The explanation for this was that they're all clones in the "first" series, but by episode IV, attrition has lead to the need for conscripts that were non-clones. The vast majority of the troops would still be the clones though.
Correct, but misleading. The Federal law is related to the payment of debts, not payment for goods/services. Institutions MUST accept legal tender to discharge legal debts.
Which isn't what the BigIP does. F5 is a company, BigIP is a hardware load-balancing and traffic-management system. I've seen 'em, I know what they do.
Hotmail has never run on Linux. It USED to run on Solaris (which was the platform it was originally developed on before Microsoft purchased it). It was then converted to IIS over Windows Server for the front-end and Solaris for the Backend mail storage, and is now fully Windows Server based.
My guess is get compliant and pay the legal costs. The rest of it is to let Cisco know that they mean business and they need to get in line with compliance, or pay the price.
Telco companies have received massive subsidies to implement new infrastructure, and they have failed to spend that money to perform the upgrades that they agreed to do. Why should we now pay even more money to get them to do the work they've already been paid to do?
See my other comment. Most Japanese manufacturers build the cars local to market to save costs, so using that as a way to define "foreign" vs. "domestic" isn't really accurate.
The same can be said of Honda, Mitsubishi, Nissan, take your pick. Most "Japanese" cars are assembled in the markets where they will be sold, it's a way to keep costs down.
Basically, if you're in compliance with the CCA requirements, there isn't anything they can do about it.
The CCA is now trying to change the license to prevent copying, but every storage system on the planet is going to file complaints and litigation if that happens.
Your interpretation of how Ex Post Facto works is incorrect as applied in US law.
If what was previously a legal act is declared illegal, those that committed said act while is was legal are proof against prosecution(think prohibition).
If what was previously an illegal act is made legal, there is no point in prosecuting those that committed the act while it was declared illegal, as it is now a legal act (think prohibition again).
Regarding increasing a punishment after the fact, I believe you'd actually run afoul of double jeopardy laws (one cannot be tried and/or punished for the same crime twice), not ex post facto.
Kill off the Zune and Xbox? You're kidding, right?
The Xbox is a primary money-maker for Microsoft these days. The revenue stream from 360 title sales and Xbox Live memberships is outstanding.
The Zune is also doing well. The 80 GB units have been doing VERY well sales-wise, and a lot of the "Social" concepts are very innovative. Yeah, it's not doing IPOD well, but who is? It takes time to make serious in-roads against an entrenched market leader that's been around as long as the iPod has.
He doesn't know what he's talking about, or you're in a state with really odd laws.
Generally the "rule" is that you need to be passing the center-line of the intersection when the light turns red, without accelerating.
An exception is made in cases where remaining where you currently are would result in a public hazard (i.e.: you're sitting in the intersection waiting to make a left-hand turn).
The point of ABS is not to improve stopping distances (although it does tend to have this effect in dry conditions), the point of ABS is to allow you to continue to have control of the vehicle while in an emergency stop situation. ABS prevents the front wheels from locking under hard braking, which allows you to try to maneuver to avoid a collision.
A pipe dream of mine has been to build a house with solar panels to be ZEU, and then use the extra energy to power a home hydrogen generator, which I could then use to fuel-up a daily driver converted to run off of hydrogen.
I figured this would give me a nice little kick-back from the power company (I'd feed any excess after the above back in to the grid), and my only real bills would be for water/sewer/gas (just use the gas for cooking), as well as lower my personal dependency on oil.
Well, apparently YOU haven't, because you're wrong.
The House of representatives is every two years, the Senate is every six. The senate elections are staggered so 1/3 of the seats are up for election every two years.
RTFC:
The House of Representatives shall be composed of Members chosen every second Year by the People of the several States, and the Electors in each State shall have the Qualifications requisite for Electors of the most numerous Branch of the State Legislature.
The Senate of the United States shall be composed of two Senators from each State, (chosen by the Legislature thereof,) (The preceding words in parentheses superseded by 17th Amendment, section 1.) for six Years; and each Senator shall have one Vote.
Immediately after they shall be assembled in Consequence of the first Election, they shall be divided as equally as may be into three Classes. The Seats of the Senators of the first Class shall be vacated at the Expiration of the second Year, of the second Class at the Expiration of the fourth Year, and of the third Class at the Expiration of the sixth Year, so that one third may be chosen every second Year; (and if Vacancies happen by Resignation, or otherwise, during the Recess of the Legislature of any State, the Executive thereof may make temporary Appointments until the next Meeting of the Legislature, which shall then fill such Vacancies.) (The preceding words in parentheses were superseded by the 17th Amendment, section 2.)
By that argument, I should be able to complain that I can't play Super Mario Galaxy or Zelda on the Xbox 360. Negotiating for exclusives is part of the game, it's what distinguishes competing products in the market from each other.
I think you're blaming the wrong thing here. USB is DESIGNED to be able to be removed at any time (with the exception of hard drives, and only if you have the advanced features turned on). If CUPS is too shitty to tolerate a USB printer being removed, then maybe CUPS should have some more development done.
And what the hell are you using a USB print server for? If network printing is THAT important to you, go buy an inexpensive office printer with ethernet built in.
The most important thing is the old legacy ports operate on old legacy architecture, and it's slowing down your fast computer to talk to it. Get rid of PS/2, com, and serial ports, and you can get rid of the old bus that supports them.

A catalytic converter has nothing to do with "knock" (pre-ignition) in an engine, it is an emissions component.

No worries, we all get stuff mixed up from time to time.
Which isn't what the BigIP does. F5 is a company, BigIP is a hardware load-balancing and traffic-management system. I've seen 'em, I know what they do.
No, you don't know what the hell you're talking about. The F5 BigIP does load-balancing and traffic management, it's not used for content delivery.
It ran on Solaris, not Linux. It is Windows Server end-to-end now.

Umm,... you DO know that Toyota is a Japanese manufacturer, right?

The point is you shouldn't have to disable the device. Why should windows waste time looking for a disk before I want to access it?
You're talking about Jaguar. Ford bought Jaguar primarily to get their hands on their design for an IRS (Independent rear suspension).
