Only when you control the kernel/boot loader. I have a feeling that this will be used a lot by vendors to lock you out of your own devices, e.g. Android phones etc.
I'm as paranoid as the next geek, and the idea of secure boot etc. appeals a lot to me if done correctly. As in, if it's MY device, then I get to decide what runs on it, and no one else. But it's a tool, and as such it can be used both for you and against you. There can't be a technical solution, technology is dumb. We need a legal solution, either in the form of regulation or widespread adoption (and enforcement) of the GPLv3.
Signed modules? Yay for tivoization!
Old people?
In Korea?
Did you work for Oracle???
CD-ROMs? He obviously worked for AOL.
They've added big boobs to the kernel, does that count?
I eat toe cheese too, just in the privacy of my own home.

Right - but I wouldn't use the same name for Rapidshare if I were to create an account there, at least for any shady business. I think you can even find my real name from my usual nickname if you look hard enough, I don't particularly care about that.
Don't get your hopes up about komoot, I tried to use the Android app as a bicycle satnav, but it didn't work too well. OpenRouteService (with OsmAnd) is much better.
This explanation is incomplete, of course, since presumably the uploader is also on the hook for copyright violation, and you have to register an account to upload anything (I think), but there are few uploaders and many downloaders, so the explanation above could still work on average.
Who registers accounts with real personal data?

Only if there's no crack involved.
Woooooooooooosh!
Empty of people. It is a comment on human nature.
In that case, I disagree. If anything can be said about human nature, it's that it isn't static. In a society so thoroughly permeated by violence, of course human nature becomes violent. That doesn't mean it always has to be that way.
I took the GP to mean that without war and violence, life would be empty and dull, implying that conflict makes life worth living.
Empty of war and violence? I'd take that any day over what we have now.
everything you types was wrong
I see what you did there.
It is easier to write an incorrect program than understand a correct one.
