This should be self-evident. If AWS was extra holiday capacity, they'd start shutting down AWS servers (or jacking up the rates) so that Amazon proper could get their needed servers back.

Close- they're planning on sending them via cell service. A service that they only charge the customer a fairly modest fee at the time of purchase. Whatever their deal is with the carriers I'm sure it saves Amazon a fair amount of money to compress the hell out of them. That said, why should everyone suffer for the convenience of cell downloads?
Yes, but with ubiquitous 3d printers, there will be more for sale.
I'm not taking a stance, just saying, easy, non-traceable production will make them much more available. If I had to guess, it'll be a bigger problem in countries other than the US, since guns are already fairly easy to come by.
All of the above is true- I also wonder of people clamoring for the 'abolishment of the electoral vote' have ever read the constitution or taken civics. There are clear reasons for it as you outlined above, and changing it would literally be impossible. You'd need a constitutional amendment, which would need to be ratified by the states, the majority of which would be giving up power- never going to happen (and imo, it shouldn't).
Now they're called assistants (or similar) and they still exist every where I've ever worked, there are just a lot fewer of them, and they don't type things up or take notes.
The shuttle can get to orbit with just two of the liquid fueled engines, but was designed to return with just one. Turns out, you can deorbit a shuttle with just the maneuvering jets.
Depends on when the failure occurs- there was an 'abort to orbit' where they lost an engine fairly late in the launch, and they continued to an acceptable, but not planned orbit. Losing an engine and still getting to the hard to hit space station is impressive. Most of the shuttles abort modes when losing an engine involved dropping the solids (and/or tank) and landing somewhere.
let there be light - big bang separated light from darkness - photon decoupling create firmament of heaven and separate firmament of earth and divide the waters of heaven and earth - planetary disc creation and planet formation
Exactly this- of course I have yet to convince any bible thumpers in my family that the bible's narrative fits the scientific explanation- they're all too busy arguing for things that are demonstrably false:/
Science can't disprove the bible (unless we invent a time machine), the bible certainly can't disprove science, and they rarely touch on the same subjects. Why can't we all just get along?? (oh right, the hate...)
Apple doesn't require it either... its required if you want a pleasant experience for the customer, but nothing is stopping you from running non-signed code.
Just to be clear (and given the rest of the post, I'm sure you already know), it wasn't OSX, it was 'Classic MacOS' for lack of a better term. The original MacOS that was probably still stuck on version 7 at that point. As you pointed out OSX was the re-purposed OS from NeXT and only had a resemblance to classic macos after much work to the Finder, and shoehorning old APIs into it.
I'll just throw in there- people forget how important Gil Amelio was to Apple. He recognized that classic macos was a dead end product, and that the rewrite was a disaster. His response was the best thing that ever happened to apple: He bought NeXT, and got Steve Jobs (who took over and fired Gil shortly after), and what became OSX. If Gil hadn't given up on classic macos, Apple wouldn't be here today.
But while you could open "/Volumes/My Big External Disk/Movies/movie.avi" via a file dialog to play it back, the software could not automatically also open "/Volumes/My Big External Disk/Movies/movie.srt" to show you subtitles.
So you have the user select the directory '/Volumes/My Big External Disk/Movies', as a movie repository. The app then has full access to everything underneath it.
It is an extra step for the user- they have to choose all of their movie directories (top level only). Hell you may even get away with / (I haven't tried).

Oh- right... I remember now that in the book its named after some other SciFi, but I never knew the source.

'Why does Facebook's smart phone app deserve so much press?'
with:
'Because they're paying for it'
Apple the notoriously gay unfriendly company has an anti-gay agenda?!
Because they're paying for it?
Its a good thing nobody was distracted before cell phones!
Likewise- I'm not in favor of it, but this is the first workable proposal I've ever seen.

Meh- he should just liquidate the company and give the money to the shareholders...
2) because 'the other side' doesn't use overboard scare tactics?

For non-Christians it's basically a paid weekday off with little value since you can't get anything done because most places are closed
Christmas is/was/has become (take your pick) a secular holiday for most people.

Better doesn't mean 'evokes a stronger emotion' either...
Its all subject.
Some people refer to 'The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland' as the UK, are they wrong too?
Which makes me question the wisdom of urban datacenters in the first place.
Who says they're unreasonable? Maybe Moto's demands are...
