No, sir, you fail. You are forgetting the very essence of applied Science.

The randomness that appear in Quantum Physics is only part of an axiomatic model that tries to describe reality as far as we can measure it. The model is not the reality. What current Quantum Mechanics describes as random could very well be deterministic in a later, more accurate model.

Those Hardware RNGs definitely seem random in all possible ways, but what actually happens inside them can be ultimately deterministic. Who knows. Maybe God actually does play dice (or his own version of Warcraft, which is my personal guess).

They will, but only after the point of no return. Examples: driving too fast, not using contraception, dropping out of school, killing every female in the country, etc.

Perhaps not guilty in the legal sense, but if you actively and purposefully made it easier for the bootlegs to be sold, then you would have indeed aided copyright infringement.

Another thing is to discuss whether that is objectionable or not (I, for one, wouldn't raise an eyebrow in the case of your example, but others may do), or whether it is legal or not (which I don't know).

I don't think their problem is not having enough beta testers. More probably it's a shortage of time and competent software engineers who can turn bug reports into fixes. And, of course, the always underestimated effect of Brooks' Law.

Taking into consideration that these people are thinking about using {micro, nano}bots precisely to explore our brains, and keeping the whatcouldpossiblygowrong mindset, this article gives a whole new meaning to gray goo everywhere.

Could they be a substitute for food when we all become zombies and crave for brains?

You can disable all that. Go to Tools -> Settings... -> Update

(Actual names may vary, I'm using Firefox in Spanish language)

There uncheck the three boxes under "Automatically search for updates..."

Then you'll have to click on Help -> Search for updates every time you want to update, but at least thou shalt not be nagged at (yes, I do understand you prefer to have Firefox update itself automatically and naglessly, but in the meantime...).

Man, I sure am glad that I'm not that poor keyboard!

You seem to be thinking about keypresses per minute, while they are talking about words per minute. Quite a difference, may I say.

The problem is in the 'or'. Intelligent criminals and intelligent sociopaths are probably more dangerous than those who are less smart.

Yes, but... how about the odds of our orbit being thrown slightly off-course by a foreign gravity field, just off enough to make Earth uninhabitable for us mammals? I have no idea, but these odds must be several orders of magnitude greater than those of a heads-on collision.

badheadline is even more general than that, and I think it's quite appropriate.
