...And if you don't replace it with any other OS...
Or, write your application in such a way that it doesn't require any operating system at all. Write and include your own device and I/O drivers, include them in the app. Boot up directly to the application. An OS isn't necessary to run a lump of code. Yes you'll be duplicating a lot of work and at great expense, but if you had a need to secure your system that tightly, you could conceivably justify omitting such frippery as a "start" button, a browser, or a file directory UI. And if security needs to be that tight, you can afford a dedicated computer to run it. Besides, you generally don't want to run anything else on a machine that is nailed to the floor with regard to security.
The reasonable question I would ask is "What is the complete impact of stricter gun laws on crime."
Glad to oblige! Here's a scientific study done by the Australian government to determine the result of the crackdown on firearms possession post-Port Arthur massacre. It's got numbers in it, and the statistical determination is all well laid out for you.
Prawns? Barramundi, mate. Godzone. And a decent beer to wash it down. None of that American sex-in-a-canoe swill. (And feeding Americans Fosters Lager is a bit like those nomads seeing if they can get you to eat a camel eye. It's a joke, not a brew.)
The "Troll" mod above is incorrect. It's a reasonable argument that merely offended someone of the opposite view. I ran out of mod points. Posting here in an attempt to correct it.
Here in Australia, there is a fairly broad definition for "Assault". Verbal attempts to cause harm, i.e. standover tactics, yelling at people who are vulnerable, etc. someone doing that would be done for Assault. It's real, there's a substantial penalty, it's treated pretty much the same as a punch in the jaw, and it keeps people polite. Is there anything similar in the USA? Punish them for assault, not hate speech.
It's like -- don't try to have someone done for rape, have them done for indecent exposure. Less troubling for the victim, waaay more trouble for the assailant in prison and after. One is backed up by a macho criminal culture, the other is mocked by that same peer group. It's in the spin.
I don't think they want to deny the Westboro people free speech, I think they just want to kick their butts for annoying the grieving. They're different things.
When building a honeycomb structure, is it possible to close over an air gap without building up a structure beneath? i.e. how do you put a lid on over an empty space?

You can recognize a profit but can you profit a recognition?
Not all truths are transitive, but transitive truths aren't always either.
Sometimes, subtlety is overrated.

Your own website, with disclaimers, e.g. "Not affiliated with that coffee-nosed, malodorous pervert who is trading on my name as www...tld"
Ready yourselves. You will be upgraded.

For us Australians, nothing says cultcha like FDOTM.
Unquestionably Girl Genius for me.
Besides, the Castle just went "clack"...
One of these days these hands are gonna punch all over you.
Nancy!
Pick a soft spot to punch, not the head. If you need to hit them in the head, use a utensil.
Yes, but will he look after my pet?

Still talking about large centralised power plants, are we?
I'll put my money behind decentralised power. In fact, I already have ... 3.5kw PV system just installed on the roof.
Cogeneration units for at-home are also gaining popularity, particularly in Germany and Spain. Whispergen.

...I wonder if we could ever get something like that in the United States? Haha, I'm just kidding... I know we can't...
Fire all the MBAs. Or, at least, insist they have some grounding in ethics as part of their curriculum.
The implications of this treatment would be clearer if they identified which animals they used as guinea pigs.

Is a right hook protected under the 2nd Amendment?

Not everything has a Constitutional basis.

Won't that void the warranties?
Deduct at least 10 points for the phrase "moving forward".
BOFH, the whole series. From managing HR to selecting your boss, it's all there.
Then where did your god come from?
The Winslow. It has always been there.
