This model is a (forecasted) miserable failure in France and now some morons want to do the same in other countries. Some humans make me sad.

you watch too many movies

Power is alive thank you very much for inquiring. It is used in more or less critical systems you probably don't want to hear about, because if you do that would probably mean something wrong happened, with various bad consequences. Also used in the Wii, PS3 and XBox 360 (the last running a NT kernel derivative IIRC)

uh. That rather seems to mean that you were not using a valid C compiler.

One of ethical foundation of Free Software is that anybody is able to help his neighbor with it. By selling the binary $2 on Apple dictatorially regulated market, I think (but i'm not 100% sure, because the iPhone being based on Dictatorial Software, I've no real interest in it) they prevents other from helping those of their neighbors that have an iPhone because they restrict others from distributing binaries to third parties. This is CLEARLY against the spirit of not only the GPL, but even Free Software at large. Free Software is fundamentally incompatible with Dictatorial Platforms.

This is worthless without using tons of Microsoft proprietary code. So why is this interesting?

Except that, unless this has changed, you can't use style on something that is smaller than a paragraph (like just a single word inside it). Which means you are owned : you have no choice but overriding the paragraph style for that word, and if later you want to change the style of every specific words of the same namespace, well, you just... can't! (or you change them one by one, which takes ages, and which makes you wonder why you are using a computer if it is for doing stupid laborious work)

Fuck! I didn't know Linux is a proprietary software.
Fuck! ID Software never freed the engines of Doom, Quake, Quake II, etc
And so over.

What the problem with opening multiple windows and using multiple tabs inside each window? Hm, I just found the (little) pb, and the solution: pb: you can't drag and drop a tab from one window to another (this has a stupid effect) solution: add a feature so you can - detach a tab - drag and drop a tab to move it from one window to another.

This is already written in EULA (at least the beginning), and this won't work anymore is there is a law to properly protect the consumer. I usually hate the pointless IANAL thing, but this time I'll make an exception and state that YAONALAMTTYEKNALAYSSTFUIOWPC

unliable small software development shops selling random code as safety critical ? Yeah that kind of shop should obviously be killed. (and i also confirm you are high)

You are confusing lot of things and so completely missing the point. Qualification of safety critical software already exists and already is done by qualified people, and this is probably the case all over the world. And the EU is already doing fine for qualification of safety critical software, thank you very much. Few casual consumer products with low safety risks need licensed engineers to be created. There are other mechanisms to protect the consumer in case of defects. Finally, about responsibility, regardless of the domain, the people who are responsible are not very often the only people doing all the work.

Maybe because you already have the capacity to destroy the Earth multiple times, and anything beyond the first one is rather pointless.

In most implementations volatile provides you nearly nothing when trying to do mmio, because the processor will do ooo or worse speculative execution if you take no other precautions.
