Sure. But losing access to the vast majority of content I occasionally watch is no the end of the world. In fact, if you're paying a subscription based fee, it would be in their interests to NOT try and fuck you over that way, or they lose a subscription.
Economy of scale. Population density in agricultural areas means your cost per port is huge. It is not profitable to install high bandwidth terrestrial based service in those areas, at a cost that people can afford.
Given the brain damage of C, that could just as easily have been a typo. I've seen a similar typo myself in an online game I used to be part of a coding team on, which resulted in everybody's skills being set to 99% the first time the code to check for skill advancement ran:D
How many C compilers can trace their lineage back to the original? I.e., they were compiled by a compiler that was compiled by a descendant of the original (possibly trojan-ed) C compiler. I'd say the only way you could consider being secure is to not write C at all. Though of course there's nothing to say that other languages have not been similarly compromised.
I think you misunderstand the premise. You can trust code you yourself write to not be concealing deliberately malicious intent. It still maybe INSECURE, but you can at least be sure of the INTENT of code you write yourself. This isn't the case with third party software.
Sure. If you live in the middle of nowhere here, you are limited to similar satellite or cellular plans. What's your point? Technology trails behind the curve in remote locations. If you want high tech, you move somewhere it exists.
Satellite bandwidth is expensive because there is limited spectrum available on each satellite, limited satellite coverage in a particular area, and as I'm sure you're aware - designing, building and launching additional satellites is not cheap.
The modern ISP also has huge, huge costs on hardware. How do you think they pay for the switching equipment required? Large quantities of Ten and 40 gigabit ports aren't cheap.
No, bandwidth does in fact actually cost money. How do you think you get content from offshore? Via cables between continents, or satellite. Bandwidth on said links is LIMITED.
Yes and no. We're getting to the point where links are fast enough to stream reliably. Which means you don't need to hoard a whole heap of media for future watching, you just watch on demand. My reference to hoarding was downloading a heap of stuff in advance to MAYBE watch later. If you can easily stream it any time you want, you don't need to hoard stuff any more.
Yup, go for it and see if you can do better. Bandwidth costs money. Sure, it is only photons or electrons, but you need to pay for your share of the capacity on the various links. And no, you don't NEED to download a few terabytes per month. I have capped internet here in Australia (150GB / month) and it is plenty, pretty much. There are terabyte plans available - we're getting to the point where caps are academic now, if you have fast enough internet to stream, there's no need to hoard stuff any more. And at a terabyte a month, you'll run out of space pretty quick if you keep filling your quota anyway. I used to work in a regional ISP, and have seen the bills on the other side...
And how are your customers going to get transit to your datacenter? That's right, equipment in the exchange, cellular airtime or satellite airtime. None of which is free.
Use those 2 ultra high def video processors in the front of your face, idiots. I await the coming lawsuits from people who were hit by a car without being warned by their phone in earnest.
Given that probably 90% of situations are common to every user of a particular app and used 90% of the time, having a "here's how to do the most common thing" tutorial before presenting all of the advanced options most users don't need or care about is probably sane.

Good thing the new generation CPUs have AES in hardware right? Much faster and more secure. Ohwait...

You realise that modern keyboards have firmware in them that can be compromised?

There's insecure, and there is deliberately and non-obviously malicious.
Cellular is so expensive because there is limited radio frequency available, and a hell of a lot of customers using it.

I wouldn't want to use an ISP as incompetent as that...

Exactly. Password reuse is bad, whether it's directly or via an authentication service.
Oh why sure, I'd love to have my facebook hacked and every website I visit being exposed.

You forgot that the iPhone's killer app, that all business users use is not on the app store. Mail.

Given the number of bugs in most code, I'd suggest that it is pretty poor documentation for what the code is SUPPOSED to do.
... couldn't find the languages compared? Curious to know how Ada fared and if Python was compared against it.
Not sure he still has that setup any more.
