The plane would calmly throttle up and abort landing, the same way pilots would be trained to do? What do you even think you're saying here?

The history of air travel disasters is full of pilots who steadily held course until they crashed into the ground, or pulled the plane into a stall over and over again despite the autopilot repeatedly trying to take over and prevent a fatal situation.
Complaining about other people's open source projects seems to be what Slashdot posters do in order to make themselves feel important.
You are essentially blaming all security bugs ever on "incompetence". That's lazy management in the business world and it's stupid everywhere else. C has numerous and many traps. Building tools which make it impossible to make the "easy" mistakes is how we get to spend more time thinking about the actual hard ones.
You're completely full of it and actually have substantial accrued or inherited wealth? Because three houses is something the poor don't have.
Why should they? We can barely effect the political climate in Mongolia, and the alternative winds up with us wiping out their economy anyway.
Would +1 if I had modpoints.
The one where a space elevator on Mars could be made with regular high tensile strength steel like we have today?
Do you seriously believe that's what libertarians want or are you knowingly attacking a position that no person actually holds?
He's attacking the position they effectively hold behind all the barely formed BS which doesn't explain how they'll actually keep society running. "Don't worry charity will take care of..." what exactly? Because they certainly don't donate 20-40% of their income to charity at the moment.
If a computer can manage 1 wallet per coin then so can a forensic analysis program. The data is still there in the blockchain.
Conversely it might exhonerate you entirely because once its established you were driving you have an alibi for your movements the entire way.
Because SSH doesn't do UDP traffic, whereas a VPN makes your network endpoint definitely not anywhere near you.
I'm sure you can explain how, since it's so easy, without resorting to suggesting an campaign involving thousands of people and bribes on a scale while not being brought down by 1 honest poll worker.
Hi, I'm an electoral roll. Polling station staff check names off of me when people turn up to cast an anonymous vote. In this way, it quickly becomes apparent if a person claiming a particular name has voted multiple times, at multiple polling stations.
And nobody would be smart enough to think that maybe they should use the name of a dead person, or some name other than their own, when they cast their second, third, etc ballot?
Yes, you will catch people who are honest enough to use their own name every time they try to vote, but then, they aren't the ones that need to be caught.
It turns out the rate of this happening is so low as to be nearly non-existent.
Well, yes, I can believe that your strawman is truly a strawman. But how many times do people using multiple names vote? You're not looking for that, and you aren't stopping that.
In a mandatory voting system, every person has to vote. Which means any attempt at multiple voting will be caught when the real owner of a name turns up to vote.
Dead people aren't on electoral rolls - some might be, but are literally thousands of dead people still rotting in their homes before they're removed from rolls, enough to sway an election? No.
The point is not that it affects all people. The point is to make it burdensome enough to hit some fraction, and hopefully combined with other effects, have it disenfranchise a group you don't want to have to actually pay attention to.
Dynamically binding, you realize the magic. Statically binding, you see only the hierarchy.
