Yes the source is available and you can fix it yourself... But how many people have the time to do so.
You also have to ask how many people have the skills to do so. When I first started using Linux about 10 years ago back when I had no programming knowledge whatsoever every little problem I had was met with derision and the unhelpful response "RTFM" or "fix it yourself". Usually the manual was cryptic broken English and anything but helpful especially for newbies. Luckily things have improved drastically but these types of experiences are what gives Linux a negative image. And let's also not forget its proponents https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I25UeVXrEHQ))
One thing is to not allow for any company or organization to regularly automatically debit your account even when alive. It's best to have 100% control over that type of thing at all times. Other than that you'll be dead anyway, so you shouldn't have anything to worry about.
Another problem in Europe is that not everyone is entitled to a degree but everyone has to pay taxes to support the lucky few that do. In Germany children as young as 10 are put on paths of either obtaining a degree or baking bread for the rest of their lives.
People who predate the invention of the telephone do in fact sit on the bench.
According to Wikipedia that earliest public demonstration of Alexander Graham Bell telephone was in June 1876. While it's true that US Supreme Court judges are appointed for life I am not aware of any that are currently over the age of 135.
The general idea is good and would be quite interesting, but there appears to be just too much room for error in this "study". Ihr koennt's bestimmt noch viel besser
They got themselves into this mess by imposing editorial control over the iPhone in the first place. They made their bed, now they get to lie in it. This is the real problem I have with Apple and the fact that they control whatever content gets loaded to what they see as "their" devices. I miss the days when just anyone with programming knowledge could write a program to run on a computer. Today's hardware is far too locked down and protected by draconian DRM and similar "laws." Apple and similar companies seem to think that they are leasing hardware rather than selling it.

Anyone who uses their own employer's email system to carry out conspiracy and fraud deserves to get caught.
"I assume it's part of the Patriot Act and I really don't mind,"
I guess it's ok since it's only just part of the Patriot Act.
It should have been called "Whimper".
I have just stolen all your comments.
Perhaps you should try to steal some of that good old English grammar? (Remember this is Slashdot.)
The plural of sperm is sperm.
The original intent was a good thing, but today its purpose is for nothing else than to give jobs and money for lawyers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LpTPTQ3e0Jg

I really like the idea of the idea of Open Prosthetics Project (OPP)
If you don't like it then you're not patriotic and might be a terrorist.
It's not about whether or not your politicians are crooked. It's about finding their preferred flavor of cookie.
Don't you mean flavour of biscuit?
Nukes are bad!
Flying is a privilege and not a right, so if you want to fly you have to put up with the TSA. Remember they are protecting us all.

It's nice to see some potential competition for a change. IMO, for the past 2 decades the west has been getting way too soft.

If they are law-abiding then the drones should not have to worry about drones. It's only criminals who should worry.
Texas cops are not violating anyone's freedoms, they are fighting crime and catching criminals. Didn't you know that?
You do realize that that would be breaking the law and you could get arrested.

"complete and utter legal ignoramuses do not end up as high-level judges"
Nice appeal to authority there.

But Apple doesn't own the hardware that people purchased and they should not have the final decision as to what people load onto their own devices.

Is the following scenario plausible?

/TempDirectory is deleted. (oops)
