Except, unlike water, gas, and other "utilities," it costs nothing to transmit.
There's people working on the servers and cables, but they aren't upgrading anything. Some customer support lines, yeah. But how much per GB do you think it really costs them to send it?
And you're posting on Slashdot, instead of flying your private jet to Japan to personally pick up debris and rescue people.
Oh right, only rich people have private jets, a lot planes won't fly to Japan now, and even if you get a flight, unless you are currently in Japan with a car (most public transportation is down where help would be needed, and most Japanese people don't own cars), you'd have to walk to the disaster areas. You can't do anything except donate money and hope.
Grow up and learn that shit happens, and that your sheltered life can be destroyed in an instant, with little other people can do to help.
I think the sole fact that in the USA, there are more deaths by utilizing wind power versus nuclear that shows the safety of nuclear.
And there are disaster scenarios for every plant. This is what safety regulations are for, to prevent a disaster like the Gulf oil spill a short while ago.
Slightly interesting, but I'd say it's still full of crap.
There's too much noise/static and lossy compression from mp3/$foo to even think about trying to infect a machine through line-in. Yes the audio may be digitally processed, but you'd have to find such a noise that would work and give you a full blown infection, that works compressed, can handle line-in static, for a specific make of a car radio system.
But it's slightly off-topic, since there wouldn't be static/errors in an audio cd unless it was scratched, which this story is about.
Where? The only site is Youtube, and it's beta and for testing. Name a site with over 10000 visits per html5 video that has regular support for HTML5 h264 video.
I'll give you a hint, it's a loaded question because no sane site advertises full support for this because it's not a set standard yet!
You can't impulse torrent a book. The availability of a $foop2p ebook goes from moderate to impossible to download. Of course you have to know what the best $foop2p is to begin with, and know where to look.
Convenience is worth a lot to consumers. If you have popular/good books, and they are easy to find, and they are cheap ($3 can be a good price versus $.99) , you have lots of sales.
Steve Ballmer had no idea how right he was when he chanted about developers. You have to make the right/good tools to develop to actually get software on your platform, rather than having the best hardware but hard to make software. Not that coding is easy, but if you have a shitty compiler you are forced to use and/or no easy debugging, you are going to have a shitty time.

I would have probably drawn more ire if I said he fell from the pier into the pyre, which was my original idea.
He really slipped from the pier.
Even by idle standards.

So we won't get smartass comments about 14/3 instead of 3/14.

His point still stands. Thanks Captain Pendant!

No lifes will do anything for a buck >:(
Avast is a free antivirus that does the same thing. It's free for personal use (both this and Avast).

Hence so many dual releases for PC and 360.

So, Valve is going to file for bankruptcy soon right? All their games are being pirated and Steam was a total bust.

Guess which program is the first result?
You realize the extensions are written in JavaScript. Find the extension folder and spend 2+ hours reading the source code.
Fixed and emphasis mine. Code auditing, even for a small plugin, takes hours and sometimes even days, months, years.
The PS2 was released March 2000. The PS3 November 2006. If the XBOX team hasn't started yet, I'm surprised.
