(Ironically, I'm writing this on my Ubuntu laptop because Debian can't get over its non-free phobia long enough to install any functioning wifi/graphics drivers. But at least I managed to replace Unity.)
I know I'm less than careful about backups myself, and only push an incremental backup to cloud storage about once a week, but then again my laptop is not a single point of failure for the development of the largest operating system in the world.
(As for desktop machines, it's pretty trivial to set up a RAID-1 and not have to rely on periodic backups at all.)
1. It was an authentic, secret order. 2. Iran deliberately let that message get intercepted (either to discourage an attack or to goad the US into striking). 3. Some other nation planted the message (same as above, or to increase tensions between the US and Iran). 4. The US made it up to get domestic support (either for a strike against Syria, or a future war with Iran).
Oh, never mind, these instructions are intended to demonstrate how easy it is to make pirated versions with malware in them, thus discouraging people from downloading them.
Yeah, that's not going to work. The average user of cracked software is less security-conscious than a chipmunk. Appealing to their paranoia is a hopeless endeavor.

Conclusive evidence for it!
HOLY SHIT.
Mystery solved. I've been dealing with that weird crap forever without realizing what keys I accidentally hit.
And everyone knows that's no way to build and hold on to a 90% market share. :P

Unity for the desktop was introduced back in fucking 2011.
Just trying to make an honest livi---
wait
Hahaha.
Sure. The magical unicorn of freedom and democracy shut it all down. ;)
I am so reassured now.
Assuming 2500kg for the car, 0.0005kg per cards, $50000 for the car and $50 per card:
Not only a bandwidth of 68Tbps, but a mass of 12 metric tons (4.8 empty cars).
Also a market value of $0.96B, or the equivalent of 19,141 new cars, plus one car with a broken suspension.
1) Use a phone to simulate shooting someone: Get arrested
2) Buy a gun that can actually shoot someone: A-okay!
'merica.
*2.47 seconds. I somehow remembered it as 2.21 gigawatts.
That means a fully equipped DeLorean could vaporize you in 1.35 seconds of time travel.
As long as they were confident the backdoor remained unusable by anyone else, sure.
(And I swear I meant to type kernel back there.)

(come on! Vigenèry! Anyone? ...I'll see myself out.)
What a genius idea; it must have been thought up by a true vigenèry.
(Man, if someone wants to know their christmas presents badly enough to crack 1024-bit RSA, just let them.)

Won't these backdoors and malware exploits hurt his paying customers too?
It's called PGP / GnuPG.
It shocks me whenever I waste time on Slashdaaarrrrgh
Moon, Death Star, whichever.
Pretty much REAMDE.
(Apparently, Fox is going to adapt that as a TV series. Not sure if it'll be any good, but if it is, it'll probably get canceled early.)
(No, I'm not still bitter about Firefly, why.)
