Right. It also doesn't obligate insurance companies to honor your policy - there's other laws for that.

I'm not sure defeatist is quite the right word - after all there are four boxes guaranteed by the US constitution, though I doubt Marc is seriously advocating the last
Hey, we could always go back to the original laws: Streets are for people, there were no traffic laws, and any collisions were immediately presumed to be the fault of the larger vehicle.
Where in "to protect and serve" do you read "the public"? Really it's a beautiful bit of psyops - it says nothing, but garners widespread support by by encouraging everyone to read in their own hopes.
That's actually what it's like at "Mojave Spaceport". Hangers of small aviation practicioners and their junk. Gary Hudson, Burt Rutan, etc. Old aircraft and parts strewn about. Left-over facilities from Rotary Rocket used by flight schools. A medium-sized facility for Orbital. Some big facilities for BAE, etc. An aircraft graveyard next door.
SS2 has not completed testing and it is probable that there will be a need for redesign of one or more components. So, this is a really bad time to have the hand-off. Publicity isn't a good reason.
I don't understand the point of buying a non-Google Android device.
I've looked at them, and I just never saw anything that made me think "that's clearly so much better and cheaper than the Google device that I should be reliant on the manufacturer and carrier to support it."
When my Nexus 4 went tits up I bought a Moto G 2014. It's got an SD slot, it's got KitKat (now) and it's unlockable/rootable. Indeed, unlocked and rooted. It was under $200 with a ringke slim backing added, from Amazon. That was pretty compelling. I miss the GB of RAM but nothing else.
And there's no "grown-up" alternative. Back in the day you didn't run Windows 95 - ME at the office. You used NT.
Ah, but what about that long period of running WfW at the office, except on servers and maybe CAD workstations and the like?
It's too slow to be useful
SSD
and will utterly kill network drives.
Seems like Microsoft can address this one of two ways. One, just don't do it to network drives, the OS knows which those are. Two, by now they ought to have been able to implement this in SMB or whatever it is called now, where the client just asks the server for the size of the directory so it doesn't have to do all the calls manually. The server can prioritize that stuff last.
Windows Server has long been the way to get the expert's version of NT. On occasion, though, it has had DirectX compatibility issues.
Are you aware that BMW and Mercedes reliability has gone into the toilet since the 1980s? I hear most Porsches that don't catch on fire spontaneously are pretty reliable, though.
A modern smart phone can barely compete with a desktop PC from 2000 (CPU wise anyway, smartphones do have much better GPU's).
Gee, is that all? I remember doing quite a lot on my desktop in 2000.
I wouldn't be surprised at all if a 1GHz Pentium 3 could beat a dual core 2GHz ARM CPU. Sure the P3 would be chewing 30W and the ARM only 6.
I'm betting it would depend on which benchmark you were running.
Where there's a will, there's a relative.
