The stable ABI is what created most of the mess in Windows. Listing this as a shortcoming of Linux shows you have no idea what you're talking about. A huge mass of badly maintained binary only drivers is not a good thing, it's an incredible liability.
Drivers need to be maintained. The only way to ensure that is to have their maintenance be part of the kernel maintenance. A stable ABI would directly counteract this.
And Microsoft keeps doing transgressions. They haven't washed out their stripes. They've just been slapped on the wrist enough to not be blatant about it.
The case is not only extreme, it is valueless. When law enforcement knows that much about the situation, they already know what to do. The contents on the iPhone will not help them at all.
That illustrates no conflict at all. The answer is clear; privacy wins in this case. There exist no guarantees at all that the bomb exists, that the iPhone contains anything which will help defuse it, or that the information on the iPhone even is correct.
And if the bomb exists, and law enforcement have been so mind bogglingly incompetent that getting inside the iPhone is the only way to locate it, then the answer is to get less mind bogglingly incompetent law enforcement. Not to destroy the privacy of every iPhone owner in the world.
Who's freedom is more important? The transgendered woman who looks like a bearded, burly man who wants to use the men's room, or the women, who wants that bearded burly person in their women's room?
Oh wait, that's not what the women want! They want the obviously man looking person to go to the men's room. But the law prohibits that.
Then you have to factor out the shootings in European countries which are drug and gang related, and then there are hardly any left there, and the "equal or lower" is gone.
Why should the US be held to a different standard?
The concept of "single binary" is misleading. Computer science doesn't even include formal definitions for that concept, so it is not at all something basic. And frankly, I don't even understand what you mean by that in the context of distribution. I suspect that neither do you.
What this is about is distribution of various executable files. At the core is the question if one executable (zfs.ko) is derived from or to be considered a part of another executable (the kernel) *during distribution*. What happens at runtime is immaterial.
The Paris attacks *are* the least of our worries. Just look at what happens in the Middle East as the various sects of Islam duke it out. Look at what happens when Islam becomes the state religion in a country.
Fact remains, the core books of christianity contain concepts of forgiveness and giving up on violent ways. The core book of islam contains nothing of the kind. Yes, holy books are always used to support extremism, but that does not make them all the same. Ignoring the difference between the core books is worse than counterproductive; it is foolish and a path leading to our doom.
The core book of Christianity contains the new testament, which abolishes the old testament, and supercedes the passages you linked to. There is no such thing in Islam. Nothing trumps the quran.
As to nuance in approaching Islam, that is haram. Anyone with a nuanced approach to Islam is a heretic.
Stop claiming that the rest of the world are gullible idiots. The US government couldn't conspire to arrange a trip to the toilet. There's no way they could arrange - and keep secret - something like blowing up their own buildings.
That they could munge up their intelligence enough to let a bunch of terrorists do it though, that's more in line with the generally accepted capability of the US government.
If someone in my family gets hurt, I will want vengeance and retribution. I want the guilty to suffer. Death is too kind, I want to see prolonged torture, and I want to take part in it myself.
Which is why the laws are the way they are. People who are hurt generally want vengeance, not justice. That doesn't mean that it's right to give them that, or that giving them that will make society better. In fact, it will make society worse.
Re-encoding my images means they are not stored, but marginally represented. That would indeed violate the description of what they offer, which is storage.
The one reason for me to use this kind of service is to backup my RAW images so that I will still have access to them, undamaged, years from now when I have new, improved RAW converters. If that is not what they offer they need to be very clear about this.
You do not comprehend the meaning of "brick". A fork bomb will not brick a system. Nor will a trojan. Nor will doing "rm -rf/" on a system which does not have uefi variables mounted rw.
Bricking means the system becomes a BRICK. No matter what you do, you can not reboot it. You can't even boot from external media to reinstall. Replacing the hard disk will not make it boot. The system is a BRICK. Dead, and unable to boot at all.
That is bricking. That is not possible to achieve with fork bombs, or trojans, or removal of OS files. Fucking a system up is not bricking. This is on a completely different scale.
The game was far from essentially finished. In fact, it never will be finished. User interfaces get better, exploits are discovered, and NetHack fixes and incorporates this to remain challenging and fresh. In fact, the update is quite timely as there are a lot of issues with NetHack 3.4.3 which now get addressed!
This doesn't mean it gets the streamline treatment modern AAA titles get. In fact, rather the contrary. The new nasties are *really* nasty. NetHack now is a lot more unforgiving than NetHack 2.3 I began with back in the day. And NetHack 3.1.3 was eminently exploitable. That's now in the past, with polymorphing, store thefts and other things long since patched.
"The Gremlin chuckles. You feel warm. You burn to a crisp."
I live in northern Europe. I never carry cash around. Stores and coffee shops don't want to handle cash. They want me to pay by card. And I want to pay by card, using chip and PIN, because that is safer for me than carrying around cash.
I can't even pay for the bus in my town using cash. There was one attempted robbery of a bus driver, and all buses went cashless overnight.
I can't really agree that a bunch of highly interdependent chunks, glued together by an ever-morphing API, are in any way, shape or form "fairly modular". And that is the main problem.

It's free, you say? Where do I download the source?
Or do you mean free as in beer? Ok, where do I download the server software to set up my own OneNote server?
Calling five out of seven "only a little better than half" is rather misleading.
You really have no place to call out "grossly misleading figures".
And what is stopping those people from simply not joining the union? Is a gun held to their head?
Where I work about one third of the employees are in the union. The rest are on their own.

Oh wait, that's not what the women want! They want the obviously man looking person to go to the men's room. But the law prohibits that.
Is that really the majority rule?
Actually, that is exactly what the law does, It criminalizes policies against discrimination.
Your arguing AGAINST this new NC law.
Under the law, someone who was born a woman but now looks like a burly, bearded man HAS TO use the bathroom together with your wife.
The law FORBIDS that person from using the men's room, and DEMANDS that person walks in with your wife.
If she says "please leave, this is the woman's bathroom", she is in breach of the law.
They did that. But the phone ran out of battery and had to be restarted, and when restarted it needs the passcode.

The main difference is that the core book of Islam not only justifies but demands abhorent behaviour.

It's real bricking. The motherboard is dead. You need to reprogram the UEFI chip to make it work again, using a JTAG or an EEPROM programmer.
There is no way to get an OS to boot, from existing media or external media, so there is no way to initialize or reinstall.
You do not comprehend the meaning of "brick". A fork bomb will not brick a system. Nor will a trojan. Nor will doing "rm -rf /" on a system which does not have uefi variables mounted rw.

Except you will, as Microsoft keep adding ways to work around third party blockers. It doesn't work completely right now, for example, only mostly.
Which helps not at all when they all start downloading before any one of them are finished.
No. But you can complain if KDE segfaults if you don't have an X window system.
