That doesn't matter! People pay good money for these PCs and should be entitled to a full speed machine, not a ten percent decrease in performance. If that's Intel's attitude, they won't last much longer in this market.
Nineteenth century school houses had all the grades from kindergarten on up through the eighth grade (high school was optional) housed under one roof. The primer (kindergarten) kids sat in the front while the older students sat in the back. Somehow, one teacher was able to teach all these different kids from different books under one roof. I realize there are many more people nowadays and that makes small school houses impractical, but maybe there's something to be said for mixing different ages together. Let the older children help the younger ones with their studies, which will teach the older children responsibility and empathy, and the younger children can also learn proper behavior from the older ones.
I think things like documents, spreadsheets and databases can be done easily enough online with services like Google Docs. However, more intensive things like graphics and video editing will probably still be done offline on the regular computer.
...why did so many people have to rally, protest and sign petitions just to get Tom Wheeler to implement it instead of going with the telcos' desire for paid prioritization?
The telcos speak poison with their forked tongues.
I believe this is way more the system's fault than the students'. Why were they using such easily guessed passwords? The first rule of thumb is never to use an actual word or name as a password.
Beyond that, why are the police even involved in this matter. Give the kid a detention and revoke his computer privileges for a while. There's simply no need to cuff a kid and lock them up for changing a computer wallpaper.
While the Liberator may be pretty much a toy gun, it's still a sign of things to come. The day will soon arrive when anyone with a 3D printer and Internet connection will be able to download a schematic and print just about anything they want. People won't have to buy anything at all anymore except the base materials to make what they want. We will be able to make our own cars, clothes, computers, smartphones/tablets, weapons, toys, etc. Commerce as we know it will either cease to exist or be radically altered.
I can never decide if the First, Second or Fourth Amendment is the most trampled upon by our benevolent government. I do not understand why government feels the need to crowbar its way into our private affairs in this way. What do they stand to gain by doing so? It just makes no sense.
I don't trust myself even to talk on a handsfree set, never mind texting while I drive. It would be even worse since you have to take your eyes off the road. I know I'd get in an accident, so I'd only do it at a red light.
Bush and his cronies are so corrupt. They don't like when the judge rules for the Constitution and against them, so attempt to railroad him out of his power over this case. They just want to play by their own rules instead of the supreme law of the land. No wonder other countries think the US is a joke.
Will the Internet become a walled-garden, where we can only read and post what is approved by our ISPs? I can't stand that idea! I like the Internet as it is now, where we have the freedom to read and post whatever we want. The Internet is our personal playground. We can't let our ISPs and the government take away that freedom. Net Neutrality forever!

I can remember being taught the metric system in grade school in the 80s and being utterly flummoxed by it.
Then he can get a taste of what he's going to subject the rest of us to.
Adblock is awesome at blocking those pesky ads and autoplay videos. Indispensable for modern Web use.
In that case, he got what was coming to him.
He should've at least been allowed to defend himself.
My concern is would this Internet access be filtered, like access through libraries and schools is?

I love my Unicomp. It reminds me of the IBM Model Ms we used in school.
Does this mean that all newer versions of Windows are going to be free downloads from now on?

If you can see it on your screen, it can be recorded in one way or another.
Twart future terrorists in their tracks must.

How much did the entertainment industry bribe the major ISPs to implement this?
You and I both, brother. When I move to AZ, I'm getting and carrying a pistol everywhere.
Take advantage of the Second Amendment and don't be afraid to use it on Border Patrol agents.
If the checkpoint was ruled unconstitutional, why are you still passing through it?

They already do.
I wonder if the RIAA even knows how hated they are right now.
