    Yup I'll bet a bunch. It is not hard if you have a clue as to what you are doing to hide in a public net connection.

    Professional hackers do it every single day. And yes it takes more knowledge about networking and computers than 80% of the population has to do it, bit it certainly can be done.

    Read history that is not westernized. Poly is actually quite normal in the past. Just like how it was expected that you got your sister in law pregnant if your brother dies and they don't have a kid.

    If your car stereo is controlling the Fuel system and exhaust system, then the car was designed by morons.

    Agreed, most car drivers are uneducated and untrained fools that almost kill people daily. As a motorcycle rider I wish a drivers license was far harder to get and keep, because most of the idiots out there behind a steering wheel are incapable of driving the vehicle safely.

    And I never said, "take away the bad stuff" All I said is that most of the people whining about guns are actually buying them. But not being smart and getting some classes or training. Most gun shops will gladly give them some safety classes for a very low price.

    Really? then why does my local gun shop have them?
    Armalite sells them at most sporting goods shops, and there are a ton of other companies selling AR-10 rifles.

    Very cool that all of the prototypes are being sold to the public in small shops!

    Yes it is. the ECM and BCM are the most complex system, then the Safety restraint system the Infotainment system is the last and threfore the simplest.

    you need 6 buttons on the steering wheel.

    That is it. anything that requires a touchscreen in the car is an epic failure in design.

    It's not. the article writer has zero clue as to what they are talking about.

    The "infotainment" system is the simplest system in your car. They just hype it to try and justify the $3500 additional cost to the car price.

    You dont understand how many AR-15's and AR-10's have been sold to citizens in the past 6 months. Even bleeding heart liberals have been buying them.

    Enough to scare most politicians. I'm scared about the number of untrained and no experience fools that have high power match grade rifles. IT takes brains to safely use these.

    "and who knows what that's doing." The guys working on and testing it. If you think that CM is sending secret data without the knowlege of the devs' then you need a better brand of tinfoil. they have sniffed every byte that comes out of the devices running CM. In fact the CM guys know more about Android than the best developers at LG,HTC,Samsung, and Motorola Combined. And I'm betting they know some things that the Google guys dont know.

    Compile it yourself. they have instructions on how to do it. Plus you get thousands of eyes that have looked through all that code, or are you saying they are all agents of evil as well?

    But I know you have extra strawmen lying around.... "did you inspect the code?" "How can you trust the compiler?" Did you inspect the microcode for the processor?" How can you trust the electrons coming from the electrical grid?
