Well, most car manufacturers ARE offering pretty reasonable warranties anymore. 10year/100,000Miles is not unheard of, and actually pretty common. When they're backing the car for that much time / wear should they not have an exclusive right to the work done on the vehicle?
As it stands, they are doing everything legal. The government said "You need to provide us with a standardized list of codes for EMISSIONS diagnosis and repair. It has to be available on a standard connector, with standard pin locations. The codes have to be able to be read by any OBDII compliant code reader." It even has it specified how fast baud rate of the datastream has to be. So they did that. They put more "debugging" stuff in their for their own help. If you want to spent the money, you can buy your own OEM scan tools, and have everything that dealer technicians have.
Lets use a software analogy since we can't use a car analogy. If Microsoft built in debugging modes into Windows 8, and didn't provide anyone who is not a Microsoft certified IT specialist
have access to it without costing a bunch of money to unlock it, are they in the wrong?
Maybe if you're sitting in traffic riding the person in front of you's ass. If your vehicle is moving, the radiator in the car along with the fans, should they be electric or belt driven, are more than enough the keep the engine cool. In fact, if you have electric fans that are computer controlled, at high vehicle speed there is enough air flow over the radiator, that the computer will shut the fans off because they are not needed to keep the engine at operating temperature.
Now, if your cooling system is in crap condition, radiator is full of leaves and stuff in the front maybe you could be right.
And the problem of perpetuating a bacterial-resistance arms race, in which bacteria rapidly develop countermeasures against new antibiotics, may be avoided entirely with the new compound. "Since the substance is nontoxic to the bacterium, its not throwing up any red flags," says Moeller.
Other than "doing something really funky that were excited about," researchers dont yet know how this compound interferes with bacterial resistance to antibiotics, says Moeller. The compound may sneak by bacterias sensors that trigger new ways to combat antibiotics. Bacteria continually treated with this compound for three months are still susceptible to antibiotics.
It would appear that bacteria don't modify itself? Obviously the research is still early, but hopefully this is a remedy to the situation that lasts for quite some time.
Acquiring a software company, and designing a phone concept are 2 totally different things. That would be like me saying I preclude the modern fuel injected engine, because I acquired a company that makes pistons before engines had fuel injection...
Just because they purchased a software company, has nothing to do with the hardware, or the final product.
Exactly. Take out that $1 part on 1 million laptops for example. Bam. That's $1 million that they didn't have to front, and eat the loss if no one purchased them.
To bring in a car analogy. I believe it was chrysler a few years back, when doing a new year minivan left out a single piece of trim from the previous year that cost them $1. Now, I don't know how many they sold, but I guarantee they probably sold quite a few at the same price as the previous year. $500,000 profit for not putting a $1 part on? Sounds good to me.
Also, where he installed them on the disk could impact performance as well.

With 7 being at the beginning and XP at the end, 7 would obviously be faster.
However if he installed all of them to a fresh partition, on the same disk, well that's a little more valid.
(I'm pretty sure that's right...beginning == outside of platter? Correct me if I'm wrong.)
I am unable to replicate what you're trying to say. I have Windows Vista x64 Ultimate running in a Virtual Machine under OS X. I cannot find the option to set to large icons. Unless this is an Aero Only feature.
I purchased a digital video camera around 10 months ago. It has FireWire for offloading Video, and USB strictly for snapshots that are located on the SD Card.
Yeah I'd say that's pretty horrible. This is what I got:

They don't set off the alarm. The computer in the car just decides not to put fuel or spark to the cylinders. Unless it's some aftermarket system. OEM doesn't do that.
Probably if you read the article you would understand how this works. But, this is slashdot so I'll explain it for you with quotes from TFA
To the Web server, the file looks exactly like a.gif file, however a browser's Java virtual machine will open it up as a Java Archive file and then run it as an applet.
So in short, The web server sees the file as an image, and serves it as such. The browser sees it as a Java applet, and RUNS it as such.
There is one catch, however. The victim would have to be logged into the Web site that is hosting the image for the attack to work.
The user needs to be logged in for it to work.
We all clear on this now?
Some one mod this guy NOT informative because it's completely wrong.
The Court also found that SoftMan had not infringed on the EULA (even if it had been upheld) because SoftMan had never run the program.
It doesn't say that First Sale will overrule the EULA. It says he never violated the EULA, because he had never run the software. Installing OS X requires running the software, and agreeing to the EULA.

Or a backdoor :p

Never saw The Simpson's when Mr. Burns blocked the sun? We could just do that.
I thought the same thing. Did a double take "Do they really mean 106,000?"

Wow. I live in West Chicago, and never knew of that place. Might have to check it out some time.

I do believe thats why Macs ship with a recovery disk. But hey, everyone just throws that away right?

That wasn't his point. His point was that stuff costs more in Europe. Which, by the numbers given (389 USD and 399 Euros) it proves his point.

Way to be a jerk. Slashdot isn't only about the latest iPhone release, or patent trolling. It's about everything technical, and this is good question.
I agree. No one could ever use that much.
