This could be an interesting use of the Earth's tendency to be a thermal sink. Caves are always about 55 F, as I recall. Maybe they can use this to their advantage.
This won't be as useful for Internet use (as mentioned above, the last link will continue to suck), but for businesses and other LANs with high demand (data centers, anyone?), this will be a big help.
If a crime is committed in space, we need to execute a nice antique trial-by-fire... if they survive decompression, they must be innocent. If not, they're guilty. It's foolproof!
And that option is still open. Vendors can (and in my opinion, should) offer a default choice of Windows. But they should also offer the option to get an unbundled system.
I'm not sure... I've been able to get my girlfriend and sister to use my linux system without problem. What needs to be done is to focus on out-of-the-box usability. Turn it on, jump through a minimal number of hoops, and never worry about it again. Kinda like Macs do. We need to hide the "magic" of config files, the different system services, and the rubble from the various wars (KDE vs. GNOME, RPM vs. Debian packages, etc). Windows has done this very well, and it's time we caught up.
Indeed. I've been using pidgin/GAIM for 3 years, and recommend it to everyone whose computer I've had to remove viruses from. There's really little reason to use AOL or MSN's client.

If only my university would learn to quit bending over and taking it!
Again hating ads in the middle of articles. Tanks to a wonderful error in rendering, the text discussing EXACTLY THAT was covered. Ignore me now.

This is covered in the article, but no, they shouldn't. No more than you'd expect a cell phone to come without software.
I'd like to see if more public attention makes them go after the site. I doubt it, but maybe... Hah.
