I think it's more about diplomacy and soft power. If the US was instrumental in ensuring your survival, you're more likely to have a favorable view of the US when you're an adult and can affect your nation's policies.

Same goes for allowing foreign students to attend US universities.

Plus there were a lot fewer cars on the road back then.

That's why they announced it at their annual developers conference 6+ months before it'll be available to buy -- so they can come up with killer apps for it.

The Wikipedia article ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... ) says that it's an intentional reference to James Bond and that:

Not necessarily. From TFA:

No it doesn't. It doesn't give an opinion on which to use, only an assessment of each tool based on a set of criteria they describe. Microsoft, Google and WhatsApp all satisfy most of their criteria. Apple isn't even listed.

Fuel cell vehicles still use batteries. The fuel cell can't ramp power up quickly enough to satisfy needs for quick acceleration so a battery is used as a buffer to give the fuel cell time to ramp up.

Sure, but at least you've solved half of the equation -- creating demand. It's going to be hard to convince anyone to work on producing green hydrogen or an efficient delivery/conversion system if there is no demand.

In the article there's a link to a blog post explaining the issue. Some microsoft subdomains have CNAMEs pointing to other domains that they have let expire. If you purchase that domain you can host content on it that can be accessed using the original CNAME.

An example is shown where racing.msn.com is a CNAME pointing to msnbrickyardsweeps.com which has expired and was available for purchase. The blogger bought that domain and put up an "Owned" page on it that shows the DNS entries that enabled it to use the name racing.msn.com.

Or have a cracked PCB trace that is intermittent and only fails when the device is very warm so you end up replacing a component that's consistent with the symptoms thinking you've fixed it only for the customer to return when the device gets warm enough to fail again. And then you're on the hook for the rest of the labor and parts needed to actually fix the issue because the customer already paid you to fix it.

Or replace a component that has a history of failing fairly often only to find out it's really a weird power supply issue and you just smoked a brand new part that you can't charge the customer for because you're going to have to replace it twice.

I worked in TV repair in the late '70s and early '80s. Sometimes (thankfully not very often) you end up giving the customer a refund on the repair and just telling them you can't fix it.

Seems likely as there's a procedure for RHEL 7 to RHEL 8 upgrades: https://www.tecmint.com/upgrad...

You obviously haven't seen very many land speed record cars then.

Look at the cars at https://landspeedrecord.org/ and you'll see several with a configuration similar to the one Jessi was driving.

I think you're confusing her with Scottie Chapman. Scottie was on in 2004 and 2005 with only a few appearances after that. I recall seeing something from Mythbusters that she's now a dental assistant although she still does welding and maker stuff as a hobby.

Come on, you didn't even need to RTA! It's right there in the summary:

If you don't want Dark Mode, just turn it off. You don't have to install a "Light Theme".

It reminds me a lot of the tail end of the PowerPC line -- IBM stopped producing new CPUs suitable for Macs so Apple ended up going to Intel. Apple already makes their own processors for iOS devices so I wouldn't be surprised if they end up ditching Intel in the near future.
