This is comparing apples to oranges. The builder in question is obviously the contractor, while the developer is an employee. The builder would eat the cost of the repairs while HIS employees would be paid their wage to fix it and at risk for termination for incompetence were they responsible for the initial defect.
If the developer was an independent contractor or freelancer, he would be required to fix his bugs on his own time (trust me, I've done it). If he is an employee, he would be paid his normal wage, and be at risk for termination should his employer feel it warranted.
Your boss can't make you fix bugs on your own time because you are an employee. If he takes issue with the quantity/severity of the bugs you produce, his his remedy is to fire you and replace you with someone more competent.
Well the optical transmission would go nearly the speed of light, but I'm not sure how fast the transmitter and detector can keep up with splitting and recombining 164 channels of data. I'm sure this is being looked at as a means of an intercontinental backbone, rather than something coming into your house.
Step 4 is "put it outside in sunlight"
I think the point is that they have bypassed using electrolysis, instead using the sunlight to stimlate a dye and catylist that splits the water directly. If so, it would be much more efficient than using a solar cell and electrolysis.
CCP is releasing their new update patch for Trinity next week. I don't think I've ever seen a software release patch notes that end with the disclaimer "Please note: No Windows System files were harmed during the creation or deployment of this patch."

I saw that episode, it was called Trinity(http://gateworld.net/atlantis/s2/206.shtml), and McKay's explosion only took out 3/4 of a solar system.
Due to the possibility of a robot army rising up, I refuse to help.
I for one welcome our new robotic overlords.
I'm pretty sure at this point in the US economy 0.00euro costs about $0.15 anyway, so I think we are paying the same price for text messages at least.
From James Doohan's wikipedia article:
"This article contains information regarding a deceased person who has recently been involved in a launch failure."
That's a new one....
I estimated a LoC as 10 TB (first number I saw after quick googling), which explains why my number is twice as big. At least my math was right :)

I'm sorry Captain, but we canno' reach these speeds with time-division multiplexing. the phase coils canno' handle it!
I calculate roughly 248,000 Library of Congresses per fortnight.
Curse my geeky genes for making me calculate that when you asked.
"The U.S. 10th Circuit Court of Appeals saw it differently and affirmed Matsch's decision to overturn the verdict."
This has already gone through the appeals court. While they could go to the supreme court, I suspect it's done and over.
Micro$oft would never allow it to be called G-Fi.

It's a shame the energy savings will be offset by the increase in energy prices.
