The US got dragged kicking and screaming into science by WW II. The Cold War sustained that. Now that this is over, thank $DEITY we can all get rid of this science nonsense and focus on the important things like power, money and religion.
I have a feeling the Mexican government has a problem admitting that its own troops can't handle the situation. And what makes you think that what didn't work in Afghanistan will work in Mexico? You can't stem large scale societal deterioration with military force.
Since Mexican society is deteriorating (depleted oil resources, no will to fix the political system), people do what they have to do to survive and feed their kids. It's been stated by a number of people that the narco gangs are the best-organized groups to take over when the system starts to fail. Police is no longer much of a factor and the military is the last bastion. For how long?
The basic premise was always that it doesn't need a checking utility and they're only writing one, reluctantly it seems, because people want one. My system has crashed hard a few times from doing naughty things and the FS never even complained during mount.
btrfs has been very stable for me since 3.1 - with RAID10 at least. Sometimes it feels a little slower than ext4 but overall it works well (4x 3TB in RAID10, 3.1TB in use, 1.3M files right now.)
Zero friction is: as soon as it occurs to them they want the book, it magically appears in their hand.
Sounds like P2P to me. This way of thinking worked soo well for the music industry. The publishers will go the way of the Dodo if they don't recognize the change of the times. Amazon shows how it's done, as usual. Hey Harper-Collins, you could have significant ebook sales too (which would make up for reduced revenue per sale) - if you wanted.
Samsung doesn't seem to give a shit about publicity. They want to become another Sony. I considered buying a Samsung LCD monitor... until I read about the quality of their customer service.
I have converted all of my systems to XFCE. It feels like an older, simpler and leaner Gnome to me and some of the applets even have better functionality.
...against my work, which consists of hacking to some extent - figuring out the arcane properties of software components to debug them and make them work?
Nonsense. The probability of failure is 100%. Failure rate is the derivative of failure probability with respect to time: dp/dt, typically expressed as failure probability per year, or annualized failure rate, AFR. Since that's an unwieldy slow number, everybody uses its inverse, MTBF, expressed in hours.
You need to brush up on your disk drive history. Quantum sold its disk drive division to Maxtor which was acquired by Seagate, which is still independent. IBM sold its disk drive division to Hitachi which is in the process of being acquired by WD.
I have a number of American coworkers who obviously didn't pay attention in school and learned (wrong) English from the Internet. Although English is my 3rd language I had 7 years of English in school and I did pay attention. The difference is that I process English with a different part of my brain than native speakers so I stumble over those errors all the time, as opposed to the natives who don't even notice them. I get abused for proofreading all the time although it's not my job.

Before WW II, science happened in Europe, end of story. None of the names you mention is an eminent scientist. Engineers, yes.
No, it's because he must be permanently brain damaged from that job.
Oh noes! Paleo snuff pr0n!

Failure rate of disk drives in consumer environments is about 3%/year. With N drives you'll see N*3% failures per year. You do the math.

Flammable liquids or gases right in your lap. What could possibly go wrong?
How much is that in nanofortnights?
Ah, you beat me to it. Great minds think alike.
Just wondering.

As long as nobody is willing to pay for that quality and support it's indeed a losing proposition.
RAID6 with regular background verify corrects that issue.

Reliability of SSDs sucks compared to HDs.

That's why Ubuntu users are flocking to Mint.
