But how do you find out about this stuff, unless you find someone who has already done it? Is there any Apple manual that documents this feature?
How do you do that with Linux? You either read the "source code" (which in this case is com.apple.systempreferences.plist) or Google for other people's guides.
And as someone pointed out, Apple writes man pages for a lot of their command line utilities. defaults is among these.
Do you think any/many of them actually want a new version of Windows? Short answer: no. In fact, every new release is a gamble for Microsoft. If they change things too much, users might as well switch to Mac OS X, or Linux, for all their retained knowledge will be worth.
Actually, you have to edit A configuration file, which sets a "hidden preference" in your "System Preferences" to allow Time Machine to see unsupported volume types. You then have to create a sparse disk image, set it to have "wide bands", mount your SMB share, copy the image over, and set the image as your backup volume. After that, you are free to set up automounting the SMB share.
That's fair enough, but check out the number of comments in this topic whining about how Netflix streaming (a better value than Hulu's offering) doesn't have the latest seasons of TV. If people merely wanted to be entertained, this wouldn't be a consideration. Instead, they want the latest shows, so they can watch them with their friends, or talk about them with their coworkers.
Of course, this doesn't change the value proposition for our British cousins. You have your own "new shows" to watch.
Their business model is "letting people see their stuff, in ways they profit from". If you throw a cog in those works, illegally, you shouldn't be surprised to get sued.
Disney made a lot of money turning a swamp into a whitewashed fantasy land. Apple is trying to do that for the tiny bit of the software market they control. If you don't like it, get an Android, just as Steve Jobs suggested.
I have one of these ElGato things too. I'm not a big fan of theirs. They failed to re-secure a contract with TitanTV (a TV data supplier), found an alternative supplier, and expect people to upgrade to the latest version to use it, at something like 49$. Their software/driver (for my model, at least) has a bug that often causes it to report that the tuner is attached to a USB 1.1 bus, and refuses to work. They denied the problem even existed, for over a year (until after most peoples' warranties were up) Now they admit to it. Their solution? Spend 49$ to upgrade to the latest version. (Gee, thanks for selling me a defective product)
If your AT&T's network is at 87% capacity at some point in the day, and you decide to use some more bandwidth so that it's at 87.5% capacity, it costs them nothing. Literally nothing, not a negligible amount, zero.
No, it's not "zero". It is a small, but not negligible amount.
If you cause a.5% increase in the load on the network, every machine your packets go through will use up roughly.5% more electricity. Also, that usage will cause waste heat, which will have to be removed, again through the use of electricity. Information is energy, and bandwidth is power.
Last I checked Coaxial cable isn't like a river, it sends signals equally in both directions.....Its not like it has some magical quality that makes electrons flow in one direction (towards your computer) much easier than the alternative (towards the net). Just because the ISP doesn't want to provide you with the bandwidth doesn't mean shit.
Perhaps you should learn how modems work. A cable line can only transmit over so much spectrum. And that spectrum has to be divided, so that some is used for uploads and some is used for downloads. What you are suggesting -- that it should be split in half -- is extremely inefficient. Your download speed would decrease substantially, and the upload spectrum would remain unused most of the time.
No, that's just the bullshit ISPs want you to believe. They have exactly as much upload bandwidth as download bandwidth.
Not between the CO and your modem. Symmetrical DSL is possible, but it is not commercially viable since most people download a LOT more than they upload, and so want their downloads to go faster at the expense of their uploads.
Haskell was my first thought too. GHCi would make a pretty good financial calculator. Python seems like a poor choice. What part of a financial derivative is "object-like" at all?
My HS CS teacher made us know the clock cycles of each instruction. OO killed CS.
C killed computer science. Before that, machines were built to interpret LISP, in hardware. Computer languages are constructive first order logics. Using C amounts to turning a computer into a machine that keeps track of buckets and the number of pebbles each bucket contains, and using the bucket/pebble system to write proofs.

What if they merely examine our society from a high level, and determine that we are insectoids, with a hive mind?

Google "Boolean algebra"
Or... you could opt out and pay the regular rate.

Yes, you can. You will have to edit some configuration files. And that is fine. Easy things should be easy. Hard things should be possible.

They use live donors for that though.
You mean viewing it legally? O M G!

Did you ask for any of that? No, I just made a suggestion that fit the constraints you stated.

Try Netflix. Good quality, 17,000 streaming titles, including thousands of seasons of television.
Until the BBC starts airing shows you can only watch on Hulu, Hulu has a monopoly on shows you can only watch on Hulu.
Yes to everything you said.
But it's not a bug. It's a feature.

You can give any phrase sense. There is no such thing as a private language.

I'm not suggesting anything other than the FACT that there is a non-zero, non-negligible, small cost to transferring information.
I was hoping this was about a new market in futures contracts opening up.

Same thing with cable modulators/demodulators.
