It sounds like the original poster comes from that school of thought that expects every hosting service or ISP to defend property rights on behalf of the owners. That's not GitHub or Megaupload's job. The world would be different if the RIAA had sued Postel and Reynolds for writing RFC 959 (FTP) for not incorporating DRM.
Well, laptops are usually not built up of components like 'traditional' PCs are. And yet the mandatory lockdown doesn't seem to apply to them. It seems to be a function of ARM/not ARM (Windows RT/not RT) rather than the hardware architecture of the device.
I'd expect the Windows RT architecture for ARM devices to allow for upgrades to drivers and other components for patching purposes as well as to the entire OS for new releases. So, in this sense, the s/w architecture of an ARM device needs to be closer to that of a classic PC rather than a monolithic SoC app.
If Microsoft isn't supporting these capabilities in RT, I suspect that your ARM device will be bricked, or you'll be left behind with old s/w whenever a new Windows version comes out. Never mind trying to load Linux on it.
I know with Windows RT, it's all locked down with no way to change it but that's not a "real" PC in any term.
Right. Its not a "real" PC. Its an ARM based mobile device.
Because Microsoft smells the death of "real" PCs and the market's migration to mobile and to ARM, away from Intel. So, sure, you can still have your beige tower and run whatever OS you want on it.
They began to be used when businesses could order roles of (new) Sacagawea dollars. Problems arose as they passed back through the banking system and were re-rolled and issued mixed with Susan B. Anthony dollars.* When these hit the cash registers, the same old problems arose: Is that a dollar or a quarter? Businesses responded by returning to dollar bills.
Prior to reintroducing new dollar coins, take all the SBA dollars and destroy them. Then the changeover might work.
*I suspect that there are many millions of dollars of SBA dollars which no-one wants, sitting in bank vaults.
Look for the ARRL Antenna Book. Its a good reference for DIY hobby type projects.
Based on the commercial offerings, I'd look at building a log periodic Yagi. That should give you decent gain plus directionality over a wide frequency range. If the gain from one beam isn't enough, you could build several in an array. Its all in the above book.
Most of the skill you will need will be in metal/plastic working. At the frequencies in question, a few millimeters will affect the antenna pattern and gain, so attention to detail is important.
Or perhaps Dell loads their Windows systems with more third party crap-ware. And receives more kick-backs from these third parties, subsidizing their laptop sales price.
The US "legal troubles" were a stalling tactic* back when Boeing was trying to build their own SST. The original grass roots "ban the bang" campaign was British.
*Do you really think Congress wouldn't have lifted the landing ban had the US version made it off the drafting board?
Already done. In Amsterdam and a few other cities, along major arterials they have speed signs that give you the minimum speed needed to make the next green light. They step up in 10 kph increments until they reach the speed limit. Then they display a bar, meaning "you aren't going to make it".
Its old tech, predating LEDs (just done with a row of incandescent illuminated numerals.

Yep. Good points.

Absent the need to interact face to face, people who make inciteful comments are no longer immediately removed from the gene pool.

What would you say?
danish pzza. wtf?
Stripper inflation.
Can't stuff a dollar coin in a g-string. So its either bring back the twos or we'll have to use fivers.
There. Fixed it for you.

My DOS ate my homework.
Assembly instructions for the Fjell uranium enrichment centrifuge, no doubt.

Sounds more like "Blue Balls" to me.
Where does the pipeline go? Odds are they'll pump it all down to Texas, where it will promptly disappear.
I can go down to the store and get new matter.
Sign at a local store: Matter cannot be created or destroyed, nor can it be returned without a receipt.

World's biggest.
Just don't loan them to my kid. He always screws with the focus.

Personally, I'm willing to allow option/future trading so long as the dealers are properly attired.
