Why is the Raspberry PI2 camera-shy ?

Peter’s bug report came via our forums. He’d been proudly photographing his new Raspberry Pi 2, and had discovered something peculiar: every time the flash on his camera went off, his Pi powered down.

zvon: Intel Preparing Something ‘Big’ and ‘Disruptive’ with Skylake Microarchitecture

tl;dr morphcore

having one large core that then divides itself into many small virtual cores is what this technology is all about. And it will support both out of order execution and in order execution as required with amazing results. Morphcore will utilize in-order SMT primarily and will be able to exploit highly parallel code (which was something many small cores were good at if you recall) as well as high single threaded performance.

Popular torrenting software µTorrent has included an automatic cryptocoin-miner in their latest update.

[zme-ul]

^
sincer?! LOL la cine mai foloseste µtorrent - de cand si-au vandut sufletul alora de la BitTorrent, au umplut installeru si clientu cu cacaturi

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We design our software to ensure that partner software downloads don't occur without approval by the user. But given your report, we’ve also double-checked this particular offer, and have determined that it cannot be installed without user approval.

Epic Scale is a cryptocurrency miner that uses a portion of your CPU cycles to contribute to the mining effort. A portion of the proceeds from this effort go to philanthropic initiatives. Please visit http://www.epicscale.com/ for more information. Epic Scale is a great partner for us to continue to generate revenue for the company, while contributing funds to good causes. In the future, Epic Scale plans to contribute CPU cycles to other initiatives, such as Genome mapping and other academic studies that require a great deal of processing power.

As Groundrunner stated, it's easy to uninstall the software via Add/Remove Programs. Per the Epic Scale CEO's response in comments on the link you shared, the only data left in ProgramData\Epicscale is a simple UUID (Unique User ID). This remains so that in case the software is reinstalled, BitTorrent would still be associated with the user. Feel free to delete this folder. You certainly won't see any persistent auto-reinstalls of the software, it will be gone from your machine for good.

eu folosesc utorrent. ca-i light, inainte de asta foloseam bitcomet da mi se parea cam incarcat si greoi. cacaturile alea le debifez la instalare, presupunand ca la alea te referi. daca or fi si altele ascunse inafara de ce a zis brutalistu habar n-am. oricum eu il tin deschis doar cat sa downloadez un torrent apoi il inchid.

Poți să nu faci update, eu am acceași versiune de ani buni, better than anything else, really. Adică, na, alea noi oricum sunt banate pe tracker-ele care mă interesează, lol.

[brutalistu]

heh, până şi www.ninite.com au înlocuit utorrent cu qbittorrrent

[Semyaza]

Also, ca sa vedeti cat de retardati sunt, cat de... bine formulat si clar vi se pare anuntul asta?

( keep in mind ca am versiunea 3.4.1 instalata, nu 3.4.2 )

[zme-ul]
