This doesn't get into the fact that we're capable of jamming out double the consumption if we weren't snarled up in regs. Oklahoma could probably do that too.

You know...the problem with your line of reasoning is as follows...
1. Failing with spaces is more of a problem with specifying the expression. It only takes a little more knowledge of how bash works to avoid that- and it's not any more complicated.
2. Same with names beginning with "-" (and you should have your head examined if you've got anything like that...it's bad mojo in most OSes for that one...)
3. Overwriting is unavoidable- and with the gui tool, it'd have as much of a chance of doing that as the bash script. Or...you'll be answering yes/no questions out the wazoo on that.
4. Is fine.
This is a textbook case of someone coming up with a hypothetical to try to prove their point- and they missed the point of it all trying to do it.
Fallacy number 365 - Presuming that because it's on the desktop or in a quicklaunch slot you're going to use it often.
It's there because much of the user base until recently were unafraid of things bash and it was there for personal preference. I don't use it all that often, haven't for a long time now on Linux.
I guess that this is a YMMV thing. I've not had to dig more than 2-3 pages in and often it's still on the first page or the first link when I place a query. I guess it's more in how you frame your searches.
Facebook? Really? Faceplant's nothing more than a batch of people doing a "dig-me" thing on the Internet- and I'm one of it's users.
I wouldn't have even thought about looking for plumbers via Faceplant. Most of my associates (and I can heartily assure you that most of them aren't as computer savvy as I am...) on Facebook wouldn't have thought of looking for a plumber by asking a question of their friends like that. They'd have let their fingers do the walking in the yellow pages, meatspace or online. Sorry, not buying it.
That's not wholly the case. With something like Google and Bing, you can find a LOT more than just what new smartphone to buy.
Amazon doesn't have information on things like Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) systems, including the deployed systems. Wikipedia might have a good encyclopedic entry on the subject, but you won't find the scientific/engineering journals on the subject or the fact that the first system stored 300MW of power for 6 hours and that the second one stored 110 MW of energy for 26.
Google or Bing will have that information findable. The main reason there is an impression that it's "fading"- it's because it's difficult to find information because people have forgotten (or never knew...) how to ask the right questions for answers- and you have to frame queries with a bit of care to drive the two top search engines to their fullest.
Yes and no. If they know the pics with specificity (Not just "child porn" or similar...) then they can compel her to divulge the password. Failing that, they have no right to demand it- and claiming the Fifth is legit and they're barred from doing anything. Placing her in contempt of court in that context is a violation of the Fifth Amendment and immediately voids the case. If they can't define what they're specifically looking for in detail, then they have no valid warrant under the Fourth, which means the case should just implode at that point. Just because they seized an encrypted HD doesn't mean anything unless the contents were specifically named and demanding that she turn over an unencrypted copy is not allowed under the Fifth Amendment as that's testimony- and you're not required to incriminate yourself with your own testimony. They have to crack it themselves if they can't prove they know what's on there. And if they make something up...well...that makes it a real mess that voids the case as well (Nice, violate the Fourth Amendment to get them to void their Fifth Amendment protections...)
It's a razor's edge the Court walks when it does this sort of thing.
There's limitations to how long the Judge can actually do this. If served with a Writ of Habeas Corpus, he HAS to justify their position in a manner consistent with the Fourth and Fifth Amendments- failing to do so, he HAS to drop it on the spot and let you go, per the Fifth Amendment. What he/she'd face if she failed to do so...it's very likely to be nastier than they think they're being by doing this. (Color of Law violations carry heavy penalties...)
Ah, but the thing is... Unless they've got specifics on what's on the hard drive to get a warrant for the same specific information, they can't indefinitely compel her (Fifth Amendment) and at some point they can file a Habeas Corpus filing (Fifth Amendment) which they'll have to clearly justify themselves (Incl. the Judge) on keeping her on "contempt". If she "remembers" the password and the files in question per the warrant aren't on the HD, it's a Fourth Amendment violation at that point- which costs the case on the spot as well.
But...you've got to know your rights regarding the Bill of Rights and know that you have to be willing to resist the authority you're being presented with.
(*Insert "I Am Not A Lawyer" clause here... If you're in this position seek licensed and competent counsel! *)
Uh, not precisely. An Act of Extortion is defined in most jurisdictions in a manner like this one:
EXTORTION. A person subject to this chapter who communicates threats to another person with the intent to obtain anything of value or any acquittance, advantage, or immunity is guilty of extortion and shall be punished as a court-martial directs.
It's deemed to be a situation where this is done to obtain those things where the person would not otherwise be legally obligated to do so. If I've done the act, they can show that I have done it in a manner that could stand up in court, it's not extortion. Otherwise, you're skating on thin ice at best with it. What RIAA was doing was racketeering and extortion.
