My reluctance with BSD is the lack of "rich entertainment"
I use netbsd on my servers and some workstations. The lack of a rich environment is a defence against PEBAK. The problem is selling it to the users.
Done properly, the users would need to specify up front exactly what they want their system to do, so that a solution could be designed from those requirements. A lot of the time these days, secure communication is a prime requirement and BSD can certainly provide that.
I am a netbsd user myself, and this is probably what I would suggest too. But netbsd is designed towards portability ahead of other requirements. Openbsd is more targeted at security. Is it possible that openbsd would be a better choice in this instance?
In this case does having a copy of the game entitle you to use the servers? Maybe they should charge for the service and use the revenue to expand their server farm.
There isn't an operating system on the planet that can protect you (or itself) from fraudulent user activity.
Yes you are right, but I think it would be possible for the kernel to keep an eye on network activity by certain executables, and to inform the user that the activity is happening.
So if your word processor starts behaving like a web browser (connecting to lots of different hosts) you should be able to say "don't allow that". Not a complete solution, I know, but worth doing when you have users who are their own worst enemy.
Automate them with artificial intelligence and give them defocused temporal perception so that they're always ready to pick you up even before you know you wanted one.
Make the interior stainless steel and have it go through an internal wash and rinse cycle at the conclusion of every trip as there will always be people excreting various unwanted solids, fluids, and gases inside.
This has been happening for centuries. What happened to all the messenger boys in our offices? Where did all the typists go? Over 50 years we will adapt.
This might work in the lab, but when robots are working alongside seasonal farm laborers, those poor robots are going to break down real fast, get run over by heavy farm machinery, and just plain disappear under mysterious circumstances.
The robots are definitely going to need to form a union to take care of their welfare.
You know, most people who go to the garden supply store and claim to be growing "tomatoes" are actually growing a completely different kind of consumable. Could this lead to fully automated pot farms?
That could result in a lot of robots going to jail.
I am betting they had the new version ready to go and held it back because they were afraid of regression. When it became apparent they had to go forward they decided to take the risk. Thats why it only took three weeks.
IMHO, the problem is at least in part that Detroit car companies have been overpaying employees for decades, but it has not been obvious. This overpayment has been hidden in retirement benefits that are only sustainable if the big three keep at the same levels of revenue and profits.
You forgot a a major part of the system. It doesn't start at the batteries. It starts and the power plant
No it starts before the power plant, where coal and/or uranium is dug from the ground and solar/wind power plants are constructed. But you have to do that for the oil industry as well to make a valid comparison.
Protection goes beyond trade laws. Low fuel costs in the US lead to a taste for cars with high fuel consumption. Cars became generally affordable in the US decades or more earlier than in other countries with the result that US consumers demand a totally different type of car from people in other countries.
These factors tend to isolate the US car market from the rest of the world regardless of specific trade restrictions.
Back before they had a graphical installer the normal ubuntu CD would upgrade like that. I don't think it was called the Alternate disk then, but it did behave a lot like the current Alternate disk.
The problem is that noise in the logs makes it hard to find real problems. That and the risk of a bug in openssh or openssl, though the current environment is a pretty good test for the software.

Takes effort to startup the programs that I keep running all the time on it.
Takes more effort to script them so I don't have to spend effort starting them up on every reboot.
Then you should run netbsd.
/etc/rc.conf

Oh great. Now my wife is going to get adverts targeted at my browsing habits. Just what I need.
See if RMS was honest about his goals there would be no security in GNU at all.

Seriously, though, what will they do with the excess heat in summer time?
This is the UK we are talking about. They don't really have a summer.
No, Silent Running.

Share and Enjoy.
But how would you deal with the depressed taxis?
I wonder if you could use it as a rocket to get past traffic jams.

Their mistake was sending Bruce Dern along.
I can't imagine that going down very well in Mumbai.

This could have many uses around airports....
Do you mean for blowing up flocks of birds?

Curse those people, for living too long.

If religion is a pain in the arse then you are doing it wrong.
