The only difference in those two numbers are zeroes, and we all know that zero is equal to nothing. So no, there's no difference between 10 000 and 10.
I tried that logic with my bank and they looked at me funny.
I made another comment on the thread about downloading datasheets directly from the manufacturer (I used Atmel as an example), I was thinking about the Internet as a communication channel between us and the manufacturers.
But you're right that if we're talking about the internet as a whole, then yes it only makes the situation even worst.
But the Internet works in reverse. You request the document. So when the information gets updated, you get the updated version when you download the document again.
That's not how the Internet works at all. The erroneous version will show up in results 70 to 79, the fixed version will show up in results 80 to 89 and porn will show up for the first 69 results.
And errors on the Internet can be fixed and the corrected version is available immediately upon fixing, while errors in a giant printed manual will need a re-print every time an error is found and fixed, not to mention shipped to your house.
It's still around today and has one big advantage over our searchable digital lives: you know you can trust the accuracy of the information in those books at face value while online information requires validation.
And why should I not trust the accuracy of an Atmel part if I get the datasheet file from the Atmel website?
The reach of technology is, in most cases, world-wide. Do you expect people to be able to abide with all the rules and laws of all the countries on the planet? What's legal and morally accepted in one country is totally immoral and unlawful in another.
Most of the people who are in power and makes laws are too old to even begin to comprehend how things work and how much they are a part of modern society.
With that kind of logic you can find similar "links" between people and everything else on this planet. Why isn't there more tech-related articles on the Vatican website? Why isn't there more religion-related articles on the Microsoft website?
Slashdot is a tech-related news website, not a general news website. Your logic is flawed.
Chances are this isn't even a portscan at all, because what would be the point of scanning the same thing repeatedly? Chances are they've configured the target IP wrong, or the IP you now have used to be used by someone else etc.
... while the automaker has been experimenting with its own systems for years, it only revealed plans this month to begin testing on public streets in California.
Given that they'll be testing in California, is there any chance those cars will be electric?

Frank Costanza, is that you?
I think Douglas Quaid is already there, maybe we could ask him how things are going up there.

Cool, we'll be able to grow people to colonize the planet!
Wait, does that mean the machines won?
There's even a datasheet for useless things.

Yeah, pics or it didn't happen.

I guess that explains why my Arduino didn't survive my 500MHz overclock.

Or were given bad instructions by the people who needed the software.
That's why I use MasterCard.

CNC PCB mill.
Why do they keep experimenting with silver? Isn't it too expensive to ever be viable in commercial manufacturing?
Since Colossus isn't in service anymore, how about using its location?
And with the new Raspberry Pi Zero, the cost of making a self-driving car has been cut by 75%.
Given that they'll be testing in California, is there any chance those cars will be electric?
That's the problem, we don't how how shaken up they are!
Yes sir Mr. Johnson.
