Within a single filesystem, yes. This has been the basic function of the "mv" command since Ken Thompson was a wee sprout.
As is made painfully clear in TFA, and not so clear in the summary, this failure occurs in inter-FS moves. You know, the eternal "copy to new place, delete from old place" thing. The one that always has had an implied "delete from old place only if the copy to new place completed successfully." Which Apple somehow forgot.
Blame is still transferable in this case. C'mon, we've all seen it done.

Well, I'm 58 and my son (18) has threatened a facial tattoo if I do join
What, you're not gonna let him threaten to tattoo you and get away with it, are ya?
Oh. Never mind.
Meh. My 18-YO threatens me with that and I'll laugh into his not-yet-tattooed face. I won't be paying for the tat, and if Mr. Rocket Science wants to inflict that much pain on himself, why not? Stupidity is its own reward.
BTW, I'm not 50 yet. And I decline to join a social network. I've already got a perfectly-good antisocial network going on, thank you.
It's not illegal if a corporation is doing it. Or The President (same thing). Or the CIA. Or if the Attorney General or Secretary of Homeland Defense say it's OK.

There's a phrase that's rattled around in my (mostly empty) head. It was used in some piece of literature I read a mammal's age ago, describing the nature of such a person. In lieu of, or in addition to, what we've been calling "smarts".
That phrase seemed to perfectly capture the essence of such a person.
Yuck. You'd be dead of dehydration in a huge puddle of your own precious bodily fluids. That's one set of death scene photos I'd never ever ever wanna see.
Of course it does. Any IP communications which uses a name rather than an IP number is using some type of name resolution. Since the real question posed by this situation is "has this domain name been registered", you can't answer it without consulting with the domain name resolution system. And that is either a WHOIS query at a registrar or a name resolution check through a DNS, either incidental (ping my.foobar.foobaz.org) or intentional (dig my.foobar.foobaz.org).
And I have doubts about using DNS to verify it anyways. Domains aren't hosts; the domain "foobar.foobaz.org" might have many host names within it (such as "my", mentioned above), but you can't guarantee that you can guess them. Yah, www.foobar.foobaz.org seems like a likely place, but if I'm front-squatting the foobar.foobaz.org domain, I may not host a site at that address. (Of course, I'd be an idiot not to, since hits on that site make measuring interest in the domain easy, and I can aways linkfarm or upload drive-by malware for a bounty.)
That's not a very good technical objection. Almost any network-aware operating system can assign multiple "virtual" IP addresses to a single physical interface. If you change your network stack over to the "IP Name" scheme, it'd be no real difference.
I'm not saying that direct name->machine mappings would be a good idea, only that it's technically feasible.
I certainly wouldn't want to write the routing algorithms for non-hierarchical variable-length addressing schemes.
A more massive helicopter won't necessarily have a smaller "frontal area" with respect to atmospheric freefall than a Wright Flyer would, unless the rotors fold and the Flyer's wings don't.
The only areas in which the relative weight of the contraptions matter would be (A) likelihood of lift surface failure (a heavier airframe might make rotor or wing failure more likely), and (B) impact energy given equivalent freefall impact speed. And the latter only matters for whatever the aircraft is falling onto; for occupants, the part that matters is their own mass and impact speed (in the classic kinetic energy relation).

However, instead of storing simply a 0 or a 1, that cell could hold a 00 or a 01
Mebbe it's just me, but "00 or 01" is no different than "0 or 1" except that it takes up twice as much space because of a (useless) leading zero.
There must be some point to this breakthrough, otherwise we need to expecting a massive spin-up in the magnetic core industry.

that's a pretty unattractive combination of personality traits our lawmakers have going on.

I like it.
Hey, it embiggens the English languafaction. Give it a chance.
Kind of like audiophiles, but with technical competence and objective benchmarking tools.
I dunno, I always thought the "max res, max AA, max framerate" crowd was more akin to dB drag racers than audiophiles.
Huh. That's a good phrase: "FPS drag racers"
Yes.
