I've been using Linux since 1995. Linux has been falling behind not gaining. I can't find any Linux distributions that boot on my MacRetina, a hugely selling laptop that's been out 16 months.
That's not true. They have gained a bit of marketshare in terms of units. In terms of dollars they have moved from an average of 1.4x the price of the average PC to 2.7x the price. They have a growing market based on revenue in a rapidly contracting sector.
People do not seem to be turned off by the fact that their Windows 7 machine has a UI that is rather different from their tablet's,
You are incorrect. Computer literacy has been dropping for a decade on desktop OSes. Many of the paradigms on Windows 7 were developed during the days of dual floppies, lower resolution monitors, single tasking and little network interaction. Younger people who didn't evolve from those systems find these systems hard to use and aren't able to be productive on them. That's one of the many reasons tablets have taken off so strongly.
I think we sympathize with different kinds of wrong doers. We are much more generous to pick pockets. But we will starve millions with sanctions because they won't support us against their government.
00000000 is highly non random. It is just as likely as any other number to be guessed randomly, but substantially more likely to be guessed non-randomly.
Your grandfather at least was going against a random number generator. A person guessing nuclear codes is not constrained to guessing randomly.
Microsoft ran BSD on the backend for Hotmail. It was migrated a long time ago. They also run gigantic and much larger data projects on their own server project.
There aren't individuals burning a single book, they just throw it in the garbage. Burning books is meant to draw attention, it is inherently a political activity.
Humans build morality based on sacramental associations. Book burning is an activity only bad people do. Deleting ebooks is an activity both good and bad people do. Ergo: book burning is likely a bad thing while deleting ebooks morally neutral.
That seems like a sensible analysis where one is appealing to sociology for the determination of good vs. evil.
Snowden is doing something that Putin agrees with. Why would Putin interfere?
Remember that Snowden is in regular contact with Glen Greenwald. Russia can't just release information attributed to Snowden because other people are talking to Snowden directly. From Russia's perspective they are getting what they want, and good PR already.
He had shared information with Glen Greenwald, and possibly others by then. Most likely had be been arrested WikiLeaks would have released far more information than what he's been giving to Greenwald.
As far as the public not understanding,or not understanding I think you may have dropped a word. What I do think happened was by keeping it in the news he's given time for people to change their attitude towards domestic surveillance. The original distraction and shock techniques didn't work because they news kept coming.
Snowden's slow release has been keeping this story in the news. He's helping to build controversy around the programs. Releasing everything at once would just overwhelm the media and the pubic's ability to address all the issues raised.
I think GP was talking conventional war. I also think he was talking about the USA and China getting involved in what is primarily a naval war.
In terms of winnable nuclear wars this was rather heavily debated all during the 1970s. Your nuclear winter stuff didn't happen when we tested much larger weapons than we use today during the 1950s and 1960s. The energy of a nuclear weapon is nowhere near what's put out volcanos it is just highly directed. Soot goes above the stratosphere all the time from volcanos, some of it goes all the way out of the atmosphere, it settles quickly a large percentage per year so I would check you facts on that. As for radiation, the places that get hit are radioactive. There isn't enough radiation though to maintain a long term high dose cover of radiation over the entire surface of the earth. All the uranium we've ever dug up couldn't do that, and the overwhelming percentage of uranium has never been refined much less would be part of the exchange.
Nuclear war is terrible. It isn't however nearly what you are describing. I suggest you look at the analysis from when nuclear war was being talked about.
The USA is so far ahead of China on offensive military it isn't close. China's GDP is still 1/2 the USA's. Even if you assume growth relative to the USA of 4% that's still 15 years till they even have an equal GDP. And with that GDP many times more population and since they are growing faster more investment.
I'm not thinking infecting humans, I agree virus are too specialized for that. Rather the issue would be the virus evolving to handle bacteria closely related to the one being targeted. So for example a virus that targets food poisoning that ends up killing an important gut flora and spreads through the population.
The number one issue is agriculture. The public supports cheap meat. Cheap meat i.e. highly crowded conditions so far requires the use of heavy antibiotics on cattle, chickens... The public needs to decide if they want to keep these programs going or now. In the 1970s they voted for cheap meat and so standards are mostly pretty lenient.
There are many algorithms for reduction of the decryption problem. Orders of magnitude get pulled off aver 5 years or so. But that ain't brute force.
I'd say right now it is likely the complex reduction algorithms still aren't good enough to overcome the sheet mathematical complexity given 256-bits. Certainly for something like 1024-4096 nowhere near.
Do you really think individual employees would engage in harassment on their own? I guess that's possible, I think it is unlikely but far more likely than it being a contract.

Try that EUFI boot loaders. Pain in the neck and last time I tried didn't work.
We do use a low efficiency / high productivity language, JavaScript. That's where you are seeing exactly what you are asking for.

Interesting point about data vs. books.

Funny enough I'm a very long time Yahoo mail user but I almost always use it with a rich client. What's good about Outlook:
a) Integrated calendars
b) Multiple integrated email accounts
c) Task management built in
d) Note taking built in

Unless it was very recently yahoo is publicly denying it. Companies don't generally lie that directly.

So for example a virus that targets food poisoning that ends up killing an important gut flora and spreads through the population.
I think it is very interesting. Of course how to even regulate humans creating tailored virus that would then evolve is a tricky...

Yes. But at least they got a lot of money for committing serious crimes.
