Or have even more...minor detail. Look it up. On Earth we have rain which along with time and sunlight tends to get into really tiny places and break things up and leach heavier elements deeper into the soil or downstream to the sea...
The long term plan is rent seeking. Like Office 365, etc. Windows 10 is just another step in that direction. Give the OS away for free (paid for by ads), and eventually charge for any "features" on a monthly or as needed basis. Oh and suck up and mine all that data that can be packaged and sold, too.
OK this is the "I'll be unethical because you're lazy" defense. Hey you're not perfect, so maybe it's ok if someone shoots you. I mean we're just applying the same code of ethics here.
From what I've read it doesn't simply ignore your attempts to disable this activity, it actively bypasses around it by connecting to different servers, etc.
From a security standpoint you are better off on 10.
[citation needed] Ok I'll accept that because Windows 10 adoption is so small there's not that much malware targeted at it yet. From a "security" standpoint IIRC, pretty much any security problem you have since Windows 7 has been your own damned fault for opening that attachment, running that trojan that came with that game/app you got off a disreputable site, or using shitty Adobe products.
You can't - unless you pirate it. If I recall correctly, the "condition" of the free upgrade is they invalidate the key to your previous version. It's Windows 10 or nothing, suckers! There's no going back!
and more surprisingly, you can build reliable systems out of unreliable components. That latter principle is the basis for the Internet
Closer to home it's also the basis for human bodies. I remember my the head of the Anatomy department at my school seemed to be obsessed with the notion that human bodies were perfect. Then again she was a religious nut. I never challenged her on this of course (there's no point arguing with a religious nut), but merely thought to myself "ok if we're so perfect then explain disease to me, and explain aging..."
I also agree that having unreliable components helps to "build in" redundancy. The human body, for example, can take a surprising amount of punishment on a cellular or even an organ system level, before packing it in. But I would think that with computer memory, unless there's some firmware or software error correction built it, you pretty much need that bit that you set to 1 to stay as 1 until told otherwise.
It was an experiment for undergraduate students. No one cares, and no one usually reads those. They all got a gold star and an "A" on their homework. You shouldn't insert too many facts into the picture, that's for post doctoral work.
That's easy - just grow it on the Moon or Mars? Oh, wait...
The other minor problem for those who bothered to read TFA... the soils (and thus the plants) are rich in toxic heavy minerals so no one dared to eat them. This problem will be "discussed".
But here's the clincher: despite being difficult and costly to manufacture, they were all very reliable.
That was kind of built into the design spec. The guy who build unreliable memory (you know, the one who came up with the Alzheimer Machine) - well he went bankrupt pretty quick right alongside the guy who invented a horseless carriage that only needed a horse half the time.
That's because copyright infringement is not really a police matter
Tell that to the guys who busted into Kim Dotcom's mansion in New Zealand with helicopters and automatic weapons. Or to the cops who arrested a founder of TPB in Cambodia. Apparently it's only a police matter sometimes. Other times it's not.
Or design an exam that can't be cheated on.... it's quite possible. Ever had an "open book" exam? They tend to be the hardest exams because they require thought instead of memorizing facts and notes. But they're hard to prepare, and teachers are lazy.

Classic tragedy format.
Fuck forbes.

Wow, how low we have sunk when Vista looks attractive, hehehe.

Windows 10 is a trojan horse. And it looks like it's letting in the entire Greek army.
China won't hack the stream, they'll hack into and mine Microsoft's servers directly and get what they need from there.

Aquaponics even better, if you can keep the fish alive during the trip.

Well he gets rescued, and THEN he dies... er, spoiler alert?
Not if you're taking biomass off every harvest. Oh sure you can put your waste back in, but nothing is 100% efficient.

Surely we can "Trust Microsoft(tm)"...
Everyone knows that dietary calories are in fact kilocalories. EXCEPT YOU APPARENTLY. Smartass.
I should know. I have colleges working on the real science.
And I have a friend in the Vatican does that make me an authority on religion? lol
There's always one. Sigh. Try cheating on your math test with your hearing aid or your brain implant.
How do you tell the difference? Using something called a brain. I know they're in short supply but...
