    No - sending people to their possible death into oncoming traffic is going to create negligent liability, no matter what your fan-boyism. I use an Android phone and I like it, but I'm not stupid enough to defend this type of activity.

    Most Americans don't understand that the LAPD had had a well-documented, decades-long history of hiring racist police and police brutality against minorities up through the 1960's, culminating in the Watts Riots of 1965, and the Rodney King beating riots of 1992. Some of that racial tension was still playing out in the courtroom at the time of the OJ trial.

  25. Not entirely true on Linux 3.7 Released · · Score: 1

    SUSE offers up an unsupported work-around: "If read-write access to an ext4 file system is still required, you may install the ext4-writeable KMP (kernel module package). This package is available in the online repository "SLES11-Extras" and contains a kernel module that provides read-write access to an ext4 file system. Be aware, that this kernel module is unsupported." (https://www.suse.com/releasenotes/x86_64/SUSE-SLES/11-SP2/#fate-311111). Clearly, SUSE is going with BTRFS instead of ext4.
