People have already stolen bitcoin keys with a similar attack, so encryption keys are a definite possibility.

People have stolen bitcoin keys with a similar attack in the past. Bitcoin keys are just another form of encryption key. There are serious risks here.

Um, yes? But the diseases we vaccinate against aren't 100% lethal or 100% sterilizing.

It's not chance that determines whether someone who does catch the disease will survive as a reproductive individual. It's the overall strength of the immune system and fitness of the individual.
As long as some catch and survive a disease, evolution selects for the genes those individuals have versus those that die, become sterile or never catch the disease. Take away the risk of catching the disease, and those genes no longer have an advantage. With vaccination, those with weaker immune systems have an increased chance of surviving until reproduction, and as a result, the next generation will, on average, have weaker immune systems than if the culling had taken place.

If your father would have died from measles as a child had he caught it, due to him having a weak immune system, and he survived because he or those around him got vaccinated, chances are higher for you to have a weak immune system than the child of someone from an area without vaccinations. And if you have a weaker immune system, the risk of allergies is higher.
Of course, your father might have had a strong immune system and laughed off measles. But the reason we do vaccinate is that not everybody does. There will be lives saved, or we wouldn't do it. Even if just some survive that otherwise wouldn't have, this will have an impact on the next generation.

We choose to save lives now, and accept the genetic costs of the weakest not being culled from the herd. This isn't something that is disputed. It's a moral choice we make, but we don't get to escape paying the price - at least not until we reliably can make genetic repairs.

Not in most of its solid forms, it isn't.
Inland Antarctica is a very dry place.

In a way, you are correct, but unintentionally so.
There is a correlation, but the causation is one layer higher.

Vaccines are safe, and save lives. And that's the problem. Whenever a young life is saved, that is one person who would have been culled from the pack that now grows up and likely will procreate. Nobody can deny that.
That means that genes that earlier were weeded out now survive and spread in the population the next generation. Including genes that code for weaker immune systems, which appears to be a common factor for both propensity for dying from childhood diseases if catching them, and propensity for becoming allergic.
In short, it's not the children being vaccinated that causes autism, but their parents having been vaccinated if they survived as fertile individuals as a result of the vaccination.

Until we obtain the genetic know-how and competence for how to fix this in individuals, that's the price we have to pay for taking action in saving lives that otherwise would have been lost. The consensus (except for crackpots) seems to be that as a society, we are willing to pay that price.

That there are negative side effects to saving children's lives is not a popular thing to mention, though, so I'm waiting for the down-votes to start.

I think the point was that one should know exactly what was going on before it was run, and being able to follow the low-level flow by looking at the source without "and then, magic occurs" moments.

Simula and Ada were arguably much better languages for understanding exactly what was going on, being as unforgiving as leather clad mistresses, but "C with classes" won out because it was so similar to C. C++ is great, but it does give the programmers enough rope to hang themselves with, while obscuring what's really going on behind the scenes.

C# and Java also solve the leaky memory problem and are much more popular.

I had the same thing on Time Warner. I thought it was part of their dispute, but disabling IPv6 did the trick. Seems to work now, though.

Then you would expect it not to come in last place on a Windows boot, but it did.

Jesus said, "Those who have been saved from much, love much." IMO, this is more an indictment of the years of suffering in Objective C than anything else.

Other than working with interfaces, where C# will build a framework for you and VB will not, I really see very little difference to account for the hatred. In fact, the string functions in VB are actually preferable.

And again, turn off any feature that you don't need. Especially things like public FTP, configuration from the internet, VPN, WPS setup, etc.

I had no issues with Asus except my hard drive (which I was using for file sharing and UPnP) dying. Also, all access to that USB-attached drive was slow and would slow down the router, meaning that any attempt to access a large number of files (such as an in-place backup) would slow everything to a crawl. I recently moved my drive to use an old netbook as a server (14W) and it's much better now.

I used to get 100 Mbps on SpeedTest.net, but the most I've ever seen in the real world is 40 Mbps. I've never seen more from anyone, no matter what. So I recently reduced my internet speed to 50 Mbps and saved $30/month. Why pay for "ludicrous speed" when no company can actually give it to you?

Sony's network hacks were repeatedly done on long-known vulnerabilities.
