No, that's not it. It's not meant to protect the local machine, but the network. If you have local access to hardware, you control the machine. Assuming that the machine is sufficiently secured-- the OS cannot be replaced or bypassed-- a user could still harvest credentials by simply running a user-mode program that emulated a logon screen. CTRL-ALT-DEL cannot be trapped by a user-mode program, thereby avoiding this security issue.
No, it didn't. The original PC had no hard disk. The XT came with a 10 MB hard disk that wasn't much better, with 85 ms seeks and transfer rates of maybe 200 KB/s.
Yes. This is why household plumbing is largely copper. PVC is a little cheaper and easier to work with, but it doesn't have antibacterial properties so it should only be used on water lines where necessary.
Apparently, plumbers are smarter than hospital administrators when it comes to bacteria.
Imagine that every day, you came into work and your boss said, "You already do A, why can't you do B?" Repeat every day until the entire alphabet is exhausted, and so are you.
We pay a lot of taxes already to have law enforcement do the job. It's not the job of businesses to actively police their users, any more than it's the job of a farmer to put cameras in every acre in case someone tries to plant some cannabis.
Forcing people to buy health insurance or be fined, then putting the load on everyone else if they can't afford it, is not "liberal".
The most Reagan did to foreshadow Obama was to tie federal funding for highways into the drinking age-- for which he should have known better, because one of his shameful predecessors did the same with the speed limit.
You need to learn what "conservatives" and "liberals" really are before you discuss politics anymore.
The confusion clears once one realizes that the 18th amendment did not technically outlaw alcohol, but gave Congress the ability to regulate it. The Volstead Act was the enabling legislation that banned it.
We are lacking a constitutional amendment that gives Congress the right to ban medicinal or pharmaceutical substances. It is arguable that only states might (depending on their own constitutions) have the right to ban these within their own borders, while the federal government would have the right to ensure that such substances did not pass illegally from a permitting state into one that was not.
Power supply that can feed the card what it needs and then some.
That part's funny, because it used to be that you had to account for the hard disk and CPU consumption; now the GPU takes more power that either of those.
The thing is, 10 year old kids usually aren't ready for violent games in much the same way they aren't ready for professional sports or quantum mechanics.
We have this idea that kids as old as 16 aren't "fully formed" people.
I'm not so worried about 16 year olds. But as a society, we have governments that tell us that even 18 year olds aren't ready to drink, buy their own health insurance, gamble, get a mortgage, or own a handgun.
Nope, she's dead of natural causes. And I'm having trouble following your AC logic.

Heck, we had to do this with PCs in the late 80s through the mid 90s before OS/2 and Windows 95. People had DOS boot menus in autoexec.bat so they could choose to boot up with maximum conventional memory, or to emulate EMS in XMS for Lucasarts games. I loved OS/2 because, while the Windows 3.x people had to exit and maybe reboot to play a game, I could fire it up from my desktop for a quick break of X-Wing and quit right back to the paper I was working on. That was amazing back then... unless you had an Amiga. But then, Amigas didn't have memory protection, so you'd better remember to save the paper first.
So I'd say that the cops are doing a damn fine job when they're ticketing/arresting people speeding, running lights, drinking/texting while driving and so on.
I'm not sure what data you've used to come to this conclusion. Don't we need a data point comparing traffic deaths WITHOUT heavy enforcement?

The IBM PC came out in 1981, so it was too late.
I'm sure the 801 CPU wouldn't have cost any more than the 8086/8, right? Or consumed any more power? Or needed any special, non-commodity parts?
You could have just as easily criticized them for not using the System/38 CPU, right? 48-bit addressing!
That's a pretty low bar.
Nope. Desktop wallpaper.

There are reasons why it's considered the hardest job in the world.

I miss my PAS. That, and Turtle Beach when it was in Pennsylvania and sold entry-level professional cards and software.
Overclocking has always been, and will probably always be, expert-level shit. Except for OCing those Celeron 300As to 450... that was child's play.
