Then what? What stops the kids downloading and running whatever software they like?
How can this replace "child control" software? The system web browser may well report the age field (or age bracket) to websites without letting the user modify it, but what stops them downloading a browser that does let them modify it? Or modifying the source code and compiling a version to lie about their age?
Yeah this would have a pretty different reaction if it was the US social security number that was required by these laws. OK it's not verified yet and you're not required to enter it, but what motivation is there for mandating a field for a personal ID number?
I can't stand it any longer. It's the slop!
We still have the Scunthorpe problem in 2026?
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!
It's an optical delay-line memory. Early computer memories were acoustic in some manner.
I can't imagine that the latency of 'delay line RAM' would be acceptable to anyone today. Maybe there's some clever multiplexing that could improve that but it would surely add more complexity that just making more RAM ICs.

It seems hard to know if it's actually anomalous though. If you're looking at all "specialists in aerospace, defense and laboratory research" in the USA, how many people would that be and at what rate would you expect disappearances/deaths? The timeframe of events does look quite short but it's surely very few incidents compared to the entire US population over that period.
