I remember reading about new coating or material for knifes used in machines which can now dispense cucumbers, so this is a solved problem, but I can't find that article. Other problems with dispensing will be solved too.
Scattering data on a hard drive is normal. Have you heard about defragmenting? Downloading is just a matter of mapping out those data. Like in data-recovery. It's doable even if you lose your filesystem table.
My parents have a dog, which LOVES cucumbers. It even looks like he likes them more than meat. When planted cucmbers are ripe, this dog looks under leaves and eats one every time he is near garden.
This whole "who prevents cargo from being stolen" argument is moot in my opinion. If a someone wants to steal cargo, they can threaten driver with a gun. Maybe he will be able to draw a gun soon enough, maybe not. If cargo is expensive enough, he may even be killed. Also only in US drivers can have a gun. In europe there is also many trucks. What happens when driver hears something strange at night? He just pretend he's still asleep so that thieves don't threaten him. Cargo is insured and his employer will prefer to have alive driver.
As an aside IMHO that article the other day asking about where is decent SciFi nowadays seemed to miss the point that for a good show character interactions and growth are what makes it good and that technology by itself is merely a prop.
In MY humble opinion, character interactions and growth makes a good space opera (SyFy), not SciFi.
Then one day a programmer notices the dependence on the uninitialized value, which would clearly produce a severe failure if fed the correct inputs, and he thinks "surely this hasn't been running for thirty years deployed on hundreds of thousands of nodes, and never triggered a fatal anomaly" and yet there it is.
So strong, that you are willing to go to jail for a few hours, at the very least.
Nope, now you can be accused of terrorism and held for a month just as an example or slapped with a nice fine of several thousand dollars for costs of detainment.
Yes. You have this effect in double slit experiment, there are places where waves cancel out and you have dark place. The problem is that it's almost impossible to generate an inverse waveform from source other than the one which generated your photon. Typically it's done by splitting one waveform.
On the other hand I post very rarely and sometimes I have mod points even when I don't post. Maybe somehow slashdot also sends mod points to wrong users?

It helped that you had VERY limited set of possible configurations.
I'm not an american, fifth amendment doesn't apply to me. Also terrorism trumps all amendments. Maybe it's the law, but what use has your lawyer when you can't see him when you're in gitmo and nobody want's to even admit that you are held there?
Yeah, then service provider gets secret order that it has to provide data about user AND continue sending those emails. What, can't they ask that? Who will prevent them when you can't even talk to your lawyer about this....
Agreed. Since when did some old guys ignorant opinion become news for nerds, especially when such opinions flow almost 24/7 in all major newspaper opinion sections...
It's good to know your enemy. I WANT to know when someone wants to take my series of tubes away.
And no animated ads. I use adblock, but there are several sites which make unobtrusive relevant ads. I've unblocked them, and even sometimes I find something interesting enough to buy.

Then you can just shoot or intercept any unregistered drone. Time to get my drone hunting license...

For NSA, if you use encryption, you ARE a suspect.

Smugglers are probably wringing their hands in anticipation, but hell, every advancement seems to have some tangential consequence.
Already done. http://arstechnica.com/tech-po... http://www.usatoday.com/story/...
Too late. We already did it voluntary.
Even better: Return from the Stars.

And then it breaks simultaneously in the whole world.

What can we say about NSA when such a guy can go in, take many secrets and publish them while successfully escaping wrath of The President?

what would you even charge them with?
Terrorism and obstruction of justice.

I don't believe in life before coffee.
There is no reason to send your email credentials to RIM

Too many people overreacted on this one. You did too. Congratulations.

Ok, NOW I know how this could happen: http://thedailywtf.com/Articles/Stargate-Code-of-the-Replicators.aspx. Looks like JavaScript is the future.
