Even if consumers moved away from the PC platform towards jailed environments, doesn't mean that the industry and businesses are doing the same. Far from it. And for trying to lock European industry and the services sectors' main working platform into a Microsoft-only UEFI world, you can bet that EU regulators won't take that lightly. I expect (and hope for) a HUGE fine against Microsoft for them trying to grab and hijack the PC platform in Europe.
If the cop dealing with you looks mean or violent or angry you may have no choice but to answer if you want to avoid a long hospital stay or getting zipped up in a body bag or just old fashioned brain damage.
You've just given the definition of a police state.
Well, if you end social security, you'd better redirect a substantial part of those funds to police forces and a lot of additional jails, because criminal activity related to poverty and despair will then skyrocket. Radically cutting spending everywhere is a good idea in theory, but in practice, I'm afraid it won't work so smoothly.
Let's see: the US government pushed hard for the rest of the world to adopt a three strike regime, while US Citizens enjoy six strikes. Are some people more equal than others, as in: are citizens of the "Holy IP Empire" more privileged than the "barbarians" at its periphery? (Roman Empire analogy)
What's preventing advertisers from signing individual deals with webmasters, so that the ads are hosted on the target website? From a security point of view, end-users allowing virus-riddled third-party ad-servers is a mistake anyway.
Wouldn't a big classic target picture (optionally with the words "shoot me!") convey the message more effectively? Military personnel are trained to shoot on those after all...
Pretty soon now you will be just another religious state, just like the ones you are fighting right now, but with a different religion.
Not only that: looking at Syria, America is currently pushing with all its might for yet another religious state, and in Egypt is also best friends with the forces of darkness (i.e. Mursi and his Brotherhood). This crazy foreign policy becomes much more comprehensible if we consider how America is already morphing into a religious state itself.
It's so sad for a country that once was a beacon of hope and modernism for the rest of the world.
Barring some exceptions (Streisand et al.), it's usually the nobodies who care about this. They're the most vocal "right to forget" advocates. Seeking to remove everything about them on the Internet helps them feel more important than they really are. This is not meant to offend them, as there are legitimate needs to remove that one embarrassing photo or video... but we're talking about people who want to vanish entirely off the Net here.
Yep. And add to this that the US government is actually pushing full ahead with supporting Islamists in Arab Spring countries (Libya, Syria, etc...), it seems like this kind of stupidity is not only growing at an alarming rate at home, it is also spilling all over the world. That's really scary.
Well, at least Germany doesn't have to fight wars in Mali like France in order to secure its uranium supply, right? And of course, uranium isn't a renewable resource. Being dependent on uranium supplier nations is just as bad as being dependent on natural gas and oil supplier nations. A big economy like the German one can't afford this kind of dependence on the long run. That's why the push towards renewable energy sources is so strong there.
If you're patient, consider using FreeBSD, and wait for them to support Xen/Dom0 for full virtualization capabilities. They're not there yet, but there's work being done right now.
Maybe, just maybe, some frames could trigger an internal monitoring or debugging mode on the controller? Sometimes, manufacturers would want to remotely diagnose hardware, and that could be a way to do it. Of course, it could also be something else, much more sinister like, say, some obscure government backdoor. Not saying that this applies to this particular case, but since most silicon designs aren't open source, we can't be sure there's no such thing in there, lurking, waiting to be activated.
The real problem is that a missile interceptor is more expensive than the missile (or decoy) it is supposed to intercept. Take for instance Israel's Iron Dome vs. Hamas' rockets. A single Iron Dome interceptor costs $10k+, if not one order of magnitude more, while a single Hamas rocket is less than, say, $100. The same holds true for strategic defense missile systems: it's always a lot more expensive to intercept a ballistic missile than to send one. That's the real issue here. As long as missile defense technology doesn't become a lot less expensive (think e.g. some kind of futuristic force field shield of some kind that doesn't consume a lot of energy when idle), it will always be overwhelmed.
Just see it from the positive side: if the French government goes against you for whatever reason, they won't be able to pull your.net domain. Every coin has two faces.
If you can tunnel your data through the Great Firewall, why not? What's wrong with a Chinese or Ukrainian cloud provider, compared with an US or EU cloud provider? They may even be less expensive and, if you're lucky, managed just as professionally.
Isn't it cute how some companies assume that the laws of their countries apply worldwide even though they don't? Ever thought that some portions of those EULAs are illegal and void in EU jurisdictions?

Pardon my ignorance, but does it really matter if it is SSD or HDD, when used via USB (3.0)? Isn't the USB bus itself the bottleneck in this case?

The concept isn't new.
They may not have fired a Hellfile missile at his house, but the end result was just as lethal nonetheless.

Electric engines radiate IR (heat) as well for a while after being turned off...
The al Qaeda Borg are adapting quickly. Maybe we should remodulate the drone's control signals so as to use rotating frequencies?

I thought downgrades are only free with Win8 pro, not with Win8 OEM (or whatever they call that) that comes preinstalled on most laptops.
