Well it shifts the target a bit. Instead of infecting the compiler you'd try to infect one of the core OS components (presumably in the kernel) and have it detect when those were being compiled and insert itself. Probably also infect a

> should have to talk through properly secured APIs I don't follow what you mean by this. The API endpoints that a company provides ought to be secured properly. In practice they might or might not be but obviously they ought to be.

Doesn't seem like a valid analogy to me. Access to an API isn't the same thing as intentionally accessing a paid service for free. If someone writes an app that somehow bypasses needing a Netflix account and lets you stream video

It isn't true for iOS devices, perhaps. I refuse to run an OS that supports such nonsense. Right now a custom Android rom is sufficient. In the future I expect I'll be moving to one of the Linux distros once they have better suppo

Yes, people can and will write malicious programs. Those will sometimes take the form of third party clients for a service. That is not and will never be a valid argument against them being allowed to exist. Monopolies are not ok. Abusive b

The vast majority of file formats do not do such things. Such a concern is (typically) out of scope for that layer. Even most data transmission components don't use forward correcting codes. They typically just have error detection.

Those are just versions of the standard. What people would be comparing is the performance of particular implementations. It's entirely possible that a less mature implementation would have problems.

I live in a similar climate and have never once had this problem in the winter. Something is wrong if this is happening to you.

I don't think it's the temperature delta in this case, at least not between the room and outside. I suspect internal equilibration of the unit when power cycled and also energy transfer design capacity on the indoor side of the un

Yes, in the US there is quite a bit of precedent for this. See for example common carriers.

I doubt they were objecting to the speech itself as much as the system that had apparently been set up to facilitate it. Or in other words, you say "university policies produce punishment or non-punishment" and it seems to me it w

The problem is that the Wayland fans have a tendency (at least I feel) to significantly misrepresent things in their favor. Statements like "oh that's actually more efficient on Wayland". No, Wayland is incapable of the sorts

I'd prefer a much smaller range but being able to request as many as I want via DHCP (or equivalent mechanism). That way it wouldn't be contiguous so I wouldn't feel as much of a need to use a VPN for privacy. As it is, what&

You have to be careful about that, not everyone hands out /64. They can be as small as /128 and I've seen some providers give out as large as /48.

Unique character has nothing to do with it. They may have names but they're still livestock - raised en masse to be sold. Pets don't just have names, they're akin to family members. Livestock don't hang out on the couch
