Then Neptune and Earth do not.
Neptune has not cleared it's orbit of Pluto and many comets and apollo bodies cross earth's orbit.

Exactly ". First, advertising imposes costs on individuals without permission or compensation."
You usually get entertainment and or information in compensation.
You mean, the governor who defended Texas by sending in the Texas National Guard and preventing the US military from taking over? Because I'd stake money that True Believers think that's exactly what happened.
To clarify, I am not a True Believer.
I would say yes. Having moons is not a requirement but if you have other object in your planetary moon system the planet is the one with the most mass. Titan is not a planet but it could be if it had an independant orbit as could our moon.
The scientist that runs the Pluto mission disagrees with you.
Pluto is a planet. As he put it The Astronomers should not decide what is and is a planet. They Planetary geologists should.
Pluto is large enough that it has been pulled into a spherical shape. It has moons that orbit it, and it has the most mass of the bodies in the planet moon system it occupies.Pluto has an atmosphere.
Ceres could also qualify but it does not have a moon and is much smaller than Pluto.
I also have no problem with Eris being called a planet if it's orbit remains within the heliopause.
Now the moons of Mars should not be called moons IMHO since they are really just captured asteroids.
So it is better to leave the exploits that it does close open?
Now this is heading into crazytown.
If true.
1. Those are already open.
2. It does improve security by closing other holes.
So why not use it?
Why limit it to those in public housing? Why not offer it to all low income families?
I knew that Wirth did some work in that direction but I never could find it again. One idea he had was compile right to the point of code generation and then stop. When you got the file the browser/installer would then complete the code generation. All the parsing and optimization was already done.
Combine that with her contacts with Snowden and yea I can see it.
It is not just one thing.
Only if you are dumb.
This is Open Source from the NSA every security deeb on the planet will tear into it hopping to get a paper out of some exploit and big consulting contracts.
Odds are really good it is rock solid.
But the thing is that I like my MacBook. It has its tradeoffs but everything does. My problem is that his statement implies that everyone else has been doing it wrong, and that only he is qualified to judge what's Good Enough, as though sound quality is the foremost or even only concern. Since pretty much no human has the audio sensitivity required to affirm his statements, it's just insulting to everyone who isn't him - or at least it would be if anyone took him seriously.
Ironically, enjoyment of music has very little to do with sound quality and much more to do with music, lyrics, and listening environment. If the audio fidelity were as important as he claims, then no one would be buying junk formats like vinyl. But yet, some people enjoy the tactile process of damaging their audio media as little as possible with their inherently destructive hardware, and that's an important part of their listening experience. Music isn't about bullshit concepts like "staging" and "presence", but about the enjoyment of the whole package. Focusing on one relatively small aspect of it misses the whole point, which is why it blows me away that Neil Freaking Young is making that mistake.
