This may be true, but is ultimately just hypothetical speculation, since we have no examples from history of species on earth that destroyed themselves.
"Could" is a pretty strong word. As Lee goes into some depth on exactly how much of a record breaking effort it would have taken just to get Atlantis off the ground in time to save Columbia, and how many corners would have to be not only cut but removed with a chainsaw, it would be more accurate to say that the plan proposed by the CAIB shows that even if the Launch Director had pointed to Columbia as it was launching and said "Hey, there are some missing tiles there. We need to get Atlantis ready right now", they still wouldn't have been able to do it.
The thing to take away from this is not that NASA could have saved Columbia but didn't, but that they changed the plan for every other shuttle launch so that they would always have a second launch vehicle on standby. It's about learning from mistakes, not making them worse.
Or if they hire actual software engineers, it would install and as pointer were released it would start pointing to the new install.*
We do know how to do live patching of devices.
It will never happen. That would raise the BOM for each vehicle by at least $0.20, possibly as much as $0.40 for redundant memory which would only ever be used for a few minutes out of the car's lifetime. Do you think that car manufacturers are made of money?
Right. It's all something that the environmentalists cooked up over the past few weeks. It's not as though California has had a hundred year history of water wars and the snow in the Sierras hasn't been dry for the past ten years, those radical environmentalists are just hiding it somewhere.
Forgive me if I'm wrong, but wasn't OpenWrt based on this same firmware? Or is this bug with the VxWorks-based firmware that Linksys later switched to?
OpenWRT is a Linux distribution designed for routers. It often uses kernel modules provided by manufacturers such as Linksys, but is not a clone of the entire system.
That's right. Installing an OpenWRT release made for a D-Link DIR 825 on a Linksys E3200 would be a bad thing. So would installing the official D-Link firmware.
If both manufacturers were to produce updates their own hardware, instead of kicking a device to the curb and then never releasing an update again until they receive a court order requiring them to, then this wouldn't be a problem.
In fact, it was even fixed for devices which are no longer in production with no need for the original vendor to even still be in business. Open source is funny that way.
Just have the bouncer politely inform all guests that they can't take pictures and need to keep their hands off the girls. If being polite doesn't work, they can be less polite until they get a response.
But only if the flood was followed by accelerated continental drift and ended up dropping the museum into the Mariana Trench and burying it underneath a pile of fossils.

I thought that the HTC One already had that market cornered.
This may be true, but is ultimately just hypothetical speculation, since we have no examples from history of species on earth that destroyed themselves.
Noted paleontologist Gary Larson thinks otherwise.
If you wear four of them, it protects you four times as much.

there's only a single test subject
His name wouldn't happen to be Gilbert Gilgamesh Hamilton, would it?
Huh, I'm a United Statsian born and raised, and I've never used a duck to power my automobile.
No, no, no, no, no, this sucker's electrical, but I need waterfowl to generate the 1.21 gigawatts of electricity I need.
None of these methods of password storage are resistant to the twelve dollar wrench attack.
Are you also glad that nobody else saw it before him?

Not on that airline. You can tell by their name that they don't go all the way.
Looks like a prime example of Nominative Determinism
Surely you could find a more authoritative source than that.
Is this the phone that shall not be named? The only phones i know of are jolla and mozilla os.
Wait, you meant openmoko? I like what they're trying to accomplish, but ...pass.
You're right. There isn't a Linux based phone with any kind of install base whatsoever.
*cough cough*

Never can trust those guys.

OpenWRT is a Linux distribution designed for routers. It often uses kernel modules provided by manufacturers such as Linksys, but is not a clone of the entire system.
You could also follow the first link in the summary, which describes the bug and has this to say:
"Only routers running stock firmware are vulnerable. OpenWRT is not vulnerable to this issue."
You may want to read that word again.
That's right. Installing an OpenWRT release made for a D-Link DIR 825 on a Linksys E3200 would be a bad thing. So would installing the official D-Link firmware.

What is the problem with UPnp??
All devices inside the local network are considered "trusted"
I really think you just answered your own question there.
In fact, it was even fixed for devices which are no longer in production with no need for the original vendor to even still be in business. Open source is funny that way.
And yet whenever a red light lasts too long, Americans immediately blame their President.
They're a funny people.
I find the idea of an infinite improbability drive to be very unlikely...
But it's finitely unlikely. Perhaps there's a solution in there somewhere. Somebody get me a hot cup of tea.

Just a conspiracy of cartographers, then?
But only if the flood was followed by accelerated continental drift and ended up dropping the museum into the Mariana Trench and burying it underneath a pile of fossils.
Rock me I'm-a-danish.
We're waiting for a meteor to wipe that one out.
