    That's not true.They crash for a reason.
    either this reason is Windows, or it isn't.

    If it has no network and no physical access, you can divulge the root password as much as you like.

    Yeah.

    Nope.
    There are only two ways to do that:
    1. Air Gap. No That doesn't work. Try vacuum gap.
    2. Hammer. If It ain't broken, you didn't hit hard enough. If it's broken into small enough pieces, then it's secure.

  7. Also a requirement : have a good Linux support out of the box.

  8. Users ? That's not a problem any more.
    Just automate users.

    >> LIDAR powerful enough to cut through an intense hailstorm .... could easily break 2KW.
    Perhaps, but :
    1) it's pulsed, so 2kW average power is way less
    2) These situations happen in 0.01% of cases, so the average power is still very low.
    3) Trying to use more power to overpower the same system from your neighbor is very bad system design. Aside from being illegal in some situations, it leads to a crowded spectrum and a power arms race, wich worsens the spectrum situation even more. This is exactly what happens to WLAM in cities. Use smarter time sharing instead of blindlessly turning up power.

  12. Antivirus are snake oil.

  13. >> ...The researchers concentrated on posts relevant to Java security ...

    Java security. Those two words simply do not belong together.
    It should be syntaxically forbidden to write them side by side.

    GM execs are not relevant any more in the car industry.

    That's bullshit.
    With closed source software, the person with access to the binary has access to the vuln.
