I suspect that even more important than the good search results is the fact that google gives you a search engine and not some fucking portal site with everything, a kitchen sink and a quantum gonkulator that takes forever to download.
At the moment, there is fierce competition between convenience store chains in Japan, while Tsutaya rules to video reantal market more than Blockbuster does in the US. Thus, I don't think it would be as easy for convenience stores to implement. Especially because member cards are unknown in convenience stores, yet accepted and necessary for video rantal.
Yeah, you don't need any data to formulate ignorant prejudices. Fact is, Japanese video viewers view most frequently the same Hollywood blockbusters that Joe Sixpack in Bumfuck, Arkansas does.
Nonsense, IPv6 has enough address space to assign a separate IP to each grain of dirt on the world's surface. And routing is not really more complex than it is now. In fact, it could well be less complex because the larger address space allows for clear hierarchies. i.e. a company can get a single large IP range instead of they 25 smaller ranges they get now because the address space is fragmented.
God, that's bullshit. There isn't even enough IPv4 addresses around to give one to each person, and static IPs are desirable, and more than one of them per person.
Don't you realize how idiotic it is to avoid the update to IPv6 by instead requiring an update to NAT and an update of every protocol that doesn't work well with NAT. That's more time and money wasted, not less!!
Priority doesn't necessarily mean that they will be getting a higher one than you. Please get over your fear of not getting enough of the grub. QoS is highly desirable for everyone because some services could get a higher priority, such as Voice over IP or telnet. Your conversation and your telnet session would get a higher priority, reducing lag, while your HTTP download (for which lag is not a problem) would get a lower priority.
Nah, 99.5% is sufficient, because the remaining.5% won't be able to distribute the software very much without becoming very visible and thus easy to arrest.
Quite trivial to crack, since the machine can then easily copy the code. The only uncrackable software is one that runs on its own operating system on its own hardware that is physically secured in a way that prevents tampering.
Which implies that any axiomatic system strong enough to construct the integers suffers from inconsistencies.
Um no, it doesn't. It merely implies that it suffers from incompleteness. Another one of Gödel's results proves that consistency cannot be proven inside the system, but it can certainly (and usually is) be given, and can be proven using tools outside the system.
No shit, sherlock. I guess then the companies selling such a PC with windows would have to use one such winmodem with Linux sopport or a conventional modem.
Who the fuck needs a cutting edge new video card, when the perfectly fine games of 1 year ago are much cheaper anyway? How is a normal user ever going to fill up his "cheapo" 10GB drive? Just because YOU are a geek with a hardware fetish doesn't mean everybody else is.
It doesn't matter if Microsoft charges

Why the hell? I'd say that those tasks are exactly where Linux is perfectly able to replace and outperform Windows most completely.
Even more important would be to stop the NDA-protected OEM license that disallows companies to sell dual-boot systems. I can't imagine a more effective Windows-killer than widely available pre-installed dual-boot systems.
I'm afraid it is you who has missed the point: charging for bandwidth doesn't even come close to being a solution because emails require so little bandwidth. Flatrate access is NOT the problem. It doesn't exist in many countries, yet they are just as affected by spam.
You're just as wrong as those claiming that it means a difference in keylenght of 1.5 bits, just in the other direction. It's not 512^(1/3), it's (2^512)^(1/3) = 2^170.66...
Wrong, a bit of key lenght does NOT equal doubling the cracking time for RSA, since factoring (with or without the new algorithm) has a much lower complexity than the brute force "try all possible keys" that is necessary with symmetric ciphers.
Sure, market forces work - just in the opposite way they're intended to. And I am a member of several high-volume mailing lists and recieve several thousand mails per month. Were emails made artificially expensive, those MLs would either die or have to charage a fee, which would hurt them severely, due ot the administrative overhead alone. And it would most likely not even help much against spam, since the spammers would simply find ways to mask their email traffic as HTTP.
Sorry, doesn't work. The problem is that the bandwidth cost of emails is miniscule compared to other common applications, for example, webbrowsing. And trying to make email bandwidth more expensive than other bandwidth would be both easy to circumven and kill off perfectly legal and desirable forms of mass mailing like discussion MLs.
Sorry, but market forces do not solve all problems. In the case of spam, the asymmetry of the cost/benefit distribution, which is inherent to the system, makes the market useless.
Better yet, get your hands on any system through which a lot of traffic is routed. Grep all traffic on SMTP and POP3 for email addresses. Be sure to have a huge HD to save the millions of valid addresses (if you look only at the envelope).
Fact is, if you send an email, it usually goes through dozens of systems, each of which could log your address and sell it to a spammer.
Unfortunately, spam is so cheap that it is profitable, even when 99.9% of the victims ignore it. Thus, legislation is the ONLY way to combat it. At the moment, only a miniscule fraction of businesses uses spam. If all of them did, you could easily get upwards of 1000 pieces of spam daily. Good luck ignoring that, when your regular email is in there somewhere.
The layer change is of course a property of the disc, but it is the fault of the player when it causes the video to jump noticeably. Of course, a good mastering studio will try to put it in a scene change so that it doesn't matter.
The reviewer doesn't necessarily have to be more proficient than the coder, because the review is done by both of them together, i.e. the coder explains what his code is doing, and the reviewer tries to spot holes.
Formal verification, on the other hand, is a joke. It requires an incredible amount of work for even quite trivial specifications.

More like "can attempt to open". Whether it succeeds or not is material for a betting pool.

If you want FULL "compliance" (i.e. ability to open all documents), you bascially have to own Office 97, 200 AND XP, each costing twice as much.
Huh? That must be a pretty weak and uncreative 3-year-old. VHS cassettes are quite fragile, not to mention the tape itself.