1. to secure (money, favours, etc.) by intimidation, violence, or the misuse of influence or authority 2. to obtain by importunate demands the children extorted a promise of a trip to the zoo 3. (Business / Commerce) to overcharge for (something, esp interest on a loan)
extortion (k-stôrshn)
n.
1. The act or an instance of extorting. 2. Illegal use of one's official position or powers to obtain property, funds, or patronage. 3. An excessive or exorbitant charge. 4. Something extorted.
It's not 'technically" extortion. Most of the Does they had on their list are not something that RIAA can pin a case to properly. (i.e. They can't prove, by preponderance of evidence that the Does in question actually DID anything in violation of the law.)
Without positive ability to prove, they're using fraud at the core of an act of intimidation to get a settlement out of every one of them- with the threat of a lawsuit that ultimately they will not prevail on, but will cost you more than the settlement to exonerate yourself of...)
It's racketeering and extortion using the Courts to empower the acts in question.
The problem with ARM is there are literally millions of x86 programs that have become an integral part of peoples lives, this is also why even though Linux has been getting better each year it fails to find any real gains. Everything from that camera that came with the photo software your Aunt Sue loves to Corel and Photoshop, from that bain of Linux geeks MS Office to Quickbooks/Quicken which is God in small business and rightly so.
Really? Millions? You know, using hyperbole is all well and good, but outright exaggeration never wins you arguments.
There's maybe several HUNDRED that people rely upon that you can buy right now. If it's not on Windows7, OSX, or Linux, it's liable to be an unsupported piece of software- and at some point they're NOT going to be able to continue to run it- so it DOES NOT COUNT if it's one of those. For the rest, if it's on Windows7 there's a possibility that the vendor will make a Win8 ARM version. OSX is probably out of the question. Linux...heh...most everything that is built for X86 can be built for ARM with minimal or no effort whatsoever. (I contend that if they can't do it, they need to re-think their software or find a new line of business...but that's MNSHO.)
And, this doesn't get into iOS and Android- along with a host of other up-and-coming answers on ARM.
Keep kidding yourself. CPU matters less these days and as the old apps no longer are supported, the users will go looking for other answers to their problems- which will free them up considerably from that base world you talk to.
Heh... Clock to clock, they're neck and neck right at the moment with the A9. Remind yourself that most of the A9 devices are clocked 1.0-1.2 GHz where the Atoms are all clocked at 1.6-1.8 GHz. There's your speed difference. Power consumption...heh...they're not comparable right now. ARM consumes quite a bit less at comparable clocks to the Atoms. And the A15 changes the name of the game. It kind of pastes the current and the claimed next generation of Atoms in overall performance- and it still keeps the rough power advantage.
Intel doesn't have an edge on ARM right at the moment except at the mid to high-end. And soon, the mid-end is going to be encroached upon by them.
Got a quarter of a mil burning a hole in your pocket?
Unless you can get a sweetheart deal, that's going to very likely be the price of admission unless you're dealing with Indies like I've been doing. Seriously.
You have to put up a royalty payment, as often as not, ranging from $20k-500k to get the rights to get a glimpse of the code.
You have to pay someone either a wage or offer them a decent chunk of the proceeds as a percentage.
You then have to do the porting work. Sometimes this is easy. Sometimes it's brutal for varying reasons. Some of it's poor code. Some of it is just simply...complex.
Then you've got to push it off to the duplicators. This is another somewhat complex aspect of things. You need to gauge the demand of the title and do at least a first production run of the gold master that will be enough to make your production and packaging costs reasonable. You owe that up-front. Depending on your royalty structure, you'll either owe the royalties per copy (and there's one there...) up front, or you'll owe it later on. This is how Loki ended up owing iD a quarter million on that disastrous rollout of Q3:A. (Loki did something iffy from what I'd been told at the time from people on the inside- they cranked out more than 10k units, which is where the $250k iD was owed came from...). If you produce more than about 2-6k units of the title, you can be out a LOT of money. Produce less than 5k units, though, and you have to raise your prices a bit to offset costs that're there on the low end for production, etc.
Once you've got your units, you've got to SELL them.
She's right- unless you're REALLY good, you're going to need all of the things she's talking to- and MOST of us over here won't have them.
I view the only shame being that the state engines are going to be closed source blobs. It seems that NOBODY out there in the embedded/mobile space has the forethought to open things up a bit. First one to open up an ES/VG/etc stack on their GPU will gain a lot of design wins, based on what my clients in the past have indicated.

Better to leave a rotting corpse on the yardarm as a message to those that would try this stupidity again at a later date.
No they haven't. They made a promise to open it and have opened PARTS of it- but they haven't opened it a month ago.

Depends on the profile more than anything else. And it's not hardware in the normal sense for most of them- they're using a DSP based codec.
