Another reason is probably that various redundancy & failover & backup technologies have matured enough to rely on them, so for any but the smallest centres, a bit shorter hardware lifespan causes a bit higher maintenance/replacement costs, but not lower application reliability and certainly not catastrophical failures (such as losing all the data).
I would also like more of that. But as it is, there are cars like that but they are not among the most popular electric ones: VW golf, up Mercedes B, smart Renault Kangoo Fiat 500
or even XML, and 300 baud would be "fast enough" for most purposes.
Not even close. For a relevant example, in the XML-based OpenADR standard (demand-response, i.e. control of electrical loads such as heating) the "oadrDistributeEvent" message (essentially the command "you water heater, turn off now") is a few kilobytes, or over a minute at 300 bps. The response oadrCreatedEvent (ie.e ack) is over a kilobyte.
This "no self-incrimination" thing should not be viewed as some God-given right. It is simply due to the fact that when your teacher asks "Johnny, did you pee on the toilet seat?" your incentive to lie is so high that it is better to not depend on your testimony. This is not the case with passwords and similar, where the judge can instantly see whether it is correct. That said, "I forgot the password" is of course possible and should be believed unless proven to be false.
As far as I understand, any form of publication is enough. Somebody else may still get a patent on the same thing, but it should be easy to invalidate it by just pointing to this publication.
Unverified info from a smaller European operator: transition to LTE is the goal, 3G will be gone mid-term. 2G will stay for a long time because too much deployed (mainly IoT, phones don't live very long anyway) equipment is not LTE-capable.
Not at all. Yes, the client-side is OK, but the server-side (eg Google Docs) is completely closed. It would have to be Affero GPL to allow you to deploy a modified version of the web app.
Chromebook is almost like a computer with all proprietary software, connected to a display and keyboard with free (GPL) firmware.
Eh.. slashdot ate my less-than signs, so let's try again. 26" is smaller than 27.5, which is smaller than 28, which is equal to 29. 27 is larger than all others.
Why "restrictions management"? Digital rights management is perfectly appropriate, where "to manage something" means "to lessen something, or the effects of something". See weight management, anger management, crisis management...
Channel owners want to lock you into their channel, regardless of which device you use to watch it. Device manufacturers want to lock you into their device, regardless, of which channel you will watch on it.
Not really. A response when someone tries to sell these newfangled horseless carriages could be: "Finally arrived to my mother's... hours late, after buying a pharmacy's worth of strange smelling liquid and improvising spare parts from my clothes. #BerthaBenz" Adding a sound card to a PC 25 years ago was quite an adventure as well. I suppose making a phone call on an OpenMoko was similar.
Technology will mature and stabilize, IF it can actually do something useful.

Thank you for polluting our common planet more than necessary.

... use another device, even a cheapy burner...
Why settle for a cheapy burner when you have an expensive burner?
You forgot to include the sharks. They must fit in there somehow.

And about bicycles... let's sort the common adult bicycle rim sizes by their actual size:
26 27.5 28 = 29 27

Didn't Jobs and Sculley get excited about some beautiful doorknobs?
