@SumeetDeshmukh also, if it's only one downvote sometimes it's really not worth the trouble. Might just be that your answer is fine but somebody else had a bad day. Or wanted to take revenge of you (as a matter of fact, I have one downvote on one of my answers and I know exactly who was behind it). Don't be too worried.
On a more serious note, a Linux kernel driver in 2008 was deemed unsafe for certain models of Ethernet cards: bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=55667 Last year it was clear that running rm -rf / was bricking some computers with an UEFI firmware: phoronix.com/… If we want to extend the concept of safety to hardware, other than people, some questions might be on topic. Probably not too many to deserve a tag, though. :)
Mine was a tongue-in-cheek remark adding to the point of @Melebius. Having said that, I have nothing against the idea of removing the safety tag, as long as we agree that safety and security are slightly different concepts.
Those are duplicates. One of the answers in the original question even suggests to use VirtualBox. Wine with "obscure" (whatever it means) Windows software? Sure, been there multiple times. It doesn't matter if the program is famous or not, what matters is its complexity.
Reviewing is volunteering, reviewers are not paid to do it and errors can happen once in a while. Those who abuse the system (but that's not the case here) are already managed by mods.
Yes that one seems kinda odd. I will cast a reopen vote. Nevertheless, the fact that some errors out of thousands of questions can happen does not mean people with review privileges should be bashed with snarky nicknames like "duplicate post police" or whatever. Humans sometimes make mistakes.
