Then this requires some way to prove that the owner of a website is also the owner of a valid merchant account. This is a service that the credit card companies can in theory offer.
Then there's the complete disregard for traffic lights (oh, the light's red? Well I'm a pedestrian now, so screw you and give way as I suddenly pull out of my lane and ride across the crosswalk without warning!)
If a signal has remained red for five minutes despite my bike's front and rear wheels being directly over the crack in the street that indicates an induction loop sensor, what else am I supposed to do?
In practice, it'll parallel the introduction of seat belts, anti-lock brakes, and air bags: either old cars will be grandfathered or aftermarket retrofits will be made available.
Expressed more rigorously: "that's great news for the people who run the risk of being among the 30,000+ people who die in traffic accidents every year in the U.S."
Holding a savings account is one reason why the bank has your tax info. The other reason is "know your customer" regulations against money laundering, such as Great Britain's Money Laundering Regulations 2007.
Anyway, console plus mid range PC is at the cost of high end PC.
The advantage of this is that you can have the console in the room with the large monitor and the mid-range PC in the room with the desk, plus all the other usability advantages of consoles.
I thought many things also required an additional xbox subscription to get updates or do multiplayer.
Only multiplayer requires the Xbox Live Gold subscription on Xbox One. Updates are included in the Xbox Live Silver, available without charge to all owners of unbanned Xbox One consoles. Noninteractive video streaming apps such as Netflix required a Gold subscription on Xbox 360, but this was phased out on Xbox One.
ECC inside individual packets? Pointless. Every network standard worth its salt has at least a CRC32 covering the entire frame.
CRC32 is just error detection. It doesn't actually correct errors. Or are you claiming the packets would just get dropped along the way by intermediate routers that check the CRC?
Fewer retransmits lets you push the buffer length lower for less audio latency. This can become important for real-time applications such as gaming and music production.
As long as bits are not irrecoverably lost, how is it going to sound any different?
Jitter, the relative timing of when bits arrive. Audiophile tests led to its having been identified as a measurable problem in S/PDIF installations, which led to use of a circular buffer to mitigate jitter. True, S/PDIF is connection-oriented, and networks using Ethernet are packet-switched with such a buffer being implemented in the network stack and in the application. TCP in particular retransmits packets corrupted by noise. But if the retransmitted packet doesn't arrive in time, emptying of the buffer causes an audible interruption. And if the buffer is enlarged to prevent this, this can affect perceived responsiveness in interactive applciations such as music production and video games.
Aggregating ballots for n candidates across precincts within a region requires O(n) space in plurality, approval, Borda, or other subsets of range voting. It requires O(n^2) space in Condorcet because Condorcet decomposes to a set of pairwise races. But in STV, it requires O(n!) space, as you have to track all possible orderings when transferring votes.
The complaint is that there's no third option for "Quickly install while keeping all existing settings the same as they were". There are only "Switch to all Microsoft services" (mislabeled "Express") and "Time-consuming interview" (correctly labeled "Custom").
Yeah, but no-one can be forced to use Windows any more. There are far too many alternatives.
Which alternatives do not require buying hardware? OS X requires a Mac, iOS requires an iPhone or iPad, and Android with Google Play requires an Android device manufactured by an OHA member. GNU/Linux requires a PC with supported hardware and whose BIOS or UEFI isn't locked into a Microsoft-only Secure Boot. All x86 and x86-64 PCs that ship with Windows 8 let the PC's owner turn Secure Boot off per Microsoft's Windows logo requirements. But as of Windows 10, Microsoft is leaving Secure Boot lock-in up to the PC manufacturer.
If a system implementing a useful subset of the Single UNIX Specification hasn't been certified, I'm more likely to call it "*n?x". This shell glob pattern matches Unix, Xenix, Minix, and Linux, among other things. (Xenix became SCO UNIX which became Xinuos OpenServer.)
why would I buy a SteamBox instead of a PS4? To play a bunch of low-budget indie games? Those are fun, but I can already play those on my PC.
But can you fit two to four players holding gamepads around your PC's existing monitor? You can if your PC is hooked up to your TV. But if not, you'll need a streaming solution such as this or the Steam Link.
I don't really understand why you'd by a Steam Machine for streaming from another PC instead of the cheaper Steam Link
For people who live alone, I agree. But if you buy a Steam Machine, you can play Linux-compatible games while the primary PC is in use for non-Steam applications by another member of the household, and you can stream Windows-only games while the PC is available. A Steam Link allows only the latter use case.
How sad is your world view when you think see two people do something entirely natural and REQUIRED FOR THE SURVIVAL OF OUR SPECIES and it offends you.
Sex prior to the age when a mother can support herself and her child is not required. Are children exposed to porn more sexually active?

And last, because ethernet is a packet network, you will need to buffer your audio so you can collect enough bytes to send a packet.
True, but you usually don't want a 48 ksample buffer in a LAN environment because that'd introduce a second of latency.
ECC inside individual packets? Pointless. Every network standard worth its salt has at least a CRC32 covering the entire frame.
CRC32 is just error detection. It doesn't actually correct errors. Or are you claiming the packets would just get dropped along the way by intermediate routers that check the CRC?

An upgrade from 96K MP3 to 112K Opus would probably provide substantial fidelity improvement to your CELTic music, as it's 2 codec generations later.
Wouldn't a layer of forward error correction using a BCH code, as used in Compact Disc Digital Audio and QR code, help with real-time UDP streaming?

Perhaps the complaint is that "express" means "all Microsoft", not "keep existing settings".
What's changed is that browsers can't set themselves to be the default any more - the user has to do it explicitly in the system settings.
So why can't apps have a button to open the appropriate system settings form?

plug your video card into your TV. You've been able to do that for over 10 years with a $10 extra long HDMI or Display port cable.
In a previous comment, adolf complained that that solution is prone to ground loops.
