Not really. Lookup tables are only really powerful if you are trying to reverse a hash, and a decent file encryption program won't store anything hash-like in the encrypted file.
You are essentially asserting that programs like Truecrypt and the various password safes cannot work, which is contrary to all the evidence (i.e., if they were weak and cracked, we would hear about it).
I have a degree in mechanical engineering (I even got decent grades). I was correcting a single point in the GP post (that moving things toward the center of the vehicle would somehow improve the center of gravity), not trying to insist that optimizing center of gravity was important.
Moving the weight from the wheels to the center of the car would likely have a negative impact on the center of gravity (as you would have more stuff to put in the center, causing you to put it higher, which is probably undesirable for a car.
So why not look at their financial situation? At a very high level, things do not appear to be 'dire', with $20 billion of operating income, and $14.5 billion of net income:
If the 2008->2009 trend of less revenues and less income continues, they would be in trouble, but having $14 billion of income isn't a real terrible place to be (especially if you compare it to revenues, most companies would wet themselves to net $0.25 on each $1.00 of revenues).
Firefox is running the the damn thing because of the registry entry. Firefox can avoid running it by ignoring the damn registry entry. Firefox supports running plugins based on registry entries because it is nice for people managing lots of systems.
The line between bearing liability and granting immunity is somewhat blurry (that they can simply grant immunity can sort of be described as a rather convenient way to bear the liability...); in any event, given that they are taking the heat, they aren't going to encourage distribution of something that is egregiously dangerous and ineffective.
I'm relatively certain because for the most part, people are honest, and someone (on the inside) would be screaming bloody murder if things were really a big scam.
There are real statistics regarding infant mortality and such that show the average person born today does quite a lot better than someone born 200 years ago. It is likely that the people you are talking about were writing about the absolute limits of human survival in that age.
A few billion dollars spent on vaccines is going to save hundreds of thousands or millions of lives. That's a fucking fantastic cost-benefit ratio for public health dollars.

Amazon is also a pretty significant technology company at this point.
I don't know, a couple of years ago, I decided it must be some sort of time lapse gimmick.
Meta.
If he doesn't manually insert the line breaks, you might not be able to see everything that he wrote.
There isn't any need for a third party application to parse the registry, it can (and should) just use the system apis for interacting with it.
Those people were publicly posting those links!
Google does enough actual irritating stuff (analytics...) that it makes no sense to complain about the things that they are not doing.

Probably. That doesn't help you a whole lot when someone else will only accept doc files.

Measuring from the years marked in the Bible, it is the year 2009.

Yeah, it was always fun to see them advertising that OnStar was available on more than 50 models.
Are the Blazer and Jimmy actually even different?

Also, 'do you think' is a pretty good prompt for making an assumption, you didn't ask what I knew for a fact, you asked what I thought.
Much of your point is that I am an untrustworthy source to begin with, not that I am becoming one.
Impossible? No. Unlikely? Yes.
I'm perfectly comfortable making assumptions.

Nope.

The same line of reasoning applies to a 9mm slug to the forehead.
