respective cross-sections. Think of a target. If its cross-section is larger, you stand a higher chance of hitting it. So it is with particles, that the odds of an interaction increase in certain circumstances. As conditions change, the...

Oh hell. Now we're forced to choose between security and speed. It shouldn't be a choice, but for many people it will be... On a related note, does this open Intel up to a class action lawsuit? I know recently nVidia was sued because of slower RAM...

Philippines is also scattered across 5000 islands, so you end up needing more ferries and other ships, which leads to mode disasters...

Philippines isn't exactly a developed nation. Safety standards are lax. While nobody can prevent a hurricane from hitting a region, the citizens of well developed nations generally fare better. It's also a nation of 90 million, so with higher population, you expect more disasters.

Oh, that's unusual about it! I was looking at the pic and something didn't... sit right... with me, but I couldn't quite tell what was wrong.
