I mean, if anyone knows about viruses, it'd be Microsoft.
Caring is another matter. Given their long history of "lightning fast" responses to security problems, I'm not overwhelmed with confidence in their commitment.
You and what crane? The batteries make up a significant percentage of the weight of the car. Plus the question of physical access and high-current electrical connections.
You're pretty un-American yourself. You forgot to mention that the incompatible plugs must be heavily patented to avoid the possibility of adapters and covered with safety stickers saying stuff like "DO NOT PUT IN BABY'S MOUTH".
The only viable theory we could come up with was that an interrupt (an external hardware stimulus such as a timer going off) had occurred at just the right microsecond within the execution of Stolper's software. Furthermore, we theorized, the operating system (the equivalent of Windows on the flight computer) had a bug that caused it to misremember whether an arithmetic carry had occurred just before the interrupt. Although highly unlikely, it was the only credible explanation we could come up with. Because this was a new version of the operating system built for Pathfinder, still not yet fully tested itself, this theory had some credibility.
So they speculate that code they wrote had an interrupt routine that was not bracketed with PUSHF/POPF instructions!!! Which is like Assembly 101.
An interesting point. In this day and age, if we landed on a planet that had pigs and cows, we might "study their culture", or "bring them democracy", but we damn sure wouldn't be allowed to kill and eat them.
Of course, "stealing confidential data" (from a non-government source), where the confidentiality is self-defined by the owner, is exactly the kind of DMCA type violation we regularly decry here. What you (and TFA) are suggesting is that the act of acquiring the data is a crime in and of itself, rather than the criminal use of the data.
Meanwhile, the poor Babel fish, by effectively removing all barriers to communication between different races and cultures, has caused more and bloodier wars than anything else in the history of creation.
How many different ways do you suppose there are to say "infidel"?
What kind of a lame-ass unit-of-measure is "power a Starbucks"???? Give it to us in football fields, Libraries of Congress, or circle the earth N times.
If the company earns as much per visitor from ads on typo sites as it reportedly does from ads alongside search results, it could potentially earn $497 million a year in revenue from typo domains, they conclude.

I wish I had some mod points left. Unfortunately, there's no +1 PureGenius, and the scores only go up to five, while you clearly deserve an eleven.

No. Yes.
Yes. Yes they are.

My mother used to call that "locking the barn door after the horse is stolen".
Certainly not. This is Steve Jobs we're talking about. They meant to say "transubstantiation".
A cron job didn't run.

ME TOO!!!
That's a good point. I personally would like to see how Jimi Hendrix would cover Steve Vai or Stevie Ray Vaughan ;)
You're confusing speciation, which requires isolation, with evolution, which does not.
Perhaps we could reconfigure the main deflector dish to emit a huge tachyon pulse...
Slashdotters!! If you had a goddam girlfriend, you'd know what "not random and not predictable" meant.
I think they've seen the one where he gathers the natives, jumps up onto a boulder and shouts "Everything you know is wrong!!" a few too many times...

That's it man, we're toast!
Game over man, game over!
It was exactly the "act of attempting it is a crime itself" aspect of the reverse engineering provisions that I was referring to.

I'd wager that their solution is way more CPU-intensive than GPU-intensive. Or maybe I'm just paranoid.

No logical leaps here:

You know, in Japan, parents tell their children that chicken "tastes just like squid".
