Given how much time it takes for air safety organizations to approve a new technology aboard a plane cockpit, pilot-less civil airplanes are not for tomorrow. Keep this story in the freezer for another 20 years.
Before you had to be a pilot and wait for the 2nd pilot to take a pee in order to crash a plane. Soon you can do it right from the comfort of your favorite OS.
That reminds me of some Office version, maybe 2000, where the string "Microsoft Office" in the code was XOR encrypted with a key of 1 byte. The password "protected" documents were also dumbly encrypted (a Linux tool broke that in no time).

Seriously, the only reason I'm obliged to use MS Office is when a company sends a Word (xl...) doc that uses some features that Libre/Open Office don't support (well, or at all). That's basically any of the "comfort" feature. I'm lucky there is a version of MS Office for the Mac, but unfortunately it is badly supported and there are compatibility issues (the MS folks did a fork of MSOffice to develop the Mac version independently of the Windows version. That's severely retarded, but we've got no choice).
If only ODF could be adopted everywhere...

uh... they will... no, they did!

Memories of programming with the 6502 instruction set are so delicious that the only comparable thing to compare it to was my first orgasm.
Especially true when comparing to the 4 years later coming 8088 and its painfully segmented memory access.
Yeah, nice new features is a good thing. I just hope there won't be much regression re. the current v4 older features.
So if Apple products cannot be called Apple in Switzerland what are they called? Orange, Banana?

If the key is as long as the message, XOR is not that weak.
40 years ago I never heard of it.
Often I wish I never heard of it, today.

Maybe they'll shoot the Moon to see what happens. Darker nights for more romantic journeys.

What MS are scared of is a format that works across all platforms because, then, what's to say you'll bother to buy Office?
Definitely. I bless the day it's gotta happen.
Closed formats are a buffer for mistakes or resting on laurels.
Maybe, but "closed formats" is what ensured Microsoft a quasi-monopoly for the past 25 years.
a use-after-free scenario when playing certain audio files (...) can lead to a potentially exploitable crash
It has been reported that the crash always happen when playing J.Bieber stuff.
If that's a joke, that's unfortunate (and not funny).
You decided to be "different"
Different from what? A sheep?

It's still April 1st somewhere in the Pacific.
There is always a place on Earth where it's not April 1st, if only for an infinitesimal amount of time.
Well, if we'd be in - say - September, that article would clearly indicate slashdot has been severely hacked.
