She claimed a lot of legally nonsensical things on stand so I'm not sure any of it passed any scrutiny. It certainly didn't with the judge.

By Order dated May 6, 2019 [Doc. 2], the Court granted Chelsea Manning full use and derivative use immunity, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 6002, and ordered Ms. Manning to testify and provide other information in the above-captioned grand jury proceeding ("Grand Jury").
All she had to do was testify truthfully about the matters she was being asked about. Fifth amendment is irrelevant in this context.
Captcha creator on how we can trick humans into doing useful work via "games with a purpose".
Google, and of course virtually every multi-national corporation based in the US, does make use of many US government capabilities. I don't think it makes any sense to say:
>They don't consume any US government services either
However, I do think the corporate income tax issue is a subtle one.
It'd be interesting to compare what Larry and Sergey will pay in taxes versus government outlays for the things that have made Google possible.
While the 8-module chip does share a few things (mainly a vector processing unit, that becomes two when doing the 128-bit SSE operations) they really can run 16 threads on 16 ALUs. But, they'll have sse contention if they schedule more than 8 256-bit vector operations (sadly intel won't bring this instruction set to market for a bit). Bulldozer is pretty cool, but sadly the tech press decides to shit on the underdog in a market that multiple companies have successfully sued the monopolist for anti-competitive behavior. :(
There's quite a verbose spec for all of the major codecs people talk about, but sadly it's 10k(? number I heard tossed around). ffmpeg is a great place to look, but checking out some stuff on fft is a good way to get some background knowledge.
That training is about taking people out of civil society and giving them the ability to engage in behaviors that would give others (quite rightly) pause. This is not a place to look to generate well-rounded citizens that do not see violence as a way to manipulate others.
rPath's build system and rbuilder were made for this purpose.
You can spin iso's and vm images all in a web interface. (rbuilder has a flash interface. It's more powerful from teh command line but susestudio is really fast).
Red Hat/Fedora is suppose to have something (probably more than one) that's new and slick.
