The suit has been canceled after Emma Alvarado was abducted by a mysterious, well-organized, group of mosquitoes. When asked for a comment on the strange occurrence, Bill Gates is said to have laughed awkwardly while pressing his fingertips together. More on this as it develops.
The article never mentioned the economic feasibility.
I highly doubt that for now that this will be cheap.
How much does this arsenic trisulfide stuff cost, anyway?
TPB is just a torrent hosting site.
Torrents are tools, just like guns - they can be used for piracy or downloading copies of a game a person lost.
And the whole issue of being "accessories" of copyright infringement is pointless, like suing the gun companies if a murderer killed some one with one of their guns.
Just because there are less holes found doesn't mean that they are smaller. When Windows has a hole, people go "I'll just have to wait for another patch. Again..." while with Linux it's more of "Oh God no!".
Sort of like car crashes(Windows holes) vs airplane crashes(Linux holes).
You also seem to have forgotten that in closed source software, only the company can fix it. And bad guys are still going to find flaws.
With open source, the good guys find and fix flaws faster.
In both cases, the hackers still find bugs.
Closed source is Security through obscurity vs Kerckhoffs' principle
Even though social attacks are easy and possible, aren't technical attacks a threat?
Eg, buffer overflows using chat rooms, a game server designed to spew out infections code, the like.
There really isn't much a user could do against this besides waiting for the next patch, unlike social attacks which can be deflected with a little education and caution.

But how much will this thing cost? Or is there some other cost in practicality?
I, for one, welcome our new redundant Skynet/Overlord comment overlords.

The Pirate Bay does not make their uploads. The users do.

The viruses and stuff will just hook into IE.
Oh wait, IE already has a trojan in it(Live Search ahem).
At least with a machine gun, the corpses don't rise back from the dead.
Just like how similar groups in the past wanted radio, VCRs and cable tv dead.

Or flip a coin?
So what if, for reasons beyond my control, I had to keep windows?
Really, do they need so much capacity that they have to resort to the ocean?
Still, that won't protect CBC from the hockey stick blows.
You can also go ahead and kidnap the software devs and force them to port the program. That won't have much memory overhead.
Yep, solar flares will due a nice job of stabbing any of earth's magnetic fields/cloaks.
At some point, it will stop getting smaller.
Hey, if it doesn't work, he can always just hook up wires directly into an electric guitar.
Of course, it isn't in the middle, it's at both ends at the same time.
