I think the place they will dominate first (and next, I guess) is motorcycles. The only thing missing from most current electric motorcycles is top speed. Most people don't ride long distances on them, so it's an ideal kind of vehicle to hit next.

Without skullduggery, we would know Bill Gates as "that embedded BASIC guy". And there would be nothing wrong with that, either. It would certainly be better than "headed corporation convicted of deliberate anti-trust actions", although he certainly is spending a lot of money to Rockefeller his way into a cushier spot in the history books.

On the contrary, only someone clueless about MS history could fail to know that his parents (both of them, in fact) were instrumental in his access to that market.

Rand Paul is just more of the same. He pays lip service to liberty.

Sanders, on the other hand, might actually believe what he says. It certainly looks like it, all the time.

It's well-documented that Billy Gates' success is largely due to having rich and well-connected parents.

he obviously needs help, but how will putting him into a rape factory where criminals are hardened help society?

Oh yeah, they hated women so much, they wanted to look at pictures of them naked.

No, it's a proven fact. Now you don't even know what you wrote. Hilarious. You've got yourself all in a tizzy.

If they were half as smart as they think they are, they'd demand plain text. It doesn't hide malware unless you save it to a file and double-click it. Who gives a shit about what font a resume is in? They can buy the layout.

Ah yes, the ultra-secure PDF, which has never been a vector for malware.

A number of telcos have dropped it, though googling around, it's less than I thought.

That's a wonderful response to a student who complains about the use of the image in an image processing class, but not a useful one here, where we are discussing the import of the issue.

I've already debunked the citation of this report when other people who failed to understand it cited it. That is a report on reported vulnerabilities. It says so right at the top of the chart. Now, go back and re-read my prior comment to understand why that is useless, and why you have failed.

If you want me to debunk any other crappy citations for you, I can do that. But if it gets to be a habit, I'm going to bill you.

Tee hee.

Your naivete is charming, but if you have testicles, count them after every future transaction

I'd tell them to look into the possibility of wireless internet in their area. It usually still sucks compared even to DSL, but it's orders of magnitude better than dial-up — measurably so.
