...is because companies can sell extra chargers at inflated prices. Just about all laptops charge via the same spec'd power brick, they just all use different plugs.
When was the last time you saw a laptop charger that didn't output somewhere around 16.5-19 volts at 5 or less amps? In fact, since Apple's probably one of the worst offenders when it comes to having proprietary designs, I pulled the charger for my 17-inch MacBook Pro out of the wall and looked at it: "16.5-18.5V 4.6A max," it says.
The same thing has gone on with cell phones forever and has only begun to be fixed in the last two or so. Pretty much all charge via 4.5-5 volts and draw less than 2 amps, usually 0.5-1.
Probably 99% of the population has no idea that -80 dB is extremely good and -100 dB is awful. Further, the curve is logarithmic, which makes things confusing because most people are only particularly familiar with linear.
Yes, and if Google actually said they were going to store your DNS requests for any amount of time useful for doing more than simply cacheing them to make them faster, and/or they said they were going to otherwise tie them to any other information they have on us, I wouldn't use their DNS service.
Now read chapter 1 of their Terms of Service and see how it takes precedence over EVERYTHING else.
Actually, this is quite the opposite.
1.5 If there is any contradiction between what the Additional Terms say and what the Universal Terms say, then the Additional Terms shall take precedence in relation to that Service.
In the document, "Additional Terms" refers to additional ToS documents and Privacy Policy documents, etc., and "Universal Terms" refers to this. I think this is pretty much the most straightforward legalese I've ever seen, and it very clearly states that if the privacy policy of their DNS solution says they're not going to keep your data more than 48 hours, they are not going to, regardless of what the Universal Terms document states.

From what I understand, Zimbra actually powers Yahoo! Mail.
Almost everybody who pirates Windows 7 does so using Windows Loader which, once they started encrypting it, has never been targeted by MSRT.

I'm guessing people who actually are afraid of this don't like Slashdot, either.

Looks like they forgot the ROT13
