Looking back, what made all the difference

On: Interviews: Ask Stephen Wolfram a Question

Looking back from when Mathematica / Wolfram Language started, what (if any) essential factors have shaped the coherent system for modern technical computing the way we see it today?

If you support linux, why you want to release it?

On: Ethics of Releasing Non-Malicious Linux Malware?

If you created this code in hopes of making things better, first of all, talk to developers, if you have good ideas about how to eliminate such possible threats, or write articles and talk to regular people about good computer practice and computer security thus educating them. Those who do understand computer security, already know it is possible to hack any system and they do not need any kind of demonstration. It has always been possible to hack a system, whether it is windows, mac or linux, ...just wait for a bug and thats it you will have your chance of hacking. And to release it, just to show some regular people that it is possible to hack stuff in linux too is useless, pointless and even harmful in longterm. Regular people do not understand, do not want to understand and will never understand computer security. So if you wan't to make thing worse, go, release the code and start to screw up the linux system.
