Remember the old times when kernel modules were considered a security risk, thus disabled altogether?

When OpenBSD was boasting its monolithic kernel as a security features?

IIRC, some commercial *nix OSs didn't had modules for reasons of being archaic fossils. But then more recently, couple decades later, also rebranded it into a safety and a security feature.

I like their products. I just want printing without fuss and without having to learn every detail about leveling, etc. Their product works for me and I do not care about its openness, it is about as important for what I need it as my headphones being open sourced (not at all). So this product is for my use case, not for people who want to control every aspect of their printer and every software feature.

IF they decide to make it prohibitively expensive to operate their hardware, then I will go back to a less capable hardware kit.

Is your system so fragile it cannot tolerate even one harmless nonviolent text-only asshole, scapegoating me, then whining about a much bigger threat to their little mental cradle, which I had nothing to do with? So why did they ban me? Why can't I be an asshole and not be the much bigger threat you never even saw coming?

It is a fact that taxes are introduced by majority voting to take something away from a minority. It is a fact that income taxes were introduced only to tax the top earners and it was 1% for incomes of 3000USD and over, 6% for incomes of half a million and over, it is a fact that can be independently confirmed.

The opinion in this case is that such behavior is confiscation and that it is not a sound foundation for the economy and that eventually these taxes expand to the rest of the population because this is how taxes work.

So I wonder is it the fact or is it the opinion that the /. moderates here? Neither facts, nor opinions are a way to troll anyone, if we mark everything that we disagree with as 'troll' then there is no discourse at all.
