Vulnerabilities are easier to find in open code, but they are also easier to fix.
In open code, both blackhat and whitehat hackers will be looking at the code, with closed source code whitehats cannot look but blackhats often have illegal access to closed source code.
And yes, closed source vendors will often just try to hide vulnerabilities - but that simply doesn't work, they will be found anyway. Just look at the number of security advisories and exploits in closed source software.
Not to mention unsupported closed source, where there's no way to fix the vulnerabilities - leaving users with a useless product.
And of course, most security centric products out there (e.g. firewalls) are based on open source code, either bsd or linux.
Ofcourse the other architecture in the embedded space is MIPS, and MIPS64 support has been around for a long long time... The move to 64bit was a perfect opportunity for MIPS to expand their market share as MIPS64 was tried and tested while ARM64 was completely new.
Flying an old TU-95 bomber is hardly a threat, it's more of a nuisance call... Fly one close to NATO airspace and see how they respond. In an actual war, these aircraft wouldn't be used against an enemy that has any realistic air to air combat capability as they'd be easily shot down. They are similar to the B52, which the US deployed in afghanistan mainly because the taliban had no viable anti-aircraft weapons.
Yes the free wifi is often over congested, it will typically just be whatever generic connection (Cable, dsl etc) was available in the area coupled with a generic wifi ap... Such a setup is fine for a couple of users at home, but when you have a restaurant full of people with smartphones and a handful of people loitering outside this equipment no longer really cuts it. Most peoples phones will auto connect and start checking their mail and receiving push notifications etc.
Most people in developed countries already have an internet connection, and even if you don't at home there is free wifi all over the place these days... Even homeless people have internet access these days: http://www.wired.com/2013/09/b...
Exactly, provide a login when you send the tv licence paperwork... Anyone who has a valid tv license also has a login, and can use it from anywhere. You could then allow foreign subscription too, after all why shouldn't someone outside the uk be able to watch bbc content if they're paying the same fee as anyone else?
Many brits live abroad, and often still want to watch bbc content but there is often no legal way for them to do so.
Not just fandango, anyone is only going to watch movies they expect to like and theoretically people shouldn't be reviewing movies they haven't watched... So really it's only paid movie critics who are ever going to be watching movies they don't expect to like.
Cannabis use isn't always illegal, and even when it is, its generally considered a very low severity crime that might get you a slap on the wrist... Law enforcement departments are generally underfunded, so rounding up thousands of users to give them a slap on the wrist for cannabis use would be a terribly poor use of their limited resources.
On the other hand, they will keep record of the fact that you are a cannabis user incase that information proves useful in the future... For instance they may suspect you of a far more serious crime but don't have enough evidence to get a search warrant however they do have enough evidence to get a search warrant to look for cannabis and might just happen to discover evidence of other crimes while looking for cannabis in your house.
Facebook at least used to (still does?) require you to claim to be >13 when you sign up, and at the very least it asks for your age so you've effectively already opted in to being tracked at that point. I imagine most other sites also ask for age etc when you sign up, so they have done their due diligence by asking and it's down to the end user if they've lied.
People older than 13 will set their age to be lower in order to avoid tracking, while those younger than 13 will set their age higher in order to access age restricted content.
Well history shows that such a strategy works, after all preying on people's fear and blaming the bogeyman worked for hitler, so why wouldn't it work for trump too?
There is however a huge difference between what someone says in order to get elected, and what they actually do after they have been elected.
But having to recompile programs is a major problem when 99% of those programs don't come with source code... That's why Linux has always had far more success on non x86 architectures than windows.
NT was actually developed for the Intel i860, and ported to MIPS R4000...
And yes while it *DID* support those platforms at one point, it currently does not. All those non x86 ports are dead aside from ARM, which is intentionally crippled and not a full port.
And for windows phone this is a viable option, there are plenty of other phones widely available and you wont be inconvenienced because you dont have a windows phone.
For desktop windows this isn't the case, alternatives are either not widely known (linux) or start at a much higher price point (apple), and if you are using one of the alternative you will often encounter inconvenience in the form of proprietary applications, files or third parties that force you towards using windows.
I do something similar, but using wildcard subdomains... And i dont use the company name, but a code (where i keep a list of the codes related to what they were used for)... I have caught a few companies out this way, although i dont have anything registered with microsoft or adobe.
an important tool used by cellular carriers to prevent customers from jumping ship.
Handset locks don't stop anything, it is contract law which ensures people pay for the remainder of their contract terms... Handset locks just decrease the usefulness and resale value of the handset, while creating an artificial grey market in unlocking methods.
I intentionally avoid any operator who supplies locked handsets.
Linux may run on x86, but it also runs on MIPS, PPC, ARM etc which Windows generally does not and most networking equipment does not use x86 cpus.
It's more likely that MS have realised there is no long term future in selling software, and that cloud hosting is the future due to being an ongoing revenue stream... And that's a market where linux has a heavy presence.
Exactly, start by teaching them english... english is widely spoken in india, so they will have far more freedom to travel outside of their local area, not to mention communicate with people outside of india and read educational literature / documentation.
Zoneminder is not aimed at non technical people.. The people running it know better than to expose it to the Internet in a default state. People buying off the shelf systems often don't know any better and there are thousands of such systems easily found through google.
Zoneminder is open enough that the user can easily harden it themselves, the off the shelf systems often are not. Hiding insecure systems behind a firewall is a kludge, not a proper fix.
The point is that we also have access to linux source code, so we're all on a level playing field. Closed source code is only available to select groups, and is also in the hands of blackhats. Legitimate security researchers have no access to it.

I'd pick open over closed any day...
The fact that such greedy and damaging actions are being carried out by high profile jews is one of the biggest contributors towards anti semitism.
Hitler didn't so much incite people against the jews, as take advantage of existing resentment towards them to push his own agenda.

Get them Chromebooks, Google handle pretty much all the maintenance , and they are more than adequate for most people's day to day use...
Most of the subscriber funded tv networks also show advertisements... I don't like the idea of paying twice for the same thing.

What else would you expose to the internet? Most firewalls and routers these days run linux too.
That's the whole point, legitimate security researchers don't want to break the law...
