Java is verbose, that is true. But in Java, the easy things and the hard things are equally verbose (which is great).
Comparing to Python: Maintaining Java is way easier because due to its strictness, great IDEs have been developed. Refactoring code, call hierarchies and so on are just not doable in Python.
I use both, but I understand why companies will stick to Java. I'd prefer a consistent Java repository over a pile of scripts any time.
GFS is proprietary and for internal use only. The only released a paper describing how it works (don't know if that content is enough to rebuild it). I think GFS (global file system) from Redhat and OpenGFS is something differently. Hadoop is what you want. What would we do without the wiki
I too think that Humans would survive the serious climate changes with severe weather. But in small numbers (some thousands, as 70000 years ago) and there would be nothing left of modern technology. But I do think we could dig up some wikipedia dump later:-), no seriously, knowledge should be largely preserved. On the other hand, when you see how much new knowledge was lost about camera technology between 1920-1950, some things will probably have to be rediscovered.
The distribution is... that you are distributing your code that is already a derivative work at this point, regardless of whether you distribute the library to other people
No. You can do whatever you want with the code on your machine.
If we can learn something from the history of computing (transistors, silicone chips, disk space), we know that we are good at aggressive exponential growth. I think they had 1 qubit calculation experiments running 2-3 years ago, and 4 qubit or so last year. Now you can calculate when they will crack AES.
What wasn't mentioned yet is that due to the superposition of states (instead of 0/1), you can define requirements to the state, ideally so that it must be definite. Then you measure it and retrieve the (one) solution. It like calculating with all possible inputs at once. However, it is still just another Turing machine.
A DNS server that does just forwarding and caching. aggressive = caching for a week or so.
While your browser also does some caching, the dns cacher holds the cache between restarts. As GGP mentioned, waiting for DNS to walk the tree can take seconds. The (unix) operating system does no caching by itself.
The easiest to set up is probably dnsmasq. Point it to your nameservers, and let/etc/resolv.conf point to localhost. Set the number of cache entries and duration.
Drawback: You will not be that up to date with domains that change its IP (e.g. new owner).
Why should it? It also doesn't recognize Mozilla, Firefox. That is great, because Mozilla chose to not pollute the users dictionary with product names.
Software patent problems would go away if
(a) you would be doing like the EU: don't have any, or
(b) pay patent office personal significantly more if they can reject a application with prior art, or/and
(c) software patents would last 5 years max [my least favorite]
It would be a shame if those MBs of RAM would be lying around unused! If the browser can cache something you might still need, why not store it on a if-another-app-needs-the-space-I'll-free-it level?
Seriously, I only have problems when I use adobe flash.

Nobody move!
Right
Everyone is in a good mood. Why not :-)

or snakes and lizards. I'll be a crocodile
Yes, shoot at the sun, that'll solve the problem.
We got 100 years left to say it's gonna happen next year

You can not recycle the fuel rods and other components. Also, Uran is as limited as oil.
Nuclear energy is not clean.
You could make the point that you need energy for making solar panels aswell, however that would be an unfair comparison (by amount and material).

apt-get search will have advertisement on the right side

Example: decomposition of a number into its prime factors.

It will easily cache a weeks worth of web pages
I doubt that the dns cache holds web pages, you mean domain names.
A DNS server that does just forwarding and caching.
aggressive = caching for a week or so.
While your browser also does some caching, the dns cacher holds the cache between restarts.
As GGP mentioned, waiting for DNS to walk the tree can take seconds.

Drawback: You will not be that up to date with domains that change its IP (e.g. new owner).
Use an aggressive dns cacher. The web will feel faster.
no, not just one page about how to read a book, a book!

I prefer stale sf projects to scientific papers that say they modified X (e.g. ns), but never show the code.

The drivers for Windows XP and Linux do not seem to have this ability.
Is this a Mac-extended version of http://xkcd.com/619/
Everyone who posts xkcd links is modded up, right?

Oh you said the drivers don't have this ability.
