OK, but if I write a text file, and save it on my tablet, there's no way Google can read that text file, right? If that's the case, gaygirlie's assertion that google has all my data is false. I think we're only having this discussion because gaygirlie said something stupid.
Really? I haven't used android, so this may be a stupid question. Is everything stored in the cloud? Are android tablets just completely unusable without a network connection?
This is modded flamebait, but it's pretty close to the truth. Investors in Fox have to know that they're not investing in a journalistic enterprise. They're investing in propaganda for profit. If they replace Murdoch (big if), expect someone just even worse to replace him.
I remember reading that you could use Shannon's juggling theorem to calculate how much data is stored on the wire at any given time. Instead of balls, hands, and flight time, you're looking at packets, routers, and latency, but the calculation is pretty much the same.
IPv6 could easily run short of address space if we're careless with the bits. 128 bits is not much if they're parceled out in ways similar to IPv4.
Nonsense. IPv6 provides enough addresses that each person on earth could have their own IPv4 internet, which would only account for only about.000000000000000005% of the available addresses.
Because commercial distros are expected to ship with a pretty GUI to appease the marketroids. They have to pick one to go with by default, and that one gets elevated among the rest. Distros like debian, arch, slackware, etc, which don't install a GUI by default make it much easier to choose your own desktop, but it's more work up front to get to a pretty GUI.
There's nothing stopping you from installing ratpoison on Ubuntu or what have you. Just get rid of [x|k|g]dm, and put ratpoison in your ~/.xinitrc.
Almost certainly never. Transporters are big proteins that have to be folded correctly and inserted into the membrane and trafficked to the right place on the neuron. The pharmacology involved in getting an exogenous transporter into the right places just boggles the mind. Can't be done.
Now using the DNA that encodes the long form of this protein, that might be thereputically valuable.
I'd really like to see a NoScript like system worked into an HTTP proxy. Privoxy can replace Adblock, we need something like that for NoScript. That way it wouldn't matter what browser you use.
I think some people are too quick to write off the publishing industry. They still provide things you won't find on Amazon, such as EDITORS.
Editors are important, but you don't need to sign with a publishing house to get your book edited. There's nothing stopping you from hiring a freelance editor and publishing on Amazon if you think it's necessary.
In the end, I think the market will make the decision here. If publishers add value, then readers will stick with traditional publishers. If they don't, then Amazon will win.
How much power is generated by the system? What is the efficiency? If science writers aren't going to include this kind of information in their articles, they could at least include a reference to the original paper for those of us who are interested.
Capsaicin is in fact a neurotoxin. Prolonged exposure to it leads to excessive Ca++ influx, and excitoxicity. Of couse, we're talking about capsaicin applied directly to neurons in a dish here, how physiologically relevant this is is debatable.
Some people actually enjoy spicy food, it is not about toughness at all.
Liking spicy food isn't about toughness at all, no. But whining about spicy food is definitely related to wimpiness. Especially if you're whining about the spiciness of other people's food.

It's enormously well-known that being a female actress and somewhat older is highly correlated with having fewer parts available.

Ah, it's been a while since I misinterpeted sarcasm on the internet. Guess it'll always happen once in a while. Apologies if I offended.
I just can't wait until Intel gets to Z80.

Ok, so why did the GP assert that google already has access to your data. If it's locally stored, how does google have access to it?

If Google provided full disk encryption, would you trust it?
I have put together a list of websites guaranteed to contain no crap. Here it is:
Never mind, I should RTFA. For the rest of us who didn't: encrypted.google.com.
So I have to sign up with google and let them track me, or they'll divulge my searches to websites who will track me?
8-bit audio sounds like crap. Can you even decode MP3s on an 8-bit processor?

Wish I could find that article.
Using Debian remnds you of all the little papercuts that Ubuntu takes care of.
Using Ubuntu reminds you of all the doors they plastered over.
Also, setting up any sort of wifi on Debian feels like having a little RMS on your shoulder lecturing you
Have you tried wicd?

Compare Southern Baptist services with Lutheran and you tell me.
Publishers serve another important function: they filter out the crap.
We can crowd source that.
