In other words, if your phone is lost, you want it to automatically wipe all information on it that would make it possible for somebody to return it to you.
If I am dependent on a tricked-up one-shot in a Custard Stand to defend myself, I'll probably order vanilla. With one shot of chocolate sauce, but go light on the sauce.
"If I own drain cleaner, is my toddler more or less likely to be killed by ingesting it?"
You see, though, I can unclog my drains and take care to keep the drain cleaner in a secured cabinet. I don't have to throw up my hands in dismay and just accept that I have to live with a clogged drain I can't clear.
The cellphone gun only holds two bullets. The kind of person who wants to carry it likely isn't capable of actually firing it well enough to pose you much risk with only two shots. As long as you don't let them get very close to you.
The hard part about what Compaq did was that as you said, IBM published the BIOS source code in commented 8086 assembly language. So many, many of the people capable of and interested in writing that level of code were already 'contaminated' because they'd already read IBM's source code.
IBM published a lot of source code back then in their manuals. The BIOS extension on the EGA card is also published, along with the BIOS extension on the Hard Drive controller. They were really open about docs for the PC. They even published the schematic diagrams for the floppy drive and the CRT displays.
Try cherry picking some comments from/.,BoingBoing or Metafilter for some balance. Plenty of ignorance to go around.
To be fair, there aren't as many trolls stirring in hyperbolic over-the-top idiocy, sheerly to discredit the forums, on the leftist forums. There's a whole cadre of spammers on forums like Breitbarts, posing as parody-rightists. It's sort of a sport for them, but also a very directed political activity to poison the forums.
It's only fair to recognize that Pol Pot inherited political power in a country that the US/CIA had been carpet bombing for years. The entire population had moved into the urban centers protected by the US government. When the US evacuated and abandoned Cambodia, all food and economic aid was cut off to the cities; the whole agricultural base had been destroyed. Mother Theresa could have assumed political power under similar conditions and it still would have been a humanitarian disaster.
This doesn't excuse the strict doctrinaire Stalinist way that the Khmer Rouge acted, but it's important to recognize the problem that what was dumped into their lap as the result of the US bombing campaign and foreign policy in general. Henry Kissinger has to bear a significant amount of the blame for how things ended up in Cambodia.
That only works because you righties pretend that Hitler was a leftie when he actually sent lefties like communists and trade unionists to the gas chambers.
Stalin also sent lefties and trade unionists to the firing squads.
Historically communists were virulently opposed to socialists, anarchists, and especially to communists of a different stripe, i.e. Trotskyites,
It doesn't really matter what label you use. The problem people are those who 'have it all figured out and simply have a programme to apply by government force' to solve the big problems of modern society.
Free public WiFi assigns you an arbitrary IP address. I guess we could all stab away at random IP addresses and maybe reach our friend, if they're in range of a WiFi access point....
If we all volunteer to kick in a little to the ransom gang, is it possible we could spread it to all HR people worldwide? A world full of hamstrung HR people would allow us to all get direct-hire jobs.
It's a serious mistake to label the threat 'Islam.'
The terrorists are an extreme branch of Islam. They embrace an antiquated literal interpretation of the Koran. Most Muslims are not like them.
There are a huge number of Muslims in the world, and if you 'draw the line' by grouping them with the human-garbage terrorists of ISIS and Al Quida, you're pushing a lot of people who can and will be our allies over to the other side. The problems in the Islamic world won't be solved by killing them all or forcing them all to convert to another religion. We need their help to fix things.

Sometimes the debris is so tightly wound around the axle that it's better just to cut it off and discard it.
Anybody who isn't sure is one of the fake trolls.
As long as the 'case' goes away and we don't have to read about it every day in the MSM, we have all won.
Except Apple's marketing people.
Despite the fact that Timothy Cook said that Apple will follow the law once settled in the courts what it actually is.
In other words, Tim Cook wanted to be able to pay his lawyers to make law.
Well, somebody has taken that cookie away from him, now.

Why not just toss it off a bridge into the ocean?
It looks like an interesting game, and it looks like it might have a broad base of interested customers.
That is based on what I saw when I loaded the game's page on Steam. Two of the games Steam says are "More like this" are:
Stardew Valley
and
Fallout 4.
Those are rather dissimilar games, for anybody who watches the gaming scene.

You're over a decade late from ever having a chance to be sent to Gitmo. They're trying to empty it out at this point.
The people who are good at that kind of thing are busy spamming comment threads on sites like Breitbart and DailyKos.
Owning a private jet makes a corporation evil??
Golly.
I remember the Objective C toolchain was included on a version of Slackware I used to run in 1995. Maybe Google should switch to Objective C.

Admit that you sputtered while you typed all that and you had to wipe the spittle off your keyboard and scren afterwards.

Everybody always remembers the Kent State massacre because it was white middle class students.
The Jackson State massacre happened ten days later, but it was at a Black college, where they were protesting racism, not the Vietnam War.
Many people don't remember or even know about Jackson State.

She's a black American woman, right?
A concert pianist.
A former Secretary of State.
Or do I have the wrong Rice in mind?

Bin Laden's family is in construction/logistics. Kind of a Saudi version of Haliburton.
