People is cheap. Capacited enough people isnt so. Sending people far enough out is definately expensive (not just because the liftoff cost, engine/survival matters too). Those costs counts as risks too.
About the liftoff cost, if we have ever an space elevator costs them could go a bit down. Till them, sending anything far is so expensive that any kind of fail is a big risk.
What to do if something unespected happens? Abort, Retry or Fail?
Telepresence will enable us to see what happened a lot of time ago, but takes out human choices for all practical reasons for interesting enough distances.
If that ships enables you to live (even in suspended life form) till you reach almost anywhere outside the solar system, probably you will be the only earth survivor by the time you reach there, at least with most current technologies. Sending seeds of human civilizations out there could well count as a backup system, specially counting the amount of times things happened here that could wipe the entire race or at the very least the current civilization.
Sending "watchers" first, robots, AIs, telepresence, etc, could avoid some of the risks, but will we have enough time?
Even for an advanced AI of the XXV century as Data was pretty hard to discern when something was funny or not.
And if they manage to make an AI that recognize and enables to discern or even make always funny jokes we will be so amused that wont worry about spam anymore. Mmm... maybe they already did
Not sure on what are you on, but must be strong. You seriously suggest Microsoft, the I-included-government-backdoor-in-every-windows Microsoft, the one that will do almost anything to enter into the chinese market, to provide the "secure" OS to the Dalai Lama?
I almost can hear a child saying "but... the emperor is naked!". The track of successful attacks on the windows platform, even to secure savvy people, is too long. And some of those attacks were discovered long after the fact just because tiny discrepancies.
No, not sure if there are "formal" auditing into code that goes into kernel or major pieces of the puzzle that is open source, but from there to say that noone checks another's work at all goes a bit of distance. And there is some strenght into the "puzzle" part.
Yes, could be an infiltration in open source software if you take an army of skilled programmers for that task, that could eventually could be busted or not (the many eyes theory is not a guarantee, but is a posibility that exist).
But what if a closed source company wants to put something intended in their OS? Remember how easy was to the security experts to decipher what Conficker will do? And that wasnt even from the maker of the OS.
My recommendation would be something open source, not so edgy, that passed the test of time, but secure and functional.
Depend what you call pole. Antarctic is pretty big, could feel the warming at the borders (that comes thru water mostly) and the bigger income of cold air from high atmosphere closer to the center.
What is clear is that the system is not trivial enough to point that something is happening just because in certain place is warmer or colder alone. You must take into account water/air circulation in the whole system at the very least too. Or choose to take the the butterfly or shit happens explanations.
Losing? You had a time machine and saw those 80% person actually buying the game if it wasnt pirated in an alternate reality?
The game was played because there was pirated by all those people. Probably most would not buy it anyway, and maybe even some that pirated it would go after a successful try to buy it. And maybe more important, it could have created a critical mass of players that could had made the game more interesting or popular, leading to actually more sales in the future.
Of course, all of this if the game was actually playable in the pirated form.
Lots of game do extremelly well giving for free (i.e. no need to pirate) the game, either in little limited form or giving extras for actually paying users (code is free fully for all users, the paying ones get advantages). But that income could be slow at the start.
In the DNA of other species could be nice things to acquire, but i dont think we are ready for that kind of things yet.
But what about the other direction? You can make animals (cows?) to produce human organs for transplant. That would be a bit better than taking them from humans or letting the patient die.
Of course, you can also start your own no-human-killed factory of soylent green.
What about slashdot itself? Internet can be seen as content (images, movies, texts, programs, etc) and links to that content, and most of them are from outside the domain serving the content.
If slashdot makes some profit, and an user links to a.torrent, or to piratebay itself, or to whatever that could be treated as questionable for some court, or even suggest that some thing could be out there, could be at risk? What about front page stories, that are somewhat approved by site administrators?
What if a user puts as journal daily tpb links, like they tried to do with facebook? Will all the sites with user-driven content need to be censored from now on because of this?
Laws arent so flexibles to include "maybe", they draw well defined lines that usually put in the wrong side the right uses, including future ones.
Protect from what? What kind of behaviour in an app that you installed as root you should block that no rightful app should do?
Connecting to hundreds of pcs? thats what any p2p do. Connecting to one "master" periodically to get updates? rss readers do that, or whatever package manager, or widget installer.
No OS is safe from that. But is not like it entered like an unpatched, OS-bundled hole, or that enabled the OS supplied browser to automatically execute something or disguise the real url you are visiting.

The order of the lines of the thread seems to be badly mixed up.
is whatever is running the Mars Rover. They didnt especified the planet, and probably will pay NASA to launch a probe loaded with Vista to Venus to have some backing to their claims.
Unless, of course, they got misquoted. In "The Planet", a small internet cafe somewhere, there are 2 PCs with Windows Me, and one with Windows Vista, and there they tested the SP2.
But why to try to explain it? Is the standard Microsoft speech that claimed that 640k is enough, that Internet Explorer 1.0 was secure, and that windows vista with no problems will run on average circa 2004 PCs. The only place where secure and MS OS were ever together were in MS sales speech.
Was about to suggest that too. My biggest concern is that the "solution" dont solves one of the biggest problems: 2 access to get that URL. I must access the short url, wherever it is, parse/interpret headers, and then go to the real page.
With a simple solution that could be a symlink (or server configuration, or catch-all index.php that serves all the content directly) the client only must do one connection to get the real content of the page.
Of course, there is the option that your server/cms/whatever support meaningful short urls, like this rewrite rules.
Linux is coming to you from 2 directions, the totally visible one that is your very government using/standarizing on it, and the subtle one that are cellphones and netbook bios.
At this rate wont be surprised a lot if Windows 8 ends being a MS version of Wine running in top of linux.
Nice way to conmemorate the 10th year since that movie... scorching the skies as Morpheus said, just that "the machines", this time, are just spambots.
In spanish that eye disease is called cataratas, and that word can be translated too to waterfalls. When read about a puzzle in the eye, tetris was my 1st idea with that in mind.
First they got angry with the movie, destroyed all the seats, and then started hitting and slapping each one for going to see it. In a lights out, you only see a lot of standing people and the clapping sound.
Or.. the seats were all taken by the actors, red shirts, extras, old series characters, etc, so the people that went to the cine had to be standing. The movie finished, the director said "ok, now lets go for a beer to forget this" and got an ovation.

If the ruling implies that anything that hyperlinks is liable, then internet itself is illegal.
So, or you cant have that ruling, or you cant have internet, is an easy choice.

By now, the most common cases are that you use a program that generates the HTML and/or you did that program.
That was their 9th plan after they got tired of anal probing potential communists.

Several interpretations for that;
