My interest is in the secondary exploit. Is it a kernel thing, or is there some binary that's setuid and doesn't validate it's args properly, or just something which Apple left in there when they shouldn't have to make it easier to develop...
Interesting, so if I bought all the property surrounding your abode, I could build 50 story buildings up to my property lines and basically block out the sky for you and you'd be ok with it?
You really just want to take out the frontal lobe, and kill "yourself" without screwing up the autonomic systems that keep those organs in good shape... I suggest a captive-bolt gun like they use on cattle.
Flash based SSDs won't be able to out compete conventional hard drives at large storage, but what about others? HP is working on memristor based storage, devices which need to be nanoscale to function. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memristor
How many words does the average native english speaker know? Yes, but the "average native english speaker" probably includes lots of Americans. That'll bring down the average quite a bit. Try figuring the percent of "average native english speakers" who understand that life came to be as it is due to unguided evolution. Figure that number with and without Americans...
Your complaint about Objective-C syntax is funny, given that I much prefer it to C++, especially the ability to basically label individual args within a method call.
Not sure about your predisposition to addiction, but I'm sure that some people are susceptible. However, when my ex-wife's mother was dying, they figured that she had at most 2 months to live, and the doctors and hospice (!) were worried about her getting addicted. WFT?
No, because the bad PR from claiming that it's the drivers' fault their families are dead is even worse than the PR of a recall, which at least says that Toyota cares and is trying to fix the problem.
Well, for the first bit, the key is that drives shouldn't return 'written' status until it's on the platters (at least for the servers I work on) because it's unsafe. 'Write thru cacheing' as opposed to write-back cacheing. As soon as it's in memory, if you've got flash available and standby power caps, you could return 'safe', without having to wait for the platters.
Yeah, as for the other stuff, I didn't realize it was widely/cheaply available at this point, but that's the idea.
It's been obvious to me for a while that drive manufacturers are missing the boat with adding a flash backup area the size of their RAM cache and some caps to give it the ability to save the RAM to flash. This would allow you to return the 'written' status to the OS much faster, _and_ be safe in the event of a power failure.
For more points, add more flash and smarts and use the flash as a cache for 'hot' portions of the drive.
Genetics aren't required for evolution. They (Darwin & contemporaries) didn't know anything about genetics at the time the theory was developed. "Decent with modification" is the key phrase you're looking for. Genetics is one way of accomplishing that, but not necessarily the only way. Think about genetic algorithms.
Hate to break it to you, but you probably should have figured it out when 90% of VCRs blinked 12:00 endlessly.
Most users aren't tinkerers. Most users don't want to troubleshoot. That's the market Apple is shooting for. I understand that you aren't that market, but 90+% of the world is.
While my libertarian/small govt. streak agrees, in the age of the founding of the US, it was much more difficult for the activities of one state to affect another. Now with the aid of technology and increased industry, the lack of regulation on water or airborne pollution in one state can easily affect the other states.
The idea that your 'freedom to swing your fist ends at my nose' has extended as technology has enlarged "your" "fist".
You can have things like hardware decryption modules that store the key and will not reveal it, and that need the pin to unlock. Somewhere around here I've got a Java iButton that works like that...

No, diodes can make it so electricity can only "come in" to the device, not leave it.
not only did I screw up on that, but I typo'd 'lie' as 'like'!

Proof of the study. The data shows we're approaching deflation. http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/07/11/what-have-we-learned/

Another excursion in thruput vs latency...?

And if you are really paranoid, bring your own mac, since typing your password into another computer could be just as bad...

That's why I never told my mom until after the explosions, when I was asking her to call the fire department...

In all the photos, probably taken at least 12 hours later, if not days, not even an orange cone.
