... of the trillions of endless assertions on the internet which neither create any nor meet any equal and opposite force, since they have no causal effect on reality. To resolve this discrepancy of pent-up psychodimensional energy, the universe has willed into existence such a drive tapping into a transdimensional energy portal releasing the pent-up energy of those assertions, thereby preventing a massive buildup which would eventually cause such a huge catastrophic explosion so as to render reality as we know it utterly destroyed.
"the whole system should be able to land if you have one turboreactor fail. So I’m able to stabilize it even if I lost one engine and we had enough thrust to get down and land. If one turboreactor fails it’s fine, because we have four turboreactors, and we can fly with three. And inside the remote we have three different Wi-Fi channels, plus we have three sensors. Everything is threefold, and they speak together, so in case one fails, the two also know which one failed."
Exactly who is responsible for this kind of software bug?
The coder who wrote the code? The functional spec writer? The QA tester who didn't catch it? The test scenario scripter? The manager who oversaw the development process? The QA manager? The stakeholder who OK'd the move to production? The project manager who co-ordinated the project? The CTO of the company who funded the effort?
Or should they all be criminally liable, thus diluting the responsibility of any one person so that no one person is actually liable?
There would be no way to know if there were any additional functions embedded in those devices.
It took 20 years for Snowden to reveal the NSA's illegal surveillance, and the previously almost-unimaginable bounds to which they were willing to go to monitor US civilians.

It stops some autoplays, but many still play.

Ah, the Universe.

This is a ploy to make copyrights eternal, by assigning authorship to "electronic persons", which can be repaired and upgraded indefinitely.
Mod parent up please, insightful

Thanks for that scoop /. !!
If the OS was updated to IOS 9 then there's this fun hack...
Maybe Apple could try a web search to find other vulnerabilities.
Just a thought.
you could queue them instead

Just saying,

All I want to do is code all day long.
All you want me to do is code all day long.
Then, you bombard me with people walking by, talking around me, interupting me, IM'ing me, it never ends...
And I get NOTHING done... do you get it?
No, you never will. You manage by interupting me...
Though that estimate might be a little high...
"Just before leaving public office in 2001, Gore reported assets of less than $2 million; today, his wealth is estimated at $100 million."
But then again, it could be right on the money:
"Mr. Gore is poised to become the world’s first “carbon billionaire,” profiteering from government policies he supports that would direct billions of dollars to the business ventures he has invested in."
Warning about global warming is a good business to be in it seems...
