the question was "Why wouldn't I reformat the partition?" The answer is that he can format his partition if he wants to, but the proper way to do it is not to use the rm command at all.
"rm -rf/" doesn't reformat anythings. I only deletes files, from all mounted partitions, including any mounted network share. It's not the same as mkfs.ext4
Maybe. But then it will become a business-only phone maker. Those CIA guys with Blackberries will carry two phones, a Blackberry, which suck but is forced to them by their employer, and their own phone, for all other purposes. Every time they have to go back to their blackberry, they will think "if only it was as good as my Android/iPhone".
We don't. That's why I would support a push by the rest of the world to take it over. We would just need to launch a parallel root DNS service / IP address assignation. The US would be free to keep it's own (and stay in the dark), but the rest of the world would no longer depend on the US.
What makes you think so? Doesn't the US have more TLD than other countries? And anyways, ever heard of prevention? We want to make sure shit won't happen in the future because the US would have to power to do so.
The Internet is here and operates in a manner in which everyone is trying to protect. So, what is the solution to protecting it? Change how it has worked.
In other words, fix something not broken.
You are making a fallacy here. Getting the control of the internet out of the US is not about "protecting" it. It's a matter of independence and national security. Other countries can't rely on a single country for this critical task.
He said "they're rapist". What more do you need? He could have said "a very small minority of them are rapist". But he chose to say "they're rapist" instead. He chose to be provocative and yes, this is racist.
(*) I'm referring to American politics, but it probably applies in other places, such as Canada, the UK, and Australia.
No it doesn't. The US has unlimited corporate spending in elections. In Canada it's $0. That's right, corporations can't fund politicians. Only people can, and there is a very low maximum amount. That's why we don't have as much climate change deniers within our political elite.
The Canadian so-called multilingual keyboard it shit and no one uses it except Apple. It has many flaws. The Canada French keyboard is much better. It can type all French characters while still being a QWERTY keyboard. France should use it too.
The continents are called North America and South America or "the Americas" (plural) when referring to both at the same time. America is short for United States of America - the only country in the world that has "America" in it's name. It's pretty standard to shorten the country's official name by removing the form of government portion. For example the People's Republic of China, is shortened to simply China, Russian Federation to Russia and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia simply as Macedonia. Nothing controversial here.
Wrong. America is also a continent. It depends on which number of continents model you follow (it *is* controversial). But when someone says that "Columbus discovered America" (no plural form), a very common phrase even in English, we all understand that we are talking about the continent called America and not the country of the United States.
Also, people living on the continent called America or Americas (it doesn't matter whether it's plural) are called Americans, even though that usage is not frequent in English because of the confusion.
It isn't comparable to removing the "republic of" before the name of a country. What distinguishes China from the other countries is the name "China". Not "people" or "republic". They also use the short name "China" in various international organizations. The USA never use the name "America" officially. You will never see a delegate from the USA in an international organization with the word "America" in front of him.
The whole idea of ad blocking is ridiculous. If you don't like ads, then don't view ad-supported content. Simple as that.
I hope you always watch all commercials on TV. If you don't like them, don't watch TV. Never fast-forward them (if recorded on DVR) go to the toilet during the commercial.
When you read a magazine, I hope you never skip a page with only ads.
That would be as unacceptable as blocking ads on the web.
Nobody is denying the fact that some people spend a way too large proportion of their income on Apple products. Some others buy used and/or older-gen Apple products instead. You can probably get a 2 years old iPhone for the same price as a Nexus 5X.
Could apple even build their stuff in the US if they wanted to?
Yes. It's a question of price. If a 35% tax isn't enough, then maybe 50% or 90%. At a certain level, of course Apple will move it back, because it will make more sense financially.
How Trump would force Apple's supply chain, which relies heavily on a vast network of suppliers and large factories throughout Asia, to be brought stateside remains unknown
How about TFS be consistent with itself? It isn't unknown, it's by taxing them:
The most popular candidate in the Republican party said he would impose a 35% business tax on American businesses manufacturing outside of the United States.

Remove the "slashdot deals" as well as "slashdot newsletter" from the top right. Just like it was before.

It would be more neutral. You can be against net neutrality if you want to. Just admit it.
They won't maintain an OS for low single-digit market share.
Blackberry is dead too.

because the day it does a bad job, it may be too late. It's a matter of independence.
Except it hasn't happened that way.

Even if there is only a single country which is more democratic and less corrupt than the US, the US must not have control of the internet.
to me, it sounds more like the threat of the recourse to congress is an influencer FOR pursuing courses that would hurt the internet as a whole.
and the possibility of an ultimate recourse to Congress
You are kidding, right? The 95% of the world living outside of the USA have absolutely no recourse to your Congress.

Adblock Plus has the option you are looking for, their "acceptable ads". It's even on by default.

Of course. But still, according to Trump it would be better for the US economy.
Who pays the tax depends on the elasticity. It can be 100% the company or 100% the consumers, but it is usually a mix of the two.
Could apple even build their stuff in the US if they wanted to?
