It is generally seen as a way to ensure online retailers don't undercut the pricing of brick and mortar stores.
That's just spin. I think the real reason is that they don't want their brand devalued by a lower visible price. This is especially true of Apple. You literally never see a discount on a current-model iPad, though retailers often throw in free gift cards to make the deal better. They do not ever show a lower price than MSRP.
Me: *Closes Explorer window that was open to a folder on C and not any folder on the flash drive, and tries to eject again.*
Well what if that external drive had an autorun.inf or autorun.ico? Have to get that and display the right icon. Oh, and then that triggers a virus scan of the drive icon. But that only takes a few seconds, right?
Although I do have a humorous aside - I have an external USB reader that loses connection every time my Mac goes to sleep, so every time I wake it up I am greeted with a message that I didn't eject a card properly if I left one in the reader
This is a bug in several of the more recent OS X revisions. I have external hard drives all doing the same thing. Wouldn't be surprised if this happened with an internal drive too.
There are a lot of things Apple doesn't get right, but Time Machine is better than your backup script. Each hourly backup creates a new folder and creates hard links to previously backed up files and puts new files under that folder. If you manually delete older backups, nothing breaks. If you can't use the Time Machine software, it's still human-readable and you still have multiple, incremental copies of all your files.
I've actually replicated this setup for another backup script that does nearly the same - rsync using hard links for existing files and after a successful backup, the symlink folder "current" points to the new backup (the folder "current" is what's used to determine which files are new).
Time machine over AFP/SMB is fairly unreliable and prone to corruption, even when the hardware works perfectly. I tell all my Mac users to use a USB drive for their backups, even with the risk of backups not happening due to forgetting to plug in.
(Even if encrypted, as long as the user knows the appropriate passphrases.)
Unless the passphrase is made more secure by having it only gain access to the key through a secure enclave chip (so that you can't brute force the password). That chip is on the touch bar in these models.
I agree that sacrificing repairability to make a computer slimmer is a terrible idea, but it's 2018. If you're not encrypting a portable device then you shouldn't leave the house with it.
I don't think everyone's treating this as a problem to be solved. Maybe not even most people. I'm sure a lot of people take it as a matter of national pride that they have so much advanced civilization buried beneath their feet and love that it is being preserved.
The broadcasting should have an effect and is the make factor vs. being simply recorded. They would have to get a model release form or similar. In Missouri, you do have a right of publicity, meaning that using your likeness for commercial purposes or for ad revenue requires consent. In addition, you have the legal right to protect you against publishing of private facts (eg personal conversations in a car).
No it would just lead to as many people being paid to ride along as necessary, further increasing the waste (i.e. extra fuel cost)
Since a full plane covers not just overhead but per-passenger fuel costs with ticket sales, even one (paid-ticket) person on the plane would be a net gain for fuel costs. Having to staff the plane with anyone but a pilot would raise costs - that's the likely reason. It's almost certain that there would be buyers on these flights if tickets were offered.
You have to make the dog food, then eat your own dog food. And then, it becomes commercial dog food. This is the way of AWS already. Right now, they're just making this for themselves - any future application is pure coincidence.
My comment was already downthread of that info - in fact, a reply to it - no need to repeat it even more verbosely. The point was that if it was gravity related, there would have been an easy test for that.

That locks out the NES in its absense. The content is not copy-protected in any way.
Enable hidden files. The index is written to the drive itself on Windows. Never seen a thumbs.db file?
yes, it's completely safe. Any filesystem that's writing data just because of your passive reading of the disk is a) stupid
Due to answer A, it is indeed not safe. Seems to be everywhere.

There's clearly still a demand. And the used games market has dried up because piracy is much simpler.
Used, on a ROM chip. It's up to you to format shift that - and since there's no DRM it's perfectly legal.

Sewage treatment is practically socialized. What about raw sewage is Progressive?

There are usually exceptions to privacy laws for reporting on the news. Otherwise, recording can be fine even if broadcasting or sharing it is not.

From what I hear, this is not an accurate description of the 405.
Maybe stop swimming naked with guys named Jean.
Creating new, non-recycled batteries already requires smelting. And requires almost 2800 degrees Fahrenheit for cobalt.
After all, they are responsible for the horrendous torture that came about with asylums and their "scientific" methods.
Maybe dead ones. Might as well say the same for medical doctors and leeches or trepanning.
It would weigh roughly 1200 tons at that size. Even if you coiled it up, you could never travel far.

That explains a lot. Never realized it. Just knew that newer models tended to be bad and overheat. Sounds like Belkin to me.

That's homogenized, non-skimmed milk. Not all milk.
