Perhaps "largest" isn't the right word. Perhaps "furthest reaching" is better.
The linux kernel. It's in your desktops, in your web servers, in your cell phones, in your cars, in your televisions, in your game systems, in your embedded devices... if it were to suddenly go away, the landscape of modern technology would drastically change.
Sure, Linus is harsh with his words. So is a drill instructor. I would say that both have equally important jobs. Sure, when developing the kernel, nobody's life is at stake.... But the future of technology is.
Not only that, but the SPEED at which they are fixed. When heartbleed was discovered, there was a patch available later that day. Shellshock was also patched very quickly. In the case of Windows flaws, you usually have to wait until the next patch cycle (once a MONTH). Sometimes Microsoft knows about a flaw and simply DOESN'T patch it.
That move seems just really childish for a government. Couldn't the government just take down the DNS entries of those sites, rather than install malware?
Also, this will only help to legitimize the pro-democracy movement. It makes more sense that this was done by script kiddies with an agenda.
Apple is a major offender of installing stuff that automatically runs on startup... On Windows machines. They were also one of the first companies to do this circa 1995. When you installed Quicktime, it would automatically run a stub in the system tray in case you wanted to launch quicktime. Now, every damn application does that.
Also, just look at any Windows machine that has iTunes installed on it and you will undoubtedly see a bunch of other stuff like:
Bonjour
Safari
iPod service
Apple makes great software.... For apple computers, but they really know how to screw up Windows.
The ecosystem is like that because the telephone carriers NEEDED to institute some kind of protection. If they didn't, imagine the horror that modern communications would be. Every 12 year old kid would be cloning the cell phones of senators and start making crank calls to the Premiere of China. It would be anarchy.
HIPAA is all about PROTECTING your information. Blame your local management for ignoring HIPAA requirements and choosing a cheaper, less secure alternative.
The communicators, phasers, and tricorders are all inductively charged. They just didn't show that in the show because.... It's not interesting. They also didn't show anyone using the toilet, but believe me, if there are over 1000 people on that ship, I'm sure there is at least one there. (BTW: it's just off the bridge to starboard)
One of my favorites is a "mechanical drafting table" from "A Door Into Summer". He really went overboard on that, and it turns out that CAD is way more efficient (and easier to edit).

...Unless Chinese schooling starts at age 1. Then a seventh grader would be 7 years old.
If you want to know why companies do the things that they do, it's not because of health regulations.... It's because of money.
How about this: The ice truck workers are paid hourly. They would rather get paid for an all-day episode of unloading ice rather than just 2-3 hours.
Or maybe they got too many complaints about melted ice from customers who demanded a refund. It's the money, I'm sure of it.
The real question is: Why would there be a message from "Ikegami Co." when Donkey Kong was clearly made by Nintendo?
Maybe we should call it "cold-day-in-hell fusion".
I hereby award you the Nobel Prize in skepticism.

Or late 70's tweed overcoats: There is nothing more useless than a lock with a voiceprint.

You are in a science lab of twisty little passages, all alike.
It is dark. You could be eaten by a grue.
If you think the word "derpers" is "Fedspeak", then you will probably also be excluded from hiring at the FBI.
Don't do it! He'll hack your brain!
In addition, now he can call Comcast all day and continue to complain, because they can only get him fired if he's employed.
Or more realistically, a trash-burning steam-powered garbage truck. The more trash it collects, the more fuel it has.
Did you decide to leave college on your own, or did you get expelled?
One of those may have a severe negative effect on how you feel about yourself, and how others view you.
But yet the IP address in the Krebs PDF file shows a 192.168.x.x address....
Then they should sue Internet Explorer.
Have you seen some of the camera work in porn? I think they already do.

This sounds like it would be better categorized as "illegal wiretapping".
What kind of idiot would approve of someone stalking them?
