About the shutting down traffic being rare in Europe, I beg to differ: it happens quite regularly here in Milan (basically we live in a natural cul-de-sac that accumulater pollutants.
Development cost and market price are not necessarily connected (see Android) and Apple is free to distribute R&D money among its divisions as it pleases her. Being the manufacturer of both hardware and software, it can freely claim that the market price for OSX is 0, but then restrict its licence to force installation only on Apple hardware. Plus, you're free to install whatever OS pleases you on Apple hardware.
If, say, HP or Dell claimed that Windows cost is 0, then they would have to demonstrate that they got it for free from Microsoft, which they didn't. The meaning of this ruling is that a contract with one party cannot force you into a contract with a third party.
It would do nothing to curb criminality, it's just another excuse to privatize the circulation of money. Want a cash-free economy? Fine, give me my free State debit card.
My main PC has an ASRock H77 Pro/MVP and I have zero problems with Fedora, all hardware recognized, UEFI works fine, CSM was disabled by default and I never bothered to turn it on, but most distros should work fine with it now.
I did have to mail it back without charge, while I added a detailed description of the problem, I don't know if they actually tested it or not, but a few days later I've got my money back.
It's just some hacked electronics, not so uncommon. I bought a 32Gb mSDHC card a few months ago on Amazon, and I received a "32Gb mSDXC" card, complete with fake Samsung packaging, that on a better inspection turned out to be an old 2Gb mSD card with hacked firmware to show up as 32Gb to the host system. Of course any file transfer beyond the 2Gb limit was failing miserably. No biggie, I contacted Amazon and received a full refund, and the dealer was soon after banned from Amazon, apparently I wasn't the only one being scammed.

Even better, the coordinates should be encrypted on Kryptos. Now THAT would be meta.
That depends on how persistent the missle's smoke trail is.
Neurotoxin will settle this.
We clearly need to create a Drone Patrol to guard our privacy!
Of course not, the same way Ayn Rand never used Public Health Care! *bald eagles*

This only applies when hardware and software come from different parties.
I wonder about Android smartphones...
I shamefully admit clicking on it at least 10 times and cursing at my browser before realising.
Hardware backdoors. See Huawei.
Not when it comes to encryption.
Hopefully better than the EU's economic predictions...
Are you seriously using Egypt, Nigeria, China and Thailand as a human rights comparison?

Rich people, and a mass of immigrant semi-slave workers that built all of those slightly overcompensating skyscrapers...
A democratically elected dictator, running within the limits of his mandate, you mean?
Svoboda and Pravy Sektor are not Putin's inventions...
Whoosh I guess?
Nice story bro. They should make a movie of it.
My main PC has an ASRock H77 Pro/MVP and I have zero problems with Fedora, all hardware recognized, UEFI works fine, CSM was disabled by default and I never bothered to turn it on, but most distros should work fine with it now.
I guess they were hoping on people laziness or lack of technical knowledge...
Might be, but that's really up to Amazon to do. I won't sue someone for a 20€ scam, it's just not worth the money and time.

So basically, the wealthy will exploit the poor if not forced otherwise? If anything, that seems more like a law enforcement issue to me.
