Of course, they could easily just use encryption, which is dead easy and widely available. Just encrypt the message and send it over some clear channel like IRC. If you don't mind a little centralization, run a Jabber server and connect securely to that, and you don't have to fiddle with PGP.
How would using a different platform for the server solve all of his problems? Every platform has similar problems; there's no "turn-key" substitute for knowing what you're doing.
My advice: don't release the source. If the application is secure, release it. If it's riddled with vulnerabilities, releasing the source code will only cause headaches for you (and your players). Good choice on a permissive license though.;)
Electronics are designed well within tolerances for temperature and EM interference. At least, good ones are. Since my fans are broken, I've been running the GPU in my Thinkpad to 107C every day for a few years when I play games. No problems yet.

Your response is the one in error. We walk around in fields accepting the risk that there's a tiny chance you could be hit by lightning. When lightning does strike and kill somebody a thousand miles away, that hasn't changed the risks involved. You're still going to walk around in fields.
Now, whether you should be subjecting yourself to the risk in the first place is a different issue. But if a single unlikely burst changes our policy then that means it was seriously flawed to begin with.
I do remember something about the US screwing over some small country recently so WIPO issued sanctions saying that they wouldn't be expected to enforce US copyright law in that country for a period of time. Essentially they have the approval of the international community to pirate whatever they want from the US and they don't have to pay licensing. It wasn't Argentina though.
Cameras stop cheating, not crime. With hundreds of full time security guys walking around, you don't need cameras to quell violence. The only analogue to NJ would be if you put 2 cops on every street corner.
See, computers are racist because they make them too hard to use. They need to make them easy like TV so people in the community can have good jobs. Computers are made by whites and Chinese, and they don't like it when we try to get ahead.
In fact, since Javascript is capable of self-modification it’d be nice to see extensions that could update themselves on-the-fly, only updating the actual files on the disk when the browser is restarted.
Most extensions modify the way the browser is set up when it's started: the look of the address bar, some special thing in the statusbar, whatever. Yeah you could in theory create a special update script for every extension that reloads only certain components of the browser, but it's really easier to just restart the browser.
No, noscript can't do this. Noscript just changes http to https. If you want more complex rewriting like
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page to https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Main_Page then you need something like this extension.
Of course, it's useless in the case of wikipedia, because no images at all are available from the secure server. The extension will let images through unencrypted, so it's very easy to tell what page you're looking at. You can just go to the image pages and scroll down to "what links here," and the page that appears in every list is the page that the person is looking at.
You can block unsecure content with noscript but articles are unusable without the helpful diagrams and pictures.
Good luck making yourself understood without infringing on my "Method to aid in communicating with other similar minds by means of symbolizing common thoughts" patent on language!

Ironically, your post follows the response predicted by the meta-meme exactly.
How will wrapping the phone in a case and then holding it the same way as before fix the problem?
Yep, here's the article.
I'll better that offer- $6M USD, delivery in 9 to 10 years!
That would be hilarious, not offensive. I'd buy swag from whatever company vengefully blocked them back.
Don't know where you've been but on my planet closed ballots are a fundamental requirement for democracy...

I don't know 20 years seems like an awful long time to be barred from doing something illegal...
Maybe they should just make normal data transfer reasonably priced instead of jacking up SMS pricing...

Logic?

There's nothing converse about anything you said.
So you'd rather have extensions updating themselves through their own downloader code than have them just use the Firefox update framework?
How about sending your login credentials to the server? That's not encrypted.
