I have more than one mac, so I went ahead and allowed the upgrade on one of them yesterday (11/13). 12 GB is a lot to download but it actually went fast for me and I didn't experience any double-upgrades as the OP has. The upgrade did surface one problem with an old Python script I have that uses Matplotlib; as soon as the plot tried to draw, segfault was raised from some OSX screen drawing APIs. The script was using Python2 which is obsolete anyway, so I updated it to use Python3 and the issue cleared.

This is unauthorized use of computing resources and vandalism... Not terrorism

You, sir, are an idiot.

Citation please?

Before I get modded to oblivion... From TFA: In addition to enabling as above the development of free BIOS firmware, we are also working with Intel to allow us to scrub, release, and maintain the source for the FSP, but havenÃ(TM)t finalized that yet. We are devoted to freeing this binary. You can read here about the current state of our efforts to free the BIOS. (http://puri.sm/posts/bios-freedom-status/) The point I was trying to make is that UNTIL every layer of the operational stack really is Free & Open Source, the product as a whole isn't REALLY libre.

... And may I see it's source code & compiler?

"the GK110 GPU inside the GTX 780 Ti is fully unlocked" ... "yet the card has been artificially limited in GPGPU performance"... ... So which is it? To me "fully unlocked" can't be true of a card that is "artificially limited"

I want 100 MBps, but the actual question was how much I'd need... That would be 0. "Needs" vs wants. The entire internet could implode, and I'd still be alive.

That plane REALLY looks like a phallus.

The server at info.cern.ch is taking too long to respond. ----- The internet is millions of times larger now than it was back then & I'm thinking that hosting it on the original hardware was a mistake... If they really still want to use the old hardware, couldn't they at least put a fast proxy server in front of that old 68030?

Um, well, because that's their job? Remember that the ISP tech is, well, a tech, and they're just following a script given to them by their manager at the ISP. I agree that it shouldn't be necessary, but I've had ISPs in the past tell me that they NEED a windows computer in the household from which can install their "internet software". Uh, sure... was my response, even though I don't have a single windows machine. As previously suggested, I gave him a virtualbox running Windows XP and he went ahead and installed Norton and some other garbage on it. After he left I nuked the VM & I am still up and running, years later.
