How many chemicals that 'would not sound nice...' do you suppose are in a strawberry? Way more than 42. Or are you one of those Food Babe reading dopes (since you reference Suprer Size Me I guess that could be) who believes that 'natural' molecules are different from 'artificial' molecules?
Everyone knows that they sometimes start with public domain works. I want an example of how they prevent anyone else from using those same works (minus all of the Disney original stuff like story modifications, artwork, music, songs, etc).
The FDIC does not insure a bank for robberies, it insures depositors against a bank failure. Also, the FDIC does not get any tax money, the money comes from premiums paid by the member banks (and income from investments made by the FDIC).
Uh, no. Those are the requirements for the initial issuance of a 'Real ID' approved license. If you don't want to present all that stuff you get a regular drivers license, which will not be accepted for ID for domestic flights, etc.
Clearly you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. First, 'margin' is (revenue-cost)/revenue. Clearly, this number can never reach 100% unless the cost is 0, and it can't exceed 100% unless the cost is negative. Obviously, these two situations never happen in real life.
Second, acual industry profit (net) for groceries is between 1 and 3%. That is a very low margin. Gross margin averages around 10.5%. Average markup (at the retail level) is around 12%.
You do know there are NO OSs that use BIOS, right? Not a single one. It would take one hell of a lot more than 'understand bigger drives' to make BIOS useful, starting with running in other than real mode, and continuing with support of all the device types that have appeared in the last 35 years or so.
Haha! Good one! The original BIOS (circa 1981) provided a small set of 'standard' calls for text-mode video, serial port, parallel port, diskette drive, cassette tape, and not much else. By the time DOS 2.0 came out they were already starting to use device drivers, as the BIOS calls were simply not sufficient. When the 386 was released with 'protected mode', BIOS usage dropped to 0, as you could not even access it in protected mode. There are NO modern OS's that use BIOS.
I take it as meaning they want to use the 'firmware as a service' aspects of UEFI (all UEFIs), but their current UEFI (TianoCore) is a bloated mess that is too difficult to maintain.
Seriously? Firmware as a service has nothing to do with subscriptions or fees. It means that an OS gets access to firmware functions by an architected interface (ie a service) to the UEFI. That is as opposed to BIOS, which provided no such functions, so every device manufacturer had to provide their own interface to their firmware via proprietary drivers.
Wrong again. Any distro can publish the public portion of their signing key, and anyone can install that key using the OS of their choice. If you chose a crappy vendor that does not allow installation of your own keys, that is on you, not MS.
Bullshit. We have our Linux images signed with our own key, and they work just fine. There is zero Microsoft involvement. FAT is 'lots of redmond tech'?
As is normal on slashdot, 99% of the people complaining about UEFI appear to have absolutely no idea what it is or does. UEFI has nothing to do with 'fancy graphics set-up screens (although it may make creating such screens much easier). On all of the UEFI-based systems I have used, the setup screens look exactly like BIOS screens.
And WTF does UEFI have to do with giving Microsoft a monopoly? If anything, it does exactly the opposite. The access to firmware functions is provided by standardized UEFI calls, not proprietary drivers provided by a device manufacturer.
The actual 'earnings' they report ARE the profit (or loss). The earnings report does contain other numbers (such as revenue) that are used to help understand the earnings, but that additional information is NOT 'earnings'. 'Earnings' do not always refer to exactly the same thing (sometimes they are reported as 'after tax', sometimes pre-tax, sometimes 'after interest', etc), but they are ALWAYS some measure of profit, and NEVER revenue.
That is the dumbest definition of earned ever. Earnings are monies received for labor or service. If all of your revenue goes to your expenses then you have earned exactly $0, because you have no money for your labor or service. By definition, earnings and profits are the same thing.
Yeah, it says that. It also says "consumers who create more text revenue" will pay more. Then again, it also says the purpose is to increase revenue, while also claiming people won't be paying more. The whole thing is full of California-speak.
I was not joking. Also, I did not mean to imply that I think including 'esports' is a good idea. I was just pointing out that, historically, being 'an athletic event' was not a requirement for something to be in the Olympics.
The founder of the modern Olympics wanted it to be about 'men being educated in mind and body competing in something other than war'. The art competitions were removed not because they 'were not athletic events'. but because they had difficulty finding amateur competitors, as well as the inherent difficulties in judging such works.
I don't see anywhere where it says the problem is 'their phones'. However, even that is the problem, export laws (of all countries) include more than physical goods, they also include technology. So if they are exporting any US technology to make their phones (and they most certainly are), those phones are still under the terms of the export license, which state that it can't be transferred to Iran.

Give some specific examples of that
As to 'business machines', they sell zSeries (mainframes), pSeries (UNIX servers), and storage.

Are you really this stupid? PROFIT is the money the business EARNED. Exactly how do you think a business can EARN money without making a profit?
Yeah, it says that. It also says "consumers who create more text revenue" will pay more. Then again, it also says the purpose is to increase revenue, while also claiming people won't be paying more. The whole thing is full of California-speak.

True, but up until 1948 the Olympics included architecture, literature, music, painting and sculpture categories at various times.
