And yet they are very much humans and capable of making errors. Where do you think all those bug fixes comes from? If dev's would be such super humans you describe them to be, there would be no need for bug fixes ever, since their code would be perfect from start. Personally i have newer understood why Linus stopped having separate stable with bug fixes only time to time.

Its humans writing a code, humans are not perfect.. If this tools actually works as advertised, it should make fine addition to us not so perfect coders toolbox. Somehow i would have expected that compiler would warn you about it going to leave piece of code out. But i guess that's shows how little i code actually.

Personally i do not accept default option where Cannonical gets info even on local searches. So i don't use regular Ubuntu. I got couple older laptops that runs light version of Ubuntu.Thank god no mandatory warrant-less searches there. Im all for Cannonical to gain ad-revenue if they need it. But not at expence of them knowing what i search in my local repositories. I do coding sometimes and most of that is done either case by case basis or just for myself. I also have documents that im contractually obliged to keep secret. Do i want someone else to know what i search locally? Hell no. What i don't understand why don't they just ask during a installing system: Would you like to help us spy on you and gain even more advertisement revenue by letting us see everything you search on your computer, over internet or locally?

Sure makes me wonder what the heck has government of England got it self involved into... Must be something really bad if PM is making threats to news outlets. Personally i'm glad Snowden decided to reveal what e knows. Now we all get to know exactly how much NSA has been spying on us all. Long live the queen, down the PM.

Sad day indeed when politics try to dictate scientific truth. My thumps up for scientist that refuses to be puppet and sell the truth.

In some countries this would constitute as entrapment. And made collected evidence void for any legal purpose. Somehow im sure internet will soon reveal this persons identity, address, etc... Since he has nothing to hide, right?

Sounds like feds are going to have uphill battle in court trying to prove all these beyond reasonable dought. After all in court its not what they say, but what they can actually prove. Lets just hope some innocent people docent come forward and claim those bitcoing to be stolen by feds from them... Would be embarrashing, not to mention blow feds case out of water...

This just goes to show, badboys might find way in at any time. So rest of us needs to stay vigilant of out system. System that was presumed secure yesterday, may have hole in it that was discovered today...

Wonder if that's patentable since there's clearly prior art on nature then...

Do i dear to say it: Orwell was optimist

Sadly most people that install forum software of any type, just don't follow security bulletins, or read install instructions properly anyways. Damn computer amateurs...

Just goes to show that unless you read the code yourself or reverse engineer it yourself, you just cant be sure whats there. Now they found one. Waiting more news in other manufacturer and models in 3... 2... 1...

I use mine for php/python development platform, very nice, very easy to move with me if needed. Just little sad broadcom is not exactly opensource and those chips are locked down pretty tight even on datasheet side.

Nvidia still dosent get it.. Reminds me of now famous Torvalds quote from video where he send hes regards to Nvidia..

It might be Arduino compatible but not price wise. With all those things sounds like expensive.
