The question is whether you feel good enough about that probability to be held liable if the malicious code was hidden good enough. Also, some cases might be obvious on Windows PCs, but I don't think that's necessarily the case wi

What I'm saying is that it's very simple to inspect a car and make sure it's not going to spontaneously catch fire while parked. You can get a reliable answer in a day from a mechanic. You can't get a reliable answer on

Very much not the same thing. Your car can't interact with the cars of others without physical contact, and when it does interact, via a crash or otherwise, it would be very obvious to anyone. Even if you were constantly watching the t

You can't expect everyone, kids and elderly included, to be able to identify when their machine is running a rootkit from the result of exploiting a 0-day, for example. People also have a very limited view on what's happening on t

Artificial light doesn't feel the same. I imagine those configurable shades work based on time like an alarm; that's a good idea.

I also think that in writing the bottleneck is in how fast and accurate your hand can move. I would agree that English is faster than Spanish because Spanish is more verbose.

I super agree with everything, with the probable exception of Seatbelts. Is that even a standard with a concern for compatibility? I'm not sure if I can plug the belt of one car to the seat of another. Would be cool, I guess. If my sea

The article mentions that at the time they said that, the probability of collision wasn't that high. So, it looks totally OK to say they didn't have plans to move it, then, since it means they didn't believe there really was

No, it's not. The longer a standard lasts the better. 8 years is really short. I can still connect new earphones to the jack of my CD player from 20 years ago, or my even older mini-cassette player. That's a good standard. What ki

If there's ever a need for a GX12-to-MicroUSB or GX12-to-USB-A cable, then sure, but I doubt it, and the poster specifically said it was only for decoration.

Where you hear that? Deprecated in favor of what other tool? As far as I know, there's no other tool that lets you specify files with arbitrary server-side code, like the following example: scp -T server:'$(ls -t * | head -1)&
