Except this is not about languages running on embedded platforms, this is about hosting a language inside an application, for providing e.g. scriptability of a GUI application.

In the US, speed limits are legally to be set after the 85th percentile of actual speeds. So if everyone is speeding, the speed limit should legally be changed such that at most 15% of drivers will be speeding at that stretch of road.
This kind of data might just as well be used to help determine areas where the speed limit is wrong.
I'm installing a new computer.
I know, I'll use Linux!
I'll use kernel series 2.2 because I remember that one from when I was a kid. Simple and proven. Great choice I just made!
I remember seeing this kind of notation in my grade school textbooks. (I'm from Denmark by the way.)
Though usually it'd be presented with otherwise marked fields, rather than parentheses, and accompanied by short instructions. In earlier grades accompanied by a drawing representing the kind of problem solving needed, instead of written instructions. Like this:
Fill in the blanks, so both sides are equal:
4 + 3 + 2 = ___ + 2
In later grades, regular equation notation was then introduced, substituting x and y for blanks to fill in. Then you'd get a question like this:
Find the value of x in each equation:
4 + 3 + 2 = x + 2
x = ___
My following argument might not work if you follow it through, but consider it anyway.
Every time you consume a plant, you might deny an animal a source of food or a space for living. What if you eating an apple caused a sparrow to die of hunger, who could otherwise have survived off that apple? In this way, consuming plants might also negatively affect animals.
Huh?
H.264 is not "closed source", it's an open standard with open source encoders (famous x264, everything points to it being the best quality encoder available anywhere) and decoders (libavcodec), it's just that a bazillion companies have patents that cover every corner of video coding. It might be "unfree", but it's certainly not "closed source" or "closed standard" or "proprietary".
So all that stuff about a "tunnel of light" is a lie? It's just infinite blue?
I want my money back.
Attempt to run new application, discover that like most Windows applications, it requires Admin privileges to run, give up trying to make WinXP work like a real multi-user OS, log out, log in as Admin, run program.
File a bug against the application.
The "make a contract with us, get a phone and pay for it monthly" came maybe 4-5 years ago, and they're not still even locked the operator you bought it from
Not so in Denmark, I remember seeing operator-sponsored phones since the GSM network was first introduced 15 or so years ago, and I believe they have been SIM-locked as well most of the time.
There's no remote code execution possible with this on XP, only DoS. You can make the system essentially freeze while the packeting is going on but that's it. Only Vista and Server 2008 have remote code execution exploits from this bug.
Also you can only exploit this if the machine has software accepting TCP connections. If you have an (application) firewall blocking all incoming connections with no exceptions (such as XP SP2+ has by default) there's no real problem.
