If I fix a computer, I don't get royalties for life. Drm is a false economy where infinite supply is a given, so consumption is metered. How could you possibly justify this

I'm not.... not sure I ever will be again. I have long supported nukes for power as a good alternative to our many other heavily polluting technologies. But I was over looking a major detail. The systems are not and cannot be fail safe.

At the same time, there is no other competing technology that has anything close to the potential downside that nuclear energy has. I always worried about reactor control, and never really gave much thought to the holding pools. But the pools have much more fuel, and are not heavily protected. If cooling is disrupted, even when everything is "shut down", you are looking at a horrible disaster. Its not worth it.

You run a server of any kind. In the old days of novell, we had severs with 6 year uptimes. Not possible today simply from patches, not crashes.

This service has the potential to get us closer to that ever distant 100% uptime. It could definately stack another 9 on 99.999

space craft do not need to operate any where near a full atmosphere. The earlier Apollo and Gemini programs ran at only 1/3 normal atmosphere.

As a parent with a mentally disabled child, I do not agree.

Our children live in a world still devoid of danger and threat. They expect us, their elders to protect them from harm. That falls to the caretakers as well as us parents. Since we parents have little choice as far as where our children are housed everyday, we have to make other choices and decisions.

I do not see this as an over reaction. I see it as well thought out, and keeping the idea of the child's privacy in mind. The solutions that are out there and available to us today are poor worst, expensive at best. Considering whats available off the shelf, this should be doable on your own.

Does anyone here have any valuable advice other than satire and sensationalism? I could use it myself. I'm just as lost as the poster, and in desperate need.

has anyone else actually checked to see if this article is true?

There is nothing wrong with the viewer. I find it comical that you would think that I would WANT to go "back" to windows media. It's basically the same thing in a different DRM wrapper.

Anyways. I'm not "up in arms". Just streamin my TV seasons the same way I have been for months.

No. They should not. Society moves on. Those left behind need to ask themselves why. Maybe they were never needed in the first place?

I see no reason AT ALL to ever protect dead markets OR the people who steadfastly insist to keep working in them.

Let them go down with their ship. It's their ship after all. It's their choice.

Please specify where i can hire a citrix admin for 5k a year salary... forget two.

orly? Price fixing? Extortion? Abuse of power? Collusion?

Does this open your eyes?
