A completely unrelated point is that stupid people outnumber geniuses (140+ IQ, not the pimple faces working at the "genius bar") by at least an order of magnitude as well. What do your numbers mean?
To be fair this is a Java exploit, and it's already been closed by Apple.
To be fair, most Windows exploits have also been Java/Flash/(Insert 3rd party vendor here) exploits too. It's been a long time since a remote Windows OS vulnerability has been seen. XP service pack 2, perhaps? But then again Windows has never made claims about being inherently "more" secure, either.
Doesn't it bother anyone that by having the choice of what to see and when, you simply reinforce your own interests/prejudices
Doesn't it bother you that you prefer to be reinforced by OTHER people's prejudices and interests? Oh wait, yeah, television networks are 100% unbiased and never ever push an agenda.
And you would be quite wrong about this, and pretty much everything else that follows. While I am sure not every government employee is a psychopath, the aggregate result of thousands of government employees, all of which have a sense of entitlement because of their thankless "sacrifice", and all of whom who believe they know better than the common man because, after all, they are the government; this aggregate cannot help but produce an entity that dehumanizes, compels and destroys people.
If we want to get back to having police serve and protect
The police do serve and protect. Only you are under the misguided assumption that it's YOU they serve and protect. No, the police exist to serve and protect government, and they are one of the fingers on the hand of power that said government will use to crush anyone and everyone that poses an inconvenience. The world has ALWAYS been this way. To government you, the individual, have absolutely no value. You only exist to fill statistics, fill government coffers, absorb enemy ammunition, shoot a rifle or fill a grave. You don't believe me? Put government in a tight situation in a natural disaster or losing a war, and you will see just how quickly you will be stripped of all your worldly posessions and sent to the front (to protect the government), or shot on the spot. Your purpose is to do what you are told. And once in a while you will be used and made an example of, criminal, not because government cares about your victims, but because government needs people to BELIEVE that they care.
Of course not everyone can see this. Most will think it's too cynical a view, and they would rather believe in that ideal paternal figure that exists to comfort and care about its people. But where have we seen THAT before? People are always looking for a return the comfort of youth when mommy and daddy took care of all the problems, so they believe in gods and governments and all sorts of comfortable illusions. Reality is different.
As a sign of protest they should make sure to use 10% of the electricity they currently use for the rest of their lives. Oh wait what undue hardship and all that? Well then put up and shut up, or turn off your juice.
And usually it's too dark or some other trick of illumination always makes the blue wire look just like a different wire that you're not supposed to cut.
No courts are required. The airlines have already complied - it happens fast when you threaten to shoot down their planes. Don't you remember this flight? That is the whole point of what is happening - the US government now thinks it can side-step that whole pesky "legal system" by killing people with drones, or enforcing arbitrary "regulations" as if they were laws because they are done overseas. Scary, but people refuse to wake up.
That is highly subjective. One man's trash is another man's treasure. The fact that a given domain would exists at all means that someone took the time to set it up, so it obviously has value to at least one person. I'm stretching a point but isn't that the basic underlying argument behind censorship anyway? Don't look at this because it's garbage because I say it is.
4th amendment
"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."
Can some one point to the airport exclusion? Or where congress amended the constitution to allow this?
They simply changed the interpretation of "unreasonable". After all you may be a terrorist, citizen.
More people in the Precheck program means the need for fewer TSA agents to get you through cheaper metal detectors.
You have it exactly backwards. In order for the TSA to raise more funds re applications to "Precheck", all they have to do is ensure that the "regular" line becomes unbearable by hiring less staff. Fun to have a monopoly, isn't it?

No it means every single Mac is infected :)
Just grab a magnet and stick the pill to the case sandwich style. Diffusion will do the rest. Bonus points if you do this right over the hard drive.

Is it just wrong if I laugh a little?

And you are stealing air because you are not paying for it.
I assume you are an US citizen?

You obviously have never owned a new (port merger) Seagate hard drive.
How about "Apple has to comply with the laws of the countries they do business in"?
go masturbate with your gun because it obviously makes you an important person.
I would love to see a US court enforce this.

Which is why most lawmakers don't even bother reading legislation anymore.

The industry for the most part has solved this problem by simply not feeding people any more.
the choice is yours by etiquette
So either a book or a label huh? But I already cut those labels off, despite the warning that told me not to.
Book him Danno!
V-1s and V-2s lead to the Apollo program and got Neill on the Moon.
They also led to ICBM's and hellfire missiles.
Be thankful he isn't trying to compete with the NSA and CIA. If he was, the TV would listen and watch while it killed your neighbor.
Fixed that for you...
