There were two things I liked about the VAX/VMS filesystem that I would port over. The first is version numbering. A file would start as filename.1 and the number would increment with each edit/save cycle.

The second thing would be logicals and overlayed directories. They worked like a stack of transparencies like the human anatomy entry in an encyclopedia. The base layer would be a read only version of the operating system. Above that would be a writable layer. Above that, for development users, would be test versions of new OS elements. Regular users wouldn't see these layers. Above that would be applications (read only) with a writeable layer above it.

The purpose of the writeable layer over the read only layer is to trap attempts to overwrite system files.

No such system exists.

Perhaps you want "to become" rather than "will be"?

Can warrants be challenged in a court of law?

Democracy allows its citizens to choose who their oppressors will be.

I thought Windows 10 was getting rid of Metro.

Google is removing SSLv3 from Chrome. It's gone from Firefox and Microsoft Internet Explorer. Safari won't be far behind. How are you going to connect to your SSLv3 device with no software?

They are... if nothing can speak SSLv3 to them.

I've been binge-watching Mayday (a.k.a. Air Crash Investigations), and I have not seen a single episode where bug splatter on the wings brought down a plane. There was one episode where a spider built a nest in the pitot tube, but nothing with the wings. They would be far better off developing anti-ice coating. Ice brings down planes on a regular basis.

Adblock, my friend. Use it.

Granted, but optical signals are not generated by a coil of wire and interleaved metal plates. You can't just tweak a capacitor to adjust the frequency of a laser.

That is a very good point. On the other hand, smoke-jumpers must be airlifted.

Shooting down a small UAV/drone/RC aircraft is not a simple task.

No private citizen NEEDS a gun either; or a car, or a computer, or porno magazines. That doesn't mean we can't have them.

The reality of the situation is that the persons taking video of the fire with their fancy flying cameras were probably unaware that they were interfering with the fire-fighting effort.

There's precious little metal in a goose.
