You're talking about welding a userspace onto a kernel. It can be done, but the Linux kernel doesn't do that. Nor does the GNU userspace have a kernel welded on it. Collectively, they provide a useful system. So, GNU/Linux.
Most of the crying and bankruptcies we saw before were actually just a scam to shaft long time employees on their pensions. They're fine now and they were fine then, it's just that now there's more money for executive bonuses and the hookers and blow fund is overflowing.
It couldn't possibly be that they predicted exactly this and presented it clearly to upper management who then decided they could get a really fat bonus for keeping costs down and deploy the golden parachute before the inevitable disaster.
Having a port that can be used specifically for software updates and diagnostiocs isn't such a big problem, even without signatures (the hackability can be a nice feature).
The concern is the bit about them being able to use the HDMI port top push software. That is the sort of thing a bad guy could use to hack the monitor remotely.
What makes you so convinced it's not true? Do you see any reason why secret courts with secret hearings should be considered legitimate? Do you find indefinite imprisonment without trial to meet Constitutional muster? Is there reason to believe it's legitimate for law enforcement and prosecutors to lie in court? How about the director of the NSA perjuring himself before Congress?
In some cases it turned out the shooting was justified (but not the rapid circling of the wagons that made people think they had something to hide). In others, the victim was shot in the back while running unarmed or shot in the legs while laying on the street with hands up and no weapon. Sometimes video even shows a weapon being planted after the fact.
And as an adult, you should know that you reversed the problem in the first paragraph by supplying the correct usage within the question. You should further realize that most adults who frequently use the wrong word will also get it right when you do that for them.
Ask someone who confuses venomous and poisonous if that rattlesnake is venomous and SURPRISE, they'll say yes. Ask them if the roach tablets are poisonous and SURPRISE! two for two.
It's funny you condemn the 14 year old for every possible mental slip and failure to behave as an adult but forgive the cops and school officials (actual adults) for assuming the worst based on a clearly screwed up Hollywood image of what a bomb looks like, complete with the rules like "All bombs have a digital readout to tell the hero exactly how long he has to defuse the bomb", "The digital readout never lies", and you have to guess the correct wire to cut so the timer will stop but if you cut the wrong wire, the timer will fast forward to zero before the bomb can actually explode.
That one is dead now. It applied when older workers necessarily didn't have access to a computer until at least college. These days, the older workers also grew up with computers. Further, this survey was of 'information workers', so I doubt very much that computers would be new to any of them.
So now we know for a fact that a fair portion of our government in illegitimate and a domestic enemy of the people. The lack of prosecution speaks to the size of the corruption. But this is still playing out.
There are a few valid reasons not to block spoofed caller ID (for example, the appropriate callback number may actually not be the number of the outbound line), but that in no way prevents enforcement of laws and regulations surrounding robocalls.
Caller ID is nearly meaningless, but do you think the BILLING department relies on Caller ID? The metadata used for billing is quite reliable and spoofing is not allowed.
We just need to play the exciting game of "Here's your fine". I'll bet if the local telco is offered a choice of pay the million dollar fine themselves or tell who handed the call off to them, they'll find that metadata. Lather, rinse, and repeat until you end up at a call center.
Yes, because if someone has a medical emergency in a dark corner of the bar, it could take a bystander seconds to hike all the way to the bar where the landline is! Seconds they could have spent drunkenly fumbling for their cellphone in the wrong pocket.
Clearly, the solution is to serve drinks in the emergency room so if there's a problem, help is right there.
Yes, that and the ability to stimulate phosphors to produce white light were absolutely the most important things they enabled. It just took a few more years to get that perfected.
I do remember that. The doping to make blue LEDs was a big breakthrough. Before that, it was technically possible but they started dimming the moment they were powered on and were fully failed within an hour. IIRC there was a Nobel prize awarded for the breakthrough.
Actually, when they first came out, they were used because they were 'cool' and 'new'. We were all quite used to seeing red, yellow, and green LEDs for many years. Blue was just different and very bright in comparison.
The one place it really made sense was the locator light on servers. It was fairly easy to find the box with the blue light turned on.

That's because you have a usable system without a database or image editor. A kernel with no userspace isn't useful.

Running around in circles is not progress. A chicken can manage that without it's head.
He's also developed a few good ciphers such as Blowfish.

Keep in mind, that list covers the entire world, 60 years time, and includes unproven allegations.
I doubt the accuracy of the 5% figure. I read that the Earth is flat.

They just have it back to front. The thieves are reprogramming the car to accept the fob they have, not the other way around.
Even that wouldn't necessarily disentangle them from this matter since the allegation is bulk hacking outside of the UK.

Yes. That includes attempted fraudulent trade and advertising practices, such as robocalling. Also, the Do Not Call list.
Sure there is. Durability.
Step 2, hope neighbor doesn't put in an open WiFi.

Not in the U.S. as far as I know. Certainly it isn't well promoted if it is possible.
