I agree. I would add that a lot of consumer electronics makes no effort to allow the user to prevent dust and dirt contamination. I've installed heat exchanger boxes for PCs used in industrial environments. They have dry chilled filtered air pumped in though they may or may not have air flow or thermal monitoring they usually don't need it.
I've done something similar for a home theater server and equipment setup using a dedicated room which has a partition that holds an AC unit and hepafilter for incoming air. It works very well but it needs a temperature and airflow monitor which can shut things down and notify you of problems.
Monitors are harder and I have no good solution for those other than cleaning but newer ones can be of a destructive open type, the plastic is designed to be destroyed when opened and the maker would just replace it as it's cheap to them. Those require some ingenuity to reassemble but I usually can get them back together without either buying new plastic if available or creating an enclosure. I've cleaned and replaced the capacitors and backlights in a good 100 monitors and counting. I also have cleaned and replaced the capacitors on a pile of motherboards though fortunately for customers the quality of motherboards is getting somewhat better.
I can't see someone supporting a game for more than a year or so unless they have a revenue stream from downloadable content.
An OS I can see security updates being a requirement for a decade.
Some software packages dealing with finance will most likely need update and I don't expect those to be free.
The simplest mentioned is check the serial on a new install which I won't fuss with bypassing. Let me play it without the serial with either level or time restriction for a game. Let me do enough with other programs to get an idea how they work.
I currently have a Samsung Vibrant. Does anyone know T-Mobile's unlocking stance? Also will Samsung abandon the phone just as soon as they damn well can and leave owners vulnerable to malware? This happened with the Vibrant but fortunately I could use community generated firmware with as much security fixes as they were able to do without trashing compatibility with binary blob drivers.

Ask a medical student preferably one that's a surgeon and research scientist how they'd keep your finger alive and pulsing. There may still be a professor at the University of Texas Medical School who was on the cypherpunks list and listed what he could do to keep some body parts alive in the late 1990s I'm the technology has improved.
104 billion dollars? How much cultural impact can you have with that amount of cash? Diversifying to other investments would be part of it but with that level of wealth I suspect he'll be having a large cultural impact considering some of his statements.
It tastes good. It's in the US. I would prefer going to a juice bar and nibbling on coriander chutney sandwiches and drinking carrot juice but I'm in the Midwest. If I smell like prey I'm in trouble so I get a dollar double as maintenance. I get my juice fix in hidden speakeasys with a good floor show and great meat free food.
The Linksys stuff took a nose dive in both reliability and software quality under Cisco's steerage. Belkin does better for some things though they are spotty on others. They are a very large player and I hope they unfuck what cisco's been fucking up.
Bring your ass to Indiana we have a growing biotechnology corridor. We like guns that don't look funny. Claremont and Greenwood are speed traps and that blond einsatzgruppen in Claremont can bite my shiny white and hairy ass and yes I told his boss that and to google what that meant. He didn't show in court. PANSY. Seriously he looked like a Nazi propaganda poster but...no balls. Perfect as a camp guard.
We seem to do well here with niche high tech companies no one's heard of since they're quietly employing people and doing good bidness.
Oh Indy is a sewer, flyover and eyesore even if they did kowtow to stupidbowl demands and lipstick the pig. Avoid it and stick with the tech corridors.
Don't go to Kentucky, you might find some chick with a skylift bra and then be making littluns in some dry county and running moonshine. *eep*
Christians think different than I do. I don't suck up their crap either. I'm fortunate not to have attended whatever insane school/social/peer/weed farm them or Cory went to. Cory is a drooling fanboi. Canonical has proven itself evil.
I was a fan of Ubuntu but Canonical cured me of that. Christians cured me of Christianity.
This should crack some screwbuntu or xtian fanbois touch screen/mouse as they beat me as a troll.
Do all the cool touch screen wicked BITCHUN shit but do it for the wrong system in the wrong way with the wrong tools and make them happy Magic Kingdom goers GAG on it.
That does make me wonder if there is a better standard in use somewhere in the world. I also wonder if there should be a standard for the nutrition labeling not of what is on a chart somewhere but of what testing confirms per batch of beef, other meats or fruits and vegetables, grains, etc. It would increase the cost of food.
I suspect there would be some fairly good fights over what testing should be done to prove the nutrition of the end product, what is good nutrition, etc.
After eating small farm raised eggs by someone who gives a damn, comparing the taste to what I get in the grocery store and seeing the results of testing on them I would like to see that happen.
When you say it that way it's down right creepy! Hey wait, were you that person who would whip up the skeer on the frightwing boards during the 1990s? HRMMMMMMMMMMMM?
That sound you hear? It's their reputation screaming in agony. It's the sound of their doom. Lets let them die the death they so richly deserve. I'm blocking CNET from entering any system I control. How about you?
NEC had one glorious little monitor, pretty thing and expensive but if were plugged into the wrong card it would most of the time sheer the picture tube off, it would at best damage the phosphor. This would happen right at the part of the yoke closest to the face. Couple an odd reaction by the vertical circuit to a higher vertical frequency to an increase in horizontal frequency resulting in a very high boost in high voltage unchecked by an inadequate x-ray protect and you had in effect an electron cutting beam till air entered and arcing caused it to finally draw enough current to trip the safety. NEC just replaced them with more expensive units.
It's complex, if they're just a cashier then in some businesses that change you left them will make their drawer over at the end of the day which can result in dismissal. If they take the change out and leave it on the counter or in a dish they can get dismissed for using them as counters for how much they cheat customers out of change. If they pocket them it can be said to be company money and they can be dismissed and in some jurisdiction the store could press charges with a strong chance of a heavy fine or jail time.
An example, when I was very young, terribly young learned that the neighbor was watching porn on his TV. By a happy chance they'd wired it up to their antenna and their TV so were broadcasting their porn. With a hand made low noise amp which I had for other reasons I was able to watch.;)
I was just a throw in to make the paranoids twitch.:-P
I had an IBM tempest certified PC case and keyboard I bought salvage. Massively constructed. The keyboard was very good and very heavy. I sold it to a ham radio guy as it is very good at shielding the PC from interfering with the ham radio setup.

The IBM article is slim on about everything. It seems to imply you have to put a liquid on the gate to turn it on and another to turn it off.
I'd need a lot more info from them to even try and understand WTF they have.

They've proven they're not trust worthy or a long term solution to your storage or other than trivial tech needs.
I will never trust Google the perverted clowd clown for any non-trivial tech need.

Goofy but they work and are extremely reliable. They are especially good at masking talking and music.
On the minus side as always "The problem with biometrics is keeping the body parts alive."
Now it means having to keep just enough alive it can act like the original.
I have a quote about this I'd stated ... a score ago?

No keyboard no way. Without the keyboard they got nothing I can't get from other sources cheaper.
I agree though I will point out what they're doing will be GPLv3. I'd prefer javascript die, you can do all of that with TCL. ;)

UK standards are not very good. Hell JTM patties would fit their 'good' hamburger standard. Their lower standard is crap.
I compared it to US standard and I think I'd avoid McDs or any place that serves burgers in England/EU unless they match or exceed the US standard.
I'd have no problem with 100% horse meat if it met the US standard.
When you say it that way it's down right creepy! Hey wait, were you that person who would whip up the skeer on the frightwing boards during the 1990s? HRMMMMMMMMMMMM?
Just stick a PC there tied directly in to the government servers. Let the government figure the bill and the tax. Simple. ;)
