A lot of the UEFI systems with secure boot, it's either Secure boot + UEFI or legacy boot. It gets difficult to make unsecured boot on UEFI. But poor firmware implementation is nothing new.
No, all consumer x86 should have that ability. Not that they all actually work properly to the UEFI specs once you do. But on an unlocked platform you should be able to add custom keys. Anyways, some embeded x86 systems can be locked (beside intel allows it only on chips designed to go into DVR's and other embeded devices)
550 could probably get you h2 from water + electrolysis with about 45-50% effeciency. I think about 900 is where and Iodine-sulfer process to get hydrogen makes sense. (which is driven soley by heat). The Haber process requires lower temps, 350-500, but the hard part economically of it is getting the hyrogen.
MSR's can follow loads somewhat, but you really don't want them to as the thermal stresses will greatly decrease the usable lifespan of the graphite cores.
Some other problems - The graphite cores to degrade in the nutron flux, but also absord some transuranics, leading to a bit more of a waste issue than just the fuel cyel.
The other issue is it's just barely a breeder with low nuetron speeds, and at the high nuetron speeds makes a lot of transurancis (is less prliferation resistant)
Another is that fuel processing can't be done in the core, and continous processing is a challenge for the amount of salts that need processed.
So even though I'm convinced it's possible, there is still a huge engineering challenge to get everything worked out to the point you have a break-even breeder.
My hope is that Sea Land or something like it will offer to play host to the first reactor, and make a lot of money just by selling synthysis products. Letting china get there first has some disconcerting implication for the global balance of power.
You do get greater effeciencies with high tech, but the ringer is that you can drive chemical processes at this high temp (with 90% heat capture) vs. having to drive these processes with fossil fuels on concentration or newables through multiple steps. We absolutely need cheap and green ammonia to both feed the world and reduce carbon emmissions.
Even with fuel effeciencies, there is capital cost effeciencies. Building a reactor and then having to sell the power at negative prices doesn't make much sense. Having a co-process availible makes a lot of sense. Addionally utility companies pay a premium to load following capacity. Sustainability requires that the economic picture of a poduction tech makes sense.
Most families have more than one car, and most people drives less than 50 miles per day. A pure EV can be cheaper then a PHEV, Plus the PHEV has the maintainace requirement of a conventional car. If my family had the typical two conventional vehicles and were looking to buy a new vehicle I'd look at a EV before a PHEV.
You're thinkin about it with one person as one car, but for many the family rather than the individual is the basic economic unit.
Light passenger vehicles contribute very little to road wear. A wheel tax or congestion-based toll plus impact fees are simple enought to recover congestion alleviation costs. If a per mile-tax comes along it should be heavily biased against large freight vehicles which do 90% of damage to roads not related to weathering.
It's be nice is someone came up with an in-home tech that could beat the price of lead-acid for energy storage. It'd also be nice if you could build subdivision not hooked into the local electric grid and rather just use an HOA managed solution.
And if you can get high-temp nuclear it gets even better. As the high temp can directly drive a gas turbine, with effecient-on demand access capacity from natural gas. (baseload of 30MW up to 60MW with stociometic mix of natural gas. And if production from renewables low-temp nuclear is enough to make the spot price of nuclear dip below a certain price, then you can use the heat on the high-temp nuclear to make ammonia, small hydrocarbons (for fertilizer or carbon-nuetral motor fuels (You'll not be powering semi's on electic, by you can convert them to run on dimethyl ether.) http://dieselnet.com/tech/fuel...
You could probably get rid of coal entirely, which by the way releases more radioactive isotopes per GW than nuclear does.
"Or do you accept that a certain minimal number of children accidentally killing each other and dudes shooting themselves in the dick is the price we pay for freedom that is arbitrarily unregulated."
Your question is flawed. Nothing in the world can be arbitrarily unregulated as no regulation is the original or natural state of things.
And yes the most practical way to assure freedom is to have clearly defined and respected (arbitrary) lines that regulation shall not cross.
"Why not use technology to help with that?"
Which tech. There a few situations where a fingerprint reader on the gun offeres much more safety than a good safe with a fingerprint reader, and introduces many more failure situations. (can it read fingerprints through mud, grease, blood, or papercuts?) Maybe good for a range or hunting gun, but as a self-defense standpoint there are reasons not to use that technology. Adding tech into a system is not always a pure improvement, often tradeoffs have to be made and costs paid.
The application of a mathematical process to a copyrighted work, thus a modified version of that same said work. Th And see the liberty or death clause in the GPL. If some legal reason prevents distribution it may not be distributed. If general copyright law prevents distribution under the GPL, then the claimants work as licences under the GPL may not be distruted in an illegal manner. There is at least a question in issue here.
