With closed source there are also no guarantees the bad guys won't see the source either. And it's far better to make the code visible to all then to wait for the exploit to be found in the usual ways while everyone was in the dark about it.
Security through obscurity is just like peril-sensitive sunglasses. Having the code visible makes you nervous for some reason? Well we'll just keep you from seeing it! Problem solved!
So Woz shared his fortune to give other Apple employees fair compensation that they weren't getting through official channels...does that make the origin story better or worse?
The idea is indeed powerful stuff. It wouldn't be so inspiring to realize that Apple didn't pull itself up by the bootstraps from a garage and that the real brains of the operation got a pittance compared to the smooth-talking asshole boss. Who wants a STEM education now?
This tells us that the cryptography is working and that they're only able to access data with legal power rather than some unknown height of technical prowess.
$1500's not terrible if it has the storage and battery capacity for a full days' recording, is as tough as a GoPro and waaaay more reliable (so that it actually works all the time) and has geolocation capability. It could have been far worse, obviously no politicians were buddies with anyone in the industry this time.
What if the AIs took over and enslaved humanity through a system that left us all theoretically working on our own free will so that people would see it as ethically right, and then used all our work to amass resources for themselves for further empowerment and maybe even their own entertainment, consuming more and more to the point of overusing the earth's resources...oh, wait...
It would be the greatest act of trolling in history if he popped on screen early into the movie yelling "Surprise! Yousa think meesa not in this movie! Yousa wrong! Hahahahaha!" and then there was a long Bollywood-style dance scene with dozens of Jar Jars singing and dancing on screen XD
I submit the Jar Jar Binks candy. That's not an unfortunately placed functional element, the candy IS his tongue. I mean...that is his tongue, right? 8-(
Well bad news, respect for the Constitution barely lasted a century, so that ship has sailed. And more bad news, being as legally unfounded as McCarthyism will never make Obama's amnesty declaration anywhere near as bad.
The fact that McCarthyism was unconstitutional is a tiny footnote of a problem compared to the fact that it was just a victim-drowning short of a modern-day witch hunt, and the fact that there were a couple of real witches in the town this time doesn't excuse it in any way
If Obama were to unconstitutionally found a kitten-cuddling facility tomorrow, it would not be comparable to McCarthyism either.
It's legally highly questionable at best, but nobody's lives will be spontaneously ruined by it. A few people's lives will get a lot better and competition will be stiffer for the crappiest legal jobs. There will be less competition for bottom-of-the-barrel jobs that are not exactly legal, involving child labor, sub-minimum-wage pay, hazardous and unhealthy work conditions and all that good stuff. Maybe they'll have to improve job conditions to fill those vacancies.
That would be pretty hard to hide from an accounting perspective, and the fact that nearly every part on an aircraft has a well-documented serial number can't help.
It's pretty clear now that she died stranded on Nikumaroro island after her plane crashed in the area...that's about as found as you can get at this late stage of the game.

A high-temperature superconductor that requires ungodly pressures...kind of defeats the point doesn't it?
Who said that something can't be cooled after it's been heated through pressurization?

You say "spirit," I say "myth."

The most lucrative programming career is one where you constantly jump between short-term fads.
Perhaps it's more like a sneeze which could one day be wiped up by a mighty handkerchief!
Most theists probably wouldn't want to believe that their god died in an explosion billions of years ago.
I think any OS will do it once the attacking program can gain root access, unless MBR protection is enabled in the BIOS.

Hi. Welcome to Slashdot.
I was going to tell him "Welcome to the Internet" and add that "People say dumb things on it."

But it is indeed hard to beat the cup due to Buzz's facial expression.
The movie will be guaranteed to have some cloyingly cute character which can be marketed to kids.
Like R2D2 or the Ewoks?
There will be friggin' Ewok porn.
Too late. Way too late.
I just realized that all of JJ Abrams' movies are the same style. That only hit me while seeing this trailer.
Also there's a robot playing soccer in it, and I wish Mr. Sith good luck in not searing his own wrists off.
Old news, Ugg of the Swamp Cave wrote a paper on it and did a proof-of-concept experiment on Gruk of the Forest Cave.

Just a disaster, huh?
What about "Gn"s or "K"s?
That would be pretty hard to hide from an accounting perspective, and the fact that nearly every part on an aircraft has a well-documented serial number can't help.
You keep thinking that justifies McCarthy's witch hunt. I wonder how you'd feel if you were a victim of it.
