Microsoft has over 80% the desktop market and that won't change. They dictate the desktop market as they always have. They push business to update their desktops and servers wares, and there is no choice but to comply.
if human life depends on something, I only want the most competent with no consideration whatsoever being given to "diversity". That's racism to promote the less competent over the most merely to fulfill a quota.
indeed that turtle looks like a certain model of crossbow not a firearm, if I saw its outline on a T-ray scanner at an airport that passenger would be up against the wall getting frisked
plenty of weather caused accidents really are the driver going "too fast for conditions."
My family and their acquaintances have people that love old cars and drive them, 30-60 years old vehicles, and never heard of axle breaking. I've seen that on newer cost reduced crap cars though....
not quite true, heating sufficiently can break chemical bonds. For example, a well known consequence of working around military radar equipment is higher than average rate of tumors in eye and testicles.
the word literary came from a person in government whose job it was to uphold public morals and remove material. censorship is an act of government.
businesses ought to be able to sell what the owners choose, anything else is evil and tyranny.
"morally reprehensible", that's a matter of someone's opinion only
your story about flu shots and pregnant women is laughable, maybe you valiantly let the pregnant woman get the shot, and then go to infect ten other pregnant women at work.
Er, you might want to check actual statistics before talking about how safely humans drive. Also, how many Uber cars with human drivers have killed and maimed?
only governments censor. businesses don't have to sell a particular type of book if they don't want to, or they can choose to put it under the counter until a customer someone goes "wink wink nudge nudge knowwhatimean"
Your definition of "responsible" is rejected. No one has to abide by it. The flaws in Intel's tech has been known for a couple decades and they only move if their butt is metaphorically kicked, and even then they spend weeks just foundering rather than really fixing.
The major vendors are unworthy of such consideration. Assume the bad guys already know the exploit, that's the proper security mindset.
I'm amused you imagine either of those are more secure in any way, the same exploits *proven* to cross VMs work just as well on those. Guess the marketing droids count you as an effective market
It's more fun to post in forums than emails for me.
I wasn't talking about free will at all, just a known phenomenon about myself that the block model doesn't cover. It explains my existence but not my perception of a present as an observer moving through space-time towards the future.
We have two very useful but incomplete models, GR and quantum field theory. Neither of them explain everything, and the two are irreconcilable thus far. Neither explains a perceived "now. Yes I've studied them both, required for physics degree. Yet neither of those has any mechanism for explaining the observer's "now" in the static block model of the universe and it's a known problem.
That's just a model which may be false. The block model is incomplete because it does not account for the advancing position of the "now" that each observer has moving from past to future.
"The laws of physics" are just various man-made models, all of them are known to be incomplete or false.

shipping numbers for 2017 don't back your assertiions.
468 million tablets
271 million pc and laptop
2,100 million phones
mobiles devices win. tablets win. most people want that, don't need laptop nor pc

open source software is one thing.
open source hardware means designed by tools and methodologies years behind the state of the art and lower performance.

indeed manslaughter convictions have been made for tampering with or removing road signs; existing law covers this

Cell phones obviously can heat tissue, a little.
well those DRM CDs were a pain...

false, if it does everything the person wants to do than any extra money or capability is just a waste.
sorry, throw out the truck drivers and redo it.

they're thicker than a tablet, weigh more (twice as much) and cost more

real exploits of that situation are rare
Better than inventing unnecessary nonsense and harming others because of belief in it.

Nonsense, each observer has a "now". In fact, that's all they have.
When the MRI machine looks like its breathing, some find it funny, others panic.
Your model is flawed, it doesn't account for a present moment.
The did just that in the animated star trek series, to restore prematurely aged officers. Hilarious.
