By revealing security flaws you expose what might have been concealed or even unnoticed.
And crimes are not all committed by well informed criminals exclusively. In fact, crimes of opportunity are most prevalent. So your attitude just makes it all the more likely that someone gets their hands on something they normally wouldn't have thought of getting in the first place or wouldn't have gone to the extra effort.
Hey everyone! Serviscope sets his gate's combination lock to 777. Go steal something from him so he knows his backyard is vulnerable!
If this is a security flaw then so is a pair of bolt cutters.
And what I do is far more worth while then enabling yet a larger set of individuals to break into secure facilities. This whole idea that if you find a vulnerability, you should publish it, is complete bullshit pushed by childish morons with a very warped sense of morality.
If I'm a NYTs stockholder and I learned they turned down $300 million only to take $100 million and a shitty deal, I'd be thinking lawsuit.
They knew the value was declining both through the falling subscriptions and the fact that a billion dollar investment could only garner a $300 million offer back then. From there it could only get worse.
They should have sold to the highest bidder, politics be damned.
Copyright enables the creators of content to enjoy the fruits of their labor. Just because they labored long ago doesn't mean it isn't the result of their efforts.
If you built a house, do you think someone whould be able to move in 20 years later just because it was twenty years ago you built it?
If they are being assholes with their copyright, don't watch/listen/read and they will go broke.
People will rue the day that they allowed the Executive Branch to so widely ignore laws on immigration, health care, spending and now finding of a duly authorized organization.
...what he is really calling for is for government to pass laws that enable him to achieve his goal. So... coerce others to work with him.
While it is a laudable goal, it will only come to fruition when he or someone else makes a convincing financial argument for it to the producers of the content.
What purpose is there in the government sanctioning and providing special privileges for marriage if not to encourage reproduction in order to ensure the survival of society?
Remove that reason and there is no other reason for government to be involved in marriage at all.
What will happen is that the feds will watch obsessively for people doing this (pressure cookers and backpacks) until someone figures another way to hurt others, then the will switch to that.
That's why we still take off our shoes (shoe bomber) and then sniff our undies (underwear bomber).
I usually eat lots of aromatics before a flight to make sure the undies have a very nice bouquet for TSA should they insist on the Full Monty

I'm trying to think of where our education went wrong to the point that people like you think you should get free stuff just because it's easy to do.
If Ansel Adams were alive today, you would deny him the right to profit from his efforts just because it's easy for you to copy photos.
You don't see anything wrong with that?
"I can't believe Nixon won. Nobody I know voted for him!"
Its nothing more than another vector towards diminish firearms affordability and availability.
Ya have to wonder why it has "...has raised eyebrows in China..."
Did they think everyone would just sit around while they grew their military and acted like buffoons?

Why would they do this?
Is there some cure to cancer behind a locked door that they think needs to be free? Perhaps some long lost formula for turning water into gas?
None of the reasons always offered up to justify breaking encryption applies here. How is it that civilization is made better by this?

Pretty fucking simple.
It was inevitable that a story which was actually kind of interesting and offered new insights would turn into some diatribe on global warming.
Seems like anytime anyone writes anything they just throw in some stupid reference to global warm to appear chic.
"Puppies and Kittens are cute and fun, but Global Warming threatens their fur"

What is described is two different jobs.
In the last 90 years we haven't suddenly become idiots
Umm...Look around you.
And they should be hourly rates, set according to the education and certification of the Dr. Also, equipment should be charged at an hourly rate.
The opacity of actual costs is probably the most significant driver of increased costs.
Can it sort and identify duplicates automagically in my porn collection?
Dinosaur flatulence.
Don't the Art Houses have a Porn formula?
Translation: the study is contradicted by made up data, so it would be interesting to understand why.
FTFY
...if any existing financial application actually has currency fields appropriately sized for that number.
I have no idea. What was that guy talking about anyway?
Metric aside, what scale is Very Large fall under?
Will the next one be called Big Ass Telescope? Then, perhaps, Ginormous Telescope?
I can't wait for the Fucking-A Telescope.
My gun safe weighs about 900 lbs. Good luck carrying that off unnoticed.
