I kinda liked the Geocities neighborhoods. The old URLs still work for individual sites, but the index pages for blocks and neighborhoods are gone, so you can't wander around and meet your neighbors. Too bad, I guess it was MySpace 0.1 - before its time, or before critical mass.
In many cases, not only do we own legitimately purchased copies on several different media, but the items in question are out of print. The labels are sitting on a treasure trove of musical heritage, and our only access to many artists is through copies ripped by individuals.
Where I work, we have customers. They pay the company, we get paid. Sometimes they have urgent requests, we like to keep them happy because they send us money. You don't always have six weeks to bring in new machines, advertise, interview and staff up, and it's not fair to new hires to lay them off after three weeks. So, sometimes nights and weekends make sense, and over the long term we do better and can bring in those machines and new hires.
I would cheerfully power down if IE7 offered to restore my previous session. It's one of the features I love about Firefox and Opera, but I can't use them for everything. At day's end I may have ten or twelve browser windows open, three to six tabs in use in each window. Time to leave, and I'm in the middle of researching something, juggling many windows and tabs. No, I don't want to bookmark any of the stuff, it's just work in process, and I've aready got around 5000 "favorites" to deal with. I dread the monthly morning-after Wednesday for just this reason, when Windows Update cheerfully tells me it had to restart my machine for me.
Unless you've got a third-generation connector where the contacts that count disconnect a couple milliseconds after the legacy ones, which could trigger a warning.
I did FIRST for five years (wonder if my 3000 hours of community service will ever come in handy). The answer to your question is whoever has the best marketing and fundraising. Our kids worked their asses off doing car washes, spaghetti dinners, etc. The volunteer engineers do most of the actual work, the kids are just supposed to be exposed to an actual real-life (hopeless) engineering project. Aside from a couple of real quality teams, the ones that do well are the ones with deep-pocket corporate sponsors. At one competition I heard a team member say "Oh, we're having a great first year! We called XX and said we were thinking about it, and they gave us $50k!" Cripe, we sent 30 people to the nationals on half that, all kid-raised. One year we got an award for persistence. Yay.

It's the ones doing "useful work" that generate the heat, the idle transistors should have very little dissipation.

Somebody hasn't watched enough episodes of The Tick
or Sudafed :-(
You're not in marketing, are you?
Easy - use the full crystals as aggregate in concrete to build lots of hydro dams and nuclear waste storage facilities. Or sell them in New Age shops?

Well, Google has slowed Gmail considerably by adding some features nobody was clamoring for. Maybe they'll catch up to Hotmail soon.

The infotainment industry (including NPR and PBS) did a pretty thorough job of bludgeoning Howard Dean when he was peceived as a threat.
Maybe you should try CCCP
