People frequently mistake not giving a shit for ADHD. Two very different things.

"We hate the most in others that which we see in ourselves"

Reflect on that last sentence as pertains to yourself and your initial diatribe.

Sweden, arguably the most gender equal country in the world has found that their men and women *still* gravitate to what are called traditional jobs.

That's not the presence of girls, that's the bias of the teachers. So no, it's not -because of- the girls being there.

He didn't say he felt bad. Can you explain where you got that impression?

That's true, but I see it as a matter of degree. Windows does a lot more, sure, but FreeBSD is still doing some HTTP parsing in a kernel module.

"Even worse, many police and judges buy into this image too." This would fall under the category of false accusation.

"even well meaning officers usually end up" You know this how? My anecdotal evidence from a friend who went through the experience is the the police were very considerate and concerned with her well-being and treated her in an utmost professional manner.

(in which case, accuser or accused, the least popular person is the one who suffers)

I notice you don't provide any stats to back up that bland assertion. The connection of a rape charge (even obliquely) is sufficient to ruin your life. A lot of the damage is done *prior* to being vindicated. Does the innocent party get reimbursed for the loss of time/freedom/property/job/friends/acquaintences? No. It's gone.

Exactly this. I'd like to think that there's an air gap (ahem) between the avionics and passenger networks, and that it's impossible to access the avionics system from the passenger compartment. I'd also like to think it doesn't rely on security through obscurity, like "we run our API server on port 81 instead of port 80, ha-HA!". Come on, Slashdot: we have to have at least one aerospace engineer in here, don't we?

FWIW, I think those are perfectly plausible explanations. I mainly meant wanted to frame the GP's own opinion as a formal test case; that's a copy-and-paste of what he wrote.

That test fails. What if it costs $50 per night for the bunk-bed and the rest is subsidized through external donations?

And if that $200 turns into renting clinic space and buying supplies to provide free medical care to poor children?

My point is that the answer to these questions is never simple, and if you think you've found a simple definition that neatly covers everything, it suggests you're likely missing something.

I don't, and neither can anyone else.

I'm not disagreeing with you, because I think that stuff is disgusting. But. As a programmer, how would you write a function that returns a boolean value: "is this church a legitimate non-profit?" Because that's ultimately what you're asking, and I'm having a hard time formulating such a thing.

Test cases:

* A small-town church with a pastor who has four different congregations: True
* A huge all-glass cathedral, $ multi-million salaries for the charismatic preacher begging for more donations, and toys like private jets and limos: False
* A small local all-volunteer charity that feeds the homeless: True
* A small, all-volunteer, poorly run charity who means well but sucks at their mission: True
* A large national charity with a well-paid CEO who effectively uses their resources to do amazing things: True
* A large national charity with a well-paid CEO who isn't very effective, but everyone agrees means well: True?
* A large national charity with a well-paid CEO who doesn't effectively uses their resources: Um...

Step one: agree on the test cases. Step two: specific the input parameters that lets you distinguish between outcomes. Step three: non-profit?

They probably saw that FreeBSD has been doing it for 15 years and thought it might be a good idea.

Apparently not everyone agrees with that.

I'm in no way a Microsoft apologist, but it's not like a senior engineer rolled out of bed one morning, smoked some crack, and yelled "hey, let's break some crap today!" Lots of stuff is done in kernel mode in Linux and the BSDs - like all kinds of graphical mischief - and MS probably does the same things for the same reasons.
