This is a case where edition specific reviews are very important to me.
Then you should be looking on some audiophile / high definition music sites where people actually understand this rather than a site that also sells plastic spoons.
No they aren't. Fingerprint readers don't work like that. You get a hash function that is related to ridge pattern (or whatever they happen to be scanning). You can't print out an FBI approved thumb to share with anyone else.
And yes, they don't need to use the thumb, you could well do the same thing with a mag stripe card. Except that the junior bozo would have to remember to bring the card with them. The thumb, not so much.
The kid is getting an entire lunch. They aren't scanning junior's thumbprint for each bag of Fritos that he grabs off the cart. He's going to get whatever the US Department of Agriculture has found sitting in a warehouse until just before the product's third expiration date (the one that they really mean).
This info is going to be pretty much useless to anybody except some flunky in the School Lunch administration.
Geez you guys. What the hell did they feed you all in school? Methamphetamine laced Doritos?
You don't know much about Macs - my 2008 MacPro is running 10.10.3 (Yosemite) and according to Apple, should run the next iteration (El Capitan). The only thing I had to do is replace the video card (who runs 7 year old video cards on anything?). My wife has a 2010 MacBook Pro which also will run 10.11.
Yes, there are Linux distros out there that will boot off an 8 inch floppy. That's impressive, but it's not Apple's MO.
And you can use command line programs to manipulate Airports. Even the old ones. Now that is pretty edge case and not well documented but a brief search shows you what you need to know.
If Spotify has only 20 million paying customers and there are 80 million potential Apple streaming customers (numbers from TFA) then there are a metric shitload of people who don't have any skin in the game. Even assuming that a whole bunch aren't interesting in playing it's likely to be pretty good chunk of Apple fanboy change.
Personally, I'm hoping Apple doesn't run over Spotify and Pandora. Tried Spotify for a while - nice enough but I just don't listen to enough music within Wifi range to justify it - but it certainly has some appeal to a large number of people.
The market *never* cared a about your audiophile bullshit!
All the market has ever wanted is the ability to listen to the songs they want to listen to with enough quality to drone out everything else.
Your both nuts. There has never been a better time to buy high quality, FLACC / AAC non DRM music tracks. No, it's not iTunes. It's a very niche market compared to Taylor, et. all. But it's there and there is even a decent selection. Not cheap but not terribly expensive either - about the same as an old time vinyl album.
So mellow out. Listen to Taylor or whatever and leave us alone.
It will likely be China. You won't get a molecule or drug out of these kinds of 'treatments' - you'll get a protocol that involves specialized handling and specific, tailor made molecules. So you likely won't see patent busting big chemical factories like you now see in India, you need a back room (or more likely an entire building) of highly developed infrastructure, trained people and some significant time to get these techniques to work. It won't be quite as easy as TFA seems to think it is*.
China fits the bill pretty well.

ive already told the local fbi and police, if i find any of their drones flying near my house i will knock them out of the sky, they arent pulling that big brother shit on me.
Yes, I'm sure that they just pulled up your file, checked off another box and forgot all about it until you call again with some oddball concern or if they see that you've written another 'Letter to the Editor'.
fancy-pants ones have this great braid on them that makes them slide across one another easily
I was going to ask what exactly are you doing such that 'sliding across one another easily' is important but then I decided that was probably not a good idea.
I can't imagine actually 'trusting' Apple or any other corporation or government. Give them a pat on the back for making security easier - sure. Trusting them, not so much.
Sadly, in a lot of places, you CAN'T get a 'business' connection. Small towns especially. If you really are a business, tough luck, you're in the same bucket as the rest of us plebes.
Or maybe we start to realize that we are paying below market for said almonds, walnuts, broccoli, etc. Maybe we realize that we need to price these things (and other stuff like petroleum products but that's another rant) at replacement value.
So our kids can have almonds, walnuts, broccoli, etc.
You can find the electronics components in many shops around the world. Will the US prohibit the sell of basic electronic componets to the entire world?
Really? Space rated parts? What planet are you from?
While Prune may be correct, I agree that society isn't willing to protect adolescents in that fashion. Basically, once you're 18, your outta here. That said, prohibition hasn't helped, won't ever help. Education won't get everybody - there are always lots of humans at whatever age that are pretty self destructive. But as far as balancing individual rights verses social norms and contracts, it is a much more productive approach.
Marijuana is Schedule I drug - as you point out 'the most dangerous' kind.
Marinol, the concentrated form of the major active ingredient in marijuana is a Schedule III drug (drugs that have "lesser" of a chance of damage and destruction to the poor sap sucking them in).
They're a completely hopeless case these days. The only thing they are interested in is furthering their own agenda. And budget.
Healthcare is big IS business because of the push for electronic medical records. But. There is going to be a huge cull in the next couple of years as the literally thousands of small companies that tried to get a toe hold just fail. Especially in the small hospital sector, most of the vendors are not going to make it. They will outright fail or get bought out.
Of course, there are zillions of man hours to be spent trying to reconcile the new acquisition into the legacy database ("But the sales guy PROMISED out data could be merged into the new system").

Goodluckwiththat.

Hell, I'd like Broadband and I'm willing to pay for it.

I was going to ask what exactly are you doing such that 'sliding across one another easily' is important but then I decided that was probably not a good idea.
Is that you don't trust nobody.

An interesting novel that touches on this subject.

Is TX Instruments somehow related to this story?
Yep.
Who do you think builds radiation resistant electronics? Radio Shack?
