But that version of Windows 10 is not available without volume licensing. I know that hacks exist to upgrade Windows 10 pro to enterprise, but they carry the caveat that your license key is not a real one.
I was not referring to the various types such as Coke Zero, Diet Coke, Cherry Coke, etc... just Coca-Cola. Off the top of my head, was old Coke, new Coke, and then Coke Classic that eventually just got called Coke (which was similar, but not actually identical to old Coke).
That's not what I was getting it. It is coincidental that they share names certainly, but the coincidence also creates the ironic situation of happening to call an iPhone a "Mac", which is most definitely not coincidence because Apple's Mac and their iPhone are two entirely different products, and one is not the other (yet).
If one has a router through which all internet traffic must pass, is there any way to configure the firewall on the router to block outbound requests that come from cortana without blocking all outgoing connections from a windows machine's MAC?
... it will be before these companies are finally issued the ultimatum of not being permitted to conduct ANY business within the USA until they comply with these demands to weaken their encryption?
No.. the reason I would suspect that could not win is not because Microsoft is so rich, but because they would not be able to show that Microsoft was contriving to break their application in the first place. This isn't because that's not what Microsoft is doing, but because it is doing so at such a pace that to suggest that they are at this juncture is naught but speculation (even if it does turn out to be true, which I expect it will). The advantage of bringing this up in court now is that Microsoft would have to make formal arguments that they are not currently being abusive, and these arguments would limit their options to do so later, whereas waiting until they actually are will be simply too late, and the damage done will be utterly irrecoverable. The disadvantage is that with absolutely no sustainable case at the present time (even though I believe that it is almost certainly true, I know of no objectively valid basis to suggest that it would be), I fear that doing this could be inferred as a deliberate attempt to manipulate the court system into furthering a company's agenda for its own profit, rather than using the court system to achieve a just ruling (because justice does not generally consider events which have not yet happened), and Valve could end paying punitive damages for wasting the court's time.
Like, including what floor you happen to be on in an apartment building?
... uses your Wi-Fi, GPS and cell tower information to pinpoint exactly where you are
None of that contains any information about altitude. While it is technically possible to measure altitude as well and relay that, you cannot do so with enough anywhere close enough precision to get the exact floor of a building that you happen to be on if you live in an apartment building.
Land lines still rule for emergency services immediately knowing exactly where you are.
Every app that I have for windows (none of them are games) does not work in WINE.... the only linux option I have is to run them inside of a windows 7 virtualbox
If you are expecting a message, and do not receive, it, then how would your VOIP being hacked stop you from noticing? You might not realize that your VOIP has been hacked, but how could you not notice that you didn't receive the message?
If the message is intercepted while it is being delivered, but is still otherwise delivered normally while a copy is saved elsewhere, I can see that being a problem, because the recipient gets no cues that interception is occurring. But that's not what I was talking about... the article talked about the problem of messages being intercepted and then *NOT* being delivered, which I would imagine is not going to be a serious problem.
I had once thought that this was because of a provincial court ruling that ordered them to do so, but I've been told since that this was not the case, so I can't say I'm entirely sure what would have happened if they had made any real attempt to argue against it. Perhaps they didn't feel it was worth the fight, particularly if they thought they would only lose anyways.
While I like this idea in general, the biggest problem with it is that Valve would need to knowingly invoke the courts in a case that they do not expect to win. This could be seen as a deliberate manipulation of the court system and a waste of its time, and Valve could pay end up paying punitive damages.
It's the forced stereoscopy.... when you project different images into each eye, unless you are sitting only at certain spots in the movie theater, the angle that your eyes will have to converge to fuse the two images into a single 3d image in your visual cortex is unnatural with respect the distance that the visual differences between the two objects conveys to your brain about the apparently distance of what you are seeing.
Holograms would not have this effect, since where you are focusing on when you view a hologram is consistent with where the 3d image actually is supposed to be. The image appears as fully 3 dimensional as would looking at real physical objects on the other side of a pane of clear glass, or looking at things in a mirror.
But I imagine we're still some years away from real holographic movies being a thing.
Can someone enlighten me as to approximately when the expression "begs the question" started to mean "raises the question", instead of the informal fallacy of assuming that an unproven premise is true as part of a conclusion?
Many jacks wear out because the standard audio jack has a moving part - a mechanical switch that allows the device to detect that a jack is plugged in so that the device can "know" to use the headphones for audio output instead of the speakers. This mechanical switch easily could be replaced with an optical sensor that detects when something is plugged into the jack without getting rid of the jack entirely.
By the time floppy drives stopped being standard on computers, not only was alternative and superior technology available, but it was so ubiquitous that including the obsoleted technology served no purpose for most people.
While you can certainly argue that alternative and possibly even superior technologies are available for the headphone jack, they are not so universally used that the headphone jack has already largely fallen out of disuse, as the floppy drive had by the time they had decided to replace it. Maybe that time will come, but we are not there yet.

is there a way to configure openwrt to give an ip address of 127.0.0.1 or something for the reuests that come through?
To be fair, however, there were at least three variants of Coca-cola that all went by that name in just the past 40 years.

I wasn't arguing for anything. I was asking question.
Dammit, I hit submit instead of preview,,, totally flubbed up the opportunity for a pun about whining.

No... just law enforcement.

I fully agree with your main point, however.
While I like this idea in general, the biggest problem with it is that Valve would need to knowingly invoke the courts in a case that they do not expect to win. This could be seen as a deliberate manipulation of the court system and a waste of its time, and Valve could pay end up paying punitive damages.
wouldn't the person who is expecting to receive it kind of, you know, notice?

speaking as one who has been hit twice as a pedestrian I'd like to let you know that it's actually very easy to do.
Not approving of what a person might do does not necessarily mean that one dislikes the person as well.
Indeed.... and I still think Boaty McBoatface would have been an awesome name.
Perhaps the term "flat rate" would be more applicable?
