The IBM was open. You could buy the Technical Reference Manual from IBM. It had full schematic diagrams of every bit of the hardware, including the floppy diskette drive and power supply. The expansion slots were intended from the start to host third party interface addons.
The commented BIOS source code was even published in the Technical Reference Manual. It wasn't 'open source' in the modern sense, but every bit of the design was open and disclosed.
Apple sued, and ran out of business, the companies that produced GEOS and GEM. They drove the products off the market with lawyers.
In effect, they wiped out the companies producing competitors for Microsoft's Windows environment. GEOS and GEM both had versions targeted at the MS-DOS systems.
Yes. Apple ran Microsoft's competitors out of the GUI market, assuring the Wintel Monopoly once Microsoft won the look-and-feel lawsuit.
It makes sense, though, because Microsoft in the early years was one of the dominant Application developers for the Macintosh.
Slavishly adopting whatever a marketing operation in Cupertino 'defines' as the leading edge isn't luddite, but it's the same sort of 'follow the leader' shit that the luddite mob was participating in.
One of the leading definitions of 'fragmented messaging' is when a vendor locks their protocol behind a specific minority subset of the existing mobile hardware.
On an unrelated note, when I hear an Apple Phone ringtone, I check carefully for the usually associated flatulence. There's somebody with an 'attitude' nearby who will need to be avoided.
iOS isn't robust enough for there to be driver support for anything but a small subset of the hardware Apple chooses. It's the same as with Mac OS. Apple isn't very good at developing software, so they target a narrow subsection of the hardware available.
So the message is that the software is much more likely to be successful at apprehending guilty white people? Sorry for using a racist tag ("white") in my comment.
It does sound like it's strongly biased against white people and should be scrutinized carefully.
My Dyanco PAS-2 preamp is so low noise that one time I could hear the minute sounds of my turntable's arm as it moved across to drop down on the record. I scrambled to turn the volume down. With typical amps and preamps, there is a noise floor from the transistors so there is a warning 'hiss' if the volume happens to be turned all the way up. With an extremely low noise system, if the volume is too high, you'll be blown across the room when the needle hits the vinyl.
The safest way to 'respond to pressure' is to further slow down. The person tailgating you is actually setting it up so the safe distance rule requires you to slow down even more.
Yes, that is the challenge with laser modulation. It has significant limits that mean it won't scale very well. Others have explained it well in other comments in this discussion.
Part 15 applies to narrow bands of the spectrum. Small 'free for all' bands. Said equipment MUST only radiate within that band. Equipment that produces harmonic radiation outside that band is prohibited.
If you've never gotten your foreskin stuck in your zipper you've missed a new threshold of suffering. I once zipped an area of it INTO the zipper. The only way to stop the pain was to zip BACK over it to get it free.
When you belong to a mafia-like cult, it's true that your secrets stay within the organization. So long as you acknowledge that Apple owns you, they will protect you.
I bought a retail box version of Windows 10 to put on my desktop because I was running a sketchy copy of Windows 7 that kept deactivating. After a few months running the Windows 10, I went on eBay and bought a legitimate retail box copy of Windows 7 to replace it.
At least now I have a legitimate copy of Windows 7 to run in perpetuity. I have several machines with legit OEM copies of Windows 7 as well.
If you did have a legit Windows 7 machine and you let them do the 'free upgrade' on it, your old license is expired. That was part of the agreement to get the 'free' Windows 10.
Windows 2000 was the first really robust OS from Microsoft that had 'enough in it' to be a good desktop system, and was several magnitudes of scale better than Windows 98. Before it, NT 3.51 was a good 'UNIX like' OS, but they screwed that up with NT 4. Then after Windows 2000, they stuck in thick layers of cruft again with XP. It took until Windows 7 to recover. Windows 10 is just an unmitigated disaster. I recently tried to open up my Windows 10 convertible laptop in 'tablet' mode, and had to kind of force it into a shutdown because it wouldn't respond to ANYTHING I could do on the touchscreen.

I have ethernet cards in the expansion slots of my SE/30s.
Nope, it was one bit monochrome. You weren't there, I take it.

Diapers frequently need changing, too.

The SE/30 is a good choice for running NetBSD.
The 512 x 342 one bit framebuffer is a little limiting, but with fvwm you have a usable X desktop.

Naw. We want them to stay in the bubble.
Nice bubble! Stay there!

Back when Andrew Breitbart was a co-founder of Huffington Post, it wasn't the fever swamp that it has become.

Can I just hold your beer for you, moron?
You can download and browse the entire Wikipedia offline. It all will fit on a medium sized SD card on your phone.
Let me guess. You're a beta tester for Dragonfly and you found NOTHING, NOTHING AT ALL, about the Tienanmen Square Massacre when you searched.
No, the first is whatever IT company set up Hillary's server.
Wikileaks is just a correction factor.
As a white South African, Musk should do well in China.
