Except that Windows probably has just as many holes only you dont know about them because they aren't public or because Microsoft has decided not to invest the engineering resources to fix them or because Microsoft has fixed them in a patch but the actual security flaw is still unknown publicly.

An unprovable assertion.

That's like saying Perl or PHP can't have any remote code execution vulnerabilities, because you have to apache with mod_perl or mod_php turned on to exploit them.

When you load mod_cgi, your shell becomes a potential platform for remote exploits.

Where is Fox News in this article?

Seriously, where is it?

Some of you people have a anti-Fox News fetish, and it is crippling.

Then it is not a slippery slope.

Agreed but trying to prove you have a valid point by calling it a slippery slope is a terrible choice.
The law may be too broad but I have come to the conclusion that laws are a lot like wishes in DnD. If you do not close every loophole something terrible will happen.
If you make the law too broad then it can restrict perfectly safe and reasonable actions which is bad.
If you make the law too narrow and then it does provide the protection that is needed.

This law is designed to prevent film crews setting up a shoot in the middle of a national forest.
What you do not want is to prevent visitors from getting a snap of the wife and kids at Old Faithful.
You also have a middle ground of say a bunch of high school kids shooting a youtube video with sets and props.
Or a small independant film.

Unlike the EU that closes Nuclear plants when the science clearly shows they actually save lives.

3g HSPA+ is actually more than fast enough for most smartphone tasks for something like a box an a semi that tracks the location it is more than fast enough. For a device in a car that allows you to stream pandora and do remote function it is also more than good enough.
The key thing will be the cost of service.

> I had a Sonata CPU case with a pair of blinding blue LEDs

I have that same case, and the light aimed directly at my face when trying to sleep! A dab of purple nail polish dimmed it right down. :-)

When OLEDs get a little cheaper you'll find that some stupid manufacturer will make the entire front of the device an ultra-bright blue OLED "off" indicator sheet.

People have been playing with long-range RC for many years.

And there have been various autopilots, orientation tools, and FPV-style links for a long time. Greatly predating the kids-with-multirotors era.

No, but commercial aircraft in high traffic areas tend to have TCAS and similar to alert them to traffic, and if on a proper clearance won't run into anyone anyway.

Like I said, they are humans in the cockpit, and their failure to be perfect at see-and-avoid doesn't mean ATC is the only person keeping them apart.

No, he was wrong. The pilots are also there to keep planes from running into each other. If you are going to discount their presence because they are imperfect at it and think only ATC has that job, then you better discount ATC as well because they are not perfect, either.

Bullshit.

Not even barring inclement weather. The navigation aids were not impacted by this, only center. Departure and approach were still functional, too. Get an IFR clearance and fly it. You don't have to talk to a center to do that.

Believe it or not, there are other people who stop planes from running into "each other". They're called "pilots". Actual human beings who control the airplanes and where they go.

Of course they aren't perfect at keeping airplanes from running into each other. They're humans. (And computers aren't perfect at it either.) Just like the ATC humans aren't perfect at keeping minimum separation.
