Of course, that is the point: permission to examine and modify is directly setting preconditions to instantly enhance code examined. And if examination with sufficient eyeballs really takes place, process goes just as doctor prescribed. It does not, however, mean, that code escapes possibilities to hack completely - it is too complicated structure to expect that, unless looking at it with idealism of topic.

The reality is, that nobody ever should have gave badge of non-hackable software to products of any development model. For thousands and millions of software lines, and multitude of situations regarding mutual relations of its parts, multiplied by possible input fluctuations additionally depending on execution environment, you have imperfect software somewhere somehow, rather than perfect one. Constant float of patches for live products of any model is reality. What we can talk about, are certain and numerous benefits, that open source has over proprietary one. If confidence in idealism is shaken, this is only for good, because reality was certainly far from being ideal.

Just substitute "general public" here with "widespread notion", and try to focus in discussion on essential message of the post.

Describes to caller activities of his team of about 90 troopers on territory of Ukraine at 10AM of August 20th, with about 80 killed on spot.
For those, who still can't see war going on: nothing new - you are supposed to continue your way.

No, it is not.

How come, essential part of vast and insistant public manifestations got skipped, playing like these folks of Ukraine did not even took part in forming further course, while somebody somewhere did? Maidan can have own negative sides, but it is no doubt, that people were primary exhibitors of will for changes, as they had too much of wrongs accumulated on state side. They have been very firm at standing in the cold and demonstrating their will, demanding changes.

This is not correct. Commitments and warranties were set by the Russian Federation, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the United States of America.

And now one of the parties has blatantly annexed one chunk of territory, and sets "dispute" arena for several others.

Well, he rather established himself after getting chance of power, than got it because of achievements. Boy, did he stick to that! And, of course, nobody orchestrates corruption and sins better, than KGB does.

Yes, guys find their ways to sneak information where they are, when possible. As said before, Soldier Mothers committee has collected their data this way. You intentionally skip considering this known source of data, and that shows pretty well what you are after right here. OTOH, if you go to military trainings, and your commandment is taking task of isolating from phones seriously, you will have really hard time to avoid leaving it where demanded to leave, and not passing with it where you are not supposed to. Try sticking a phone up your ass before giving that particular example, besides.

That's my last reply here.

I am off from reading you thoroughly further on, as I see too little traction with reality, as delivered per my perception. As a product of Soviet history period, Baltic countries are stuffed with Russian spoken population, you must be aware. It is anytime Russia wants to pull strings back inventive ways and cause havoc pretty close to that, it achieved in Ukraine. Where, I remember, after Crimea annexing completed, pretty loud urges for South-East were heard: why are you asleep, why you wait, why you don't act. People were living very lightly disturbed lives yet back then, were going to work and back home to family as usual. Until they succeeded urging. I remember pictures of those first blocking posts, low-numbered people of lowest intelligence gathering around them and screaming something they thought, they have to, or were told they have. It was still wasn't full-on civil war with the weapons on the level, only whole countries are armored with. But then there appeared those heavy arms and "separatists" speaking in recognizable Leningrad dialect. And it took off. What government had to do? Fight back, of course - only choice. Speaking about "contemporary economic peace", or such - Ukraine already lost good chunk of its land illegitimate ways, and is fighting back mighty neighbor to not allow further progress of territorial integrity losses. Thus, admit, you are just one nonsense delivering type with a sympathy to Putin, now operating from Germany. That's it.

Have you seen pictures from battlefields? Did you completely miss military in them? Signs of destruction from military activities? Can you differ separatist with weapons and machines from Russian soldier dressed somewhat more loosely as separatist with weapons and machines? All recognition signs are purposefully removed and replaced (white circles, bands on arms, legs), before entering area.

According to the committee of soldier mothers of Russia, their data (about their sons) show 10.000 - 15.000 soldiers being involved, not a 1000. Please, google it.

These, and their documents, are promptly collected and stored in safe yet at Rostov base.

Why you emphasize something unimportant and rather distracting as "gallery dealer and art-manager"? I don't get your reading habits. It is about conversation with the Putin surrounding insider, who presents answers to more interesting aspects of the matter, pretty soundly threading what is happening and what expectations are. Can't get how it turns into "told him everything he knew"

So, you didn't see no satellite images with troops moving? Or they did not impress you? Are you able in general to envision what those borders are, and surrounding situation is? Where are you lacking tunnels? There are stationary and moving troops on both sides of border. There are activities going on around all the time. There is no fence nor anything to limit moving trough forests or fields, being at some point several kilometers deep in the other country, being met there immediately by those, whom to support you came. Have you looked at the map, that separatists concentrate along the border with Russia? Putin himself explained, when caught, that his troopers "got somewhat lost" (in Ukraine by coincidence). There is desire of Russia to keep military activities as sporadic and atomic, as to prevent from stating that they are indeed involved in war. Did you know, key figures of separatists were actually Russian citizen, some removed by Russia just recently to cleanup that mess, and fled back, of course? If you still did not get, that you are observing principally new kind of hybrid war, what were you observing? You missed Crimea action, for some reason put it into tight other box? Only wait for undeniable proof now? Then mister Putin has got your balls very well, since he is acting much more dispersed, than you can imagine or notice. Or are you only playing fool, actually being one of his plot?

Sorry to be rude, but you talk playful, yet cheap. NATO disbanded, when our countries here have it as only realistic hope to find protection from KGB-legacy politicians, reviving friendships-as-usual? You are at a comfortable distance from that mad creature, most likely you never even got whole sense of that KGB-as-the-core architecture in the past. I see only one good cure for you - being German (supposedly), if you are ashamed of Hitler and heritage of related madness, you may succeed being ashamed of that mister smartass of today.

- these are superficial, made up statements, they are not even direct reflections of reality events, they are positions. Russia's official position is lie - so what do you do with that?!
