There are already things that can be done to dramatically reduce the likelihood of buffer overflows as well as things like numeric (math) overflows and underflows.
Sure. Stop using C.
It is just that it is more work (and time) for the developers to do this.
My point is only that any semi-competent company is going to have a policy of "never throw away data", especially if it's customer changeable.
This is only valid when data storage is inexpensive enough for you to to allocate magnetic media to store said data.
While the NSA has (probably) been doing this for years, and Wal-Mart and MasterCard/Visa for about 15 years, it's only been broadly feasible since the introduction of inexpensive 100GB hard drives. Even now, we only keep tape archives for 7 years.
Note that this whole thread, plus 500GB, and, this year, 1TB drives, means the absolute end of privacy. I estimate that a 42U rack can fit 240 drives. By the end of this year, that means that a company will fit 240TB in 4.75 cu ft.
But not, and here's the key point, from 200 miles away.
Yeah, but I'd still rather have a gun shooting 3 rounds/min all day,
10 rounds/day is just too "boutique" and specialized (a high KE penetrator round good only for destroying bunkers) rather than the "tactical" nature of putting lots of steel on armor and softer targets.
If you like electronic music, are you just supposed to give it up when you reach a certain age?
Yes. Grow up, for $DEITY's sake. (Note that I have the same disdain for Rock And Rollers who still Rock And Roll past age 35.)
The Baby Boomer focus on Youth as the be-all and end-all lead them to do all sorts of stupid things to "maintain their youth", when they should be getting jobs (that does not imply becoming wage slave!), having families and dressing like adults instead of large 20 year olds.
True, there's not even the three minutes of video promised in the article. at 1:56 it you could say that it's closer to 3 than to 0. Which is a pretty bad argument.
There are 2 videos, the 2 minute video and a 3 minute video.
In the text of the article, there's a link to the article containing the 3 minute video.
Yes, it was and I installed it because of how horribly outdated Flash 7 was, and it was pre-alpha quality.
Adobe released multiple beta versions of F9. (That's the beauty of getting it thru your package manager: no need to constantly recheck the Adobe web site...)
Raves are where 16yo girls go to pop E and lose their inhibitions.
I know plenty of people older than that who go.
Perverts.
It's good exercise, keeps you young.
Lots of things are good exercise and keep you young, but don't involve Ecstasy-popping teenage girls. Ronald Reagan chopped wood and rode horses well into his 70s.
Or are "old people" (50 is not very old) just supposed to lead quiet boring lives?
That's an invalid leap of logic from my assertion.
It's more a matter of being willing to take the risk and put yourself out there than any sort of inborn talent.
I totally disagree.
Yelling at your parents because they smoke, and going to raves when you are in your 50s are, to me, definite indications of a disturbed human being. Heck, like most serious he's probably got Aspergers Syndrome.
This is particularly sobering when you realize that the largest Camelback pack has a 100-oz bladder (3 liters), and especially sobering to me because when I go out on long rides, I will drink TWO of those bladders....
But you perspired most of that water out, so your electrolyte balance didn't change as much as you think.

Only if you use C.
Do you have a drivers license?

Minimized amount of malware installed thru IE?
Well, we can't be too Luddite-ish if we use computers for recreational purposes...
Nowhere in the article or the post you are replying to does it say that Cassini is traveling at 30,000km/s. TFA specifically says:
How is a Slashdot neo-Luddite different from a regular Luddite?
Them, and non-x86 Linux users.
There are so few *BSD users that we won't even mention them...
Another example of your narrow-mindedness in taking for granted that R&R is the only music.
I'm sure that low-dose cocaine would make anyone feel well for a little while.
But since you've been using it for 70 years, it must not be that effective at curing the problem...

That's why I was so distressed when I read "10 rounds per day". Chemical guns can put a heck of a lot more steel on target than that.
Amen, brother!! Flashblock is a wonderful bit of software which allows me to view only those few Flash videos I want to watch.
How's gnash coming along?
With an ad-blocker and Flash, you get the "best" of both worlds: You Tube *and* (relatively) ad-less surfing.
Brilliant!!

Someone who wants 72 nubile rewards in Paradise?
To heck with that fancy stuff! A couple of inches of asbestos will do the trick quite nicely, and is a lot more durable than aerogel...
DEC might be gone, but companies still support DLT hardware.
Or AMD did/does not have the manufacturing capacity to take on both Dell and Apple.
