likely manufacturers as well. Amazon rewards cutthroat behavior by sellers. The odds are quite high that the people reporting sellers for selling stolen goods are competing Amazon sellers, likely even manufacturers, attempting to get third party sellers excluded from the market. Looks like just faking reviews and making false complaints got moved to the B tier

Does her house have stairs?

Then have bowling go back to its slow irrelevant death?
  The opinions of a Luddite that can't keep up with disruption and the techniques of a new generation of competitors is as worthless in sports as in tech.
  Disruption is not only good for it, it may be the only thing that at least temporarily saves it.

Since the projects goal was to steer money to specific districts and contractors, a lot of cost overruns and delays would seem to be an expected feature of the system, not a bug. The intent of this specific project was never really to put anything on the moon, and in fact it actually working and doing so would be ultimately self-defeating.

There are still very large, expensive pieces of capital equipment with an EOL far longer than an OS, and many run XP. The issue now is not getting XP installed, its finding hardware that XP will install on in the first place. The last chipsets XP will recognize are now more than a decade obsolete, and maintaining that hardware has become more problematic than maintaining an OS on an air gapped system.
Yes, I recognize running an XP VM is an obvious option, but exactly no one really wants to be the first to sign off on testing that idea on running building-sized equipment where profound life safety issues are present. Inevitable, but absolutely everyone has been kicking that can down the road as long as possible.

How long before someone registers and then drives traffic through a common misspelling so that Google autocorrects correctly spelled entries into the new domain?

Since the core problem is with the company, not the hardware itself, the solution is simply to buy a printer from a reputable company.

Yup. Dude tried to push, he got pushed back harder, he lost. Happens all the time in poker with men, and you never hear about it. The big difference here for him is that he lost to a woman. That his fragile ego could not handle, and his violent asshole side came out for all to see.

I just read the paper OP linked to. I also recently read a paper by PETA explaining how people could not ethically play games with animal characters. I could swear I was reading the same document with different buzzwords. Protip; If you want to promote a worthy cause like Free/Libre, do yourself a favor and don't link to papers whose author was high from sniffing their own farts.

If everything is free and digital, the physical artifacts become far more relevant on an emotional level. Yes, everyone can digitally generate a 2600 Hz tone easily with any free sound app, but that has zero value to me, on any level. My little blue plastic bosuns whistle that came out of a box of Captain Crunch cereal in the fall of 1969, however, that hangs in a specially constructed glass case above my desk. The attraction is purely emotional and has zero to do with its utilitarian value.

They were not originally planning on using it to go after "some baddie". The original plan was to replace additional teacher funding, and diverting that money instead to NYPD employees running robot dogs in low income inner city minority schools. People rightly had some objections to that. Now they are back spinning it as something to protect us from terrorists or something, which means it will get funded and a week later it will be in schools instead. Just like LRAD's and all the rest they claimed was never going to be used against civilians, until they got their hands on it and the first use was of course peaceful protestors and kids.

The cause for outrage was that in a school district where they are desperately short of teachers, they chose to ignore that funding request and instead chose to put in expensive dogs with even more expensive handlers. The team to run one was two full time and one part time NYPD folks, all with 6 figure salaries and overtime, plus the robot and the deployment vehicle. So hundreds of thousands of dollars per year/per dog straight from the school budget to the NYPD, not to books or teachers. In other words, for the price of a hell of a lot of teachers and resources to lift low income schools out of the school-to-prison pipeline, they instead proposed doubling down on the pipeline and dumping that money on the NYPD to simply monitor the kids until they were ready for adult incarceration.

An anonymous developer on the robodog project angered by NYPD's proposed application of placement in minority schools already leaked a bunch of data on the subject. Particularly conditions that trigger the dog to shut down, terrain conditions that the dog cannot navigate, and physical and communication vulnerabilities. You tell researchers its for military use and will never be used against U.S. civilians, then as soon as they are operable try to put them in middle schools, you are going to get some leaks.

There is no 'new owner process'. Hasn't been for years. They simply refuse to issue new licenses. They sold off the existing licenses to monopolists years ago. This simply leaves the majority of the bandwidth unpopulated. The FCC's only remaining job is prosecuting anyone trying to use the empty space. They are no longer a licensing authority, they are watchdogs for oligarchs. This is what regulatory capture looks like, folks.

EOL on large automated capital equipment is longer than the EOL of any OS, so many industrial facilities still have a few XP boxes running something or other.
I physically remove all network capability on those machines. They need something, they get a USB stick
