Indeed, as usual the press thinks everyone in *.* runs Windows.
And next they update the virus definitions on their iShiny.

After we had an incident with ransomeware and had to quarantine a particular office I asked our IT chief why he didn't use policies to uncheck that stupid Microsoft setting 'hide known extensions'.
After a couple of days he answered that showing extensions would only confuse people.
Scary.

Is this FCC a USA government institution?

I thought the US government was since Ronnie wholly owned by the corporations...
Let us (normal internet users) hope the FCC can get away with this pro net-neutrality policy, level playing field and all that!

The question you ask implies you don't live in a nice or fair world.
I am pretty happy where I live, most of the time our legal system works for the innocent.
If there are too many failures of the legal system we vote in a different legislature.

No we don't believe a first past the post and/or two party system is democratic, our present parliament represents some 11 parties plus 5 independents and they range from the left and right wingnuts to very serious people.

That's exactly the reason you only give your stuff to a licensed or registered company or person.
Would he make a mistake or get into an accident you know you will get your money back.
But it is a trade off, if the unregistered transporter is way cheaper you might consider absorbing the risk yourself.

That's a minor part of it.

The big part is someone needs to absorb the risk involved in this commercial transaction.
I don't know all the details but am pretty sure the driver or the truck's insurance does not cover commercial use based on a private use insurance premium.

There is a difference between working for others and working together.
I believe I know where your arguments are coming from but very few humans can survive on their own.
By design we are achieving best when working and living in concert with others and many cultures have shown that involves more than a simple 10-commandments style government.

What you now mention about this mini-government that builds infrastructure and enforces contracts is pretty much what we have and it is still ballooning because some are always looking for loopholes that then need to be closed again.

We probably agree there are quite a few instances where less government would have it's benefits but then there are as many that using the same 10 commandments see our advantage as their disadvantage.
If you want to increase control of your life you, as a minimum, have to become active in politics because that's where the limits of government are set.

One day you might stop dreaming and wake up in the harsh light of reality.

Aha, so you would rather live in a place where the strong get it all...

I mean, incandescent light bulbs and wasteful flushing is not only affecting your wallet but eventually the well-being of all on this planet.

And that not to consider the loss to the economy when your neighbour falls on hard times.
There are good reasons quality of life is highest in the countries and places with the highest taxes and thus greatest 'common interest'.

And you also mess up MY air.
Fossil fuel has in the form of carbon emission a long term cost and coal has the highest of them all.

Uhhh, There's only one Linux kernel and that's what you were comparing, kernels.
But I do agree with you that the Linux community could do a lot better in vetting source code for vulnerabilities.
But by lack of an itch and/or pay it's going to be hard to find competent analysts.

Ah yes :)

How many are today available to run iOS?

Mass is more important than hardness.

Have a look at the latest Unity, it has come a looong way and just works.

Personally I'm a Kubuntu man and indeed running this shiny KDE5.3 :)
