It seems the "scrap" element was just added as "junk science" clickbait. The fact that one source of metals is from recycling - well that's what metal recycling does. It turns cars and computers into ingots and back into cars and computers. I can turn mining trails into nuclear weapons using science too, but I haven't discovered anything.
Simple, reinstall win8.1 fresh from media, take ownership of everything on the drive and NTFS compress the whole drive, run system cleanup to be sure it's as small as possible, and set the page file to 0, and disable hibernation (powercfg -h off). Image the partition. Put it back on the drive with 1MB free, but only after you've used MHDD to ATAPI permanent-resize the drive to the minimum required LBA blocks.
You don't want to play their game though, it's done through one of those trade-in recyclers that resells equipment and always hoses the customer: Any appraised value will be determined at trade-in and provided as a Microsoft retail store credit.

I'm sure the ISIS in the middle isn't coincidence, it's meant to be some stupid marketing to pressure legislators into voting, else they get attack ads "Senator Hottentot voted against the Anti-ISIS act, does he want terrorists in your playgrounds?" Same shit show as the PATRIOT act story.
If you really wanted win10 pre-activation locked in, you'd have some monkeys go around to each computer with SSDs and SATA cards using a win7 image with either OEM certificates or a bootloader hack and let it upgrade THAT to lock in the upgrade on Microsoft's servers. After doing that, you can push an image on them. Why would you though? There is literally ZERO reason to use Windows 10 in a business place, and tons of reasons not to.
Microsoft Edge was built to take advantage of platform features in Windows 10, including the PlayReady Content Protection and the media engine's Protected Media Path," reports PCWorld. "The company said it is working with the Open Media Alliance to develop next-generation media formats, codecs, and other technologies for UltraHD video, and with chipset companies to develop Enhanced Content Protection that moves the protected media path into peripheral hardware for an even higher level of security, and one that could be used to protect 4K media."
So essentially, Microsoft, in the pocket of big media, is working against the consumer to manipulate hardware manufacturers into taking control away from users of the data on their own computers. This is not a feature, this is anti-consumer racketeering. There's the headline.
Regarding the performance, I wouldn't be at all surprised that Microsoft is again leveraging its position on the OS to engage undocumented and secret OS APIs to gain this anticompetitive advantage in the browser.
Most of the music that comes up with a search is authorized, uploaded by the record companies, and monetized by them. Many catalog files are uploaded there with just the music files by labels.
Files uploaded by other users have the song recognized by fingerprint, and will have the revenue hijacked by music companies instead of blocked or silenced like the old days. Music that may just be incidental, like even music playing on a TV in a background, or may be completely fair use. It is likely the artist never sees a dime from this, but the record company is getting the payola.
The artists can send DMCA notices if they have the rights to do so, but it is likely that they signed away all the rights and revenues in their contracts. The automatic takedown system and monetization is a sweetheart deal for RIAA members.
And they also can't help but repost the obvious clickbait headline that is not news and really has nothing to do with what is being reported on, which is the general account office released the report that details IT spending in the government, and their view of a lack of oversight of expenses, which has transitioned into support costs instead of paying for new systems:
In the report being released today, GAO is making multiple recommendations, one of which is for OMB to finalize draft guidance to identify and prioritize legacy IT needing to be modernized or replaced. In the report, GAO is also recommending that selected agencies address obsolete legacy IT O&M investments. Nine agencies agreed with GAOâ(TM)s recommendations, two partially agreed, and two stated they had no comment. The two agencies that partially agreed, the Departments of Defense and Energy, outlined plans that were consistent with the intent of GAOâ(TM)s recommendations.

Countries with brown people have set their own standards for beauty that include light skin, primarily because lower classes are ones that work outside and get darkened by the sun.

