Happy 4th July: here’s a slideshow of US presidents stuffing their faces

Barack Obama loves ice cream, and George Bush is a divil for ribs…

IT’S INDEPENDENCE DAY in America, and the country will gather around BBQs and cookouts to celebrate the anniversary of the Declaration of Independence and the winning of political freedom from Great Britain in 1776.

President Barack Obama will be hosting a picnic with military families and his administration staff and their families where there’s sure to be burgers and hot dogs a plenty. Could there be a more perfect time to take a look back at some of America’s presidents enjoying their grub through the years?…

If you’re celebrating the Fourth of July today, whether at home or abroad, send us your pictures of the festivities to tips@thejournal.ie or you can tweet us @TheJournal_ie.

There is also talk of the Intel’s CEO offloading shares before this went public and a replacement chip scheme, as per the Pentium Division error.

AMD are not affected. Quick version. Kernel and user space interactions can potentially be fooled using speculative execution methods to potentially read memory address spaces. Fix is to move kernel into a completely invisible (to the user space) area. This has to be done in OS, hence the slow down.
