More people die mining coal per annum than the number of people, in all of human history that have died due to nuclear energy.
Even if your numbers were right your logic isn't. You have to include all deaths related to nuclear energy for the next few hundred thousand years since the nuclear waste takes that long to be safe again.
"We need you to submit to this, to protect you from hackers. We can't discuss the issue as it's a trade secret and a threat to computing security. This is a critical venerability. But we can't tell your why. Just install this patch when it comes out and you'll be better. Trust us, we know what we're doing."
This is like the infamous openssh bug that urged everybody to upgrade to version 2 without giving a reason, even though many weren't vulnerable.
Then you create a 50 MB hidden volume, which is stored at the end of the partition. You put your top secret files in there, dismount it, and remount the main volume. The main volume still says "100 MB total, 75 MB free", and the free space still appears to be full of random bytes (since the hidden volume is encrypted), but they're different random bytes than they were at first.
So no, you can't tell just by looking at the mounted main volume that there's a hidden volume.
All you have to do is fill up the first volume. Either there won't fit enough into it or the second volume will be destroyed.
Hidden volumes, for one. A single image can have two volumes in it, with different passwords, encryption methods, etc., and you can't even tell the hidden one is there unless you know the key.
Won't the partitions be smaller than they should be? Since the feature is well known by now, it's easy to detect.
It's not, of course, because if we standardize on an open document format and a crippling bug is discovered in, say, OpenOffice, there are many other programs that exist or could be written implementing the same functionality.
This is not neccessarily true. Many/most projects use the same codebase or library for implementation of similar functionality, so they all might end up vulnerable to the same exploits. See zlib for an educating example. Bugs from the original implementation appeared in Linux kernel, web browsers, graphic programs and of cause compression and packaging utilities.
What does that mean to companies that sell stuff like USB flash drives or CF cards? They'll obviously have to pay royalties, of course, and that means a mass migration to a new filesystem to avoid such payments.
They could also just ship the cards unformated and leave it to the customer to chose an appropriate FS for their drive. This doesn't apply to cameras who can format the cards themself, though.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, Abiword and Gnumeric load very fast and seem to fly during use. KOffice is a touch slower than Abiword/Gnumeric but still light years ahead of Open Office.
Did you try to load the example spreadsheet from the article with gnumeric? It uses more memory than openoffice.org and it's slower. Saving the data and reopen it used more than 1.5GByte of memory before I killed the process.
They name the numbers in the picture. The diameter would be about a 100 m, and they talk only about a speed off 21000 km/h. The sail would already have a speed of about 9km/s when it is in low Earth orbit, so it wouldn't have to gain all of it from the mircrowace beam.
The programs packaged in a distribution are from different vendors, hence there's no monopoly here. Nobody would sue Microsoft if they would ship Apache and Mozilla with Windows.
Soo...let me see if I get this right. You attempted to download an operating system kernel from an untrusted p2p source? You should just be glad you didn't get another kind of backdoor action...
If you have the md5 or sha1 hash of the file/iso from the original source (validated by a gpg signature) that's perfectly save and helpes saving bandwidth on the original servers.

I would like to see you drive to the ISS, which is just 400 km "away".

How about:

This is to turn off access via uPnP.

Just get the md5 or sha1 hash from the original server and compare.
