And lets not forget that with some distroes(*cough*Ubuntu*cough*) you also get a case where they freeze over the repos, some application has some bug, and there will never be a patched version in the repos. Or upgrading every 6th or 12th month is a pain. On the other hand there is Archlinux: If you can accept running a plain desktop package and you do not need a non-kernel driver, its quite ok.
As somebody who has crashed on a bike: Crashing on a bike is not that bad. Unless one of your limbs hit something so you start twisting around the object(flailing i think the term is), the impact will be quite equal, and not that damaging. Another issue: If it fails 3 times per 3 trillion, does that not mean that if it fails, it will send another signal that arrives a millisecond later? The only real issue left is that the breaks get bad due weardown and teardown, which is why I crashed on my own bike. What does that mean? It means we have a better breaking system, more effective than today, in a mass producable design. I think we should test it. Or rather: I want one, and i don't want such a cool thing to turn into yet another silly amount of waporware.
If they don't have any spesific laws on the issue allowing parts of the goverment black holes that enable them to do such things, its illegal. Now, where are the heads that will roll?
The untested version is that you allow the universities around the country to Veto and implent laws directly against the parlament or nationanal assembly. It has never been tested.
Here is a tip: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bystander_Effect You can potentially do anything but going berserk against a crowd, and nobody will care, because the Tokyo subway is transporting to many people. If you ever find yourself in a bad situation in one of Japans crowded trains: Shout "Fire!" or the japanese equalliant, and people will at the least attempt to run in panic.
Somebody mod up. Without teaching the kids how to listen, and how to get over their inital accent problems, no kids will be able to learn more languages or hear more sounds.
What, can't handle minorly blurred vision? I had poor eyesight from year 0 to year 12, and it was only discovered by a accident. Stop sodding and GET TO WORK.
If I remember my random knowledge correct: A space elevator would cost 20 billions in RnD, which is quite cheap. Why has nobody sat down and done it? Because simpelly nobody has.
And lets be honest here. We should not blame the scientists, but the politicans. Why the politicans? Because they are the only people who can FORCE everybody to live in safe houses, by making minimum standards for buildings. The same applies to anything that everybody saw coming, including the banking crisis and a lot of financial bubbles.
But since we live in reality: Nobody will prosecute the polticians for messing up, and nobody will vote for somebody who is willing to fix problems. Everybody is apathic, and a dictatorship is only better than a indirect democracy because there will be no random change of seats.
I have lived 19 years of my life so far, and I am not the person that is quoted. I also have bad social skills. But even I have never gotten to the level he talks about. Not even once. For him the problem is not that he gets into such a bad situation, but rather that every single of those situations he gets into ends like that.

Anonymous is per definiton just people who get together to do stuff for the lulz, meaning that losing every today would not have any impact on them tomorrow.
A small point: Kids was working fulltimes job all continued to work under their parents approval all the way into modern world, until there was regulations DIRECTLY banning it. Why because the parents invested their kids short term time into their short term goal, which is to earn money.
And food labels? Poisoned food. Companies WILL sell me fish filled with lead, acid or anything else if they feel like it. Why would they feel like it? Becuase they earn money on it. And why do they earn money on it? Because there are no regulations forcing them to a minimum standard, and because the court system has never worked. Look at it this way: 1. I need a right to be able to more or less murder the entire company if they managed to spread poison in bad faith 2. I need to have a right to SHUT DOWN the company if their business practice is not directly intended harmful, but rather passively lethal, and its not intentional 3. I also need to force any company to disclose all their information to me, and a neutral examiner, if i want to 4. And yet somehow the corporation needs a protection against random arson....... Which creates the problem of turning the "we need this" into "A needs X, but so does B, and then there is a conflict of interest" 5. The workers must have a full right to kick out and murder the CEO and leaders for mismanagment 6. And yet in the middle of this there is suppose to be no legal protection nor any minimum standards, or any way of prosecuting anybody without doing outright murder and hope nobody finds out. If a company decides to poison their fish they can decide to lie, and tell that "we didn't do that, its a mess up! we will do better next time!", and you can't separate it from a actual accident. So they can't be axed for being bastards, yet they are. The other problem is that the corporation would still have the right to move their practice of a shop, and since "local bans" only lasts something like 50x50 km, how are we going to bring them to justice without a large unified ban?
You forgot foreign trade and foreign exploitation. Both of these companies reek of it, just like everything did under the Industrial Revolution(think workers rights and pollution).
IANAL But what makes most sense is to sue Atari for harrasment, and i think there is court procedures that can't be appealed. No really, send them a note for "you have to go to court" via snailmail, ignore them not showing up, and claim damage.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_code_of_silence And here ya go: A wikipedia article about cops covering cops, because they are cops, and not because they are actually free of any guilt. They will lie and attempt to cover everyones ass, even if they are all rapists and murders. Look at it this way: If you are asked to "cover" for a fellow cop, you are doing a felony you are well aware of.
Well, the thing is that the "cool factor" is something no other company does. Look at the Macbook Air: The thing has been without proper competition for quite some time, and just recently the Ultrabook concept has been spawned just so that some companies will attempt to compete. If Appe never had made the iPhone, the touch interface would never have gotten popular either.
If Apple is "a disgusting company with no creativity", then please tell me what IBM, Lenevo, Acer and all the other copycats is then?
I got a simple idea:
If a company is bankrupt or starting to aquire negative revenue, the company have a full right to get all money that anybody has earned from them via stock trade, or bonuses to anybody in managment position, over the last 10 years. This also applies to unnatural large revenue surplus that does not fit with the companies growth. That would mean everything that the company earns on firering massive amount of workers and attempting to outsource could still be gotten back from the investors and CEO.
What would this mean? That the CEO is only allowed to keep what he earns on stock trade IF the company does not fall straight trough the ground. This also means all the investors who pushed trough outsourcing and then sold stocks will be forced to pay back everything they earned. This also means that the CEO who parachutes a year before the company collapses will be forced to pay it all back.
I am sure there is a lawyer and a congress member somewhere who can make a precice law of this, without all the silly unintention backdoors and unpreciseness of this post.
