Heh. Reminds me of the time one of my bosses (aka president of the company) decided to reboot a Linux server. By using 'sync sync sync reboot'. In 2009.
The problem is, that 'no wrongdoing' verdict might come after years of litigation, costing millions of dollars, a non-zero amount of business impact (people getting depositioned, document discovery, etc etc) and who knows how much lost customer goodwill.
Bah. Just tell him that crashes are quantumally (technical term) uncertain, and because you know WHERE the crash will be (in the computer) you can't know WHEN the crash will be. Point out that you can predict that there will be a crash at 3:35:27.45 PM that day, but because you know WHEN it is, you can't know WHICH COMPUTER it will actually be.

Yesterday's 10,000 dollar specialty equipment is today's 200 dollar video game accessory. Wiimote, Kinect, wii balance board, all come to mind right away.
I was in England a decade or two back for reasons.
We were in London, and there was a day of freezing rain. Nobody cared. The next day, there was snow. Not even a millimeter. A dusting. The city literally shut down.
Borrow from where? All of the other cities in the area that also don't generally suffer snowstorms? More northerly cities that are probably busy using their equipment, thank you very much?

Actually, I hear he was a bit of an idiot.
Actually, it's more like 'You want to install a home security system. You're a solider. Why can't you take a tank home?'

The school started a relationship with Facebook the moment they knowingly logged in with somebody else's credentials.
Credentials gained under duress, in case anybody says 'but she handed them over!'
Windows Vista: A 64-bit compilation of 32-bit extentions to a 16-bit patch written for an 8-bit OS blah blah blah.
There are new ports for VII and VIII. Or at least, re-done ports. Out on steam a few months ago.
Goddamn right.
There's an outline out there for a proposed second season, and it's awfully dark.
And if she draws her own conclusions, that's reasonable. Though you could say 'And because of that CA, if you tell ANYONE, we get NOTHING. NOTHING!'
"Where'd I get the money? Court settlement. I'm bound by a CA, and can't give further details."

I agree with all points, but wow. Number 3 really got away from you.
Are you using this OS, twenty years old, with the device drivers backported?
Aren't cell phones *required* to provide as much location data as possible for emergency services and the like?
