The primary difference is that theft implies you're taking something away, when the most likely reality is that they are just continuing to get what they were never going to get (for whatever reason - because you can, because you disagree with the drm, whatever)
Yes, both are wrong. But there are vastly different levels of wrong, and in this case there's not a small difference in level. You should at least acknowledge that, even if you don't believe it excuses the behavior.
Well, unless you're one of those crazies who thinks jaywalkers deserve prison sentences - but I don't think you are.
And yes, it does indeed suck a whole bag of dicks. The page title is not sarcasm. 99% of what is actually on my webserver is not globally visible and indexing does not work. It's a glorified dropbox. Sure, I used to have a blog - but it went away when I got sick of fighting with security vulnerabilities and realized I didn't really have much to say on it. I put things on it, then link to them. See? That's you, right there!
Hmm, good point - but you don't really have that control in a conventional car either do you? It's not like you have a fuel cut lever under the seat or anything. (I think gasoline engines required the ignition circuit to function but diesels could runaway or self-run all on their own, as long as fuel was being supplied. Not positive - I'm not a mechanic.)
There really should be a hardware kill available somewhere. Disengages the batteries and fuel pump, etc.
"We highlight certain sites that are so central to the activities of a particular society that they almost single-handedly prevent the development of a legitimate online music marketplace," the RIAA said in a statement penned by EVP Neil Turkewitz.
Fuck off and die in a fire. You do not have the right to dictate changes to a society so that it fits your business model better.
It's an ECU, not a desktop. All those latencies you're used to are OK when you're browsing the internet or programming the Next Big Thing, but they are not acceptable when you're adjusting fuel ratios, timing detonations, responding to impact sensors etc.
You clearly have no idea what you're on about, or why real-time operating systems are real things that have actual niche use.
1. On mine at least, they made modifications so that brake input will override throttle input. I don't know if this is mechanical, or software. 2. You can either hold the power button in for a few seconds, or give it three quick taps. This will shut down the "hybrid system" as they call it. 3. The parking brake (note my use of 'parking' not 'emergency') does a good job at holding the car still, but it sucks terribly at stopping a moving vehicle. This is not unique to this car, either. That said it also sucks at holding it still if you give it any throttle input - but that's not unique to this car either. 4. You have no direct transmission control. It's an electronic jog stick dressed up as a shift lever. Remember, this is a CVT and not a traditional manual or automatic transmission.
On my hybrid, the shift (just like the gas pedal) is just an electronic control. You can masturbate the stick all you want, it won't actually shift unless the computer decides it likes your input.
That said, "pulling the plug" is always an option so long as one recalls that doing so makes it much harder to control. On a Prius, you can hold the power button for a few seconds - or if you're in a rush, three quick taps will cut it as well. The manual refers to this as shutting down the "hybrid system" so I would imagine other controls/systems remain active but the power train dies.
It's interesting to me that NASA was looking at it - though I can certainly understand why they would be interested and why they might have some useful insight.
I don't see why updates for the navigation, entertainment (or anything that's not on the powertrain for that matter) should have anything to do with the ECU...

Well, I'll certainly agree to that.

I'm not really sure what network and OS security has to do with application security?
95% of the codebase is the secret bug-generator. They just made sure not to pull down that external repository.
Is that what they implemented in the recent Star Trek movies?

I think we can all agree that there's no need for an NSA-specific backdoor in that piece of crap...
You're reading it wrong.
You might take your own advice. Perfectly valid, if you read in the missing "a" before "Shutdown" that is commonly dropped in headlines.
Please don't dislike us because of these skidmarks - there's plenty of other reasons you might dislike us for that we actually have control over.
If you'll kindly read the article, you'll find out that doesn't actually seem to matter to these clowns.
Vaguely. I seem to remember lots of violence being the result, incidentally.
That would mean anything if I, or the people being discussed, had anything to do with Congress or H1Bs.

Why would an amalgamation of anonymous people from all over the world care about a specific country's public?

I have a 2013 Prius.

Just what do you call an IPO that isn't actually the initial public offering? SPO?
Imagine judging Natalie Portman by that work alone?
I have, as I've not seen her in any other role nor will I ever do so. I will avoid said movies.
Go ahead and delete system32 while you're at it. It's your computer - pay no attention to those naysayers who try to talk you down from deleting it.
If by cameo, you mean "dies in a fire" then I'd agree.
