Thanks for your insightful comment. Of course we disable those. These apps are not part of Suggested Apps (those only cover suggestions appearing in your Start Menu). They're instead part of the "Microsoft Consumer Experience", which can only be disabled in Windows 10 Enterprise (or Education), not in Pro.

Apparently MS believes Pro users to be quite different from Enterprise users. There used to be other ways to disable the installation of this crap, but MS has removed these over time. I welcome any solutions that actually work.

The even more ridiculous thing is that this happens even on the Pro version. The one that's supposed to be for doing work. And those "policies you can set that disable these apps from automatically installing"? Yeah, they don't work anymore. As a result every employee gets Candy Crush and the like installed on every machine. Absolutely insane.

The Carboniferous period is the source of 90% of our coal though. Coal formation during that time was 600 times the 'normal' rate. Apparently because the wood got buried and compressed instead of broken down into carbon and oxygen. The bacteria that could break it down evolved later.

My main complaint with Apple's new features of the past years has been that most have limited reach.

Things like Apple Pay are still not available in The Netherlands (where I live), years after release. Siri took years to arrive and is still far more limited than in the US. Other features are constrained to the Apple ecosystem, ignoring the fact that most users own and interact with various platforms. I've never felt a need to explore stickets in Messages, because barely anyone I know still uses Messages.

"unable to easily read their favorite webpages"
Oh, that's allright then.

I pity the sysadmins working overtime tonight.

"The battery should last for approximately 1,000 presses. When the device battery runs out of charge, there is no way to recharge or replace the battery."

Exactly. Also, at the current, increasing, consumption rate reclaiming those large blocks would only add a few months to the exhaustion deadline. Most likely it will take more time to free them than it takes to use them up.

IPv4 is simply too small, no matter how we hand out the addresses. It's time to switch to IPv6. Those few blocks won't make a difference.

I love that they found time to name the drone ships in true Iain M. Banks' Culture style: “Just Read the Instructions” & “Of Course I Still Love You”

I guess you mean stars can survive for a long time due to the balance between the centripetal force exerted by the black hole (pulling the star towards the center of its orbit) and the centrifugal force exerted by the circular motion of the start around the black hole (apparently pushing the star away from the black hole but actually just inertia trying to make the star follow a straight path).

I see what you did there...

The Virginia region simply dwarfs the other AWS regions, likely by an order of magnitude, so there's a correspondingly bigger chance of failures. No magic required.

That's not really true. In Eve lore the capsuleer becomes the mind of the ship but crew are still required on a ship to perform certain tasks. A ship captained by a capsuleer simply requires fewer crew than a non-capsuleer's ship (such as an NPC ship).

The mininum number of crew ranges from 0 (shuttle) to thousands (titan). The exact number depends on ship type but also on the faction that designed the ship. Some have more or better automation, hence requiring fewer crew.

In actual gameplay the crew are never encountered or play any role in the mechanics.

Almost right. If the browser thinks it has IPv6 connectivity it will try, and it will fallback to IPv4. The fallback to IPv4 will take something like 30-60 seconds though!

That's exactly the problem Yahoo faces. People with broken IPv6 connectivity will experience serious delays when visiting their site. This has withheld other large sites, such as Google, from running dual-stack before. A test done by the large German website Heise.de shows the reality is not that rough. During one day they enabled dual-stack access for their website. Among the approximately one million visitors, only five experienced problems due to broken IPv6. After this experiment they decided to simply keep IPv4 + IPv6 enabled. See http://www.heise.de/netze/meldung/IPv6-Tag-bei-heise-de-Erste-Ergebnisse-1081201.html

Of course this percentage will vary according to the demographic of a site so, as Heise has shown, the best way is to test it. On 8 June, 2011, Google, Facebook, Yahoo!, Akamai and Limelight Networks will be amongst some of the major organisations that will offer their content over IPv6 for a 24-hour "test drive".
