Equipment on a Land Rover isn't going to save children. That's a rich person's car. Rich people's kids don't play in the street. Poor people will continue to be run over by clapped-out F150s.
Which is how Microsoft can keep third parties out of the support business.
You might make a valid argument that an orphaned s/w package can legally be reverse engineered for the purpose of support without running afoul of the DMCA and other laws. But as long as Microsoft is still in that business (for a loose definition of 'in'), you'd be violating their IP.
Prior to the Olympic Pipeline explosion in Bellingham, Washington, gasoline was always cheaper there than in other parts of the state. After the imposition of a $112 million settlement on the pipeline owners, the local price of gas jumped above the state average. And it will remain there until the companies have recouped that penalty several times over.
One of those evil government regulations is the one that keeps me and my buddies from relieving you of all of your hard earned wealth at the point of a gun.
It has the potential to challenge the underpinnings of religions. And it threatens the authority of leaders in general, depriving them of a supply of blind and willing followers.
Lesson in corporate management learned. You can do what you want as a lowly grunt so long as you do the job part well. But part of moving up in management involves working well with other people. And the higher you go, the more likely it is that you'll have to get along with those that don't share your life views. If you don't have those skills, stay in your cubicle, pounding out code.
It would be nice to know if there is some sort of window manager running there. If so, it might be possible to add hosts to this network running their own X clients.
I didn't see where zebra coloring schemes was demonstrated to repel or confuse pests like tsetse flies. Have these scientists demonstrated something about flies vision that the stripes interfere with? Do flies even depend upon vision to locate prey?
I had heard the theory that zebra striping was a kind of dazzle camouflage which confused larger predators when trying to pick out one animal to pursue. I just didn't think flies could see that well.

Its been years since I've even seen a 24", 50 platter hard drive. They seem to get smaller every year.

I threw an exception trying to parse that post.
The Ukraine wasn't enough. And Europe doesn't have much oil. But this justifies military involvement.
... Bacon is made out of matter. Had the universe evolved without bacon, we wouldn't be here to discuss the issue.

Companies don't pay fines. The plebes do.
You forgot your <sarcasm> tags.

Facebook owns virtually all the aspects of the social experience
Except for those of us who take the 'social experience' to mean actually relating to other people in meat-space.

'Other people' includes customers, owners, major benefactors and other stakeholders as you climb the corporate ladder.

So much for the hipster market.

At least he'll be taking the train there.

Yep. And with all the butthurt over moving high school starting times back, we'll have some good data.

So England needs to serve us with a cease and desist order for copying their patent idea.
Please, England.
You can still adjust mirrors manually
Not if they are knocked off and hanging by wires.
Causation?

A camera would be more useful than a mirror for an accident data recorder.
FTFY.
side view mirrors have an extremely low failure rate,
Not so, judging by the number of side view mirrors I see hanging from car doors.
and require no power.
Some do. For pan/tilt motors and defrost heaters. That's why the mirrors have some wires to hang by when they get whacked*.
*Why are there still a few manufacturers who haven't figured out the swing-away side mirror mechanisms?
