Apart from manners you mean? I have neighbours, and sometimes when someone is planning a party or going away they let their neighbours know as courtesy. Not because of any legal requirement, but because not all people are selfish jerks.

You don't need to take down the bridge, only the thing on it that is the threat.

Can you rephrase that, this time in English?

I think the only problem will be you trying to find your way out of your parent's basement.

This is it in a nutshell.
Ever since Win3.1, Windows was the General Purpose OS for the masses. Win10 had the opportunity to reclaim this after they lost a lot of ground with Vista and Win8. But it appears they just can't help themselves. All this behaviour from technology companies is turning me off the industry altogether. If I didn't have a mortgage I've give this career away.

History is littered with old people telling the younger generation how they have lost the plot, yet here we all are.
You might find losing your perceived privacy to be the end of the world, but if you are born in this world then why would you care? ( ie the same way people not born in the age of rock n roll, TV, skateboards etc all thought they were the end of the world when they were thrust upon us).

I have a Windows machine, a Mint machine and an Ipad. Unfortunately all the stuff my kids need to know to get a job is based around Apple, Microsoft and Adobe, so Mint never gets used for anything other than Web browsing when the other machines are in use.
We are not coders nor do we plan to be, for us getting stuff done means using what everyone else is using. This seems to get overlooked by OS ideologues, incumbency carries the most weight.

Most of the people who spend the most on PCs actually do need CAD,Office etc. and they are who drive the market.
And since Businesses spend a shit ton more money on PCs than your average punter, whoever owns that space will control the market.

Citation?
Extinction is part of evolution, don't think for one moment that every other species wouldn't kill you if it didn't have the chance.

I'd love to see that argument. If it weren't humans, it'd be whatever the next in line species is. That is how nature operates. In the game of kill or be killed, I prefer to be in the camp of the former, and we need to ensure the game stays that way.

I bought into the Samsung hype, fancy TV, best of breed mobile devices, I even have a Samsung Microwave. But as an owner I find their service to be among the worst I've ever come across. When my phone stopped working, they said it was water damaged and not covered by warranty. After weeks of phone calls and letter writing I had to take them to court to get a replacement. Ironically at about the same time, my daughter's iPod stopped working in a similar manner. 2 minutes in the Apple store they replaced it on the spot despite it having a cracked screen. I still won't own any Apple devices due to their overly restrictive interface, but they know how to treat their customers

Samsung recently pushed out an updated firmware for their LED TVs which breaks Plex, the most popular app for Samsung TVs. This issue is all over the Internet and Samsung's response is deafening silence. They won't roll back or even offer an alternate FW version, customers are left on their own and treated like shit.
I'll never buy another Samsung product no matter how good the specs are. Backup service is equally important and these guys are the worst at it.

Stem Cell Research and Computational power are all defence. The stronger and more capable you are as a nation, the more effective your self defence.

Prior to the invention of aircraft a land owner used to own the airspace above their property all the way up to the stars. The FAA changed this for practical reasons, but I see no need to give away these rights just because you have a new toy and are too lazy to take it somewhere less annoying than where I live.

I only have daughters, and I have my own protip, they don't like being spied on while sunbathing in bikinis in their own fenced backyard by men with flying cameras.
Second protip, a father will go to jail to protect his daughters.

My neighbour is a film producer, he has an industrial sized hexcopter for professional filming, and I've never seen him use it in our neighbourhood other than for test flights within his own yard. So I know it is possible to own a drone and not be a jerk about it.
