Unless the "plug" has a lot more RAM than your average plug-in device, Plug can't support ZFS either. ZFSoL has a minimum RAM recommendation of 2GB. ZFS also has the overhead of checksumming, which on modern non-embedded CPUs isn't a problem, but on an embedded system, present a significant overhead.
ZFS is an enterprise filesystem; it's not designed for low-end hardware.
The thing you're missing is this part:
"While HP describes the backdoors as being usable only with permission of the customer, that restriction is part of HP's own customer-service rules - not a limitation built in to limit use of backdoors."
i.e. there is not actually any kind of technical restriction on the use of the backdoor, there is no actual customer control over it. When they say 'we can only use it with the customer's permission' what they mean is 'we told our reps only to use it with the customer's permission and we hope they do what we say, and no-one else finds it, so now...oops'.
Firefox OS is an OS. It's not Firefox the browser. That's why they called it Firefox OS, not Firefox.

You don't pay a "road tax" in the United States. You pay registration fees, which do not even begin to cover the cost of the roads - they merely cover the cost of handling the paperwork related to your vehicle and license. Property taxes and income taxes pay roads in virtually the entire world over.
My bicycle does not weigh enough or generate enough force to cause any wear on a road surface. I ride on bike paths that haven't been paved in 20-30 years and look brand new.
Your vehicle, especially since you're overcompensating for your small dick by having a big truck, causes enormous road wear. The wear you cause is a fourth-power function of weight.
Dumb hick.
As someone who has started learning about power and cycling - this was a job for an cat 1 / "elite" racer, or at least someone significantly lighter than the guy in the video. I ride pretty regularly but not competitively, and I'm able to do about 300W for a minute. That's piddlesticks in the world of racing, for my weight.
A sprinter would be able to put out massive power (probably 5-7 times what I can do) but sprinters also tend to be heavy. Someone who isn't a sprinter would have less power, but could weigh 50lb less. There are cyclists who specialize in races with climbing, mostly through being light, pacing themselves properly, and having excellent technique.
I'm wondering how much of a warmup he did - in order to do an effort like that, you really do need to be properly warmed up.
Card hasn't just 'expressed an opinion' on homosexuality (or specifically, homosexual behaviour), he has advocated that it should be made illegal, those engaging in it should be punished by the state, and the government should be overthrown 'by any means necessary' in order to achieve this.
That is a horse of a different color.
"The book after Ender's game is called "Xenocide" for pete's sake!"
No, it's called Speaker for the Dead. Xenocide is the third one.
It depends what you mean by 'tolerance'. So far as I'm aware, no-one's called for OSC to be thrown in jail. People have just loudly disagreed with what he says, and advocated not giving money to him. That's a fairly big distinction, and one most beautifully pinpointed by the A.V. Club article on the topic:
http://www.avclub.com/articles/enders-game-author-orson-scott-card-issues-plea-fo,99915/
As a gay person, am I willing to 'tolerate' people who believe that being gay is wrong or whatever? Sure. I don't want OSC sent to prison for thought crimes. Am I willing to 'tolerate' people advocating that homosexual activity be criminalized and I be thrown in prison? Well, it depends what you mean by 'tolerate'. I wouldn't want to forcibly prevent him from expressing his opinion, but I certainly don't think anyone should 'tolerate' it actually happening, or any form of violent revolution to cause it to happen, as OSC has advocated (see above). Am I likely to spend money on his stuff? Nooooope.
"Besides, OSC's SF books have nothing to do with his views on a totally orthogonal societal issue."
Um. Perhaps you haven't read his books closely enough. All of OSC's fiction is very deeply tied into his views on 'societal issues'; that's basically what he writes about. It's least obvious in Ender's Game, but he has, for instance, written an *entire series of SF books* which was a retelling of the Book of Mormon.
18,000 people died in 2006 from DUI crashes.
That's 4,000 more than homicides. So yes, it's pretty "heinous" and should get "insane" punishment. The problem is the punishments aren't insane enough; they sound "insane", but the criminals just get right back in their cars and kill/main more people.
Every time you get behind the wheel and you're drunk/high, you're loading a handgun with a bullet, spinning the chamber, and pointing it at innocent people on the road, and pulling the trigger.
The difference is that you're very often driving to a store where they happily sell you that gun and bullet knowing full well you're going to get into your car and play roulette with it.
No gun store in the country would sell you a gun knowing you'd do that, yet millions of bars serve patrons who drove to their establishments, knowing full well they're going to get back into their cars, drunk.
What is more likely? A hundred and forty legislators voting to ban computers, or a bogus lawsuit with a silly premise?
Is this a job interview question?
Dear Richard Allen Black,
"my road and fuel taxes"
There's no such thing as a road tax, and fuel taxes don't pay for roads. Not even close, because they haven't been adjusted for fuel efficiency nor for inflation since before you were born. In almost every country, roads are paid for by property and income taxes.
Second, your car (especially if you drive an SUV or pickup) causes wear and tear on the road. My bicycle does not. Your state has one of the highest highway death rates in the country, so while my bicycle doesn't cause property damage, injury and death...your car sure as hell does, and at great cost to others and the state.
Third, you live in Montana, which is in the top ten in terms of states which take the most in federal taxes relative to what the federal government spends on you. You're leeches, by a ratio of 2:1; you pay $4k in taxes and the federal government spends $8k on your stupid, ignorant ass. Those roads you drive on? You didn't pay for them, hick.
Where's my rebate check from you and your road-damaging, federal-tax-leeching "d-bags"?
If someone on a bike runs a red light or stop sign and they get hit, that's their bad and that's on them; they'll get no sympathy from me.
Thank goodness, then, that most cyclist crashes are not from the cyclist running a red light or stop sign, but instead the fault of the motorist who hits them. Try googling "study cyclists fault crashes", and note how in almost every country and city, it's the same story.
White does not always help. If you ride at night, use bright headlights and taillaights. I commute by bicycle and have lights on regardless of time of day. Too many drivers just do not pay sufficient attention.
Bright headlights and taillights do not always help. If you ride at night, use dayglo clothing, flags, strobe lights, and pyrotechnics. Too many drivers just do not pay sufficient attention.
If they're "not paying attention" (aka not looking at the road), please explain to me how "being more visible" will help....
I've been hit in the middle of the day, I've been doored despite having a very bright headlight, and I've been cut off ("right hooked") by someone who just passed me, again in the day. Visibility has nothing to do with it. It's about drivers thinking they have the right of way over us universally, and it's about drivers not looking.
In most studies, the number of crashes vs time has little to do with daylight, and everything to do with rush hour - ie people driving aggressively, and traffic density.
Nothing is finished until the paperwork is done.
