The problem (as I see it) is that it makes it pretty hard to offer free wireless to anybody who is near (i'd sure as hell take it down again when the tenth person comes knocking on my door, asking if he really CAN use my wireless).
And, honestly, unless you're like me and testing the service pack for work-related reasons... why are you installing it the day it was released? That's just dumb. At least wait a week. Yeah, everybody knows you've gotta wait until SP1 SP1 comes along - at least.
But the sun, the earth, the galaxy etc. is moving relative to what exactly? the universe itself. But what part of it? most of the universe is just nothingness, and the rest is moving in all directions, so it's kind of hard to measure against that. And also, I suspect moving through time would be like moving through the other dimensions, in the sense that you cant just zap from one position/time to another. Instead you move gradually towards your destination, passing all the intermediate positions on your way.
Technical nitpick: Google is not a tracker.
A tracker keeps track of who is downloading a particular torrent and is a hub where the peers exchange addresses.
I'd say the hosts-file fix is easier, since the address of the tracker is written in the.torrent. So for every torrent you download, you need to change the address.
But I still fail to see how this differs from google (we know their intentions differ, but it's not easy to prove)
I bet a google search on any of the titles mentioned in tfa will result in some kind of torrent link.
The problem is that when an extension cord has three warning labels and my thermos says "Hot fluids must be handled with care" they lose meaning because nobody reads them anymore.
at my old workplace we had an auto-shutdown policy, 30 mins after normal hours. A simple popup came up with a 5 min timeout, and there was a "Don't shut down for the next 24 hrs" shortcut on the desktop if you had a long-lasting job running. There was wake-on-lan for updates and 10 mins before hours. Worked like a charm..
Excuse me, but you seem to confuse Dynamic compression and Data compression
An audio CD has a bitrate of 1378 kbps (44,1kHz * 16 b/channel * 2 channels), no matter how much the (dynamic) compression has been added.
The number you give interests me. If it's true, you could transcode a.wav to 44,1 kHz 2 b/ch and not be able to hear the difference.
But it's the only field where you can get proof, at least in the meaning it's used here. In other sciences, background knowledge is based on observations, and thus you can only get theories. Good and reasonable as they may be, the background is a posteriori, and therefore does not prove anything.
Energy stored to your system: 10345 kWh * 0.19 $/kWh = 1965.60 $ Energy retrieved from your system: 8978 kWh *0.39 $/kWh = 3501.40 $ Total to pay: -1535.8 $
Because electricity is cheaper at when the demand is low.
The European system creates a market failure that requires aggressive regulatory intervention because carriers have little incentive to reduce the amount they charge other carriers' customers to call their own customers. I think I have an incentive for them here: If we take two carriers A and B, and their clients 1 and 2. A has an agreement with B about how much it costs for A when 1 calls 2, and vice-versa. This price is of course offset to 1. if A wants a better agreement, so he can give 1 a lower price, he has to offer something in return: a better price on B's agreement. Of course, if A is the only big player on the market regulation is required. But then again, the free market seldom works when there are only a few players on the field.
The legal history also requires that phone numbers not be allocated based on devices, because when they were we had a lot of trouble with people spamming fax machines Isn't that kinda backward logic on the lawmakers side? Why not outlaw [fax|txt]-spamming instead? (And remember to make it opt-in instead of opt-out).
Americans pay some of the lowest amounts for cell phone air time, so it's not as if the system we have is ripping us off for airtime. But you pay for both incoming and outgoing, so it's not just a dollar-to-dollar comparison. (I'll leave the actual math up to those who have the power to change it).
You have the option to not pick up - especially with caller ID coming by default on most cell service.

I haven't read TFA, but my guess is that it's using google gears to provide offline capability. Available for win+mac+Linux on Firefox and IE6+
I know I'd be pretty pissed if I got to the bathroom at night, turned on the light and got a 35000 lumen spotlight in my face :)

Or the same reason I can't connect to your webserver?

Damn, i'm confused now. I guess the only right choice would be to reply to your post.
Easy: Google will send you an 8-character registration-code, and next time you speak to the press, just make sure they quote your registration-code

What if you only need the 1.21 GW for a microsecond? Then it might be feasible.
Because then C and D will swoop in...

isn't that kind of retarded, or is it just because i'm used to slashdot not even having an edit-button?
