The only reason they have so much bandwidth expenses is that they keep the server to themselves. Release the server to the players and the problem is solved.
I think you're too naive. The US Department of Commerce has created ICANN, and ICANN has not freed itself from it's control, apparently. So it has powers over DNS. It certainly has influence over the operations of ARIN. It owns.mil and.gov, whereas every other country has to use their 2 letter ISO 3166-1 country code (.us used to be a government niche until a few months ago).
Isn't that control? There's no other country with powers over the de facto DNS services. None.
While we're at it, I've ran a variation of the command on/usr/src/linux and found a number of goto's (and excuses for them in comments...) but this one is pretty pertinent:
(drivers/scsi/NCR5380.c, lines 1466-1468)
if (hostdata->selecting) {
goto part2;/* RvC: sorry prof. Dijkstra, but it keeps the
rest of the code nearly the same */
}
So you're running this without any indication that the files you're grepping are really source code (are you running it on a clean/usr/src?) or a mix of source code, binaries and grocery lists which just happen to have the string 'goto' somewhere, and then seeing how many times that happens with wc? Dijkstra would be ashamed of you.
But I never play it, because of the absurd costs of games in play centers/whatever you might call it in Brazil. I'd pay a quarter for a go at Pinball, but any game will cost you at least a buck.
It's also worth noting that almost everybody calls these places (GameWorks-like places with lots of arcades) fliperamas here.
Each new track on a CD-R costs you a few megabytes.
You cannot reuse a CD-R after it is full.
CD-RWs are expensive and can only be read in CD burners.

Same spelling here (Brazil), but we do have CS courses too. People don't pay much attention to the name of the course when it comes to the curriculum though.
Letting the fact that Celsius is a valid unit in the SI go by, I'd say that adding 273 to a given number is not terribly difficult to do. Certainly a lot easier than converting between one of the units among the plethora of Imperial ones to another one.
So the american workers actually deserve to be paid more than foreign workers? Funny... Do you check the nationality of the authors of the software that you run?
The free fall will involve 200 scientific experiments in the stratosphere and the troposphere, some of them linked to the possibility of parachute escapes from stranded space shuttles.
Have you even read the article? The man has been doing it for his entire life (he has jumped 8300 times before). He seems to be very prepared and there are actual details of the pressure and temperatures his space suit can resist to. Overall, I'd say this man has everything to be successful.
If you can't do it, that doesn't mean it can't be done.

Great list. My favorite genre in Electronica is mostly what people call Trip-Hop -- stuff by Air, Portishead, Massive Attack, Kruder & Dorfmeister and others. There is a great directory of Trip-Hop artists called World of Trip Hop. Check it out.
If you notice, there are permanent ads on the field that are bought by Coca-Cola, Fujitsu, and other companies. Look at the sides of the fields, they're all surrounded by them. That's the common way of advertising in football. (And also, the occasional "quick ad" that the narrators do when someone shoots the ball far away, thus pausing the game for a few seconds until the reposition of the ball).
Anyway, it is much less annoying than the commercials on certain other sports.
I think they hired him to be the excellent coder he is, not to serve tables on a miniskirt. They don't give a shit if he doesn't bathe himself, all they care about is if he's happy enough to keep coding away all day.
As for "optimized for your computer": music plays at 1second/second. What difference does it make if your decoding engine is capable of playing.5ms faster, if it's still only going to play at 1x?
He's talking about the impact of the decoding of the (compressed) songs on your system, I guess.
Running a root name server is nothing like running one of the gTLD servers. Believe me, my company runs one of the roots and provides support for another root. I got yelled at the last time I said the name of my company, so you'll have to trust me (not that I'm bitter or anything).
You're lying, that's what you are. All companies running the roots are known.

It is the default. Since version 3.3.
In what sense it is not complete, pray tell?

Not on my system. Speak for yourself, or prove your assertions.
