If you're running your code as with your user privs, you've already lost your keys. If you run your code as root, you've already lost your keys. You're talking about a sandbox. This is a non-problem, as there are already half a dozen virtualization options.
So I'll still be limited by my Internet connection, HD, or video card, but my CPU core runs some smidgen faster than before? Yawn. Wake me when I get a 16-way on 1 die, or a 10 watt version of the slightly slower model.

I use Firefox, Adblock and Flashblock. The Intarweb isn't slow for me, or probably 1/2 the users on here. When it slows enough for Joe Mouthbreather on his Walmart $299 PC, people might start to care/redesign/etc. It's a self-correcting problem.

Here's where MS weasels in and manages to change the criteria, much like the way Kirk changed the Kobiyashi Maru scenario. They'll subtly get the rules altered, either by lying, or using their IP influence, or promising to dot the Is and cross the Ts just as soon as that cert. is issued.
1) Midwestern US state, check. 2) a blind eye towards actual costs of anything, check. 3) recommending a shitty product, check.
sounds like a perfect match - undoubtedly some mid-level administrator in charge of little else, got a new PC with 2007 on it. Judging from this, they decided that everyone should have it, since the Fisher Price theme is so pretty.
This is what happens when non-elected officials have any sort of real power.
To quote a now dead, but once very powerful man: "He who votes decides nothing. He who COUNTS the votes decides everything." It's charming to see people coming up with Open Source voting and other governmental tools, but extremely naive to think that they'll ever be implemented. Even if they make their way into governmental dialog, they'll be co-opted by Diebold, et.al. in the 11th hour before any policy is changed.

This is the most retarded thing I've heard in a week.

Improvements to Wordpad? A milestone! Where can I download this masterpiece?
YHBT. YHL. HAND.
Guess how irrelevant your toy code is.

Perhaps, after 6 years, MS realized it had achieved font lock-in?
It seems to me, if you give something out, then its out, and not yours to later revoke.
btw, the submission is verbatim cut from the source article, nice job 'editting'.

IPv4 works, leave it. The numbers can be kept in your head. Subnet math is easy. It's already ubiquitous.
I work for $LARGE_US_BANK, and our entire infrastructure is v4, and not once have I ever heard, EVER, of talk to move to v6.
If you're a backbone provider and are in routing table hell, deal with it another way. Tunnel, buy bigger routers, do something.
Anyone else remember that old arcade football game, where the trackball was the size of a bowling ball?

Um, hello, while this may deserve the 'neat' tag, it's hardly newsworthy.
People are consolidating lightly (and heavily!) used servers into VMs all over the place.
35 MPG is horrible. If you're going to absorb the huge expense of a brand new car, at least get a diesel VW, and make 50 MPG.

Plus, you get the smug satisfaction of being a pedantic, arrogant douche. How do I join your club?
You're gay.
As the owner of a WRT54G and NSLU2, I can run my entire home network on 2 linux servers consuming, together, under 20 watts.
Will the Cisco-ification of Linksys stop this from happening in the future?
-1, Troll.
You must be new here.
And a douche for Hillary?
