Like I said, I read it to be that just hacked devices would be affected - causes a device with the compromised set of Device Keys to be unable to calculate the correct Km - not all devices of the same model. But I could be wrong.
If a set of Device Keys is compromised in a way that threatens the integrity of the system, an updated MKB can be released that causes a device with the compromised set of Device Keys to be unable to calculate the correct Km. In this way, the compromised Device Keys are "revoked" by the new MKB.
If I read this right (which is not guaranteed this early in the morning), only hacked devices would be revoked. So it wouldn't be insane for manufacturers to use this scheme, and in fact would make them discourage hacks rather than making them easy as they do with many DVD players. Bad for fair use, but no problem for manufacturers.
It's not just for Boeing aircraft. From the connexion web site:
Installation The system can be installed on any aircraft with a seating capacity of 100 or more during a scheduled maintenance interval. Connexion by Boeing is currently working with aircraft manufacturers to develop the capability for in-line production installations.

Yep, I think we in the UK need something like the "three strikes" policy which I think happens in the US. Once an offender has been imprisoned more than once for an offence, and demonstrated that a short sentence is no deterrent for him/her, there needs to be some greater sanction automatically applied.
I would actually like to be able to allow certain sites to run ActiveX controls. The sad fact is quite a few sites require ActiveX to function properly, and that will probably be the case for a long time. I dislike having to use IE for those sites instead of Firefox, so selective enabling of ActiveX would be OK with me.
In the UK, the consumers statutory rights under the "Sale of Goods Act" and other laws are paramount, and can't be overridden by an EULA. If your country doesn't have such laws, it really should.
These laws state (approximately) that:
* Goods must have no defects, unless these defects are clearly described prior to sale
* Goods must be fit for the purpose for which they are sold
* Goods must be accurately described - i.e. no incorrect labelling on the packaging etc.
I think the point was it's not a "conventional" rocket, it's a kludgy hybrid lash-up which never worked all that well, and is fundamentally unsafe.
The Russians got it right with their shuttle - instead of a big main engine on the shuttle, have much more payload space in the orbiter, and launch the thing with a big-ass conventional rocket. Shame the Russians couldn't afford to run their shuttle.
This is a little different, since it actually solves a lot of existing problems (or alleviates them somewhat anyway), whereas Concorde presented a whole bunch of new problems. The A380 has lower cost per passenger, better fuel economy, more eco friendly than existing large passenger jets.
And certainly in the UK, and I believe much of Europe also, landing slots and airspace are what is in short supply at airports, packing more passengers on each airplane helps both.
You should read the whole transcript (or watch the program), rather than pulling a sentence out of the summary and scoffing at it.
Plenty of data was presented to support the primary conclusions in the program. In particular decades worth of solid measurements demonstrating the drop in insolation, and satellite data showing pretty convincingly that this drop is due to increased reflection of sunlight.
The program was pointing out that this "global dimming" is a demonstrably real effect and needs to be studied, and it gave plenty of evidence to support that.
I agree with you that in any objective sense, most "stars" aren't worth anything like what they get paid. Unfortunately consumer bahaviour makes these people worth those sums in economic reality. The fact is the vast majority of people will put a CD or DVD down right away if they don't recognize the names on it. Whereas if they recognize the names, even if fairly neutrally, they're likely to give it a shot. Hence the studios can guarantee large sales of a movie purely by putting a "big name" on the credits, which makes said "big name" worth millions, even if the movie or whatever is dross.
Mods!!! How can this be flamebait? It's a valid point that France and Germany failed to meet the deficit rules that they signed up for (and in fact argued strongly for) at the creation of the eurozone, with potentially serious effects on the economy of the whole eurozone. My implication was that perhaps it is easier for the EC to take on an american company than it is to get its own house in order. Just because I prefer to phrase that in a very concise manner...

Didn't say it's a crime, but it could invalidate your warranty.

Like I said, I'm just telling you it isn't a problem for the manufacturers, not saying it's a good thing.
And FWIW I don't live in the USA, unless Britain has become the 51st state since I last checked

Innocent users don't hack their devices. Not necessarily saying you're wrong otherwise.
From the spec:
If a set of Device Keys is compromised in a way that threatens the integrity of the system, an updated MKB can be released that causes a device with the compromised set of Device Keys to be unable to calculate the correct Km. In this way, the compromised Device Keys are "revoked" by the new MKB.

UK trains have no problem going fast, it's avoiding other trains that's a problem.
Celine Dion and Bryan Adams have a lot to answer for.
No idea, but the webservers of the world deserve a day of rest, before the slashdotting begins anew on Monday.
April fools day was over an hour ago, so this must be the real deal! What's that you say .. timezones? Damn!

Well, problems with his Latin anyway.

Yes, you have got dyslexia. Read it again, slower this time.

The anandtech review recommends a two card solution over this single card, so you win.
Maybe they have an anti-static carpet. Then again, maybe they shot that after they finished the review, and didn't really care anymore :-).
That's what the $5 trial membership is for :-).
