a software consulting firm, running and pushing Linux.
The workstations running Linux were a major pain keep updated. It seemed like whenever packages updated, at least one of the projects would break and someone would spend an hour or two fixing the problem.
Great advertising for your business there.
I've been running and developing on Linux since the 1.2 kernel days. And I've never had any major problems. Occasionally, a pre-packaged Linux machine comes with (or without) some oddball components that I either need or don't want. But I usually load my own machines from well known distros so I'm in control of my environment. How can anyone expect to support the Linux platform and/or apps without being familiar with the implications of different distributions and vendor tweaks?
I suspect that these apps don't actually record audio. They detect the unique embedded signatures (audio watermarks, etc.) and just forward that data to their servers. This may or may not be legal. But it has yet to be court tested.
... some sort of interaction between filter/power factor capacitors in the new substation and the inductive reactance of the tracks and distribution system. Transients caused by the inherent imperfect third rail to car contacts causes a ringing (oscillation) in the system which, with the new substation on line, happens to be on or near a frequency that some of the rolling stock motor controllers don't like.
Throw some power quality analyzers on various sections of the track and watch the system's transient voltage response with power sources in various configurations.
I'm guessing that the less honest manufacturers will start pushing out engine parameters to de-tune older model cars. So you bought that high performance sports sedan and now it's gutless? Time to trade it in on a new model.
You are forgetting the third option: Just drop it. The shooters are dead. Anyone who assisted them who has half a brain will have left the country by now. Plans and targets will be changed.
Another bin I have to haul out to the curbside every week. Worse yet, they'll make us sort it first. Perl goes in the green one, C++ in the blue (please remove and discard templates first), VB goes in with the compost.
I cannot tell you the name of the company I worked for, but perhaps you can figure it out from the hints.
Umm. Boeing?
Read Turbulence: Boeing and the State of American Workers and Managers. A good analysis of employee surveys and statistics collected at that company which pretty much illustrate the same points you made. Particularly stress related health problems. The sooner you get out of that company, the longer you'll live.

FlashBlock, maybe?
Perhaps. I don't even have Flash installed*. That may be why I get popped.
*Most porn sites have gone to HTML5 by now. So I can't find a reason for having Flash anymore.
And then they hit you up for the optional extended warranty.
Covers you for parts and labor beyond the current administration's term.
Why is handing over the source code a bad thing?
Because of all the "Fuck the FBI. Fuck the NSA." comments in it.
I'm lying down on the job. It's the only safe alternative. And now I have studies to back me up what the boss asks.

And now they suspend conjugal visits. There's going to be a riot.
... I welcome our voyeuristic overlords.
I think it's the British

I seriously doubt we'll see bugs that take safety levels back to those of the 1970s
Yes we will. Because when the ABS, stability control, automatic braking fails and drivers have come to depend on it, thing will get ugly fast.

driving an older car seriously compromises your safety.
But it's my safety. I'll compromise it if I want. If I'm not permitted to, I'll just ride my motorcycle.
Unless you bought your car from Sony
I thought it was just a joke
So the options are

Just walk away, FBI.
That would ruin my uptime statistics.

We'd better call Steven Seagal
You go ahead and call Seagal. I'm calling Erika Eleniak.
