Not quite. It was renamed Windows Embedded Compact after CE 5.0. Versions 6, 7, and 2013 are still supported products; the latter until 2023. Windows Embedded Automotive is also based off of Embedded Compact.

Well played, sir. Never any mod points when you need them...

Perhaps today is a good day to run IIS!

While the verbiage is not inaccurate, the headline insinuates (and is reflected by the comments) that the seawater is consumed by this process. I'll admit that IANAC, but from what I read (yeah, I know...) the first step in this process only extracts CO2 from the seawater. The byproducts of that step are acidified seawater, hydrogen gas, sodium hydroxide, and carbon dioxide. Putting the CO2 aside, the rest of it can be recombined into seawater at it's original pH. Maybe I overlooked something?

Now we just need equally diminutive compute resources to attach to them and some self-replicating abilities, then we can start our own Collective.

Exactly. I upgraded from 20x2 to 30x5 for a reasonable amount of money, ~$10 more per month. The upgrade from 30x5 to 50x5 was completely unacceptable, somewhere around $40+ more per month. I think I'll stick with 30x5, thank you very much.

I went through this back when I was in high school. Compaq insisted that a BIOS update for my laptop would resolve an issue I was having with the PCMCIA slot under Windows 2000. The BIOS update bricked the motherboard, and the BIOS recovery procedures did not work. They then washed their hands of the problem because the laptop was out of warranty. To say that I was livid would be a gross understatement...at sixteen years old I didn't have the means to run out and buy a replacement. Laptops still cost $1200 at a minimum back then, and even ebaying an old used laptop would have cost $700+. I considered taking the issue to local media so that I could get some sort of response from Compaq, but ultimately decided it wasn't worth the effort (plus, you know, I was sixteen, so I figured I wasn't going to be taken seriously).

When you scroll past the end of the content in an app, it keeps scrolling until you pick up your finger. The content then visually bounces back to it's original constraints.

I have those same tendencies, but I don't blame my local public high school for it. Lots of people are just assholes. It doesn't have to be specific to their educational background or chosen career field.

Potholes are an unavoidable fact of life on asphalt roads that exist in climates that experience Winter. Not a single asphalt road in my city has survived it's first Winter/Spring after being repaved during my lifetime. Some of our highways are completely concrete, and they usually look great for several years with only some minor maintenance needed. The constant freeze/thaw cycles and snow plow blades just aren't friendly to road surfaces.

Some of us are subject to regulatory compliance and/or PCI-DSS. Accessing anything on my internal network from outside without two-factor authentication that is logged is a sure way to fail many kinds of external audits.

Requiring the use of a VPN defines the single point of entry into your network. That's one point to monitor, secure, and administrate; not one for every server you want access to over the public Internet.

Your main block for remote access to a company's internal network is more likely to be the vendor's operating system support, not company IT policy. The two VPNs I manage both support Windows, Macs, and Linux with (mostly) the same code. Unfortuantely that means it's Java based, and it has been very problematic because of that. On people's personal Linux installs, a combination of not following instructions and the version of Java they're running virtually guarantees that it won't work for them the first few times, if ever. In the case of Apple, every time they touch something in Safari or Java it screws up the applet in some way, requiring a reinstall of the program or waiting on a client patch for the VPN. The Windows version certainly isn't perfect either, but the issues there are known and easily fixable.
