There is enough capacity in the grid today that if 70% of all cars and trucks were electric, they could be charged overnight without the need for adding a single new power generation unit. It's time for a revolution, an ELECTRIC REVOLUTION!!!
Laws that inhibit good and desirable behaviour, are bad laws. No other way to say it.
I wonder if the huge spike in spam from Tuesday is at all related to this botnet... It was crushing, we had so many users complaining about slow mail service, and it was traced back to a maxed out mail server diligently blocking the spam. The storm passed by Wednesday, but it did so us that we need to upgrade our infrastructure.
If you think you know all the inner workings of your car, you must not be an experienced engineer. Do you understand your EFI? The timings, failure modes, economy vs performance... What about your airbag system? At what G does it deploy? Your ABS... what sample rate does it have?, latency for actions?... Dual zone Climate controls? Even something as simple as lights and turn indicators: what controls the rate of the turn signal blink?
My point is that I doubt very much that you understand the inner workings of your car. If you do any work on it, then it is through a procedure manual that includes all the troubleshoot steps for you, and at no point do you really understand the whole system.
This is a fantastic service! It would be a great way for the troops in Iraq to get their message out; since they recently had a big crack down too. China is not the only place where you can be prosecuted / persecuted for what you write online.
but I see a SOA (Services Oriented Architecture) solution to the problem. These building blocks will be used to scale the productivity of the developer. As more and more services like Flickr, Google Maps, and the like continue to provide key services to the developers, our mashups will become more compelling. Just remember to make your mashup a service so that someone may build upon it when you are done.

Thanks for pointing out Heinimer! I've been seeing too much BS come out of Joel lately, and also Paul Graham, that I'm searching for a voice to counter their claims. I love Joel's and Paul's writing, they truly are spectacular wordsmiths, but something about them recently has me scratching my head... To much self serving BS is leaking into their writing that it has started to lose its value.
Any argument against Backwards Compatibility (BC) is usually based form the point of view from the developer and not the user. A developer decides that it is too hard to implement a feature, or some such thingy, and they decide that a "re-write" is the best option. This is quite often the wrong decision if you are developing software for money. Throwing away the mountain of existing code so that a developer "feels" more comfortable is bad business. There are often better ways to solve this problem, and refactoring the code early and often is a good strategy.
Now, if you happen to write code for fun, like me, then you are of course free to chuck it all out and start again. The Fun Factor outweighs the cost, since the cost is free. So govern yourselves accordingly, if you want to make money, then do as little as possible to develop the code, if you are in it for love and glory then do it for yourself.
Everyone knew they'd hang him, and now they will. The trial is simply for show, yes he committed crimes against humanity, but the reason he is being hanged is that he lost the war. History is written by the victors.
So now the question is: Are the 3000 American deaths worth the hanging of Saddam?
I truly believe the world would have been better off with this war criminal still in power. We had him crippled by sanctions and inspections. He posed no real threat.
The GOP is losing ground because they deserve to lose. It starts at the top, and all the way down they are rotten. The sheer number of scandals is a very good inidcator that they need to gut the party and remove the cancers from within.
YouTube is simply a new tool to help inform the electorate. The content is a product of the available interesting stories to tell. And the GOP has many "interesting" stories...
I'm amazed at this since the JavaScript parts are still borked. Try using the GoDaddy account admin interfaces in IE7, they work once, and then fail to repeat the same action in the same session.
Firefox works very well, if you're looking for an alternate. IE6 works too. It's just IE 7 that is causing this trouble.
I doubt very much that this is a factual opinion. It sounds more like a manufactured sound bite designed to gain press in the western world. "Look at us, we're not evil either!"
If you search for "Used Tubes" Universal Tubes is on the first page. There is little chance that someone seeking tubes is going to be confused by the existence of new cultural phenomenon like YouTube.

I fscking hate SPAM!

What contributes to this cost? More expensive cameras? More bandwidth in the braodcast? More disk space in the digital production?

This might be the most expensive boondoggle, but a disaster is where peoples lives are lost. There are better examples of computer disasters.
