You couldn't misunderstand Batman more even if you tried.
When it was introduced, Batman was the first comic that didn't take place in a manichean world. The sentence means that anyone claiming to be pure white will in time necessarily become grey.
Committing a single thing against the law is enough to be villain, while you have to not do anything against the law to be a pure hero. Not white is not equal to black.
The point of Batman is that, unlike Superman, it is not a simple world of black and white, since even the main character, a dangerous vigilante, often fighting for revenge or his own selfish reasons, is morally ambiguous. The good guys can act like bad guys, and sometimes the bad guys do good things too (or at least have good intentions).
I suggest you don't teach any stupidity to your kid at all. Let him learn things by himself and reflect on them.
The way I see it, the main problem with digital signing is that you need to manually retrieve the signature of someone (which involves him publishing it on a website, which for added security needs to have proper security certificates) and add it to a database so that you can indeed check that the signature at the end of his emails matches his/her signature as it was published on a trusted source.
I believe that if governments provided a trusted online database with the signatures of all citizens it would make things significantly easier to use. This could even be used as proof of identity in official cases.
So you know everything about how how an airplane works?
I'm not the one driving the plane, but I certainly expect that the pilot and his team certainly know how it works, yes.
You know enough to do all your own home repairs, no matter how complex? You know everything about engine repair and never need a mechanic?
I like work to be well done, so either I spend a lot of time studying the problem domain and attempt to do it myself once I'm confident that I can execute the proper procedures, or I contract a professional to do it for me. I advise other people to do the same.
Computers are tools and you can get useful work out of a tool without knowing all the details about how it works. In fact it would be a HUGE waste of money, brains and time for you to try to learn all of that.
Actually, studies clearly demonstrate that investing time to be more familiar with the tools you use daily make you significantly more productive than any productivity-enhancing methodology.
If someone cannot be trained to do a simple task quickly with a tool then the tool is badly designed. Computers are no exception.
So you agree a minimum of training is required. Most people using computers have no training at all. Programming a computer is a basic skill, and should be taught in school along with mathematics and physics (especially since it's essentially the same thing).
Computers are working tools, and manipulating a tool is something that must be learned. Many people seem to be strongly opposed to trying to understand how a computer works to use it, but sorry, that's just the way things work. People not trained in the use of machine tools are not allowed to use them, it should arguably be the same thing for computers.
People will eventually learn that they should work to earn money instead of rioting and asking for the governments to compensate them for their bad business decisions.
It's funny how Americans are so afraid of losing their place as the most powerful country. You realize that almost one fifth of the human population is chinese?
On the contrary, I've been using Linux for a very long time, and Ubuntu is the only distribution that had managed to penetrate the user's base significantly. Unfortunately, due to a number of bad decisions, it's turning people off Linux, even though this is clearly a time of opportunities for Linux. Windows sucks, Mac sucks, but then, there is no good Linux distribution to offer to mere mortals, so they're gonna stay with that crap.
You're welcome to try. NNTP to download things has become irrelevant. Nowadays it's costly, annoying, has short history and isn't really faster than other methods.

"lol" is all that comes to mind.
Getting virii implies running binary code that you do not trust.
If you don't run arbitrary binary code, then you don't need any sort of anti-virus.
As far as I can tell, all of these are valuable traits and not "illnesses".

Enjoying your leash?
The only smart thing women can do is manipulating men, don't be tricked.
It's true. Anti-virus software is useless.
It used veganboy's email address. You can send an email from any address, there is no need to get access to any account for this.
The only way to guarantee that someone sending an email is really who he claims to be is digital signing, and for some reason no one uses it.
People like you are the real problem.

It's not arbitrary, it's signed.
No programming language can replace the problem of people not being able to write code without exploits.
Stack smashing isn't the only problem.
It's definitely not illegal.
No law can ever make it illegal to write any code you want on your own machine.
Publishing malware software however, might be illegal in certain cases, as it might be considered a weapon in certain legislations.
I believe France is capable of this as well.
The casualties in civilian deaths (on both sides) would be too high for any government to not end up being prosecuted for crime against humanity.
The US government is only able to justify war if it can prove it has been attacked first.
20 hours? That's long for a modern console game.

War has become useless.
The new "wars" are economical.

You sir, are a troll and an idiot.
I take it you think only the scene makes proper releases too?
