I don't recall ever having a check accepted where I didn't have to show ID. Furthermore, unless it was forgery, the check itself identifies who wrote it, and who is responsble for the debt. None of that is true with bitcoin. In fact, that seems to be the main selling point of bitcoin.
Geez, the phone was not issued or owned by the FBI, it was owned by a county. The FBI and a county are in no way related, except that they both are part of governments (though not the same government). Why do you try to equate them?
First of all, it was a 12 year battle, not 30, and second, how do you intend to enforce whatever FOSS license you like without copyright law? Suppose the case was the FSF suing IBM for putting GPL Linux code into their proprietary AIX product, would you still be complaining about copyright law?
And, no, we don't owe this battle to copyright law, we owe it to a corrupt company attempting to pull a scam using copyright law. WTF is wrong with the mods?
Wifi uses (wait for it) radio transmission. You would have to be a complete moron to consider a device with active WiFi to be 'air gapped'. Even more shocking (to you) is the fact that even wired devices can also have radios!

The park hours are not 'highly variable'. They are posted well in advance (like a year). The only thing that varies is 'Extra Magic Hours' which are only available to guests staying on property. And the fireworks and parades happen every night.
Made tickets expire that didn't before - so what? Is there some reason anyone has to keep offering the same thing forever?
EPCOT has different operating hours for the two sections? So what - the hours are exactly as advertised.
Closes rides and doesn't replace them? Such as?
Stops the monorail while people are in the park? So what? The buses and boats operate until every person is out. The monorail goes through a hotel, so they stop it earlier to keep the noise down in the hotel. Again, known well in advance and exactly as advertised.
Lower the number of attractions? Bullshit. All of the parks have more attractions than when they opened. MK opened with 23, now has more than 40. I don't know how that is 'less'.
The parks don't all have a lot of rides? Yeah, that is what sets Disney apart from the others. Studios is about shows. EPCOT is some rides and cultural stuff. Animal Kingdom is animals. If all you want are rides, go to Six Flags.
Fast Pass? Everyone I know loves it.
Weekends are not a particularly busy time because they tend to be travel days. Holidays are busy, not becuase of 'our wonderful capitalist system', but because that is when kids are off from school, and many people consider it a good way to spend a holiday with their family.
The crowds are bigger every year. A few loudmouth whiners does not constitute 'backlash'.
The only reason MS has the keys is because everyone else is too lazy to do it right. We sign our own images, and our key is the only one that will boot.
Other than pure FUD, why mention Windows or Microsoft at all? We have hundreds of servers running Linux that have Secure Boot enabled, and our requirements for the next gen of servers is that the Secure Boot can not be disabled. So don't pretend it is just a 'Windows' thing.
Dragging MS into it is really childish. A manufacturer that gets a Windows 10 cert has the choice of allowing Secure Boot to be disabled or not. Are you trying to claim that a manufacturer who DOESN'T get an MS certification is somehow prevented from that option?
Of course you own it. Do you ever have to give it back? No? Then you own it. Can you sell it? Yes? Then you own it. Does anyone else care what you do with the device, including destroy it? No? Then you own it. Does your ownership (of anything) put requirements on someone else? NO.
The air pressure is lowered (not a hard vacuum) in the tube to reduce air resistance. The compressors are used to provide an 'air cushion' between the tube and the capsule, not to provide propulsion. Acceleration is done with linear induction motors, but most of the time it is just coasting.
Why do you stick with your idiotic 'it has to keep pumping' idea? Are you really that stupid? After the original evacuation the ONLY thing the pump needs to do is pump out the LEAKAGE. And if the thing is leaking 750 CFM per mile something is very wrong.
Exactly. That is why every jar of vacuum packed peanuts has a little pump included that is running 24/7. Because it is not possible to maintain a pressure differential otherwise.
Oddly enough, the people at SpaceX managed to think of that! Their calculations show they need 14768 6-meter pylons, 2175 15-meter pylons, and 966 30-meter pylons, for a total cost of $2.5B. There is nothing even close to 'hundreds of meters high'.
I said 'long distance flying'. HL is supposed to replace SHORT distance (few hundred miles) flying. And he says where he gets his cost estimates - from building pipelines, which we do today using the same materials.
The entirety of hyperloop is built on pylons of varying heights. In effect the whole thing is one big bridge. This is one of its major selling points, and why CA is chosen.
No, it is NOTHING like that. Perhaps you should consider reading more than one sentence. In those tubes there is different air pressure ahead of and behind the module. That difference in pressure causes the module to move. In the hyperloop, the air pressure is THE SAME throughout the tube. The pressure is kept low to reduce air resistance, NOT to provide propulsion. And the compressors are used to create the air cushion to keep the pod away from the tube. If the compressors fail, there is this amazing new invention called 'wheels' which contact the tube and allow it to move (at much lower speed). ALL of the propulsion is done by linear induction motors, which are hardly a new invention (ride Rockin Roller Coaster at Disney World if you want to see what they can do).
And there is no 'train', it is single 28-passenger pods.
Where are you getting the idea the HL costs more than HSR? The whole point of it is it is supposed to be much cheaper. The initial proposed route of LA-SF is supposed to cost $6B for HL, or $70B for HSR.
Still ignoring the whole 'airplanes' aspect of it I see. I wonder why that is? Do a sufficient number of airplanes to cover a route just appear out of nowhere for free?

An employer can't do a damn thing if you don't connect to their network and don't use the device on their property or their time.

Reading is Fundamental. They printed a MOLD in order to mass-produce the blades using regular manufacturing techniques.

Uh yeah, that is my point.

Um, it is exactly because the trains don't go fast enough. What convoluted reason do you think it is?
You don't know what hyperloop is if you think air compressors are moving the train. Read up on it a bit.
