It could mean a bunch of things. The threat being non-existent is merely one of them.
The threat could also be very rare, but have a high enough cost when it does occur that working to prevent it is beneficial. Those who would be carrying out the threat could think the security is better than it is and hence be using other methods,i.e. the deterrent factor is working.
/ is one of the two characters I said were fine to not allow, due to implementation simplicity. So there's no need to imagine such a file name.
But I have no problem with ";" in file names (or "|", or "&", etc). I don't interpret file names as shell commands since I put the commands in the text of the shell script files not in the file names.
Those clearly aren't life forms. Otherwise we might as well just declare the hydrogen atom the dominant form of life in the universe.
And anyway the bacteria that most likely accompanied Curiosity to Mars outnumber the robots on Mars. Of course they might not have survived the trip and would be dormant (though that's more alive than a rover.)
Microorganisms dominate Earth. It's all ridiculous "make shit up" speculation, but it seems reasonable that microorganisms would dominate other places that have life. Obviously its not proof, but you only asked for evidence. microorgnisms dominate known life in the Universe, surely the burden for evidence is on those claiming that the rest of the universe is different than the bit we have observed.
If you are talking about intelligent life engaging in interstellar space travel then sure, computer brains are more likely than biological life assuming our current understanding of physics is vaguely similar to reality but that's a different thing than the "dominant form of life in the Universe".
Sony of course then cancelled the release - they're pretty dumb but even they can work out that releasing your movie with a bunch of the large chains not showing it is a sure fire way to bomb at the box office. The reason for those chains not showing the movie is irrelevant to that decision.
Flipping something that cost you $205,000 for $50,000,000 is the relevant part. That usually makes the guy who sold you it for $205,000 look a little stupid.
Of course an experimental ebola vaccine wasn't worth that much in 2010 since the Africans needing it then didn't have lots of cash to pay for it. However, $200k isn't a huge amount of money for a government either, so you would hope the reason for selling the rights was so that a private party would actually do something to move the thing forward rather than just sitting on it and doing nothing until a white guy got infected and the ebola money jackpot triggered.

Donald Knuth is not "playing hardball." Nobody needs to call the interview "raw and uncut," or "unplugged."
Wow, where exactly did I (or CmdrTaco) use any of those phrases?
I would assume he was just playing the same game as claiming Knuth said "waste of time", which has a completely different connotation than "lots of time is wasted on activities that I simply never need to perform or even think about".
Knuth is a well-respected figure who makes moderate, thoughtful statements.
I happen to disagree with his stances on multi-core chips and unit testing. I didn't find anything thoughtful about what he said and really wish he would have elaborated on why unit testing is a complete waste of time.
It's Knuth, Mr. "Beware of bugs in the above code; I have only proved it correct, not tried it." Unit testing is the anti-thesis of proving the code is correct before even asking the compiler if it compiles. But again, with "waste of time" - that is not what he said. He even gave the situation he thinks it's useful in...
. Why is he publishing books if no one should listen to him?
Please point me to Knuth's books on multi-core processors and unit testing.
And the philosophy is different, literate program is essentially embedding the code in the documentation. Doxygen is more about embedding documentation in the code.
So doxygen gives you fancy comments and a way of generating documentation from them and from the code structure itself. CWEB lets you write the documentation and put the code in it deriving the code structure from the documentation, sample cweb program: http://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~knuth/programs/prime-sieve.w
Literate programming is more suited for "dense" programs, which surprise, surprise is the type of stuff Knuth does.

Given the first word is "whereas" it's stating the opposite of the post it is replying to.

US-CERT does and so when an article is just copy-n-pasted from the cert notice the article does too.

How does that stop you using * and ? in a file name. How does that stop you using "Character 255" in a filename?
It does of course stop you using utf8 filenames.
Cars are reasonably visible at night already, with the headlights and taillights and whatnot.
If the screens are linked to the indicators then cars are already very visible when you add flashing lights at that point.

NewLink Genetics didn't seem that big.
Canada just made a very bad deal with them. Then again hindsight and all that, an unproven ebola vaccine was worth less in 2010 than in 2014...

I didn't say it happens in every case. Can you read?
You read raw tex files too? The rest of us will run it through the processor and read the nicely formatted output.

You can not have heard of Knuth without also hearing of literate programming. Well OK, you can't have read his work anyway.
It predates it.
