You're not "embracing technology", you're embracing a goddamn consumer product. Geez.

Look at the pertinent CVEs related to (in particular) adobe flash, java, the usual suspects. I'm not doing your homework for you.

So you have never noticed malware being installed without you noticing, uh-huh. That's the kind of circular reasoning I'd expect self-proclaimed "power users", running Windows no less, to engage in, indeed.
Also, you don't understand seem to understand the pertinent attack vectors for shit.

No, I have seen some utterly substandard garbage code written by Ameriancs, so according to my anecdote it's probably from there.

Nice try, but we're already seeing it in consumer^Wautomotive-grade cars. You just don't notice it conciously because it ain't failing, ironically. Feel free to prove me wrong with anecdata

Sure we can, you just don't get to see it in consumer-grade software because it's too expensive.
Try aerospace, or military.

And how do you tell apart DDoS traffic from regular traffic? Furthermore, the DDoS traffic is already there, it has alread used its share of your bandwidth, congesting the link for 'regular traffic'

There's only so much the receiving end of a DDoS can do. And by 'only so much', I mean 'nothing'.

I prefer proper documentation over the "fun" of googling for fixed to be tried out randomly.

Came here to say this.

What?

It's PEBCAK, actually.
Tabs for indentation are a good thing, because people have different tastes wrt. indentation width (I use tabstop 8 and reading stuff indented with 4 or even 2 spaces is a PITA).
The problem is, people are doing it wrong, and insert tabs after non-tab characters. And will use tabs for line-continuation indentation, which leads to a messy look when viewed at something else than the tabstop the original author used. And then it ends in tears.

Wrong:
<TAB>int foo =<TAB>42;

Wrong:
<TAB><TAB>foobar(so, many, arguments, here,
<TAB><TAB><TAB><TAB>the, line, must,
<TAB><TAB><TAB><TAB>be, continued);

Correct (period represents space):
<TAB><TAB>foobar(so, many, arguments, here,
<TAB><TAB>....the, line, must,
<TAB><TAB>....be, continued);

Doing it as shown in the last example, adjusting the tabstop will provide a convenient way to adjust the indentation to personal preference without causing a mess.

mutt called, they want their slogan back

You do realize that mere days ago someone used the autopilot to crash an Airbus into a mountain, while also overriding the cockpit door locks? How is that not the "Boeing [idea] of automation?"

FTFY...
