But which was it, the master or the apprentice?

No need to shoot it. I have a Mac: I'll upload a virus to take care of it.

I want to see people in at most one piece after a car accident.

Because http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Credit_card#Costs_to_merchants means the merchant owes the card company at least $0.40 (1% of two $20 transactions) and more likely $1.20. Add postage, packing and the cost of paying employees to unpack and refile the discs and record which customer has returned them and you're probably looking at $5 per cycle before you break even.

Frankly I'm amazed netflix et al are profitable at the prices they charge.

NTFS already supports paths longer than 255 bytes; you just need to use the right APIs to access them.

It used to really piss me off that the JVMs for Windows weren't using the long-path APIs. It stopped annoying me when I stopped needing to write Java programs.

If what you need documenting is at the level of comments within a file your problem is not that your programmers aren't writing comments it's that they are not sriting good software. If meaningful class, method and variable names and sensible expression constructs are used there is no benefit to be had from comments.

I'll make an exception for comments to explain why a given piece of code is not actually batshit insane but required to work with a third-party library you have to use.

Producing documentation that spans classes and discusses how things are designed to work at run-time is, however, part of the job.

If the poster wasn't AC, maybe

The story here is what?

If you're using precompiled software what does it matter? Unless you build from source you have no evidence that the source on offer in any way corresponds to the binary you're running anyway.

They just walk across the bridge near Strasbourg.

More seriously, it would be interesting to know the approximate geographic distribution of contributors to such projects. Most open source stuff I've downloaded has been in the origin-unknown category, or from european developers.

At most, all the fresh honey contained therein will come out. This may be less than all the fresh honey I want.

Doesn't work – you can modify the VM's memory contents and read/mutate its I/O operations from the host machine. It would in many respects make the attacker's job easier as they would only have one OS/browser version to go at.
