If I could force one change on Linux, I would make the root uid random/settable per system.
It's too easy to fuckup having the uid be the default value of unused memory.
For example, when I was first learning Linux I setup a fax-to-web server with every step under its own user. Fax modem to raw image was FAXRCV, raw image to pages/thumbnails/ocr processing was FAXIMG, images/data to intranet site was FAXSRV; each only had access to the programs/paths needed for their job.
But I launched them all using a program that expected numeric user *numbers* not user *names*, and the default parsing of atoi for "FAX???" is 0, so it launched them all as root.
I figured that out on my own before too long, and the machine was never internet visible; but a zero is easier to slip into malicious code than something like a "GetSystemRootUID()" function call.
The public key isn't published until an address spends the money; the Quantum Computer would have to break it in under 10-20 minutes, and get it into a block first.
That's not gonna be possible for a VERY long time.
If you haven't tested the restore process, you have also failed.
After I got the system running well enough I had free time, I tested the restore of a $2 billion government financial database; turned out the backup was not actually backing up the database file, but a shadow file consisting of all zeros.
glad I found that out, and fixed it, before anything went wrong (nothing did on my watch anyway)

Fuck off Nazi.
Would doing this earlier have saved Radio Shack?
It would just move those markets overseas, unless all countries with markets did it at once.
Please, won't someone think of the soyboys!

"Oh yes, I thought of something," panted Ford.
Arthur looked up expectantly.
"But unfortunately," continued Ford, "it rather involved being on the other side of this airtight hatchway."
That's not how an economy works; the yacht business provided jobs, not burned the cash in a bonfire.
So 'Copypasta' is a cromulent word now?
The 'primary' system should be replaced with a run-off election; so the final vote is between 2.
I only use solid 24k gold rebar myself.

There is not enough information on the blockchain to crack a bitcoin wallet using Quantum methods until after funds have *already been spent*.

So is fraud; making things illegal won't stop criminals.
Kickstarter is a Donation platform, to support cool ideas.

How many voted against Donald, and not /for/ Hillary?
I voted for Clinton, but if the republicans had put up almost anyone but Trump, I would have voted for them.

If you're paid for your time, it's unethical.
if you're a 'contactor' you're paid to get the task completed.
When an election is so close that such minor tampering changes the outcome, it doesn't really matter who wins.
If you are a business owner, letting an employee run a keygen on company hardware is a literal nightmare.
The potential liability is bankrupting.

Possibly to generating large prime numbers for cryptography?
Or has everyone moved on to elliptic curves anyway?
