You must read the claims to find out what a patent actually covers. "Making an edible substance based on derivatives of farming" is just part of a description.

At the cost of how many hundred thousand South Korean (and possibly Japanese) lives?

Nonsense is right. 100 years ago was 1909. Aircraft were doing 40+mph. The land speed record was 125.94mph. A steam engine did 60mph in 1848. In 1893 a passenger train exceeded 112mph. By 1909 passenger trains routinely exceeeded 50mph.
This thing takes weeks to prepare. It's a sitting duck for a cruise missile and with all that warning plus knowledge of the exact time and place of the launch probably an easy target for ABMs from the Aegis ships. They have shorter range missiles that are mobile and more flexible that still have enough range to be a threat.
I agree that it is just standard boilerplate but it's still inappropriate. Considering what Google must have spent writing Chrome it's hard to see why they wouldn't spend just a bit more to have an appropriate EULA written.

On Linux or Unix it won't.

I've done this uncounted times with no problem. The postinst script restarts the daemon if required. It's completely transparent to me as user.

Not as official architectures.
If they were going to lie wouldn't you expect them to say the test was a success so that they could get ABM funding?
In any case, I don't think that there is anyone with the resources to provide your verification that doesn't have a "vested interest".
Except that according to the reports there was no explosion: just a seperation failure.

Yawning and saying "Not a threat"? Now, if the Japanese had tried to shoot it down and failed...
What is new is that Debian/FreeBSD is now an official architecture.
Not an official architecture.
It just became an official port. That is what is news.

Not so bad. If all you say is true in the end they will pay you quite a bit of money (including all your legal expenses).

Only the newsies supposed that it was going to "detonate".
With relativity time and space are pretty much the same thing.
Right. At about one G acceleration you can reach any point in the universe in a few years of ship time.
Why make the ship tiny?
What the hell are "public order issues"?

Whereas the new English concept would appear to be "Your freedom ends where your nose ends." Or maybe a bit before.
Might scare off the burglars, too.
