You can use fans with integral speed sensors. This allows the system software to detect failing or dead fans. I don't know if Apple uses them, but they have been available for many years.
Maybe because that was the hardware and software available to the testers. Contrary to popular belief, government employees do not have unlimited budgets to buy stuff. The last time I worked in a government office, some of the furniture was older than I was and my PC was built from scrounged parts.
Atari used a weird serial interface on their computer peripherals, partly to meet FCC regulations on RF emissions. Sort of like a prehistoric version of USB. I don't know if they ever published a description of the pinout, voltages and protocol. Making a controller for a cassette recorder would be a major development project.
See Jim Bell's Assassination Politics. Beware, the government does not have a sense of humor. Jim Bell is currently in federal prison, serving a 10 year sentence for "stalking" an IRS agent. For details, see here.
The United States has treaties with Mexico and Canada that lay out a framework for coordination of radio and television licensing. You can't just hop across the border and build a 1 MW radio station on any frequency you like.
Having a copyright on a work does not mean that you own the work, it means that you have a limited-time government grant of the exclusive right to reproduce the work. See Copyright Basics. You can own a particular instance of the work, its physical manifestation, but not the work itself.
This feature is useless for business applications where reliability is essential. While the PAT logic is in the 865 chipset, Intel does not guarantee that it has passed chip-level testing. It may work, it may not work, it may only work over a limited temperature range. It falls into the same category as overclocking the CPU. You don't know if the chip passed the test for a higher classification and was marked for a lower speed to satisfy market demand, or if it failed the test for reliable operation at the higher classification. If you want that guarantee, you pay the premium for the 875P.
I doubt that Intel gives a damn about "overclockers/enthusiasts". They are a tiny part of the computer market.
They may be more concerned about motherboard and computer vendors who sell computers with unsupported chipset configurations.
USB 2.0 High Speed might be useful for printers that rely on the host's printer driver for much of their functionality. The printer driver may be sending huge bitmaps to the printer.
The National Simian Safety Board has permanently suspended travel to the big flat thing under the trees after two terranauts were killed by a lion.
A local citizens group protested the allocation of bananas to ground exploration, saying that the bananas would be better spent on grooming and bug removal.
I recently bought a printer. The box says "USB 2.0 Full Speed". That had me fooled until I read the article on slashdot. Looking more closely at the box, it has the basic USB logo (not high speed).
It breaks the end-to-end transparency of the Internet and reduces the pressure to implement solutions to IP allocation that do not violate the Internet model.
I want to be able to send a UDP packet across the Internet from device A to device B with AH and ESP (IPSEC) enabled.
I doubt it. Verizon says that only allowing phones tested and approved by Verizon is just their way of enforcing technical standards and protecting customers and their network from junk phones. That may be part of it but I am sure they have many unstated reasons for insisting on "Verizon approved" phones.
What do you do if there is a serious bug or deficiency in the software? I've gone through several cheap routers (netgear, SMC) that had serious problems the manufacturer was not interested in fixing.
The NSA also does statistical analysis of encrypted data, looking for anomalies that provide valuable clues for cryptanalysts. That can suck up a lot of floating point horsepower.

The only solution may be suicide. There are terrorists who object to your existence on this planet.

It may have been brilliant, but it was slow. It took forever to load files from the floppy disk drive.
Maybe because many businesses in China are run by the PLA (People's Liberation Army) or others with strong ties to the government.

My PVR can record very watchable NTSC at 2 Mbps.
The problem is finding cheap MPEG encoders.

Maybe because bandwidth is a small part of the total cost of building and maintaining an SMS infrastructure.
Verizon Wireless charges 2 per message received and 10 per message sent for their basic package.

Geophysics includes atmospheric phenomena. Idiot.
Smoking has been allowed on USN submarines. I'm not sure what the current policy is.

The Internet is more than web browsing. I want all of my network nodes to be able to communicate with each other in a secure fashion.
NAT is the spawn of Satan, SATAN!!!
