It's a subtle dig at the FCC/Ajit Pai. 6.33 = "FCC", based on where the characters appear in the English alphabet.
I'm using Google Project Fi for my carrier, and they're identifying about 80-90% of robocalls correctly as SPAM. The phone still rings, but the phone's screen turns red and says "Suspected SPAM caller". They also give you an easy way to report calls as SPAM from within the phone app.
It sounds like he was being pedantic. 1 USD =~ 1 CAD these days. It's been trading in such a narrow band (0.96 - 1.04) for over a year now. Just fill out the paperwork, and get on with life. Don't upset the pencil pushers. They're goons with badges and guns.
The Intel CPU is made in the USA. The Hard Drives in Japan, Korea, or Taiwan. The RAM in Japan or Korea. The "Gorilla Glass" for tablets and phones is made by Corning in the USA. Many times with electronics, China's role is to assemble parts that were sourced globally.

"A man with one clock knows what time it is, goes the old saw, a man with two is never sure."
That's why the sailor's adage is to take one clock or three to sea. With one, well, that's all you've got to go on. With two, you never know which one is right. With three, usually at least two agree.
So, go use LaTeX then.
that they'd test, it'd be Eclipse.
Good enough means good enough. It's not 50%. It's not 80%. It's whatever is the powers that be decide is the appropriate trade-off between competing interests (i.e. time to market, cost of deployment, $ paid to developers, estimates of the cost of future bug fixes,
"Good enough" for the software that runs a nuclear reactor or the space shuttle is probably near 100%. Pace-makers, surgeries, and pharmaceuticals failing? It's been known to happen. Sure, maybe only in 1/10000 cases, and only if you don't have a pre-existing condition. So, good enough is maybe five nines there. "Good enough" for that $1 umbrella you bought at Wal-Mart probably means something entirely different.
I don't know how I used to get by before I knew find had an '-exec' option. I voted for "grep", but I hardly ever use it without find, or find without grep.
`find XXX -exec grep -Hni whatever {} \;`
Windows is a plenty good enough platform to deliver e-Books on. And Windows runs enough trendy OSS programming languages on (eg. python), that the kiddos could've gotten a kick out of it plus a crash course in programming. Also, there's a lot of educational software out there that only runs on Windows that these governments could potentially leverage on day 1.
Microsoft would've had plenty of incentive to keep it up to date, plus keep the price low. Besides, OPLC had potential customers who insisted that the device run Windows. What's Negroponte going to say - "no, your *country's* children can't have inexpensive educational tools because I insist that they run Linux!"? If the goal is to get educational materials into children's hands, sometimes compromises must be made.
I say this as someone who has a substantial amount of code on the XO - the XO failed largely on its own merits. The project was (in-large) done in a fishbowl and came in at 2x its promised price. Plus, we've seen time and again that top-down approaches toward helping poverty-stricken areas (unfortunately) seldom work.
What this country needs is a good five dollar plasma weapon.
