WTF? If you can climb all the way to registry-editing admin, why would you waste that trying to disable an update that prevents you from merely reading memory? You *ALREADY* owned the box to the point where you could load a custom kernel driver and simply sniff everyone's memory through that at full speed.
Historically, governments have a piss poor track record of actually limiting the scope of such measures.
For example, the income tax in the US was originally advertised as to only apply to something like the top 1% of 1% - and look where it is now (tens of thousands of pages that impact everyone, billion dollar industries around complying with it).
Once you let the government control X or do Y in certain cases, they'll try to expand the allowable cases as far as possible as quickly as possible.
I mean, think about it; other than the 1950s to 1960s in America, when has a far more progressive tax policy ever been correlated with broad-based entrepreneurship, small business expansion, and a nation rising to superpower?
We had a boom in the 50s *in spite of* our tax policies because the rest of the world was either piles of rubble or the "Red Menace".
Oh, Star Trek does predict humanity's future...but it won't be the Federation.
We are the NSA. Your biological and technological metadata will be added to our index. Your computers will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated.
What if you *didn't* want to off yourself in the first place? What if the suppliers were negligent and caused a crash yet it had been represented to the passengers that everything was fine? If limited liability like this passes, that is precisely what could (I would argue will) happen.
Exactly. Shit happens. If I get blown up I'm *DEAD*. If I want my heirs to have money after I die then I'll take out appropriate life insurance, not ask them to try to extract it from companies.
If fraud or fraudulent activity happens in the supply chain then that should be treated as a *CRIME*, which is an issue for the state, not a name-on-side-of-city-bus law firm (motto: "You've got injuries...we've got boat payments.")

And since it's completely immobile you have to buy one for each location you want to use it in!
More money for Apple!
A voice operated phone.....operators will make a comeback.
Then hipsters will demand actual human operators connect their calls.

The PDF from the FCC explicitly mentions blocking DD-WRT from being loaded.
Or, as biological computer interfaces improve, "Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated."
Venezuela enacted a country wide gun ban, and violent firearm crime dropped by 1/1000.
So it's at 999/1000ths the level it was before?
Sure seems "effective".
I tried using Google to search for articles on the era before Google, but it returned nothing.

According to the Java 7 SE docs, a TreeMap *IS* a NavigableMap. TreeMap implements NavigableMap.
So in a sense you're asking a trick question.
Apple will remove the camera on any of their shiny things for $99.
No. It doesn't. Why? Simple. The Post-It Note will ALWAYS be the CURRENT password. If not why have it there?
By avoiding trial, Snowden can keep the focus on the documents, not him.
... allows us to patch bugs or patch to add new features....
At that point, your job is half developer, half admin
Greater than the whole? Have you *seen* some of the stuff out there?
And yet if you blind all of the computer vision systems around you are they going to be able to find you? Probably not.
I read somewhere that there are less than 2^128 atoms in the universe, so we don't need IPv7 until we have cross-universe networking.
That can change.
Scotch is a drink

And it's web scale too!
