In fact, Intel themselves have been saying this for months. Anyone who thinks "they're just getting lazy because they have no competition" has no actual contact with the company, and knows nothing about their internal processes.
The whole point of Ivy Bridge / Chief River is to get the same performance out of an 18W part that you got from a 45W Sandy Bridge part. Maybe a little more.
This is all about the "UltraBook." They want Dell and Lenovo to be able to make notebooks that don't make you want to smash it with a hammer because it's so slow, but yet still gets 6+ hours of battery life too, because it means that volume is going to go up as everyone buys new stuff; and they know that Dell and Lenovo aren't going to do the R&D necessary to do it, at a price people want to pay.
If it works like the iDrive system in BMW, the ECU stays active for about 10 minutes after the car is turned off, in order to remember navigation position and the creature comfort stuff like heated seats being turned on. Mercedes is likely putting this update check in after such an interval.
As for the brake and tire wear checking, that's done by a Mark-I eyeball installed in a service technician at the dealership, which is included in the service plan that comes with the car.
You realize that "Mick Mechanic" isn't going to be working on that car, because it comes with an all-encompasing service plan, right?
The only guys turning wrenches on that car are employed at the Benz dealership; and it likely doesn't start any update until after 10 minutes of ECU inactivity - plenty of time to raise the hood and disconnect the negative battery terminal.
Except that you can repair it from the UEFI shell, or a UEFI binary written to replace the infected file with a clean one on the installation media / over the wire.
Aren't they doing that with Windows 8, and getting slapped around by all the linux guys over it by saying "OMG they're locking us out of our own hardwarez by requiring the secure EFI bootz!"
Wasteland II has been an idea kicking around for 20 years in one form or another. For a long time, most people thought that Fallout was to be the successor.
With the way the world is trending, you may want to review some of those decisions.
Active Directory is where large organizations keep their user and site information, which is why Macs and Linux can talk to it too. Increasing sales of non-Windows devices (Mac, iOS, Android, etc.) at the same time as the Windows market is shrinking show that people are not nearly as locked into Windows as the industry once thought.
The developers that put in place a strategy today that is platform-agnostic will be the winners 5 years from now. Someone could probably make the argument that Java was 10 years before it's time, in that regard.
Spoken like someone who truly doesn't understand that computation time = money for some professionals. That $5000 can pay for itself in a month in some professions.
I'm surprised you got the full 28.8. Usually you'd end up at 26,400 bps because the telco was running you through a muxer, giving you only enough frequency spectrum for a voice call.
The #1 issue that modem companies would get calls on with 56k modems, was "I can only ever connect at 26,400!" It was a magic number that meant that your telco was screwing you with your pants on.
The point of the comparison, is that we've been down this road multiple times before, and clearly we're going for another lap. The last two Presidents got them to stop with the nuke stuff, just to have them throw out the inspectors and start up again. You can practically set your watch to it.
Or, he's counting on the optimistic left to get duped into thinking that, again; and just like in a Peanuts comic where Charlie Brown is going to kick the football, Lucy just yanks it away one more time.
I believe the phrase you're looking for here is "oh, bother."
IPv6 is available on all those platforms, but hardly any print devices, and maybe only 1% of the worldwide installed base of anything is actually using IPv6.
Combine Bonjour printing with a printer that understands PDF, and you'd really have something. Just have the in-built PDF generator create your document, and then TFTP it to the printer. Out comes your document.
That can be mitigated in ways. On the train manifest, the particular container (I would imagine that if they sent this kind of stuff, it's specialized handling container would be in a standard ISO container) can be flagged as a "hot to chassis" delivery, which gets unloaded with priority. They unhook the car, roll it to a sidetrack, pull the container off the rail frame with a rubber-tire gantry, and drop it on a highway chassis. The truck then hooks up, and drives out the gate.
None of this, however, prevents the problem of trains being very obvious, and not having the ability to change their route easily, nor the ability to change timing without screwing over every other train scheduled to use that section of track.
This is why you shouldn't just rely on a "locked down" image. You should also have some asset inventory and / or application metering running if you want to keep it locked down.
If a report runs, and all of a sudden you see chrome.exe showing up, you can have a chat with that user, and it doesn't come as a surprise when a bunch of people are using it.
Well, that's because you're capable of rational thought.
If this isn't the perfect example of a political bulldozer being used to make a mountain out of a mole hill, I don't know what is.
Disclaimer: I'm no fan of this administration, but not even the Undersecretary for Primary Education has visibility at the individual school district level, much less the President of the United States.
When a company goes bankrupt the money goes to creditors and this lawsuit will eat into that money, effectively fooking everyone over, who may depend on that (I don't know the situation precisely).
Which is no different from if Apple sued them 6 months ago, wins a huge settlement, and Kodak then declares bankruptcy. The creditors, including Apple, are still just as hooped.

As opposed to a power source that spews deadly toxins into the atmosphere, which contribute to thousands of deaths per year, through normal operation?

Guess that isn't the case now.

Myst in on some phones:
Myst on iOS
Cyan has another title on Android, so maybe they're gearing up for that too.

Maybe if you're coming from off-continent.
300ms is the typical latency of an analog modem.

Just as long as every single tin of Spam has the US State Department seal stamped into the side of it, so that the people know where it came from.
Enough is enough.
You mean, besides the part where I can take it to any commercial establishment in my country, and have it accepted as payment for goods and services?
Dollars have that, bitcoin does not.
Because Bonjour / ZeroConf / Rendezvous predates any form of IPv6 adoption outside of a lab?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonjour_(software) - 2002 introduction in Mac OS X 10.2, present in every version of Mac OS X since. Also available on Windows, Linux, FreeBSD.

Never mind. Too simple - it will never happen.
I forgot that they managed to somehow erase all previous versions of CUPS from existence. Don't like it? Develop it yourself.
Apple has no obligation to support people using their code outside of their products, open source or not.
I'd be happy with drive enclosures that don't either have 4+ slots, or come pre-populated with drives, or both.

And it's still somehow Apple's fault that Kodak's management team is shit? I don't see where you're going with this.