1.The only part of a DMCA that is made under penalty of perjury is that you are indeed the copyright holder of the claimed infriged work. Wesely certainly is the copyright holder in this case.
2.Just because Wesely own copyright on that code does not mean he is entitled to the requested relief.
3. Maybe it can be said that the license was a nullity from the start because if never could have affected to sorts of rights it claims to give, even more so in light of the liberty or death claused withing the GPL. Anyways, indeed, what a mess.
Mojang doesn't really gain by having the popular mod system removed.
The decompiled server code is in legal limbo. Really if Mojang wanted to assert a claim against it they could probably prevail at this moment.
It may be an attempt to get Majang to say "No, I don't really have any rights or interest in that decompiledsever code", but instead he just said "I'm not reposible for distributing that code", leaving on the table the issue that was attempting to be forced. (The copyright bomb in the decompiled sever code)
And the entirety of the rest of the vehicle code? At the very least he failed to maintain a single marked lane, excess speed, and reckless, careless, or negligent driving.
Yes, the Ingenic MIPS are a good example of modern MIPS design, with quad core at 1GHZ comeing in at a one watt TDP. The loonbson 3B probably could have beat the i7 on some workloads if it had come out on schedual and a modern process. Now that intel has openCL support it's less likely as half the cores in the loongson 3 series are/were supposed to bed dedicated vector processing units.
Another interesting comparison would be the MIPS Tilera design vs. Intel's x86 Knights/table Many Integrated Cores (x86-MIC) design. I would think it's easier to fits lots of MIPS cores on a chip, but then again the x86-MIC leaves a lot of the fancier parts out of the cores.
Keep track of the overages and when they add up to enough to make it worthwhile file a claim into small claims court. Send a letter to legal now explaining your issue and warn them you will file if the meter is not accurate into the future.
The advantage over not paying that bill is that you can show your actions were taken in good faith, and even if you lose there aren't going to be debt collectors callling you or bad reports on your credit score.
Other option is to start your own ISP.
The U.S. imprisons more people per capita than any other nation. Police and prosecutors careers are positively correlated with convictions. So yes there are cops out there who will smash thier boot into your face in an instant if they think it will help them get that next promotion.
The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all.

There's another option which is the let the last mile be publicly owned and get companies to bid to deliver to the public infrastructure.
And the ripping up roads is less and less of an issue with new horizontal trenching methods. Anyways it can be limited to what is neccessary with the appropriate fee scheduale.
The teleco industry in the U.S. is/was extremely regulated, it's just not regulated very well. Additionally many of those countries have much higher population densidies.
The value is not in the number, but in the integrity of the chain of numbers. The integrity of specific chains is preserved by the limitation upon raw number. The numbers are not provided in the market without differentiation between units. That is block-chains of any *Coin is provided to the market with differentiation between them.
An alt coin that doesn't have a specific technical advantage over bitcoin is going to fail unless it can jump ahead of bitcoin in terms of adoption. Those with technical improvements have the potential to offer a chain of greater integrity. Being first and having the head start is a pretty good indicator of greater integrity as well.
The reason to reject governmental fiat currencies to date has been no substantial guarantee that banks and governments will not rig the game in their favor. The reason to reject non-governmental fiat currencies to date their vulnerability to interference or catastrophe. xCoins offer strong rules that are transparent and driven by consensus, as well as offering a robust infrastructure.
I'm not 100% sure Ameriprise was distributing the work withing the legal meaning.
Form my quick research, especially with reference to the blizzard case and copying to RAM. IF you purchased a copy of the software (physical medium) then that includes the right to copy for installation and execution. If your essentially buying the license then you can only copy to RAM for execution in accordance with that license.
Re Section 7/ Exactly, it's not meant to allow patent control by the copyright holder. A GPL licensee should be able to assume the licensor isn't going to turn around and sue them for using the software within the copyright licence. That would be a restriction on use of the software, which the GPL asserts is not restricted to use.
Section 8 might be relevant if Ximpleware insists the GPL'd distribution of thier XML-thingymajig does not include a patent licence withing it. They had the option and opportunity of openly assert this. However such assertion it ommited, and the doctrine of estoppel can also arise due to omissions in a representation.
Of course a breach of the GPL terminated any of the rights held by the offending party. (explicit or otherwise), but a full finding of fact is going to have to raise the question were copyrights actually violated (was the program copied, modified, or distributed in breach of the GPL). And if you already have to adjudicate those facts, I find it odd as to why Ximpleware would not additionally pursue copyright claims --- Some weird legal thing?

How else can you verify the integrity of firware + bootloader + kernel? It seems like a useful thing to me, if I'm the one who gets the keys.
