Actually the 30% was/is their take from all iTunes and App Store sales. They also charge a licensing fee (MFi) to make accessories with the 30 pin and new lightning connector. This fee is currently rumored to be ~$4 per connector or a percentage of the devices cost whichever is greater. { Fun fact: It is this licensing fee that led Square inventor Jack Dorsey to design the Square reader to use the audio jack instead of Apples connector. It cost $1 to manufacture the reader and it would have cost $4-$8 per reader to use the 30 pin. } I'm sure Apple has negotiated a comfortable fee with Visa/MC to use Apple Pay.

She's in a senior center which means she's at the mercy of the establishment. I'm betting that $80 goes right into their pocket as they already have internet and all they are going to do for that $80 is turn on the wifi extender in the room she is in.
It looks like there are enough big names wanting to escape the grasp of Intel's grip to tip the scales but only time will tell. I found a painfully in depth article discussing the reasoning and driving forces.
The majority of shops these days run a hypervisor on the bare metal and load Windows as a virtual machine. Now if Microsoft is working on an ARM version of Hyper-V that's a different story. But even the hard core Microsoft shops I work with use VMWare as their hypervisor of choice.
While I appreciate the aesthetic of trying to look like Doom and Minecraft I think Starforge would appeal to a larger audience in this particular genre. It just reached revision 1.0 and looks to be coming along nicely. The graphics are better unless you're going for the Minecraft experience in space. And while I haven''t played it myself yet the gameplay looks to be more polished but YMMV.

Simple...The appropriately greased palm of a majority of any politicians publicly opposed to said legislation.
I'm not sure how you will accomplish what you are looking to accomplish in the space constraints you outlined but if you do I suspect it will be using 3M's Novec 7000. It aint cheap but you can fully enclose your box and it uses convection to circulate.
The average home price in LA is over $500K. In San Francisco it is over $650K. In NY the median home price is over $350K. A nicer home in a better neighborhood in Houston is less than $300K. You can take your pathetic condescending attitude and shove it up your ass.
Shouldn't that last line be 1st hater? And who else saw CVS and wondered why Eric would want to stamp out comma delimited files (CSV...I know dyslexia)?
WOW! The fact that you missed the whole point of my comment (entitled E/W coast Millennials who think posting selfies on Twitter is worth 1/2 mil) and the insightful ranking means reading comprehension here is at an all time low. My post totally agreed with yours you just failed to grasp its true content.
That depends heavily on where you live. $100k on the East or West coast is considered poverty level by the entitled masses in those locations whereas that same $100k on the 3rd coast (AKA Houston, TX) makes for comfortable if not copious living.
Consuming CO2 rapidly, as happens when drinking carbonated beverages, leads to stomach expansion. The stomach is capable of increasing in size to accommodate a large meal but if the practice is habitual the stomach will actually grow in size permanently. There is a nerve where the esophagus meets the stomach that triggers when the stomach is full. When triggered it tells the brain to stop eating (you are no longer hungry). Studies have linked an enlarged stomach to overeating and thus obesity. So while it may not have a direct link to obesity there is evidence it may be indirectly linked.
It WAS the OEM's problem that's why they began locking their sh!t down. They couldn't have you upgrading the software on your device and not need the newest shiny. How would they stay in business if they let you do that. I bought the original Nook Color. Arguably the most hacker friendly android device ever made. I am running KitKat 4.4.4 on it ATM and it runs faster than when it was new. B&N realized to their horror they had not locked consumers into the B&N ecosystem and future devices were considerably less friendly to customization. I also have a Galaxy S (D700) running KitKat 4.4.4 with no noticeable issues. The hoops needed to get KitKat on the Galaxy SII (D710) were a veritable nightmare because Samsung started mucking with the works to keep me out. It has gotten so bad root ability and customize ability are now selling features for some OEMs.
Big corp CIO's need somebody to blame when things don't work. Open Source doesn't easily facilitate that. That is why Red Hat and Canonical have thrived. They have taken on the risk of deploying an open source product out of the CIO's hands. The support for proprietary products is in most part an illusion. I can't count the number of times I have had a product languish with an issue that the ISV had no intentions of fixing. Unless the problems affects a large enough group most ISV's aren't going to lift a finger to correct it. At least with OSS even if the maintainers of a project dismiss your issue you are still able to hire someone or find someone who happens to be interested in your issue to modify and possibly correct the issue. That's not even an option with proprietary software.
In your analogy your car would not be stolen. It would be copied and you would only know because you saw the guy driving it around.
Also your car would be parked in a gated parking garage and the parking attendant was the guy who copied it and made his copy available in the public parking lot.
Of course if you left your car unlocked and it got stolen I would most likely blame you for being so irresponsible but the attendant had elevated privileges to your car and should be held to a higher standard since he had been entrusted with your property.
I didn't realize badanalogyguy had another account.
In your scenario bithammer would be you taking out a hammer and hitting the guy with the bucket until he stopped taking food most likely due to the fact he is now dead.
I read the summary and imagined Soulskill hunched over his/her keyboard rubbing his hands together as he let out an evil giggle just before he hit return to publish michaelcole's submission. Knowing what hell was about to be unleashed on this poor soul.

Is there a better centralized method of communicating with them?

How about "chickens must be milked 2 times a day to ensure their well being".
I thought that was dubious too until I saw this on The Tonight Show

Throw away a brand synonymous with durability and communication and replace it with...ZUNE II !

Circumvention, by whatever means, is our only hope.

Nah it'll be a string bass getting progressively faster and louder. With ticking it could go off at any time.
