Wrong century... ATMs of today are running on off the shelf hardware, with "special" (as in special needs) operating systems (Windows). They have exposed USB ports under the hood and to make it completely idiotic, the only thing locked behind high security is the money. The motherboard is quite often found just under the keypad, which can be accessed by standard keys.

See these guys http://www.youtube.com/watch?v... (Unfortunately the actual hack is poorly recorded, but still quite interesting).

Well the problem with that story is it ruins perfectly good conspiracy theories, an airplane going down due to a fire is horrible, but it just isn't sexy enough to keep us news zombies interested.

(Also, one thing I don't like about his deduction is how the airplane managed to stay airborne for 6 more hours; as he himself writes, a fire onboard an aircraft is a major problem, one does wonder how a fire managed to kill everyone on board but in the process also managed to put itself out before anything important for continued flight went dead).

So, once you have learned an UI, you refuse to upgrade?

I haven't tried Android Studio, but I am using IntelliJ Ultimate Edition - for the life of me, I can see any reason why anyone would ever prefer Eclipse over IntelliJ.

There was a plane some time back that dropped out of the sky, due to black market parts, since then it has been cleaned up quite a bit, but if you are a cheapo operator, picking something up in the far east, that happens to be the real thing for 1/10th of the price, might seem like a good deal.

Granted I personally doubt this is the goal of this disappearance, iff, and that is a big iff, the airplane was stolen, it is most likely because someone wants to do some terror, e.g. fill it with radioactive materials and stick it in a building somewhere.

Personally I believe it to be somewhat more mundane, electrical fire taking out systems ad-hoc, pilot tries to save his plane, gets his bearings wrong and plane ends up in the water somewhere unexpected.

In theory yes, in real life no. There is quite a huge black market for spare parts.

The big question is what was worth killing 238 people for (the airplane is most probably still intact, the passengers however, was probably killed when they climbed to 45.000 feet)? While an airplane like the 777 clocks in at $250 million, it's probably only going to fetch between $25 million and $50 million as spare parts. One does wonder what was in the cargo; military equipment? Dollars? Perhaps a passenger was carrying high value trade secrets?

Perhaps someone is planning to stick it in a building at some point in the future (even worse, load it with a nuke - damned thing can easily be disguised as civilian traffic and can fly around the world and place it where ever they want...)

They will never realize that I have no idea what I'm doing!

Depends on where you are, but here in Socialist Europe, people are calling less and less, so the ability to call is becoming less of a bullet point.

Data and texting are the most important features now...

BS. Just because you are a startup doesn't mean you can't get competent programmers.

And whatever happened when the company started, doesn't change the fact that they had half a billion worth of bitcoin when they got screwed; with little to no security in place. as I said, it's more impressive that they didn't get run over before.

Why high up? Most articles about Mt. Gox talks about lax security and bag change management.

They had half a billion dollars worth of bitcoins, a "currency" which is extremely hard to track and ridiculously easy to steal if you have the keys to the city. Stealing half a billion dollars (without being a bank) requires a truck and some heavy lifting - a developer stealing the wallets and nuking the database takes only a few seconds and very little lifting.

I find it harder to believe it took so long for someone to steal it...

Does the loading and saving keep EXIF? My camera puts in a lot of EXIF information, stripping it out can save quite a bit of space.

When you make a statement like: "travelling salesman in 4 lines of code", it generally means the entire problem in 4 lines of code, not a function call to some built in function and a couple of array initializers.

Now, had the submitter written something like "Hey check this out, it has some really cool functions build in", that would have made at least some sense.

Well obviously, he is trying to get rid of his coins....

This is probably the best explanation I've ever read.
