They actually tried this before. Way back in the DirectX 3/5 days, the installer not only included the run time, but a set of updated drivers too. MS ended the practice when Windows Update became available.
2015 Audis sold in the USA with MMI 3G+ navigation have real time traffic data via SiriusXM, the car should have come with a 4 year complimentary subscription.
They aren't even selling phone numbers. You can purchase VoIP services for dirt cheap without a number if all you plan on doing is making outgoing calls. You only need a phone number if you want people to actually call you.
4.5% is high for someone with excellent credit. The captive financing arm of any major automaker will finance for much less these days, usually 0-1.9% depending on promotions. Heck even a bank will give you an auto loan for around 3% or less depending on the length.
I don't understand why innovations like those found in BeFS (like rich metadata support) go ignored whenever someone creates a new file system. If you are going to break compatibility, you might as well add in some useful features.
A final note: I'm a bit annoyed that “Never10” is as large as it is at 85 kbyte. The digital signature increases the application's size by 4k, but the high-resolution and high-color icons Microsoft now requires takes up 56k! So without all that annoying overhead, the app would be a respectable 25k. And, yes, of course I wrote it in assembly language
They could put more than 16GB of storage into the iPod Nano, but they seem unwilling to do so for some reason. They even refreshed the lineup with new colors, but left the storage capacity the same even though the price of flash memory has crashed since the product was introduced FOUR years ago.
P50G25 owner here. Don't be surprised if it dies soon. My unit just popped its 2nd SC board and is sitting on the floor awaiting repair. Disassembly isn't too hard, but the board repair involves a ton of soldering (31 parts, some surface mount), so I sent it out to a re-builder (replacement boards are hard to come by).
LCDs still aren't on par with plasma viewing angles and black levels. OLED should hopefully be better.
The problem wasn't storage related.. ReactOS 0.3.17 uses the UniATA driver, which I confirmed working with my hardware under various versions of Windows NT. Both machines tested were in legacy mode, not AHCI. The setup program ran on one machine after I artificially limited the RAM to 256MB (Dell BIOS had the setting). After it completed the first stage install and rebooted...... nothing, just the initial boot loader ran and likely froze when the machine switched to protected mode. I'll give this latest release a shot, hopefully they fixed the problem.
Hopefully this release will actually boot on real hardware. The last 0.3 release wouldn't even boot on circa 2007 Core2Duo hardware! This isn't cutting edge stuff as far as drivers are concerned.
It also didn't help that state agencies and contractors couldn't design a sign with Clearview properly, enough so that they created a FAQ with a gallery of what NOT to do. They didn't have to drive too far as Maryland was by far one of the biggest offenders: http://mutcd.fhwa.dot.gov/resources/clearviewdesignfaqs/. This decision to end the "intern approval" of Clearview has been coming for almost 2 years, so this isn't exactly news. It didn't seem to stop states from going wild with sign replacements though.
TYCO used to make their own LEGO clone called "Super Blocks" that caused havoc. They were easy to pick out of the pile though since the pieces were noticeably more "glossy" than the genuine LEGO bricks.
NT 3.51 and 4.0 supported x86, PowerPC, Alpha, and MIPS. Support for all but x86 was dropped with Windows 2000. One interesting artifact of the MIPS support was the use of ARC style drive/device paths in NTLDR that finally went away in Vista.
The PE is usually the one who looks over and signs off on plans. They are usually liable for any design issues as well and one of the first people contacted when something fails.
You left out used cars, they make WAY more money on those compared to new ones. Its a key part of BMW's business model. They deeply subsidize cheap leases on new BMWs to keep their dealer's inventory of "certified" pre-owned vehicles well stocked.
A "good" insurance agent can save you money by shopping around providers for the best price and determining the amount of coverage for your needs. If you only need a basic auto policy, chances are you don't need an agent. Once homeowner's insurance and other policy lines come into play, an agent could be helpful.
I had to recap an Amiga 4000 desktop that I acquired. I would be far more concerned about any leaking batteries though. Leaking Ni-cad batteries do FAR more damage to PCBs than the caps usually do.

All of Verizon's LTE phones (which also have CDMA radios) use SIM cards.

LHArc compression tools were available on MS-DOS. id Software was quite fond of using it to compress their software.

The Priv is available on Verizon now.

Verizon can't even be bothered to maintain their copper lines for POTS, let alone offer DSL.
Pulse dialing still works here with Verizon FiOS Digital Voice.

IBM's CGA card came with NTSC composite output, which most clone cards faithfully included.

Its already happening.
Smart meters are coming to PSEG territory "soon" based on what I've heard. They have already deployed them in Long Island shortly after taking over LIPA's grid. Maybe the NJBPU should get around to dealing with all the scammy alternative energy re-sellers that flooded the marketplace after deregulation. http://www.nj.com/business/index.ssf/2014/06/nj_third-party_energy_provider_charges_overcharging_consumers.html
