Good addendum to the article here. While they have very similar titles, they offer vastly different reasons for this landing. Justification for each other? Maybe just a good way to kill two birds with one stone.
A practice quiz saving the world might serve us better if there ever is a final exam.

I think the problem with the PC market is the faction that seeks to undermine the popularity of the PC. For what reason? Their personal financial gain perhaps?
Yes... I was a bit shocked to see a +5, but if you think about it, thats really the only practical application of this post. And at least for me, its not a dating tip from a/. comment.. its a plan.
True, I wasn't referring to what you had described, but the principle behind it is the same- smart networking devices that monitor link status and dynamically route around it. If it something that is global (or least you work completely within the confines of this system), you're all set, in the same way that access points do handoffs- however, if you aren't privied to that kind of luck, some sort of tunnel (think VPN) allows for a similar solution. Not only does that satisfy said requirement of a dynamic route, but will also let you connect to another machine whereby you can leech of their DNS. And why specifically TCP?
Yes, SMTP is an amazingly strong example of redundancy. However, we installed redundant fiber at a school I work for within a few days, and just for fun we'd pull plugs randomly and monitor the response time while a alternate link was used. I think 10ms was about average... Then it stopped being fun after a while. We even tested load balancing.
So my question is.. why are we treating this like its a new thing? This seems like another one of the frequent quasi-ads which seem to be more common lately here on/.
I find that when there's a retaliatory action such as this, there's either some cash or pride/ego on the line. Since he stands to lose money on this, one must wonder if one of his financial advisors told him to buy youtube previously and he declined.

I was going to say something about Armageddon.. but I think thats well covered. Instead though, I found this article -
This just in! Britney Spears pays $92M to be the first woman to have a child on another spacial body. Sources report that she is no longer content to have child on earth, like the social norm. Critics suggest its just another cry for attention.
Here's my thought though- If you're smart enough to figure out that someone is leeching, you should be smart enough to enable some sort of low-level encryption.
Singaporeans have access to the now-defunct WEP standard, right?
Reminds me of the time, I was working at a camp one weekend and wanted to play CS:S. Steam needed to connect, so I went down the road to get my dose of wi-fi. Out walks a farmer with a shotgun wanting to know what we were doing and threatening to call the sheriff. Our response- (Which was legit too) uploading homework.
I am socializing, r-tard. I'm logged on to an MMORPG with people from all over the world, and getting xp with my party using teamspeak!
Yeah.. in HL2 (like when you meet up with Alyx and Dogg the first time.. Thats not too fun except for playing with the mini teleporter and breaking crates. All the same, it is some form of interactivity- at the expense of being a 1/2 hour long.
HL2 cutscenes are fairly nice. Well acted and interactive. BUT they take FOREVER and there's no way to skip through them when you're playing through for the seventh time to get ready for the release of Episode 1+2.
Guild Wars does a nice job on the "Skip>>>" button, but everyone in your party has to hit it in order to skip. The scenes are important to the plot and just plain beautiful. An addition to that with NightFall is that characters' mouths move. Alas, they are cinematic and not intereactive. Oh well.
My VX8300 takes unlimited video (except when it comes to nearing the edge of its 512 mb MicroSD threshold (purchased via ebay (so what, I use nested parentheses, I'm a programmer))) and transfers over super quick with my modified vx6000 data cable (had to gnaw away at a tab). From there I convert the proprietarily encoded video to something else and send it on its merry way. 30 seconds = ~500k.
... Video messaging rates are rediculous. Maybe if one could send the video via a non-phone SMS service, things might look hopeful. Interesting concept however.
It seems to me that lately a lot more people have been denying the presence of consoles in their lives and returning to the oft forgotten PC. With Guild Wars: Nightfall, the next WoW, and HL2:Episode 2 just around the corner, I think the PC gaming market share will become stronger!

What would suck is if the resulting explosion actually did set the rock on a collision course with earth!

You're either a 1 or a 0. Alive or Dead.

Yet another ad disguised as a post.
I'm in.
Me too.
Mpphhff mmmfp
Everyone equip healing potions to the hotbar if you haven't already. Uh, Kyle, go ahead and cast Arcane Brilliance to raise our intelligence.
Hang on, I'm chaining my fire spells for max range.
Nice. Stan, what enchantment does your Cloak of the Tiger have?
+15 agility
Give the cloak to Kenny: he needs the agility boost for bow attacks.
'K.
Hold on, this fight could last more than twelve hours. What if we run out of food?
Don't worry, I have that covered. [presses intercom button] Mom?
Yes hon?
More Hot Pockets!
hahaha... I bet they served nubcakes that day.

"Hey babe you wanna come over?"
"Sure... Any reason?"
"ooo nothing.. just something I have planned"
*Cue heavenly fireworks*

I have heard of it, but this is why we watch Mythbusters.

Thats why I use the Microwaved-Hard-Drive method. It works! Mostly because you can't find the HD amidst the smoldering ruins of the house.
Exactly. Would hucking a grenade at it accomplish the same thing?
Also, does it distinguish friend from foe? Maybe some sort of RFID tag or something...
All the same... I would NOT stand there to demonstrate.
Here's my thought though-

yep.. fins plain and simple. I have two nostrils. THat meant that my ancestors had 3 mouths.

If someone could mix the two.. it'd be hot.

Hah! Totally missed that. Its been one day and I rely too much on the Firefox 2.0 textbox spell checker already.

Comon Canada! Pick it up! You're letting your guard down and slacking off with your peetwopeeing.
Kind of disappointing. j/k. I wonder if the RIAA would be happy if we didn't have the highest percentage.
