It better include Saved By Zero by The Fixx

This seems to be a complaint about the convenience of quickly collecting and/or processing, not necessarily about "breaking the rules". You seem to be mixing up multiple concerns here.

If she CC'd her messages "properly", it appears she can satisfy the rule as written, even if such would make life difficult for investigators. The rule said nothing about making data easy to collect.

Nobody has produced clear evidence so far that she failed to CC properly. I suspect there may have been times that she forgot every now and then, but that may not be enough to bust her on. They'd probably have to show malicious intent.

(facepalm)

The required refresh rate is too fast to re-render. The only way to do this is with hardware pixel reprojection, and competent ways of handling the problems that come with it (disocclusion and view-dependent effects -- specular reflections and refractions).

The thing is, there are so many consequences for being the first to go nuclear it actually detracts from the threat.

OTOH, big deck guns can pound away for days for less than the cost of a single missile.

The continuous nature of it wears on the enemy in the way a single missile doesn't.

We prototyped those years ago: retinal projection (laser raster scan across the retina). It's just that it's not very practical. But with ultra high resolution displays, the microlens array approach to light fields is becoming practical (you'd have a decent system with even 8x8 pixel patches behind each microlens, so a 16K panel is sufficient for a first generation lightfield display).

Yes, I made factual claims ABOUT THE DIAGRAM.

Yes. They don't lose anything by becoming citizens (there are tax issues but they are pretty minor), and being a US citizen has a lot of advantages, like the support of US consulate services.

I'm a dual citizen (born American, obtained British citizenship while I lived there), and while my default position would be "you should grant them US citizenship as that opens up more options to them if they ever want to live in the US" (and despite the many issues, there are still good reasons to want to live here for many people), it should be said that the tax bullshit really is onerous, and renunciation would be expensive. It is like the US congress has built a financial Berlin wall around the country ... sure, you're free to leave, if you can pay up (and pay for expensive tax preparers who specialize in filing US taxes for expats, as the forms are by no means easy), but good luck ever getting out from under our thumb.

It's not an easy question to answer, and as someone else suggested, I would involve your 16 or 17-year old child in the decision beforehand, with good financial and legal advice on the implications pro and con. Weighing the option of living here vs. the never-ending IRS headaches of living abroad--that's a tough one.

"soulless husk that was formerly human"

Good description of someone who works for a dishonest company.

I have no opinion on the facts of the situation. I only know what the diagram clearly claims.

And according to the diagram, parts of the linux kernel are incorporated INTO the hypervisor. That, I imagine, is what has lead to a legal dispute.

The diagram remains clear. It shows what I said it does. Your question is more about if the diagram shows reality or not.

I note though that the Linux kernel is at the bare metal level itself.

Actually, he said the same thing I said, in different words.

For example, he points out that using the defined API, such as system calls is not a derived work, but digging into the internals is.

If it's a non issue, they should release the modified source and be done with it. They've had 3 years to do so and flatly refuse, so the law suit.

No. Fascism is all about the supremacy of the State. Below the ultimate power of the State a hierarchy is formed of those who may wield power on their own, with business and finally State-appointed and -controlled unions as you go further down, but it is State power that counts.
