There are different aspects of "security through obscurity". In this case I don't think obfuscation equals obscurity, as the software is still available in its whole form. But I agree with you that this is a pretty weak effort.
To me, "free society" means being able to have and express that opinion and perspective without people like you blaming them for being idiots just because they don't side with your view of the world. Think about what you said and its implications for a second.
...s-video/composite/audio input - almost all of them, even the "cheap-o" $20 models, have these inputs. Simply record to MPEG-2 and from there convert to f.e. h.264 in.mp4 using Handbrake (http://handbrake.fr) or similar.
What she complained about was that it kept reminding her about backing her iPhone up; she wanted it to do so automatically, which she didn't know can be done by flipping a single setting in iOS' iCloud control panel.
No. Stop talking out of your butt now. By default they do not end up on your iCloud account. For this to happen in OS X you need to explicitly 1) set up an iCloud account, and 2) enable automatic iCloud backups of "default" folders.
C'mon, Travis... that's just making weak assumptions based on us having different opinions, unlike my statement based on the original poster's attitude, or me commenting on something else based on reality, like f.e. saying I like your receding hairline and your non-refracting hipster glasses.
That's a very worrying attitude considering what kind of light you're trying to pose yourself in with your leading post. Why exactly do you feel that people owe you a name in order to have the right to criticize you, and what makes you feel you have the right to accuse them of being "date rapists" and call them pieces of shit when they don't pay this imagined debt to you?
I started programming as a kid at the age of 10. This question just doesn't apply to me at all. No such thing as "career" etc. were relevant to me at that point.
"For a fraction of the cost". There is no money to be made by selling the world something it needs for just pennies. Ammonia is available everywhere for pennies, and I suspect sodium amide is available for pennies as well. This doesn't equal good business when you can still sell gasoline for some orders of magnitude more, and as such you can be damned sure no one will ever allow this to be a legit fuel for cars.
There's nothing hard about it at all. I just don't like being at the mercy of a power socket every single day. A device that requires recharging once or more per day isn't a mobile device, it's IMMOBILE. You can't leave civilization (read: trekking, outdoors etc.) with a device like that and you can't rely on it in situations where you leave home for a day without having to carry a charger with you as well.
The Android-based things we've seen so far need to be recharged at the very least once a day. I can't even stand the thought of owning a smartphone model that requires recharging every day.
You state that you have a long career in IT, and at the same time you ask how to electronically hand over information generated within IT. Among those things, you even claim that you have passwords, meaning that they have been stored insecurly. This has "IT Janitor" written all over it, or possibly a concocted story.
An old partition of some 20000 files, most of them 10 years or older, in where I found 7 or 8 files - coincidentally jpg images as well - that were corrupted. It struck me as nothing other than filesystem corruption as the drive was and still is working just fine.
The coins aren't contained in the wallet as such, but rather they reside in the blockchain. The wallet holds the private keys that allow you to move coins away from their public address counterpart. Once that is done, it doesn't matter how many backups of that wallet there is, because the coins are already somewhere else - already locked to another private key in the blockchain. Also, his coins have already been "secured" (moved to another address), so there is nothing anyone can do.
Also also, DRP is in custody, without access to the internet, and thusly was never able to do anything.
...label pretty much any hacking as "life-threatening or endangering the nation's security". I mean, we've seen this before, in how people who pirate TV shows and software are by American organizations pretty much labelled "terrorists".

...interpret the obfuscated source code, then why wouldn't a human be able to?
Jailbroken iOS, is the vector and requirement.

You uneducated buffoon, Timothy!
Yeah we're all standing line, right after you and the rest of the morons who open their mouths before investigating how factual a story is.

They are looking into the best course of action to have cryptocurrencies banned as it threatens their paychecks and their control over people's money.

The sympathy-seeking white knight emerges.

Which is a bit funny considering that my browser plays HTML5 video content from exactly everywhere else on the internet.

I'm happy for you. My iOS phone lasts 5-6 days as well.

A contributing factor is probably their outrageous belief that copulating with virgin girls "dispels" the HIV.
