Uh, no.

It's a civil suit, not a criminal one (or, more accurately, potentially in addition to a criminal one). The department cannot bury a civil suit, nor trivially get it dismissed. And the burden of proof in a civil suit is substantially less than in a criminal one -- a "preponderance of evidence" vs "beyond a reasonable doubt".

The massive fines come from the civil suits, usually, not criminal ones. And that doesn't even count the ones settled out of court because paying them is cheaper than he legal fees alone for going to court.

So, yes, significantly reducing such suits is very much in the interests of both the police departments and (more importantly) the legislative bodies that fund them.

No; there's absolutely no way for vim (terminal vim at least, but gvim inherits lots of terminal quirks) to see a chord like that.

But, never fear -- if you paste while in paste mode (:h 'paste or :h 'pastetoggle) imaps, iabbrs, etc. do not get activated. If you paste when not in paste mode then things tend to get messed up anyway and those are probably the least of your worries.

Or paste using the clipboard -- "+p in normal mode, or <c-r>+ in insert mode. (The other clipboard is in the asterisk register, but HN keeps eating the character)

CentOS is a rebuild of RHEL. While it's rare, there are some bugs that creep in during that process. It also doesn't have a few other things that RHEL does - mainly the -supplemental repo (closed source 3rd party software, the most important of which is probably Oracle jdk in rpm form), a working yum-security module, and a slightly different update mechanism (both are yum, but if you are creating some mass deployment system then having subscription-manager is important; this is really edge case-y though).

And to be very, very clear - Red Hat does not support CentOS. Some of the CentOS devs are paid by Red Hat, but if you open a support ticket for it it will be closed very quickly. You cannot pay Red Hat for commercial support of CentOS in any way.

No, desktop and workstation are just stripped down versions of Server (with occasional really weird exceptions like the packages to burn a physical CD or DVD are, only in those two in RHEL7).

Server has a LOT of packages that the other two do not as well. Really, Server is what you want.
