WHats beyond arrogance is you assuming that you have more than an advisory role in what goes onto a website. Every blank spot on the page IS fair game, because its not your website.
Im actually going to explain why youre so wrong, just in case you are legitimately ignorant (rather than just trolling): 1) People who do not sign onto the system (mailing list providers) will undermine the system. The gov't agency I am with has internal DLs that include email addresses that belong to private contractors; is that illigitimate? 2) This would require everyone to come into full compliance with this tax suggested by a CA council member, otherwise you block loads of legit email. 3) Most users will not put up with it. And who would pay for gmail, comcast, yahoo, hotmail, etc hosted emails? Are we monitoring all port 25 traffic plus DPI on port 80, or what? 4) Microsoft makes one of the top 3 MTAs out there. 5) Who are they paying it to? Why do Shanghai Bank employees need to pay a tax to some US entity? Why wouldnt they just tell us to get stuffed? 6) You cannot force people to reject the email. Email is an international thing. Etc etc etc.
Every objection you have is basically answered by "people in foreign countries will not pay a tax to the US, which means people in the US cannot afford to just block untaxed emails, which means the entire system cannot work".
If the email doesn't have a legal code showing it paid taxes, it gets automatically rejected and sent back to the sender
Ah, yes, because the entire legitimate email-using world would instantly convert to using a tax suggested by a Berkeley council member. Im sure noone REALLY needs those emails from their UK business partners.
If people are leaving their car keys in their cars, and there have been a rash of incidents where cars were stolen (keys already being in them) and used to commit various crimes and hit/ runs, then people who continue to leave their keys in their cars are absolutely part of the problem.
Victim blaming is incorrect if it tries to assign all blame to a victim, but there are many cases where the victim made poor choices which directly contributed to whatever has happened to them. You cant just pretend we live in a world where thats irrelevant, because its not.
It affects everyone by a factor of 10, and does nothing to fix the problem. All it does is add a ton of implementation costs and new ways for the system to break.
Theyll get there tomorrow-- they havent failed to breach OSX yet. The shocker this year is that OSX / Safari didnt fall on day one-- the question is whether thats due to actual security, perceived difficulty, or lower prize money.
In any real-world benchmark, Intel desktop and server chips will beat any contender that I am aware of in performance-per-watt comparisons as well as raw performance in most cases, excepting of course application-specific chips (FPGA / ASIC).
I could of course be wrong, but I have yet to see a benchmark showing otherwise.
Counts Two through Four allege that Drew violated the CFAA by accessing MySpace servers to obtain information regarding Meier in breach of the MySpace Terms of Service, on September 20, 2006, and October 16, 2006..... This case was heard by a jury, and the jury's verdict was announced on November 26, 2008.[1] The jury was deadlocked on Count One for Conspiracy, but unanimously found Drew not guilty of Counts Two through Four. The jury did, however, find Drew guilty of a misdemeanor violation of the CFAA.[4]
Plus, the guilty verdict was set aside; there is a law which might have made violating the ToS a misdemeanor, except that if interpreted that way it becomes unconstitutionally vague. Even if it were not, "misdemeanor" is not the same as "criminal" (which generally means "felony").
Theres tons of these out there, but from phoronix, comparing an ARM cluster to an Ivy Bridge:
LU.A on the i7-3770K came in at 9514 Mop/s, which was more than ten times faster than the six-board PandaBoard ES cluster. The average power consumption of the Intel system was 111 Watts. The efficiency was at 85 Mop/s per Watt compared to the Effimaß cluster at 30.79 Mop/s per Watt.
Or from here, where an ARM manufacturer shows 15x performance / watt compared to the intel part-- until you realize they chose a lower-end, higher consumption part (100w E3 1240, instead of a 100w 1270 or a 45w 1270l or a 20 watt 1220L), and that the E3 was constrained by IO rather than CPU (it was only at 15% usage); and that the benchmark only measured TDP (and that for other, higher end parts like 12GB extra RAM), not actual usage (which would have been substantially lower); and worse, that this is for 2-years' ago product (32nm Sandy Bridge) rather than 22nm Ivy Bridge. Actually do the math and Intel comes out on top, by the ARM vendor's own benchmarks.
I would be utterly amazed if you could show benchmarks with ARM beating Intel in real-world scenarios, performance-per-watt.
Google does have a similar position. They have stated this numerous times. What neither MS nor Google do is completely remove your record, but they both scrub certain data out of it; Google refers to it as anonymizing it, I believe.

Face it, Microsoft wants to be able to accuse Google of being a giant, friendly dataminer while practicing the exact same stuff, sans the solid record and history of trustworthiness. So given that they both scan what youre doing to advertising, who do you trust more? MS, who implies they dont gather any info, or Google who is up front about it?
You are way off. Modern x86 chips absolutely slaughter ARM chips on a clock-for-clock basis, and on a watt-for-watt basis. ARM can keep a lower power usage on the sfuff it does, but if the task was "compute pi to a trillion places as fast as possible and with as little power consumption as possible", the ARM cpu would be flattened.
Why do you suppose supercomputers are by-and-large built with x86 (or x64) cpus, rather than ARM? Why do you suppose data centers are populated with Opterons and Xeons, rather than Cortexes?

Good to see that bigotry is alive and well on slashdot.
Not to defend this drive or even enter into discussion on it, but...
If the EM Drive was a true violation of conservation of momentum, then we would have seen the effect elsewhere first
This statement is disingenuous. You could make it about every discovery.
The sports games (in theory) pay for themselves in various ways.
The words "ancient" and "recent" are basically antonyms.

Forget companies, I think most people do this.
The beauty of slashdot mentality is you get to pretend that its only "companies" that are messed up, not people.
I just got classic shell, and now Im over it. In every other way Win 8 is better.
Granted, that doesnt make it more palatable to businesses, but I think that bridge is already burned.

If that agreement is void, Intel can no longer use x64. Guess who gets hurt more in that situation?

Oh, I read what you said backwards, as a 800mhz arm hitting 2ghz x86. My mistake.

Im not aware of any printers that dont need a driver in some form. If its not asking you for one, its just because the base OS already has one.
"Violating the terms of service" does not automatically make you a criminal.
Intel uses AMD64 as well under a cross-licensing agreement.
Your problem is having any expectations whatsoever on slashdot. Have none, that way you will never be disappointed.
