Aren't installations that aren't the primary one rather harmless? If the browser doesn't link to them and they aren't on your run path, then they are just harmless bits, no? If anything with evil intent on your system had the power to execute them, then it was already game over.
Australia spent a ton of money (figures of 1 billion were rumoured, but may be exaggerated) on an immigration system called GVP, (Generic Visa Processing) and then canned it a couple of years ago because they couldn't make it work properly.
I think only the top of the line "F" Nikons had removable backs anyway. Plus how do you fit in wiring and batteries to make it all work without making it super bulky?
It's a lie to say he ran to China and Russia. Rather he fled the US and accidentally found himself in China and Russia. Neither of which particularly wanted him, and neither of which he particularly wanted to be in.
HP hasn't had interesting product in living memory. The closest they came was buying WebOS and making a tablet, but they couldn't even follow through on that one. I'm not sure there was a future in that anyway, but at least if they'd followed through it would be something to move forward with.
I don't see why databases need millisecond accuracy. And as the previous poster pointed out, the kernel would adjust it slowly so apps wouldn't notice.
The problem is the earth is not consistent. Various factors make the length of a day keep changing by tiny amounts. Now I suppose you could redefine the second continually, but that would be much worse chaos for all the clocks in the world, and it would be chaos for scientists who like to make absolute statements with unchanging measurement units.
They will care about that because my guess is it won't be just law enforcement which starts having these guns. Script kiddies with nothing to do will be making them and attacking drones.
Yeah but, while I guess a lot of data is stored in California the NSA is not headquartered there. So what can the state do if the NSA is disobeying it? That's not so clear to me.
Whether it would be "safer" is a matter of opinion, but the point is the EU wants to do their own spying on their citizens, rather than let the US do it. Like for example when Snowden revealed that the US has been spying on the German Chancellor. That's a big no-no.
It's not actually a "case" surely. It's a situation of where the EU has said, these are the countries we trust with our data, and the US isn't one of them.

There's another option. Some kind of device which spawns new humans when the ship gets to its destination.
I'm not sure what you mean by the end points being insecure. An iPhone is pretty damned secure and hard to bug.
But then China will have the same conundrum: If they ask for it, and are granted it, now the NSA will have the potential mechanism to spy on THEM.
So it's blood money then?

I don't know if the world needs even more unreadable code where people are overriding the basic operator names.

Nonsense. Australia was caught spying recently over negotiations over northern oil fields.
Yes well that's another issue. Are we talking weight for weight or volume for volume?
Let me know when systemd has a good systemd system.
You're not supposed to use monolithic things with microkernels. You can, but it defeats the purpose.

Why????

The ability to add custom syntax.... Because regular perl syntax isn't confusing enough!!
I don't think they thought they could just go on with life after a nuclear hit. Most of them after all would be in Moscow ground zero.
On the internet you are whoever you say you are. Surgery not required.

US companies would still be free to do business in the EU. They would just have to locate their servers in the EU.
