tyree732··on Mozilla's "modern browser" attack on IE overlooks Firefox shortcomings
It does not prevent it, it makes it more difficult. There is still communication between processes which could be exploitable. That being said, it certainly helps.

But that is more difficult than making assumptions based on his age.
tyree732··on Why your child's school bus has no seat belts
Keep in mind that these seat belts would be retrofitted to existing models, models which may not be designed to hold seat belts since, as discussed in the article, almost no states require seat belts on school buses over a certain weight. Whatever the case, it wouldn't be surprising if installing a seat belt were 150-250 bucks as there are probably a metric fuckton of regulations on what such a seat belt needs to be.

This is pure speculation of course and, as you've said, only distracts from the real point. Whatever the cost, adding seat belts would probably only make things worse.

tyree732··on Tooth decay to be a thing of the past? Enzyme responsible deciphered
While you aren't stating your opinion on the issue, the possibility of a particular field losing jobs due to some advancement in technology is almost never a valid reason for restricting that technology. Even if tooth decay happened to no longer be a service dentists needed to provide, the market would adjust the pay and number of dentists accordingly to match the new market.

This might suck for dentists over near future, but people would be much better having to no longer worry about tooth decay. Besides, gum disease is a probably a much bigger issue for people's dental health anyway, and that would be just as big a problem after this technology was released.
