At least she didn't start a cult, or become obsessed by writing about why nubile young girls should screw old men and call them "daddy", and yes, I'm looking at you, Heinlein's Grave.
Well, derp a herp derp to you. Of course Lunix installs "depend on your hardware", and that's the problem. Its compounded by cretins who claim that graphics chipset X or WiFi dongle Y "work" with Lunix drivers, using a definition of "work" that reasonable human beings wouldn't recognise. Sure, that dongle will connect to my WLAN just fine... if I don't mind it dropping out every 30 seconds unless I turn off WPA and even WEP.
Don't get me wrong, I'm on SUSE, Red Hat, Ubuntu and Mint all the time, but "depends on your hardware" just isn't good enough for Joe User.
It's all about energy subsidies. These things are fraking energy sinks; we're pouring fossil energy into making them that we'll never see back over their lifetime.
Oh, you'll see calculations to the contrary, but they don't factor in the energy cost of keeping the people in the manufacturing chain alive. And if that doesn't concern you, well, sooner or later the uncaring boot of physics is going to step on your neck and make you care.
I'm sure he'll stamp his authority and re-invigorate the department by immediately setting up a Blue Ribbon committee to come up with the selection criteria for choosing an external consulting firm which will be tasked with planning a review of the mandatory fonts to be used on all internal memoranda.
Well, that's his argument now. Remember, it started out as "Nuh huh, didn't", until it became painfully obvious that uh huh, did. Joel has had exactly the level of representation that he's paid for - none. His, uh, "legal representatives" have successfully defended him from a few thousand dollar settlement all the way into eternal servitude.
Given an appeal to SCOTUS, they might manage to get him renditioned to Guantanamo, although on the bright side, it won't have cost him a cent in legal fees to get there, and they'll get some totally awesome anecdotes to deliver in their Law 101 lectures.
I know it's churlish to discuss the actual content of TFA, but it does note that RIM has got rid of their CEO. Sorry to interrupt, please continue the Slash-sneers.
250 miles of (arguably) the most congested roads in the world being zoned off for use of executives of BMW and McDonalds could finally trigger mass civil disobedience on a scale that's simply too big to suppress. CCTV might ensure that all 'crimes' are detected, but whether they can be punished is another question.
As someone who has met RMS personally (if briefly), I can confirm, without any joking around or (too much) trolling that he is indeed a fat, smelly, angry hippy prophet. Mad love to the guy, but I did wonder at the time how long he could go on like that.
You can bet your bottom ruble that Sukhoi will give some token praise of the pilot's experience and skill, take a very brief pause for breath, then blame him for everything bad that's happened since the Berlin Wall came down, plus everything that goes wrong in the next 6 months as well.
"Self defence" covers a wide spectrum, from running away shrieking like a little girl, through to crippling your attacker using potentially lethal techniques. Larkin is at the throat-punch-for-great-justice end of the spectrum. That doesn't sit well with a Nanny State which (despite occasional noises to the contrary) de facto wants victims to blubber for help rather than take responsibility for their own safety.
As to preaching this message in riot hit areas, those very riots demonstrated how inadequate the Nanny Will Protect You plan is when it kicks off big style, and it comes down to decent householders and business owners versus a pack of ferals. In case you're unclear on it, Larkin wasn't planning to teach the ferals, who simply pick up a knife or brick anyway.
Bear in mind that what they're backtracking on is saying that they're going to install back doors. They don't learn fast, but maybe they catch on eventually.

Don't feel too bad, their writers didn't understand orbital mechanics either.

How else are you going to leverage your cloudsourced synergies and focus your thinkspaces across the board going forward?

He's very careful to call it a "spaceship", not a "starship". The guy is crazy, not canon-ignorant.

It's 2012 - aren't we past this sort of "Only my Department can save you from the eBogeyman - with proper funding" yet?
