Your comment about what the OS does with hardware sounds pretty
joking. I think that managing the hardware is exactly what the OS
does, restricting what and when operations may ocurr, applying
permissions, local security policies, etc...

I understand you don't like this bug. Ok, no problem. But I think i'm
not wasting more time arguing.
