Obfuscation provides no security, it just looks like it does.
If the operating system needs to perform a series of steps to turn the encrypted password back into plain text so can an attacker.

With arduino and a shield yes

This is not running an operating system, this is in efi the replacement to your bios.
EFI can do a lot of stuff, there is a text editor, interactive shell and python interpreter so it is something that you can write programs in not just operating system boot loaders.
I have installed this as a boot entry on my laptop and it does boot directly to zork in no time
This is probably not the first human made object to reach interstellar space.
The real furthest object is a man hole cover.
During testing of nuclear weapons they were doing tests underground. They had a nuclear weapon at the bottom of a long shaft.
On top of the shaft was a metal cap.
It's not known how fast it is going or if it actually left the atmosphere but if it did survive it would have been going really fast
There is HP-UX, Open Solaris, AIX so perhaps you could get Open Solaris on a desktop.
Linux and bsd are not POSTIX compliant (they have not gone through compliance testing) so for a unix (tm) your choices are limited.
The USA does not need to do the torture, it can send the person to another country and have them do it.
Socialist countries such as Australia, Canada, New Zealand are quite low on the corruption index, far better than capitalist america.

In the last year or so support for 3d acceleration inside a vm has been possible.
Virtual box states that it has opengl and dirext3d 8/9 support in it's release notes.

I have not needed to use it so I am not sure how it performs.
Why not scale down the LHC and build something that is capable of accelerating something relatively small say 10-100kg fast enough to make it to orbit instead of accelerating atoms to nearly the speed of light.
The problem with conventional rockets is you need to carry the fuel to get in to orbit as well as the fuel to go where you need to. The bigger the ship the more fuel you need to carry to overcome the weight of the fuel.
If you can split the carrying of fuel for your journey from getting your rocket in to orbit you would not need to waste as much fuel lifting itself.
You could set up an automated system that would fire a 10kg payload of fuel every 10 minutes and get what you need over time far cheaper than one big launch.
Old technology does not die off quickly.
Piano rolls died only 4 years ago http://news.slashdot.org/story/09/01/05/0224202/player-piano-roll-production-ceases
New technologies do replace old technologies but not overnight.
The user is able to edit the keys database on x86 based and not arm based uefi implementations.
You can put the microsoft keys on a black list if you want and it will not boot.
Electronic voting usually has one of the following two flaws:
1. People know how you vote, bad know how you vote and can use this to find where you live and could kill you or cause problems.
2. No one knows how you vote, this removes traceability and can lie about the results.
These are not likely to be problems in the USA unless it is something controversial like evolution, gay rights etc. where you will just loose your job.
But having such a system in place means the rest of the world will copy and implement it badly where they do round people up to remove opposition.
One of the steps of building the kit is removing the IR filter from the webcam.
The one day you'd sell your soul for something, souls are a glut.
