  1. Why not just make hydogen then combine it with H20 and some C02 and make some hydrocarbons? I hear those work great in jets.

    So reduce X. Hydrogen is pretty light, perhaps it or Helium could be used as some form of "lifting gas", then only forward locomotion would be powered by solar. A solar collector could be used to boil water to turn a turbine and thus spin propellers. This steam airship could one day transport goods and passengers.

    Not true.
    On a nexus device you unlock the bootloader and then you can flash an image with su.

    Only on bootloader locked devices is the situation what you describe.

    You can't check code into the Kernel repo either. There are always gatekeepers.

    You can do whatever you want with it. Upgrading hardware will be hard, but porting other nix should be fairly straight forward.

    Light aircraft likely would not damage your house if they hit it. Airplanes are pretty fragile.

    They also sell a decent number of AMD CPUs in servers as well. For some work loads they make sense.

    Put as few Americans in harms way as possible.

    That's some mighty fine short term thinking there. Besides what are soldiers for if not for putting in harms way?

    Drone strikes will not save us, a nice Marshall plan type setup would though.

    ZFS has not already been debugged on linux. Is there even a non-FUSE ZFS implementation for linux?

    I am not sure everything has to be done in one step. Do one thing and do it well. This holistic idea is nice in concept but often leads to the windows outcome. Not much gets done and what gets done is not that great if at any point "just works" just doesn't.

    Hopefully BTFS will conquer this.

    Blame SUN, they choose a license for ZFS to ensure it never had proper in kernel linux support. They did that because Linux was eating their lunch and still is.

    Bugs happen. The difference here is that Linux development is done in the open so people find out about them.

    I have no windows machines. I have no interest in having any.

    I do not have any gaming-only machines either. I have one workstation I occasionally game on using a mix of native games and WINE. It only has a GTX460, a phenom 2 and a SSD. I will probably build a better machine if the Steam for linux thing takes off. As I use the closed Nvidia driver I am no where near Stallman.

    Nvidia driver seems to work fine for me.
    From what I have seen L4D2 runs pretty well, or is that too old?

    I am not arguing about what features you or I or anyone else need, but basic design principles. Like you might not know enough to care that windows lacks proper package management, but that does not mean that it is not a serious failing.
