Actually the first time I used a Mac (a Quadra running System 7) I crashed it. Then I saw an iMac running MacOS X and... I crashed that as well. It took less than 2 minutes.
I keep hearing that crap about resale value but most of my interactions with Mac users nearly inevitably end with them trying to offload their old hardware on me (plus anyone else which is nearby) and everyone rejecting it. It does not matter which label is on it hardware prices devalue like a rock once they get obsoleted.
You can just use OpenGL for graphics with OpenAL for sound. The networking bit you can write using BSD sockets. Then SDL is only used for opening a windows and getting inputs.
Modern RISC processors are not that simple anymore. It used to be that they had no multiply or divide instruction but all modern RISC processors have those. It also used to be that their memory addressing was simpler but several modern RISC processors like POWER have complex memory addressing schemes. So boh.
They were wrong. Try to find their original timetable for 64-bits on the desktop. You were supposed to wait for Itanium (which at the time was called either IA-64 or EPIC) to filter down.
The CPU core is Sandy Bridge so the processor is 64-bit i.e. X86-64. I guess that since you would be hard pressed to find a non 64-bit X86 system today they skipped that bit. This is what used to happen in the past as well. We have had X86-16, X86-32, X86-64 up to now. Besides the addressing space is not of the utmost importance since this is most likely a cluster with message-passing.
How about doing it like SSH? The first time you install something with a new key it tells you "the key *blah* is unknown to the system. Do you want to proceed? yes/no". If you say "yes" it memorizes the key.
De Raadt is a pretty nasty person to deal with but it is at times like these that I really respect the guy. He may be obnoxious but he has his principles and anything that either reduces the security of the system or removes the ability of the user to control the system is anathema to him.
They should have tried going with the Linux key. Even if not all hardware vendors supported it at first and support was miserable it was a better option than this crap.
It is you who do not comprehend. The default installed key should not be controlled by Microsoft. At best if there was a default installed key it should be controlled by a 3rd party which does not conceive or sell OSes Even that bastardization called AACS used in Blu-ray is controlled by a consortium of companies. Not a single vendor. IMO there should be no access control which is not explicitly controlled by the user since it only provides a false sense of security. For all we know Microsoft or someone with their key could still sign malicious software and it will still run on your machine. It would not be the first time there is an issue with certificates. But if they want to add this crap they certainly picked the best way for them to control the market at will.
What would you think if Microsoft was the only presently available registrar in the Internet and that you had to convince every single hardware vendor in order to get an additional registrar?
The Concorde specs never improved but they could have. There are afterburning turbofan engines available today. The B-1B and Tu-160 Blackjack have afterburning turbofans and they are old hat by now. Construction materials today are also much more lightweight than at the time Concorde was built.
The Concorde's engines were based on the Olympus engines of the BAC TSR-2. Basically by making the Concorde the UK and France retained the ability to manufacture Mach 2 bombers and they had the possibility to enter a new civilian aircraft market. The Russians no longer have civilian supersonic transport but they still have the Tu-160 Blackjack intercontinental supersonic bomber.
The US needs to have a lot of troops because of the large amount of military bases they have around the world. If you took away the people stationed in JP, KR, DE, the need for conventional forces would be much reduced. At one time the US demobilized their armed forces after a conflict like they did after WWI. However it was decided to maintain a large headcount even after WWII was over and a lot of the troops went back home unlike in previous wars.

If they keep buying useless companies for loads of money they will go bankrupt soon enough. It is always easier to lose money than to earn money.

You could play Lemmings on the Amiga with two mice back then.

AFAIK that suit is stitched by hand and custom fitted to the person. Assuming it actually works it is neither cheap nor practical to produce.

Apple has had something similar to this for so long they still only sold PowerPCs back then.

I would pick 4) and 6). I will try to do 6).
Not unattended nor without messing with the BIOS configuration. It is just one more barrier added by the incumbent to distort the playing field.

Ugh I guess this is the time to stick to playing old games and eventually only run Windows in a VM inside Linux.

Can you get that in business class?

There is plenty of desert. Not to mention that military jet fighters can easily push past Mach 2 and the US has air force bases nearly everywhere.
Most historical assassinations which involved shooting were actually carried out with rifles not handguns unlike you see on TV.
You still need explosives to propel the round and there are explosive detectors available.
