This is counting angels on the head of a pin. There's no evidence whatsoever that open source gets audited at all. The fact that OpenSSL, the software with the most need to be secure, was broken for many years is evidence that it probably isn't.
The fact that *IF* you had the expertise and the time and reason to audit it if you wanted to is hypothetical and irrelevant if no one ever does.
So is open source, in a surprising number of cases.
And in a surprising number of cases it's done as a side project that no one cares about beyond it performing the specific task that it's used for by the paid person and their organisation.
Haven't seen the details on how they caught this one yet, but he did try to blackmail them. Always difficult to come up with a scheme to collect blackmail money and negotiate it without giving yourself away.
Usually is certainly not the case. Internet fraud is a steady and profitable business for many, many people, with almost no chance of getting caught.
Yes, he does indeed have a point about credit card numbers. In this day and age we shouldn't have to pass an unchanging credit card number and ccv number to a merchant. Information which allows them to make multiple transactions without any further approval.
Rather we should be able to pass a one off number for a particular transaction, a number that identifies both people in the transaction and the amount. It'll be a long number, but that's OK we all have the technology in our pockets for it to be generated and sent without us concerning ourselves with what the number is.
Given that banks could do this, but don't, they do as an industry bear some of the responsibility.
Possibly it would kill Amazon's one click purchasing scheme and the like. But it would be worth it.
When for good or bad, the police reaction is proportional to the scale and severity of the crime. A burglary affects one household. This potentially affected hundreds of thousands of people.
As the other poster says, you don't understand how the English language works. By specifying iOS9, it means things that aren't in other version of iOS.
And you really have something lacking in your life to get so upset about what you thought someone said about a phone. Go outside, take a walk, smell the flowers, say hello to someone.
So turn off WiFi Assist. Personally I get unlimited data for 20 UKP a month ($30), so WiFi Assist is a brilliant feature no matter what the data is that I'm accessing.
The guy is the programmer of the iStumbler network monitoring app. An app of the type where the UI only makes sense to the programmer that created it. And for which the documentation does nothing to explain to someone who doesn't already understand it.
I'm on the PHBs side on this one. I'm not surprised Apple pushed him out.
WiFi Assist is the best feature of iOS9 for me. iStumbler is something I once downloaded, and regretted the time it took to look it over.
What it says about this particular viewer is that I'm taking the piss out of the OP. In reality the BBC is remarkably unbiased - within the limits of British political viewpoints. Or at least biased to the centre - where centre means a point somewhere between the two major parties.
For sure, to anyone who's politics are more left than Labour or more right than the Conservatives would see the BBC is biased. Which is pretty much your point.
Indeed the way the Tory government is putting the pressure on the BBC to be more right wing is appalling. The Labour government also interfered, although in their case the worst example was simply a criticism of populist programming, in particular "Fame Academy".
Stop inventing your own narratives. There has been precisely zero people arguing against drones here based on social justice arguments.
Precious few arguing against drones at all.
If there's one thing they can't stand, it's change.
You seem to have confused SJWs with conservatives. SJWs positively want change. They just don't want regressive changes. Drones aren't a regressive thing. It's conservatives that don't like change on principle; because they fear it.
Indeed. They've bolted the device to the front of a military looking gun body, to imply that works like a gun. But in reality it'll be leaking jamming radio in most directions and many frequencies.
That would rather assume that the cops could follow the drone. The drone having complete freedom of movement and the cops generally having to stick to roads. Or at least be hampered by walls and fences.
If the operator is in the same open park as the cops, then yes, he'll be caught. But in an urban environment, not necessarily. And probably not it he actually intends mischief.
That's hardly a demonstration of good. The guy was very carefully leading the drone around, with very slow movements. Any quick movements would clearly have lost the drone.

Left wing? The British Tory party? Don't talk shit. That says more about you than them.
As a Brit I'd like to apologise for the current British government. They are a bunch of right-wing authoritarian fuck-wits.
None of the videos that I can see fail when used on the highway, which is the only place Tesla Autopilot is supposed to be used.

No it's not their implication at all. They have held their hands up to not knowing which parts of the data was encrypted and which wasn't.
It's other businesses that have called for more government (i.e. police) action on cyber crime. And quite rightly too.
I did say it. That's why both of us are telling you the same thing about the same mistake you made.
Is English not your first language?
? Who said he did more than I do? You have no idea what I do.
And no, it's not shit like iStumbler is.

When it flips to WiFi assist, the WiFi symbol in the status bar changes to 4G, 3G, LTE or whatever cellular network is being used.
AFAIK, it's not a matter of what percentage goes via WiFi and what percentage goes via cellular. It's more of a switch from one to the other.
It's like driving [at 150mph] with the top down on the autobahn.
Have you ever tried it? Then shut the fuck up.

Well rather less so since they sacked Jeremy Clarkson.
Then you can receive that part of the BBC for which you pay through your cable provider.
In the UK we pay 145.50 GBP per year for the BBC. Thats about $225. Your cable provider won't be paying that on your behalf for the BBC World channel.
The BBC are indeed biased towards the Tory party. But it would be worse if the UK didn't have a public sector broadcaster. Look at Fox News!
