Hardly any; your annual bandwidth quota would get exceded in a very short amount of time. Assuming your server could handle the traffic more than a few seconds. Any idea how many people read their mail from hotmail every day?
Why is this so hard? My calculator can increment by 1 for a heck of a long time with total stability. Is electronic voting screwed up for real technical reasons or for some behind the scenes scheming/politicing/pointyhairs?
Scrap the "Patriot Act" and replace it with the otherwise identical "Terrorism Surveillance Act". The problem here is that this bill could be about anything and some people will violently defend it because the name implies opposition equates non-patriotism. Others will fight it just as vehemently just because they hate being cornered into someone else's definition of patriotism. See other postings in this forum for examples.
This bill is nothing about patriotism (which cannot be legislated except maybe in Soviet Russia, Communist China, etc) but is instead about expanded law enforcement powers concerning terrorism detection and prevention. So let's rename the thing to something that actually describes what it is about and get on with rational debate about its actual provisions instead of getting all in a bother over the emotions tied up in the name.
Just to play devil's advocate: Since PDAs can be had with 75Mhz ARM CPUs and much more memory, what makes this dedicated device better? Given the magins in hardware manufacturing, wouldn't HP be better off writing PDA software to do all of these functions?
First MANNED try. There have already been four launches of the same model vehicle unmanned. Compare this with the US only launching two Gemini (Titan II) unmanned before strapping Gus Grissom inside the third.
Malaysia is calling for interested applicants... to be its first cosmonaut... prior space exploration experience is a definite plus... Offer is for Malaysians only
This is like a recent help wanted ad demanding at least six years of experience for a Windows 2000 Data Center admin.
Does a USB mouse need to be able to transmit data in excess of 400mbit/sec?
Not at first glance, but while a mouse by itself does not need this kind of bandwidth sustained other devices on the same chain just might. So if the mouse gets what little info it has to send out of the way 40 times faster then that just clears up the bus more quickly and lets the higher speed devices back in the action faster.
This is a tricky sentence and I'm not sure how to parse it. I am sure that there are three things that can cause the problem. But what exactly are those three things? Me thinks it goes like this:
This can happen if the rider: 1. speeds up abruptly, 2. encounters an obstacle, or 3. continues to ride ...after receiving a low-battery alert.
Now this would explain the problem. The question is the whether the last item is "continues to ride" or "continues to ride after receiving a low-battery alert".
So they "resurrected" an old, old plant from the few remaining survivors
You can't resurrect something that's not dead yet. I suppose you're also against releasing captive-bred eagles, pandas, condors, and [insert endangered species here]?
Well about 3 times per week some user brings in a laptop, plugs it in to the LAN, and we get some new worm running around the office LAN
This shouldn't be too hard to prevent... Have your DHCP only hand out addresses to known MACs, unknown MACs get a different logical subnet, all traffic between subnets gets run through a machine whose job is to filter aggressively on the assumption it's from a worm-infected laptop.
I bet the RIAA will be back with a vengeance once they "discover" that granny had a haxx0red version of Kazaa able to run on the Macintosh
While funny, this is completely true. Here are the relevant three paragraphs from the article indicating the RIAA is ready and waiting to do exactly that:
Moreover, Ward uses a Macintosh computer at home. Kazaa runs only on Windows-based personal computers.
Beeler complained to the RIAA, demanding an apology and "dismissal with prejudice" of the lawsuit, which would prohibit future lawsuits against her. Foley Hoag, the Boston firm representing the record labels, on Friday dropped the case, but without prejudice.
"Please note, however, that we will continue our review of the issues you raised and we reserve the right to refile the complaint against Mrs. Ward if and when circumstances warrant," Colin J. Zick, the Foley Hoag lawyer, wrote to Beeler.
See, they're ready to refile at any moment against this grandmother for using Kazaa with her Mac.
Then you haven't configured the thing properly. I used a 386DX-20 as a firewall for a cable modem for a couple of years and it had no problem with >1024kbps.
"The average car we buy has less than 1000 miles on it"
I'm amazed that cars originally selling in 1988 for almost 200k$US are up for sale with less than 1,000 miles on them. By all accounts, these are fine machines and perfectly roadworthy. So just why did people shell out for them in the first place? If you can afford such a car, you should be able to afford to drive it more than 1,000 miles all this time!
That's because you fly commercial like me, prole. OTOH, Gulfstreams and other long range bizjets cruise in the 50k' range. Check out 'specifications' at thus URL: http://www.gulfstream.com/g550/ And while the Concorde ends its flight at 60K, it starts at 50 and gradually climbs as the weight of used fuel is lost. So not only is it ripping along at high speed but also constantly changing altitude. Not the kind of wild behavior you want over the continental US where there are a lot of the aforementioned bizjets puttering around at less than half the speed.

Great, for only $9.5 mil you can be a tall fellow in a bunny suit...
you know how many hits I wouldn't gotten?!

Worryingly, no one in the UK could deal with the matter so it was up to the US to sort things out.
Nobody in MS's UK division has the authority to reimburse $35?!?! Now that's what I call some serious centralized cash management!

DARPA should have to chose the 20 cheapest financed teams.
Whoa there, this is government. The 20 most expensive to make should be in the final competition.

Are there any explanations for this large amount of activity at what should be a non-peak time?
These strong solar flares are from global warming because evil Bush not signing the Kyoto accord.
and gave complimentary box cutters to you upon entry to the plane
Agreed; I'd rather everyone got box cutters than only the sociopaths who smuggled their own.

For some stupid reason, the pink stripes on HDD and floppy ribbon cables are on different sides
No, you weren't paying attention. Pin #1 is always on the same side on both drive types; the side closest to the drive's power connector, that is.
This IS their first try
First MANNED try. There have already been four launches of the same model vehicle unmanned. Compare this with the US only launching two Gemini (Titan II) unmanned before strapping Gus Grissom inside the third.

$#%^ing HR...
Do aliens run SETI@home, also?
No, they run STI@home. I also run a simple version of STI@home in daily conversations.
399 for those trading up their current treo's
Cool, now I'll be able to afford a refurbed prior model.

That's the address of the US Court building, whose occupants are unlikely to take kindly to crank calls.

Speaking of which, it's obvious that capital "o" means off, but what the heck does the capital "i" stand for?

Methinks you're confusing acting talent with direction and script quality.
