Because computers are made of components with standardized interconnects. You don't replace parts of a board, you replace the board. If you know what you're doing, you can repair individual components... because those parts are standardized.
Sintered metal would be a lot more brittle than a cast or forged part, keep that in mind.
You could make a cast from ABS or the like, but that takes a lot of experience to pull off (and you burn out the ABS, which is hardly good for the environment if it's being done in any sort of quantity)
The simple stuff like screws, nuts, and bolts are already interchangeable. Go to the hardware store and look around - notice all the standard sizing and threading. Sure, you might have to cut one to a shorter length, but that's hardly a game-breaker.
It's the non-standard stuff that makes machine A do job A while machine B does job B, that gets costly to keep parts in stock. Of course, the manufacturer should have a supply of parts themselves to respond to increased demand, and having just a bit more of that than normal to handle repair orders wouldn't cost them that much more than they already spend...
I bet you that centralized power generation with proper scrubbing equipment is less of an impact than thousands of little generators without really much in the way of scrubbing...
The problem isn't that they are trying, or not trying. It's that they are trying the same shit again, even after finding out it doesn't work (community bitch-slapping that W8/W8.1 has, atrocious phone sales, etc) and saying "Oops! Next time we'll get it. Oh, and you'll have to pay all over again."
I have zero interest in Metro, or the whole tiles motif. They function well enough for touch interfaces, even if I don't like their aesthetic take on it... but meanwhile back in the real world, people don't get a lot of work on touch devices (excepting niche cases, which is exactly why it's a bad idea for general-purpose use)
You don't need to give a thread for each pathfinding - a small handful would be a vast improvement on... well, no threads other than the one the whole program runs in.
No, perhaps 2 threads to split the load - or as many as would be efficient for the purpose. Even a single thread for pathfinding in general would be an improvement upon a single thread for -everything- as it currently is.

Not these days. You can be infected without symptoms for almost a fucking month, and the damn things remains viable for two! Hell, even if you survive, it's still in you and can still be transmitted via fluid exchange for a week.
You go ahead and trust that the mortality rate will stop it. We'll see how well that works out...
Hell.. opening a PDF in Windows 8 is still a goddamn nightmare.
It is?
Maybe for the same reason you might end a question with a period instead of a question mark? (no reason at all)
Yea, they better not fucking do that... again...
Careful, the next one might have "smart" quotes!
Give me BIND or give me... well, nothing. BIND of GTFO.
Domains and SSL certificates. It seems nobody can handle these things expiring until OMG IT'S HAPPENING TOMORROW!!!
I'd imagine that a good chance of getting away in a getting away car is behaving yourself in traffic, not drawing attention to yourself.
Knives and other cutting implements can be abused by criminals, don't include them in my kitchen!

That is not the case everywhere else.
Cars don't seem to follow the same rules other things do.
End of story. (don't be an ass)
So, like VDI? Because that works SO WELL.
Because I already have a pseudonym I would prefer to continue using?
Sure. I don't care about Google knowing my name. I care about schmucks on Youtube knowing my name.
I won't be using it - not directly - but I'll allow my profile to have a Google+ "page" now that it doesn't want to have my name associated with it.

Meanwhile, those who -can- read are irritated and ignore you, guaranteeing you'll be interacting with idiots...
Hell, even coal...

I don't think this word means what you think it means.

Mine don't, but I still play them (though rarely).
zsnes and the like, you know ;)
Why do you think the Constitution of the United Stated of America's first amendment is... the first amendment?
Because this behavior from the UK is hardly new...
