Looks like he's rediscovered chaos theory - simple input intp simple equations give complex outputs; he thinks he can find the simple input which generates the universe from a chaos producing equation.

It's called QA.
This is another advantage that non-free software has over free software (the first being that they can afford the lawyers to handled the claims). QA doesn't find all the bugs, nothing can, but it finds a lot. I wouldn't be surprised that if a company can demonstrate to a court that it has a rigourous QA program in place then liability might be reduced (Nb. I totally unfamiliar with product liability). I would be more sympathetic to a company which can prove it tried as hard as it could to find bugs than one which just released a product and let the users find them (as the article suggests happens).
With "traditional" filesharing, you can argue that if you download Christina whats-her-name's latest album then you're not going to buy it and therefore Miss Aguilera is losing out on the 15 cents that the RIAA will begrudgingly pay her.
But the record companies are never going to release Christina Aguilera mixed with The Strokes, so who is losing anything? For there to be a theft, there has to be a loss.

Then you are stuck with buggy and insecure software whose manufacturer has gone bankrupt. Are you really better off in this situation?

Perhaps this will lead to greater adoption of digital signing?

Why is that Intel's GUID problems were such a big deal and this barely gets a shrug?
MAC Guids are only 3 digits long for a reason.
no court in America would accept
During a time of war, no court would accept the complaint from the enemy that would be needed to initiate a court case.
No flash bulbs or microscopes would be able to penetrate

Scapals can penetrate though. I hope the badguys use anesthetic
Baikonur looks like an enormous complex. Which of the dozens of buildings was it?
