"Microsoft doesn't let you use product codes more than once because they'd lose money if you re-use their product."
That's why many of my cheaper clients use Linux for basic computing needs. And it is also the reason I am fluent in dealing with small end business needs in regards to Windows and Linux.
That's where US SMB2 came from. It was rebranded with "mario", and tougher. You had to beat the game with all characters, not just 1. And the waterfalls were headache-inducing.
My sister, when she was 6 (read 6 YEARS OLD), had Duke Nukem 3d with the Plutonium Pack!
My dad installed it, having played it, thought it was appropriate for her. She liked the LARD pigs piling on the bottom of the screen. I think, after she told me to shut up at the dinner table, I responded "Make Me". Her comment was "Blow it out yer ass".
It was uninstalled after that.
And then she reinstalled it. She still plays it through WINE.
I used to think the same thing, that turning off features is an evil thing.
But now, I realise that is what allows us to get cheaply hacked hardware that's about 5-10% better than what we paid for. The richest subsidises the rest of us. If all they do is change firmware, instead of tracecutting or burning fuses, then we can have what they do.
So go ahead, it gives us cheaper, better hardware. Or buy open source hardware like in article.
I maintain servers in FreeBSD and Linux. My desktop has been Ubuntu for the last 3 years.
The last time I dealt with Windows was for a client who bought a new desktop. And it had Windows 7 on it, so he wanted it as similar to WinXP. And it served his purpose.
Since this thread is nearly guaranteed to not being seen by the masses, let me propose a question to you.
You quote "Often individuals/communities that regurgitate dogma and never question reality are TFNuts and malevolent (burning witches..."
Lets say, that witches were capable of cursing, remote death, and other rather nasty things. Would their deaths be justified, knowing that they could do those things? Would their deaths be justified if they claimed to have done those things to certain, named, individuals?
Seems simple to me: Put some stirling engines with big heatsinks in and out of the reactor vessel to provide continual energy for cooling. With the reactors running at 7% load, you can still siphon lots of power.
One of my best trolls was this post in regards to Opera. My goal was to pit FOSS operatives on Firefox against Corporate closed source software Opera. And I was able to successfully engage the conversation so that I had flaming on both sides equally fighting vehemently over their own "Right" viewpoint.
And I still ended out with a positive moderation score after people realised that I literally took over the whole conversation upwards of 200 posts to refute me and later other posters. The whole article was only around 380 posts total.
However, you are guilty of committing an ad hominem attack. His sending mail bombs and possibly being a crazy person does not make his other writings true or false.
You should take what he claims on its own merits and judge if they are correct or not by the evidence given. And from his commentary regarding the USA turning into a bunch of pill munchers to placate their boring lives, I would say he is correct.

Unfortunately, there is no science done in public education k-12. It's all rote and basics combined with a babysitting service.
And anyways, It's the Theory of Evolution. It is not a fact, but prior evidence shows highly that is probably true. Or other theories for that matter, should either be discussed minimally or not at all. Duking out theories should be for the higher educations where that comes into play. Else we, get the usual argumentative speech in HS speech class of "Why abortions teh Evul" or other flamebait topics that have no real evidence to support or refute claims made.
Instead, classes on teaching of business matters would be so much more effective. Most HS graduates dont even know how to handle finances or balancing books, or taxes. Teach useful things that can save and restore financial security.
Which the Zero Tolerance Alcohol Carding always surprised me...
I can go into a grocery and buy fleishmann yeast, distilled water, cane sugar, grape juice, a big jug to put it all in in, and a balloon for a fermentation lock. And out comes wine. Really bad wine, but it is alcoholic.
Or I can, legally, buy all proper beer supplies, starting from speciality yeasts, upper tier hops, malt (either in grain or syrup form), and all the equipment required for amateur beer making. And I can do this at any age... BUT HOW DARE I CONSUME IT IF IM UNDER 21!
Well connected nobles can provide a shield against the local government that the immortal resides at. We can _call_ it a corporation, but names matter not.
Instead, a well connected, informed, and rich immortal can create a form of shadow government in which he is the ruler. Instead of by commanding force, (s)he uses influence to bind them. Instead of restriction, being under the immortal OPENS doors that those nobles would not usually have.
If you knew that a tithe of 10% of your wealth to them opens up relations to 3 Chinese houses and a Japanese house, along with numerous other European houses, being alligned is a no brainer. Once the wealth is engrained, the immortal could even influence to step away from war, knowing that would be bad for business as trade routes would have crumbled.
Who would have known that being a SCAdian would actually be used in the mundane world:D
But these laws need to be figured out, as our fellow humans in Tibet have already done so, to an interesting extent.
In the Tibetan region, reincarnation isn't some religious lofty newage crap: it's true and obvious to their culture. It's well known that you are born, live, and die, and when you die, you'll find a new place to be reborn in. Almost always, unless otherwise needed, you will be reborn somewhere on your family tree, just as the ancient Celts also believed.
Understanding that: Tibetans and Ancient Celts alike form contracts that are binding between lives. Now admittedly, these contracts aren't in the usual that some property is transferred, but instead promising protection or other services one can do themselves.
Have them exempt from standard safety and architectural laws per state, and devise a foolproof reactor plan that is to be copied everywhere in the US. These reactors will then be run by the US Military (I suggest Navy due to excess of nuke carriers). People in the Navy have the requisite knowledge to maintain and repair these type of reactors. We know that for-profit businesses cut and crimp where they should not, as BP did with skipping required safety protocols.
And gee, if the Military is running the reactors, they also have security covered as well. They can legally have flakkers, SAMs, and heavily armed personnel. "What, you have an airplane? I have firey death for you."
As per the "OMG THEY WILL MAKES MORE NUKES!!!" You have not just 1 reactor, but a series of them. Output of #1 goes in as input to #2. And you keep going for about 5 jumps until you get "glowing lead". Milk that fissionable product for all of its energy.
I served on a jury as foreman in a small town in Indiana (Nashville).
Background: 2 city cops were railroading a guy all of us perceived as innocent (the cop lied 3 times during testimony and deposition).
During selection, they started with 40 people. 20 were immediately dismissed due to questionnaire. Out of the 20, the school superintendant dismissed, family with law enforcement ties were dismissed, as were others that had conflict in the case. And I had broke my shoulder 3 weeks prior, so im in a sling. Everything was 'decent' in terms of no discrimination on schooling or intelligence. And it was painless.
However, during sequestering, I heard some of the most bile I've heard from others. I DO NOT like authority only because almost all abuse it. This case was no exception, but my fellow jurors went to the point of "I know who that cop is, and he's a dirty one." then she proceeds to tell stories about his covered dirt. I stayed... ahem... impartial, but the cop lied about his own testimony in open court.
I asked the judge in her quarters why wont he be charged with perjury. No answer...
That case alone let me know that the jury system does work. We would have acquitted within 10 minutes f cop 1's testimony.

Hmm. Even I have one of those certs. Doesnt get me as many jobs, though.
Who cares?

So it does nothing infinitely fast?
Sounds like a fair tradeoff.

Fair enough. I understand charging for usage.
So why doesnt it work in reverse?
Hmm.

I say have the US military run the reactors.
