Apple TV Gen 4 meets all of your criteria. Don't forget that it supports pairing a keyboard, and you can also control it from an iPhone or iPad if you have one of those. Now with the app store, there are lots of add-ons, including MythTV and Plex, which opens up the world.
I am always somewhat stunned by posts like this. People seem to think that "entity1" did it before so it's ok if "entity2" does it now, even when "entity1" did their bad deed a long time ago. Most bizarre. This is firmly in the "two wrongs DO make a right" camp.
Ok, I have a counter-anecdote. I had one of those cheese-grater, dual-cpu, water-cooled Power Mac G5's. Loved it, very fast. One day I turned it on and got nothing, deader than a doornail. Took to the Apple Store. They looked at it for a bit and came back and told me it was unrepairable and would I accept a new Mac Pro for free instead? So, yes, I got a new, $2,000 computer when my 5-year-old G5 died because of a water leak. So. Check, your turn.
That is not necessarily true. In many cases, the smaller neighborhood roads (and lights and curbs and sidewalks and sewers) are paid for and maintained from special assessment taxes levied against the homes along the street.
OSX has built-in VNC, both client and server, and Messages has a configuration-free, built-in "share screen" feature, which can be invoked from either end.
While I generally agree with you, I don't think you appreciate the level of training, drilling, and oversight that nuclear sailors experience. Basic training is two years of intense stuff including calculus, physics, chemistry, metallurgy, and just plain operating the plant. And THEN you go on to a really ship and go through a whole bunch more training. On top of that, the nuclear Navy is generally made up of the top 2% of all sailors.
I can't imagine a civilian ship company being able to stand up a crew that is capable of running a reactor safely. It is the training, intelligence, dedication and oversight that makes those reactors same.
The difference is there wasn't quite so much competition for cars then as there is for fast food today. People are very price-conscious with burgers and fries, and a small increase can drive business to your competitor.
Comparing a software company to a hardware company is not exactly a fair comparison. Of course a software company has high gross margins - they only manufacture the media and the boxes (back then). And a few keyboards and such.
I think way to many people forget where that extra $5 is going to come from: higher prices. This is the definition and cause of inflation. Someone gets more pay, the prices go up, everything nets out to be the same.
The other thing I'm concerned about is what happens to everyone else's pay. Will they guy that's now making $15/hour (like the EMTS, construction workers, etc.) now get $20? Wouldn't they expect that? What about the guy/gal that's now making $25? And so on. In the end you get nothing but smoke and steam.
I'm also concerned about the notion that every job should pay enough that anyone would be happy with that job. In such an environment, the motivation to strive to be better is significantly reduced. If you don't need a better job, why work harder to get one? What happens to society when that becomes the norm?
No. It has kind of a complex heritage, but, essentially, OSX is based on FreeBSD with a Mach-derived kernel. It does come with a load of Linux-originated utilities and code. This is particularly the case of the server variant.
That's not the deal at all. Apple can't decrypt it. The FBI wants them to remove the safety measure where the phone will discard the encryption key altogether after 10 failed attempts at guessing the passcode.
Sorry, no. Everything sent to Apple is encrypted. The iCloud backup is encrypted. I'm too lazy to Google for the multiple, multiple references to this, but here's one.
Unless there's a catastrophe of some kind that turns our civilization into the ancient Egypt of the future, I'm pretty sure that civilization a billion years in the future will know it's data. They'll probably be able to read it (what WON'T they be able to do?). They just won't care about it.
Submarine diesels are not quiet at all. They're not meant to be, as they're only used in emergencies, on the surface or at periscope depth. In fact, they're quite loud, requiring ear protection for operators.
This. ISIS doesn't phone in warnings, they kill people. If they had a bomb in the schools, they wouldn't say a thing. Now, all they have to do is phone it in from time to time in various states and they've succeeded.
The C-130 and it's variants (AC-130 and KC-130) are arguably the most versatile, long-lasting and best engineered platforms out there today. The A-10 would also be in the list of best-engineered airframes not the planet.
One can find plenty of arguments and lots of scholarly papers written that are both for and against SDI and Reagan's impact on the USSR. I suppose it partly depends on which way one leans, doesn't it? Anyway, here's a nice article summing things up over at the WSJ. I think anyone denying that SDI was at least an accelerating factor is really just sticking his head in the sand.:)

Yeah, that's pretty annoying. According to what I've read, the ball is in Amazon's court.

He's JUST the person I would go to for economic advice! I mean, look how well Greece has been run.

What, do you just make stuff up out of raw bias? They were north of 44% last quarter.

Right, but I'm thinking the folks of a billion years from now might have a few more technological skills than we do. :)

Curiously, she seems to be polling higher than the lead republican candidate (Trump).
That has more to do with Trump than Hillary.
Doesn't it seem to be a bit self-serving for a repair company to complain that things need to be more repairable?

Actually, that was about convincing the Russians it would work, and then they would bankrupt themselves trying to keep up. So, yeah, that worked.
Yeah, their prophesy doesn't quite fit the current world, so the lump all of the West together as a virtual Rome.
