I hear you, but could you please elaborate a bit how do you draw the connection from this:

If you have other reasons why you don't trust what Mr. Woo said, maybe it'd be worthwhile to air those as well.

As the old saying goes: "A man with one clock knows what time it is. A man with two clocks is never sure."

True, and I don't think they are unreasonable to demand the full exploit when they are paying for it. I don't necessarily always agree with Google's approach but I think it's good that they man up and pay for the bugs. I wish more companies would do that.

If you are sure about this, I suggest you short the stock and make some money out of it.

I have a friend that used to alias "r" for "rm" and "e" for "emacs". Once he had to restore his thesis from day or two old backup he stopped doing that :)

This. Some of the more recent applications may replace last three steps with atomic rename so that new file replaces the old one. Linux has supported atomic rename already for a good while and so do Vista and later versions of Windows. Even after this data from the old file and new file are still retained on disk, even though space used for the old file will be marked 'free'.

I have to say I'm surprised about that statement. Here I thought that being on final would set you up nicely for the landing; you'd be already lined up with the runway, most probably well positioned on the glideslope and more or less ready to take anything. Lose an engine and dead-sticking it down shouldn't be a problem.

I'd call take-off the most dangerous stage of the flight. You are just about the leave the runway, if you lose the power too many inexperienced pilots will try to make the "impossible turn" and make it back to the runway they departed. During and immediately after the take-off you don't have altitude, you are usually out of position and have limited number of outs to take if something goes wrong.

"Altitude above you, runway behind you and fuel on the ground don't do you any good." Now, if you take the lasers into the equations it doesn't change the fact that additional risk is the same in both of the cases. Losing your sight on the take off is just as bad and during the landing - same thing goes for being momentarily distracted. VFR pilots are notoriously bad at maintaining the level flight when the lose sight of the horizon. Controlled Flight Into Terrain is just as deadly no matter whether just after the take off or just before landing. It is still worth remembering that the baseline risk is higher on the takeoff.

USPA suggest that skydivers should pre-breath 100% oxygen for 30 minutes before take off for jumps with exit altitude is above 25000ft MSL, so well within range of commercial airlines and to some extent, general aviation. Difference between climbing Everest and rapid decompression of an plane is that there is no time to acclimatize. Above 25k most of the people will be affected by hypoxia almost immediately and would be in risk of DCS. Logic is the same as for why scuba divers ascend slowly at end of the dive to avoid DCS. My comparison of the risks was limited to DCS, obviously parachute would help the survival a bit.Usefulness of the parachute may be limited by hypoxia which may lead to unconsciousness - even though person may recover in the freefall once they have reached lower altitudes, as has happened with high-altitude skydivers.

Oxygen pre-breathing is required for high altitude skydiving to avoid DCS. I'd assume that rapid decompression in the plane would subject you to the same risks.

This. I really don't like Apple products because of arbitrary lock down, but I do have to give you that they came up with the best touch interface I have ever seen.

The fact that it is patent free is a selling point for the company that manufactures the device, not for the end user. End user doesn't have to deal with patent licensing or any of that crap, they just either have the product or they don't.

But how is that different from su or sudo? Your su/sudo target account doesn't have to be root.

That means he would have killed prisoner every 4 seconds for four days, non-stop. I go out on a limb and say that it's pretty safe to assume that the number is a bit on the high side.
