i3s are pretty damn fast, considering. Windows 7 starter is a piece of shit though. It is a tragedy that Microsoft managed to browbeat OEMs into shipping it on netbooks.
Not really. Atom is slow. But very few desktop tasks are CPU bound these days, and the Sandy Bridge Celerons and Pentiums are pretty damn fast, considering a P4 is sufficient for many user tasks.
That sound's a lot like a manufacturer using a sub-optimal design to avoid lawsuits from Apple. The motion of the user's finger on the trackpad is an analogue for the motion of the pointer on the screen. The screen is rectangular.
The versatility of FPGAs comes at a steep price in die area, power consumption, and operating frequency. If your design goal is "We want to do this specific kind of math Real Fast.", and somebody already makes an ASIC that does that kind of math Real Fast, the ASIC is generally a lot more cost effective than using FPGAs.
SOPA would have jurisdiction no matter what. If it doesn't, laws can get passed that would grant it. A strict rule of etiquette would have to be in place with the idea that all content is public domain, and that copyright-infringing content will be removed on discovery.
Doesn't that kind of defeat the purpose? The entire point to a technical solution to a social problem is that you can sidestep those persnickety legal issues.
Students wouldn't be interested because there wouldn't be much content to study off it.
How long has it been since you were a student, exactly?
From what I recall of Freenet's routing algorithms, nodes would bootstrap a good bit faster if the network had an underlying structure (social, geograpical, etc.).
Indeed. My hope is that it will force the casual pirates to get off their asses and take security seriously.
As a long-time dabbler in anonymizing peer-to-peer networks (that could really use more nodes with fat pipes), I, for one, welcome our new media conglomerate overlords.
And what if they did? The media lobby isn't problematic because the corporations who might throw in against it are weak. The media lobby is problematic because it exists at all. If the internet economy brought its resources to bear against SOPA/PIPA, it could perhaps be defeated. But what happens when the next attempt on our civil liberties doesn't cut into some industry's bottom line?
The tech companies would be useful to defeat SOPA in the current political climate, for sure, but there will inevitably come a day when the people's interests don't align with one corporation or another.
She doesn't come back from lunch and have to wait for her web browser to get swapped back in because the braindead XP memory manager paged it out in favor of the virus scanner?

Doesn't install software either, eh?

Sounds like she doesn't need much more than a web browser and a media player. Perfect candidate.
This is always the only sensible solution to any malware infection. It is impossible to conclusively determine whether malware is present on a system. The presence of one piece of malware on a machine indicates a higher probability of more malware on the machine. You should always reformat and restore from backup.
Oh and I've reconditioned one or two old laptops recently for my nieces, and they're just too old to run anything other than XP.
Or Linux. Any computer too puny to run Windows 7 is too puny for gaming, so there's not much point in running Winders at all. Besides, XP has horrid memory management, poor x86-64 support, no configurable keyboard shortcuts (thus no ctrl-shift-n for new folder), and no package manager.

Why do you consider this a good thing?

There's gonna be a what?
TROLL FIGHT!
There is absolutely no reason for this shit to go on.
And why not? Allocating $2000 of resources per unit to hand bags is monstrously inefficient.

The health care bill was just as much a joke as SOPA is. Mandatory private insurance. No price controls. Corporate welfare at its finest.
Too bad we can't have real socialized medicine.
Freenet, I2P, Tor, GNUnet (if it ever gets a userbase).
The enemy of my enemy is my enemy. But I do so love it when my enemies thwart each other.

I love ssh.
Yep. On average, half into each car. Do the math.

And the remarkable fact is that your post is otherwise coherent.
Frankly, that's disgusting. I pay you for a dumb pipe. Mind your own damn business.

T8 fluorescents are substantially more efficient than LEDs.