My SB6140 modem's web interface has two HTML form buttons: either a "reset" which wipes the DOCSYS training info (which can take 5-30 minutes to relearn to re-establish a good connection), or a "reboot". Hitting the first and then the second is maximum denial-of-service. Cable modems have no user password to and no way to set a password (while happily providing root to your ISP), likely all have similar unpassworded reboot buttons.
The cable modem web server does not need to be accessible, there is nothing useful there except signal strength info.
Even if you have a DMZ for WiFi, other users or their malware can probably get to this page and cause annoyance. I just added a rule to my pfSense firewall (goes between the cable modem and the LAN) to drop all LAN traffic destined to 192.168.100.1 and it works.
The Bitcoin mining reward halves every four years, making it less profitable in the future. Nearly 75% of Bitcoins that will ever exist have already been mined. Saying that miners will collectively be spending 30x more on electricity to mine 1/4 the Bitcoins they earn now is ludicrous.
I have contributed over a dozen machines to their count that aren't running Windows 10. I upgrade the system from a user-data-free Windows 7 disk image just to lock in the "one year Windows 10 free upgrade", which puts the computer configuration in the Microsoft databases of activated systems. The computer will then be automatically activated over the Internet if Windows 10 was needed in the future, even from a fresh install.
Also, turn off automatic updates to avoid a repackaged version of the thing sneaking back in. Microsoft is not to be trusted.
There are many other updates to remove also. The Windows update agent has had continual version pushes every month and has the backend to automatically download the windows update files to your computer.

Also good would be to get closer to the original source material when editing, especially for and including scientific papers. I wonder about whether many of these are paid link-outs when they lead to aggregator sites with very bland and dumbed-down coverage, but with lots of obnoxious ads and even the pop-over "sign up for spam".
The binaries are kernel-specific and X version specific garbage. Take a 2011 laptop or your average Dell computer with a AMD HD 3xxx video card, the proprietary drivers dropped support within a few years and you can't even update Ubuntu 12.04.x or you lose support.

At this week's RSA USA 2016 conference, I will be presenting my research on the attack surface and exploit mitigations in EdgeHTML, the rendering engine used by the Edge browser on Windows 10. One of the interesting features of EdgeHTML that I will discuss is its ability to use the built-in WinRT PDF Renderer library in Windows for rendering PDFs.
The feature is useful in that users do not need to install and maintain additional software for reading PDFs. However, the feature also opens up another attack surface that can be used to attack the Edge browser. This blog post takes a look at this library and its security implications.
Abstract: A blind HI survey of the extragalactic sky behind the southern Milky Way has been conducted with
the multibeam receiver on the 64-m Parkes radio telescope. The survey covers the Galactic longitude
range 212 degrees to 36 degrees and Galactic latitudes |b| less than 5 degrees to an rms sensitivity of 6 mJy per beam per 27 kmsâ'1
channel, and yields 883 galaxies to a recessional velocity of 12,000 kmsâ'1. The survey covers the sky
within the HI Parkes All-Sky Survey (HIPASS) area to greater sensitivity, finding lower HI-mass galaxies
at all distances, and probing more completely the large-scale structures at and beyond the distance of the
Great Attractor. Fifty-one percent of the HI detections have an optical/near-infrared (NIR) counterpart
in the literature. A further 27% have new counterparts found in existing, or newly obtained, optical/NIR
1
images. The counterpart rate drops in regions of high foreground stellar crowding and extinction, and
for low-HI mass objects. Only 8% of all counterparts have a previous optical redshift measurement.
The HI sources are found independently of Galactic extinction, although the detection rate drops in regions
of high Galactic continuum. The survey is incomplete below a flux integral of approximately 3.1
Jy kmsâ'1 and mean flux density of approximately 21 mJy, with 75% and 81% of galaxies being above
these limits, respectively. Taking into account dependence on both flux and velocity width, and constructing
a scaled dependence on the flux integral limit with velocity width (w0.74), completeness limits
of 2.8 Jy kmsâ'1 and 17 mJy are determined, with 92% of sources above these limits. A notable new
galaxy is HIZOA J1353â'58, a possible companion to the Circinus galaxy. Merging this catalog with the
similarly-conducted northern extension (Donley et al. 2005), large-scale structures are delineated, including
those within the Puppis and Great Attractor regions, and the Local Void. Several newly-identified
structures are revealed here for the first time. Three new galaxy concentrations (NW1, NW2 and NW3)
are key in confirming the diagonal crossing of the Great Attractor Wall between the Norma cluster and
the CIZA J1324.7-5736 cluster. Further contributors to the general mass overdensity in that area are
two new clusters (CW1 and CW2) in the nearer Centaurus Wall, one of which forms part of the striking
180â--¦ (100hâ'1Mpc) long filament that dominates the southern sky at velocities of â¼ 3000 kmsâ'1, and the
suggestion of a further Wall at the Great Attractor distance at slightly higher longitudes.
There was a Bitcoin exchange, Bitcoinica, that had $250k worth of Bitcoin stolen by what is widely regarded as an inside job by Linode admins or support staff.

If you want to slow them down even more, use MHDD to set the drive config, and set the maximum UDMA mode to DMA0.
