Bill Gates is far more intelligent than you,
That needs a big 'citation needed' next to it, but:
and has already seen a working plant, which is why he is investing on a technology that is going to displace oil and outright kill renewables.
You don't understand risk analysis. He's investing a very small proportion of his wealth in something that may have massive returns. The probability of said returns may be small, but that doesn't make it a bad investment if the potential payoffs are huge, as long as you can afford to take the loss if it doesn't pan out. Most people with his money will invest a few millions in a few fringe ideas, because it only takes one to pay off to more than make up for your investment. The majority of his portfolio will be in relatively safe investments with a close-to-guaranteed return, a bit will be in risky venture.
spoof the IP address of your target (...) it proves that the DNS protocol itself is beyond repair
No, it proves that the network you are connected to is braindead because it still allows IP spoofing.
And that EVERY company on the net is susceptible to something like that because unlimited bandwidth does not exist.
It used to be really easy to knock someone off the Internet. It's not so easy anymore. For some of the really big targets, being able to muster the bandwidth alone would be an impressive demonstration of power. Keeping them offline for more than a few seconds while their Anti-DDoS countermeasures deploy would be something that few players smaller than a nation state level can pull off.
MS and Sony have a security that matches the opaqueness of an erotic dancer's dress
Not really. I hate them as much as most people with three working brain cells, but they've both done quite a lot about security. It's just not enough and - like every company - they make decisions to not invest in some security measures because the ROI simply isn't there.
Nonsense. On their gaming systems you are unlikely to find any data that the companies would consider valuable. And 10+ years of experience show that "oops, we leaked customer data" isn't really a game-changer.
But cries from customers can be. Denying them the joy of their freshly gifted gaming console can be very powerful. It's not the nice way, definitely not, but it makes headlines.
I doubt it's going to change anything, because customers are too used to computers not working. That is the real damage that 30 years of Microsoft dominance have done to the world.
If I didn't know that, I'd give back my nerd credentials.
But there's a difference between making a prequel movie and a story that is set before. The Hobbit tried too hard to get as much from the LOTR movies into it as possible. For example, WTF is Legolas doing in the movie? He's not even mentioned in the book.
Teaching algorithms separately from data structures is one of the biggest flaws in modern computer science education. It's impossible to reason sensibly about one without the other.
Trouble is you need roughly APS-C sized sensors to make 50MP resolution worthwhile. Any smaller and quantum effects will make it too noisy. Not to mention the size you'd want for a good enough lens to deliver that much detail.
