Looks like the tribbles^W chickens have come home to roost.

Sure, but there are a few differences. For one, a manned plane will have at least one person (the pilot) with a serious interest in it not being one of those that crashes and kills people. Even if his employer is willing to risk it, he has the final say and it's his ass on the line.

The little hobbyist craft are small and light weight, There is a serious limit to the amount of damage they might cause. Not so much for a 50 pound commercial drone.

Yes, it is always unreasonable because it happens without the owner being found guilty in a court of law. In fact, it happens without any sort of due process.

MS has a vbery long history of stabbing 'partners' in the back.

No true Scotsman?

Wrong. No matter what, a Republican or a Democrat will be elected. The difference between the GOP and DNC on mass surveillance is exactly 0.

Yes, I'll vote 3d party, but I know the score.

I hope the guy who made the picture isn't in charge. I accidentally clicked on the article. That image nearly sent me in a coma.

But you don't have to count through all of them. Only until you get to outlook, which is a very long way from the end of the list.

Now if you want to get EVERY useful program from that set which could exist - then you'll have to test every number in the list, and that would take forever even for this reduced subset.
But for just finding one of them - you only have to count until you find that ONE.

Even so the moment you put that upper bound on it you make it possible to use faster algorythms than counting to do the finding with - you could optimize it by using a better data type than a list for example, and using fuzzy logic to search the numbers for patterns you would expect to find in something that's useful (like the string representation of the word "email") to narrow down the search space further.

It would still not be nearly as efficient as doing it the programming way - but that's not the point, the point is merely that it's theoretically possible to do - as proof that programming is still fundamentally mathematics. Just very, very efficient mathematics that make use of quite a bit of intuition that's hard to replicate in generator algorythms.

Actually - they very much DO give a fuck. They want their elite positions protected and enhanced, and the best way to do that is to suppress everybody else.
