Would this even cause a kernel panic? I think this just causes a userland "panic"

There’s a significant detail which is missing from this analysis. The law which puts copyright over privacy is a French law, not an EU law. The EU court found that the French law doesn’t contradict any EU law.

So the EU court did not determine that copyright is more important than privacy. It determined only that the French parliament is allowed to decide that question for France.

So while this does set a bad precedence, it is not as bad as the title would like you to believe.

What do you mean? Having multiple tabs open at once?

How does a search engine being offline interrupt a device flashing?

As long as you didn't push it's fine.

Can't Improve Upon Perfection

According to special relativity, the energy of an object with rest mass m and speed v is given by γmc2, where γ is the Lorentz factor defined above^1. [...] The γ factor approaches infinity as v approaches c, and it would take an infinite amount of energy to accelerate an object with mass to the speed of light. The speed of light is the upper limit for the speeds of objects with positive rest mass[...] This is experimentally established in many tests of relativistic energy and momentum.

More generally, it is impossible for signals or energy to travel faster than c. One argument for this follows from the counter-intuitive implication of special relativity known as the relativity of simultaneity. If the spatial distance between two events A and B is greater than the time interval between them multiplied by c then there are frames of reference in which A precedes B, others in which B precedes A, and others in which they are simultaneous. As a result, if something were travelling faster than c relative to an inertial frame of reference, it would be travelling backwards in time relative to another frame, and causality would be violated. In such a frame of reference, an "effect" could be observed before its "cause". Such a violation of causality has never been recorded, and would lead to paradoxes such as the tachyonic antitelephone.

Doesn't this mean that secure boot would save your ass? If you verify that the boot files are signed (secure boot) then you can't boot these modified files or am I missing something?
