If you have 900MB of 'normal' data on a 1GB encrypted volume, you can only have a 100MB hidden partition. If you mount it, it will show up as having 100MB free space, thus your OS will tell you "lol, you suck" if you try to copy a 200MB file.

The thing is that they did copy the text and said "this is mine, I created this", thus you stole the attribution. This does not happen when you send an mp3 to a friend.
Of course you can, just that a vehicle optimized for both land and air won't be as efficient on land as a vehicle that did not have to take air transportation in mind. If you optimize for land and air, you can still leave out things like optimizing for space travel, water travel, underground travel etc.
Just imagine the lawsuits when the flying car computer malfunctions, and the driver has no idea how to fly
Shouldn't be much different from the lawsuits from when a pilot, or the security regulations on a regular jet malfunctions. You as a passenger does still not have any means to operate the regular jet, and can do nothing but wait for a crash landing. Same thing with a life support machine.
weigh much more
Yes, at the moment, that's not a rule though. A bird weighs less than a mammal of similar size.
If 2 cars hit, they hit and then the stop.
And the 5 cars behind crashing in full speed into the pile, something that doesn't happen in the air.
Otherwise, you have some good points. However, they can easily be applied to cars. Cars are much more dangerous than horses. If a horse malfunctions, it won't crash into a building. Horses weigh less than a car, travels at a lower speed, is much more fuel efficient, etc. When you crash with a care, chances are very high that it's lethal. Crash with a horse, and the chances of dying are much lower.
This is why we don't call them flying cars, and why people in general don't own helicopters. I merely used it as en example of airborn vehicles that does not need a landing strip.
Another example could be a balloon, a rocket, or a bird.
A flying car, much like a land-locked car, does not use any power when staying on ground. There's no need to stay in the air unless you are actually moving somewhere.
Not only is there this issue of requiring a landing strip
A helicopter does not need any.
Something optimized for good flying won't do very well on the land.
If it flies it does not need to work on land.
Something optimized for good flying and land operation would do very well on both.
you'll be using a lot more of it to stay in the air, maybe two or three times as much.
Emphasis maybe. An average car 40 years ago maybe used two or three times as much as an average car today.
because there's a lot to learn about flying that's not needed in order to drive a car.
Legacy and irrelevant. A modern small plane does not need a pilot, and can be fully automated.
damage in crashing a car is trivial compared to the damage you can do in a small plane
Crashing in high speed into another car: Both drivers die, people in the vicinity get hurt. Crashing in high speed into another small plane: Both drivers die, people in the vicinity get hurt. Safety will increase by magnitudes when you are not restricted to driving in an almost 1-dimensional space, but rather have full access to the air.
How come? Do you think it's likely that he will murder someone else?
You actually want to end a persons life, with no means what so ever to undo your judgment if it happens that these circumstantial evidence are proven wrong?
Ubuntu, debian, whatever, there are plenty to chose from. Just saying that they don't need to develop their own OS since there are a lot of GNU/Linux distributions out there to just use for free.
They would have to invest massively in developing and maintaining a OS
Thousands of people have been working for over 20 years to create a perfectly fine operating system which is completely free for them to take and customize. If they want to support the customization, they can give it back to the main tree and let the community maintain it.
Apparently you didn't understand what we are talking about here, and what the parent argued.
The SI-prefix G has always been 1,000,000,000. When you buy a hard drive with one gigabyte of storage capacity, it will always have a little bit more than this, due to cylinders/sectors/platters rounding. When they sell a hard drive with 500 gigabyte, it will have slightly more than 500,000,000,000 bytes. No one is trying to fool anyone here.
Now, if you go to the store and want to buy one gigagram of sugar, you expect to get no less than 1,000,000,000 grams. Anything else would be cheating. But when you go to the store and want to buy one gigabyte of storage, you suddenly expect to get a lot more?
Stopping spyware would be great, but if I were you ('you' as in 'citizen of the united states') I would read any proposed laws on how to stop these people very carfeully before jumping up and down of joy.
If the new laws wouldn't be outright hostile to your freedom to use the internet and your computer from the start, they might possibly be easily modified to become that in the future.
What you seemed to miss with this story is that it is impossible to rate something like a game with such a high precision. If a game gets 85% or 88% doesn't mean anything at all, and is just unfair to the game that randomly got 85, since a lot of people (like you), think that one can measure a gaming experience down to a precision of 1/100.

That's why I got my Thinkpad, it has such nice and sharp edges. I'm a wuss so I got the ultraportable though, doesn't weigh that much. :/
Uhm, the point here being that they have already passed step 1, 2, and is now doing 3.

How would you know, if you don't have an account?
Or maybe you're just being grumpy because people think you're an asshole and mod you down, thus posting as AC gives you a higher starting score?
