Well, there's a difference between QoS rules for all streaming video versus file transfers, and QoS rules for streaming video from provider X because they paid our ransom^W access fee to serve content to our subscribers that are already paying us for the same bandwidth.
Their innovations consist of ways to extract more money from their subscribers without actually delivering better service. They've also innovated in the ways they obstruct any and all competition from giving their subscribers any other options.
You've exactly nailed the issue. This isn't about offering "faster" lanes for people who pay, this is about clogging down and limiting the people who don't pay.
"That's a nice on-demand video delivery service you've got there - it would be a shame if somethin was to happen to it..."
You could have just left it at "nobody wants a crook."
The only difference between the candidates here is that one is already in civil court for fraud charges, and the other is waiting on criminal felony indictment resulting from a federal probe.
What a fantastic shit sandwich of an election we're having.
If those deals lead to stronger cases against those that refuse to admit wrongdoing, I'm okay with that. Drag every single actor in this thing into the light, and let their punishment be known.
You already know that part of the 'deal' they are taking to be a cooperator involves a clause that they will never again have a security clearance, so they will be unable to damage the country in this way again.
Well be careful - an indictment would be handed down by the Department of Justice. You could be right - that could be dealt with via political hackery, nepotism, etc.
However, once she's taken the Oath of Office, this kind of thing moves from DoJ to the US House of Representatives in a little process we call Articles of Impeachment, and a trial in the US Senate.
Good luck bottling that up if the information is out there in the sunlight.
you left off "in heavily redacted form which may conceal the nature of intelligence and national security secrets that were completely mishandled under the appropriate laws and guidelines."
More than that, ZFS was already under legal action from NetApp, so I have a feeling the licensing squabble wasn't just about money or support, but legal indemnity should Sun / Oracle lose that thing.
They actually had ZFS working for 10.6, but scrapped it because they couldn't come to terms with Sun. The package was on MacOS Forge back in the day, and the lead developer of it left Apple shortly afterward and created his own 3rd party implementation.
You do know that proper service is more than just changing the oil and filter right? How much do brakes cost? Radiator flush and fill? Brake fluid flush and fill? Transmission service? Differential service if it's all wheel drive? Tire rotation and re-balance? Alignment?
There isn't a car manufactured that "has no major service requirements until 100,000 miles". Maybe that's the interval for the timing belt, but you aren't going to go 100k without having to do all of the things I've listed above.
It depends on the make, and model. Some asshole manufacturers have the CANBUS running through the head unit (radio) so that if you remove it, things like the power windows stop working. I saw a Dodge truck like this once, and there was enough room in the dash that the owner just shoved the unit back in far enough that he could plug the speaker wires into a new unit that he mounted in the dash - that was the only way to get it done without buying some $300 aftermarket unit that could replicate the CANBUS functions in the radio.
Other manufacturers play nice and don't do stupid shit like that, so YMMV.
You would be surprised what you can do with an OBD2 port. On the new F-chassis BMWs (2012+ depending on model) the in-car CANBUS system will measure resistance and voltage on certain pins, and if it sees what it expects, that port stops doing ODB2 and starts signalling ethernet and TCP/IP to talk to diagnostic software.
They weren't stupid enough to do over-the-air updating, but you can build a cable or buy one for ~$30 to start poking around in the firmware, and even upload values to change how the car behaves in slight ways - turning off the govt. required nanny warnings that display for stupidly long times every time you start the car, increase the short-press on the turn signal stick from 3 blinks to 5, enable rolling up the windows and closing the sunroof if you hold the lock button on the keyfob, etc.
Yeah, because vigilante property damage is a fantastic cure for the issue. Especially when you get thrown in jail for actually doing something illegal, rather than just being pissed about people trying to get about their day through your overly-entitled shithead existence.
Intel-based Macs use EFI, and the Windows 7 booting was achieved through the use of EFI BIOS Compatibility Mode. Under Windows 8 and above you can perform a straight EFI install and it boots far faster due to leaving behind the programmed-IO legacy and legacy edge-triggered interrupt handling of BIOS.

It's rent seeking if not racketeering.

and by "expand, innovate, etc." you actually mean "stagnate, rent-seek, collude, and obstruct."
They have authority over telecommunications networks, and the Internet runs on those networks.
Get over it, astroturfer.

No, but block-level deduplication works wonders with VMs, especially when you have multiple VMs that are all based on the same core OS image...

This was before ZFS was licensed under CDDL.

Yeah, I'd hate to have all that reliability of a Toyota with extra comfort and a service plan that takes care of everything except fuel and tires.

Cite the specific statute that using hands-free is breaking. Or shut your fucking hole.
TLDR: [Citation needed]
You actually can. Now shut up.
Here's the actual text:
"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
It mentions the militia, and then EXPLICITLY STATES the right is of the PEOPLE.
At least one Federal judge disagrees with you. And I respect his legal credentials far more than yours.
... unless it's signed otherwise with "No Through Traffic" by the local traffic engineers and local law enforcement.
Thus, there is already a solution on the books that just needs to be applied.
Or post "No Through Traffic" signs and enforce them.
Yeah, because they absolutely won't have a single setting in Group Policy to disable the thing for entire AD forests.
OpenFirmware hasn't been a thing since PowerPC.
