Patents using features that had been used in other products years before I'll note. What Apple really "invented" were the realization that style is more important than utility. IMHO of course (well not the patent part).
Of course they can be. The Gillette design uses a specific construction to make an easy to manufacture, easy to use (attach, detach) and reduced complexity connector. Really like the design, not the company.
So what was hacking once about? Horse riding? No, of course not. Being a hack? Nah. Doing something clever? Perhaps. Doing a thing that is clever, never breaking laws, rules or entering a grey-zone while doing that thing? Have _never_ been. Ditto but not disturb, destroy or cause problems? Perhaps but even that is doubtful.
Being a script-kiddie implies not needing to know how to do the work instead relying on pre-packaged tools (but even that can require skills) however someone that circumvent security in order to gain access to a system is very likely using a hack or more likely a chain of hacks - and they are hackers. You may claim they don't share the "hacker ethics" whatever those are. But then why is someone that breaks rules to gain access to a computer not following the ethics while someone breaking rules to gain access to a locked room does?

That doesn't help as you just change the search direction creating a problem with the same complexity.
What you should do is enumerate all places the thingy can be and select a place randomly until the thingy is found. Statistically the thingy will be found in 1/2 the time!
Yes but the two filesystems in question aren't the same (while clearly related). The INDEXF.SYS file is located in the MFD (Master File Directory), the NTFS MFT combine several types of metadata that is located in the MFD as separate files. The name is derived from the Files-11 design but changed as it no longer is a directory.
One could argue that Unix uses "magic" filenames everywhere - devices are mapped to filenames and most modern systems map almost everything internal as files. Windows NT doesn't map devices to files by default but a few are mapped into the Win32 subsystem to keep backwards compatibility, those things aren't files per se but emulated so that they can be treated as files - hence the "magic" nature of them.
The MFT file isn't "magic" BTW, this is a locking problem at worst or not a problem at all if one likes the original Unix security philosophy. One have to have the access rights to be able to lock up the system...
The safest drug is nitrous oxide. The only documented medical problem for the drug itself is reduced B12 levels but only on (for most people) unrealistic levels of use. The number of users seeking medical help associated with the drug use are extremely small.
There are associated problems like people getting frostbites due to incompetent handling of compressed gas and people suffocating due to inhaling too little oxygen but neither of those are a problem with the drug itself.
Nitrous have a very short lasting mild disassociative and calming effect that most tolerates well.
But it can trigger psychosis that leads to death. Marijuana addicts* can have other social and/or economical problems or even (though less common than for heavy drug users) become criminals in order to get more drugs.
Playing games can require intelligence, Go is one game that have been used as an example of a game where standard approaches of computer solving fail.
Go have no strict rules, yes there are some basic rules describing player moves however just applying them doesn't play a good game. The game itself isn't just a few strict rules, the game are those strict rules interacting on a board where the rules interact to make a extremely complex system with essentially infinite rules. That means a computer playing Go have to use strategies similar to those human players do as representing the system as a set of rules is simply impossible.
A few strict rules doesn't mean a computer can easily solve them, in fact in some cases computers can't solve them at all. Look at the halting problem.
Computers doesn't love anything unless they have feelings. Are you trying to disprove your own argument?
Why isn't it intelligence? Your use of a simple rule (computers aren't intelligent) while not understanding the system (the problem you are arguing against) isn't intelligent, I can admit that. Note I'm not saying you aren't intelligent but in this case there aren't any logical arguments at all.
Really? How about not making up new crappy catch-all strange things one can think of and adding it to something else in order to "gain" support for whatever you just added? Because LGBT are already a description that cover it all when it comes to sexual identity. Adding anything more is going from a technical description to a social description (behavior etc.).
Yes the women wanted to force Mr. Assange to have a test. How is that relevant? Even if neither of the women involved in this case wanted to press rape charges (not true!) the circumstances as described were consistent with two counts of rape and therefore the Police had the duty to investigate the case as a rape case rather than a sexual misconduct case.
The rest of your post isn't worth answering in particular as you post anonymous.
First your claim that this goes against Swedish policy is bunk.
The more the actual case details are leaking out (well they aren't really "secret" however they aren't directly released to public either) the more obvious it is that this is about real rape not as some (including me) thought just technically rape. The allegations are that women that agreed to have sex with a condom were being fucked - while sleeping - without a condom. If that's true (and remember that there were two similar complaints from two women giving this significant support) then it is 100% rape, no ifs or buts, not sexual misconduct but a case of someone willingly taking advantage of someone else not capable to consent.
Mr. Assange can rot on English soil in the jail of his own choosing.
That's the truth? I'm talking about physical differences and not social behavior patterns. Just because people tend to attribute personality feature X to gender Y the actual hardware isn't much involved in this. Partially because the same behavior is viewed as something different depending on a man or a woman is the one doing it, partially because people try to conform to the stereotypes they have learned are "natural". Guess what? Those stereotypes change with time while the actual hardware (the human body) doesn't (on the same time scale).
There are differences of course but the fact remains it is limited, partially caused by sexual hormones and partially by differentiation when growing up. The first is possible to influence medically while the later is small (masculine males with "female" brain features and vice versa aren't uncommon) and there are indications transsexuals do have at least partially the features of their perceived gender.
I've known people that thought transsexuals were homosexual males that tried to lure poor straight people to have sex with them as a kind of planned gayification. Now if they had been idiots without any logical ability it could be accepted as yet another crazy idea... But they weren't idiots. Well, not in other aspects.
Black & white worldview... You know that's an indication of a personality disorder*?
In fact there's little difference between men and women _excepting_ the sexual organs themselves and people without functioning sexual organs aren't that uncommon. Just because you don't understand something doesn't make your crappy ramblings true.
(* well it _is_ true but most people like that are simply either idiots or assholes)

Everyone know Nubians were Caucasians... idiot.

What exactly shouldn't be legal?
I'm all for the silent majority making their voices heard. Could make it harder for politicians to make stupid claims of support...

That's true. No real magic filenames in Unix - except perhaps magical simplicity? :P

Master File Table. Look at the VMS design, realize that Windows NT was primarily designed by ex-VMS people and be enlightened.

(* yes one can get addicted to marijuana)
And with "Trump" I guess exaggerate and knowingly lie? Because that's what you just did...
"Left" or right - US politics is generally fucked up, US morals is generally fucked up. Just shut up and swallow.

Could we modulate the polarity?
Well I've been known to frequent /b in the past. It isn't as good anymore but as we all know /b/ was never good...
