There is no Silver Bullet in coding. You can't get it right from the beginning always, and you shouldn't hinge success on that hope. The biggest benefit projects get from the FOSS community is that such silly security problems are easily spotted and fixed. If anything this gives me HOPE because it shows there is enough interest in the project that the code is being held to a solid standard. And thanks to that same community those standards will be met, maintained, and hopefully exceeded.

This is what I perceived as the point of the project too. I never expected this to be a hacker proof version of facebook, and that never seemed to me to be the PROBLEM with facebook.

The problem with facebook is how THEY use your data WITHOUT cracking a single thing.

All the Diaspora hate coming from this PRE-ALPHA release of their source code seems so strangely out of place.
I mean, nothing seems to point to me that this is shill garbage coming from facebook, but the conceptual idea of Diaspora is sound and the code was released for the precise reason of improving it, as it has done. Yet all I've heard is some disproportionate vitriol against the project. It doesn't make sense.
And hell, the majority of the security issues found appear to be rather simple to fix. Just add authorization checks and use mongoDB stored procedures more frequently.

Those words have meaning. Specific meaning, in fact. And they in no way apply to this topic.

That crazy Lupin, what will he do next?

A) Cap and trade is proven to have worked regarding acid rain.

B) Who said there is a silver bullet solution and only one option can be tried?

C) You don't deserve that karma, your statement was trite and counterproductive.

Maybe it would be safer if planes only had one pilot, but the pilot flew only half of the time they currently do, the gap created by which is filled by the now removed co-pilot. This would reduce fatigue and stress on the pilots aiding in a whole number of health issues tied to reasons pilots may become incapacitated in the first place.

You sacrifice safety for expediency daily. Everyone does. It isn't black and white but a gradient. I do not think it is ridiculous to suggest the advance of modern technology has made co-pilots possibly unnecessarily redundant.

Less obesity and less national debt from underpaid idiots using credit to buy this crap for their kids.

No, I'm Spartacus.

Exaggerating threats is a necessary component of making change. You exaggerate beyond your REAL target knowing people will disbelieve the threat even if presented honestly.

If you present it honestly then people will indeed wait until too late.

It is damn dangerous though because if this meta-consideration is made aware to those being given the threat analysis, they will distrust ANYTHING you have to say even if you move to an honest and realistic assessment after the exaggerations.

I modded you insightful, then thought about it. The entire premise is an understanding of the equals sign. And even if they were confused by the () 4+3+2 NEVER EQUALS (9)+2

I think they chose a nonstandard notation for that fact so they would have to rely on the contextual meaning of what an equals sign DOES mean to understand what the intent of () was.

Showing we're being lied to is a political objective now? I thought it was the right thing to do.

I will not be surprised to find soon there is an inexpensive way of shielding against this.

Then again, if you've got nothing to hide, why do you have tinfoil lined pockets, citizen?
