The members may perish but Monty Python itself is a remarkable show that has influenced later shows and will therefore live on long after the members playing have perished.
Not everyone likes their humor, and few likes everything, but they still mark a turning point in the history of humor shows - venturing into the "forbidden" part of humor so far and strong that it becomes absurd and it's no longer possible to take them seriously.
Just ask - what's more annoying - a "Not Found" message or a redirection to something that the search engine used thought you was asking for. Misspell Goats and you will get Goatse.
"No child left behind" is the expression that George W Bush was using to direct the education system. Essentially that means that classes need to slow down to the pace of the slowest pupil making all knives in the box blunt and useless.
It is interesting to realize that in 2001 (before 9/11) George W Bush did meet the Social Democratic party leader and then prime minister Göran Persson who earlier was heading the schooling department. The slogan "No child left behind" does match very well with the standpoint that the Social Democratic party has - that the class shall be slowed to the pace of the slowest pupil and that no grades shall be awarded until very late in the schooling.
The following quote is suitable when it comes to education:

"Drones" have been around since decades, just that they weren't called that before. Those flying radio controlled toys are just the same thing. The main difference is that today cameras are small, light and good enough to be carried by them.
The question is rather if there will be a massive OTA bricking of phones through this. Imagine this as a weapon in patent cases - already sold devices will be bricked by the opponent - with or without court order.
It's just a question of how many of them that are discovered and how serious they are.
In this case it was a simple mistake, and had serious effects. In other cases the bugs may be caused not by simple mistakes but a very complex chain of mistakes and still just result in a small side-effect.
As I see it - the best way to avoid simple mistakes like missing to set a character limit is to restrict use of languages where this check isn't built into the language itself. C and C++ is good for some coding, but that code has to be strictly reviewed and cross-checked to ensure that it's secure. Other languages has a lower risk of simple mistakes because they don't allow the user to address data outside the boundaries of a declared variable, or they do extend the allocation of a variable when needed.
So looking into languages like Ada, Java, C# and Matlab/Simulink (or the clone Scilab) should be on the list of languages to consider. Even Basic would be worth to consider. Or if you want to be a bit more esoteric Erlang is not a bad choice.
Just be aware that almost every programming language has a basic platform written in C, so it's important to make sure that the platform doesn't have any problems.
I can file my taxes in two minutes on the Swedish version of the IRS on the web without the need of any special software unless you count a web browser as special.
The IRS can get back the money by making sure that Microsoft and the executives there pay their taxes correctly. To some extent the IRS sets their own rules.
So we are heading into the world of Max Headroom at an alarming pace. We are almost there, Detroit is there already. The merge of Comcast and Time Warner Cable will become Network XXIII.
If it looks like a duck and walks like a duck it's hard to tell anything else.
This specimen is in any case quite interesting because it do show that the general body layout was already defined that long ago. It also brings up the question of what did exist before this creature.

The alternative would be to code in backdoors in the solution.
However most of the content protection actions are often futile, there will always be a hacker somewhere that cracks the lock one way or another.
I agree.

Now the parties can call for bricking of unwanted competition phones - or let hackers do the deed.
One week all Samsung phones in service are bricked, the next all Apple phones, the loop will continue until only old Nokia 3310 phones are left.
The question is rather if there will be a massive OTA bricking of phones through this. Imagine this as a weapon in patent cases - already sold devices will be bricked by the opponent - with or without court order.

There are too many versions and variants of the Microsoft operating system.
I think that's the explanation why they see failures in the patches, they can't keep track of all permutations that exists.
And still not posting as an AC.
But they seem to recognize inheritance of debt.
I thought that inherited debt was something that was used in medieval times and in some third world countries to effectively create slavery.
Be aware that even the root CA certificates can be at risk right now, and that can really cause problems.
Doesn't mean that I can't do anything else.

Drought in California and the midwest, floodings elsewhere.
But the overall cause is that we are too many on this planet. At least 99% should go. Time to start working on that stargate.
