I have a hard time caring about this. The default is download is Google. An alternate download site offers Bing. Either way, the default is easy to change, who cares?
Change is good. Embrace it.
You're exactly right... the power used by businesses far exceeds the amount used by even busy households. Corporate ACs in 20 story buildings use far more electricity than people running appliances at night in their homes. Peak will remain peak, and even in the worst case, 'smart' enough grids should be able to distribute the load across the 'down' cycle, instead of everything running at 2am on the dot.
Meh. 15k drives, multi drive arrays, there's no reason to overclock CPUs anymore, and there's no reason to overclock hard drives. More cores scales better than overclocking, and more spindles scales WAY better than overclocking.

Server has 8G ram, so some of that may be in cache, but certainly not all of it. Extrapolate as needed.
You may not be the intended audience. If you have to carry a bare bones phone because (for example) you have one provided by an employer, or you cant have a camera (security reasons), or you don't want to upgrade and lose your ancient awesome phone plan, carrying an mp3 player that also doubles as a browser / calendar / email client / GPS / everything else is convenient and awesome.
If you just want it to play music, it's way too expensive and a waste of money.
Personally, I put the blame less on fundamentalists and more on decreasing importance of education in the home.
There are dozens of examples (single mothers with multiple jobs and multiple kids who just don't have time to parent, illegal immigrants raising kids that accept no-skill jobs as manual labor as sufficient for a lifetime instead of working to get an education and work in a skilled field), but the basic problem is that kids don't believe that they need a real education to live.
4 coders ignores the fun parts defining requirements, assigning tasks, testing, QA, regression testing, all the fun things that the first group neglected that caused it to be unfinished.
Sometimes youngsters look at a task and go "That's easy, I could totally do that in 2-3 months". Then there are people who have done it who stand back and laugh at them for being naive.
Microsoft is becoming a bigger and bigger player by the day. I know one managed service provider who's pushing virtually every client onto MS Virtual Server whether they ask for it or not.
Virtualization is selling a LOT of units in the hosting industry, and as people realize how convenient it can be, it's moving to smaller shops
Shit like Virtuozzo / OpenVZ seems to get ignored because it's so hosting centric - there's a hell of a business model to be made in turning something like SW-Soft's VZ management suite into an enterprise product rather than a hosting-centric billing/support control panel.
Uh... considering the alternatives, I think they succeeded. If they didnt try to build the massive pyramids, they'd have been forgotten like, say, the millions of slaves who worked for them, who's bodies will never be found/identified at all.
It may take time for the west to identify these mummies, but at least they have a chance. Those without such wild resources have no chance.
Too much JS will break any browser. IE dies around the 300 comment mark for me (with 512M of memory on this particular machine, may be better for better equpped PCs)
Absolutely right. Virtually zero chance of any candidate knowing/caring about the hosting platform. At best, there's a 5% chance that someone in their campaign considered.NET v. PHP when hiring a web developer, and that decision pushed them towards their hosting platform of choice.
The volume in the article doesnt match your math, but you're basically correct. Most natural sea water has a specific gravity of about 1.024-1.025. You can drop it as low as 1.009 without any real damage to fish, but invertebrates die pretty quickly if you do that (great way to treat saltwater fish for parasites, the lower SG of freshwater causes osmotic shock and they die).
That's not really an easy fix... There are dozens of video sites with millions of videos each. Most ISPs dont have the resources to chache the number of distinct files were talking about.
10ge, 40ge, 100ge, the capacity will grow when the money makes sense. Even small video sites push terabytes of traffic per month, expecting a full caching model to work is almost silly. There's a certain benefit for a small set of large, popular files, but that's not what's causing the problem - its the sheer number of obscure files that may only appear in cache once a month...
They may have been able to do a post-infection audit to discover the programming techniques / callsigns (if the strings in the program are all in chinese, there's a good chance it's not a romanian hacker).

As long as they keep giving out free tablets to developers at GDC, they can delay it as long as they want.

Siemens hole has already been used to rape Iran (Stuxnet fun). Doesn't get much more rapey than that.

Because no vendor has ever said run iptables/ipchains/ipfw to prevent exploitation of a bug in Linux 2.0/2.2, Freebsd 4.x, etc, right?

If you just want it to play music, it's way too expensive and a waste of money.
Remember: not everyone just wants music.
If your bike cost you a couple hundred million dollars, you'd consider yourself a competitor too.

The problems with K-12 education go WAY BEYOND mathematics.

They're no more trapped than companies stuck with precompiled, third-party software/drivers for, say, RedHat 9 or Fedora Core 3.
Tis life, my friend.
Clearly, he forgot to turn quick quest text: on.
Tends to fall apart when 'foraging' in remote parts of Afghanistan, where they haven't ever seen a AA.
:D
Should work well in the pending invasion of Europe
But what do I know, I just do this for a living.

Wait until it's confirmed. This is the equivalent of an op-ed, not real news.
I started with Java, havent used it since :)
Of course, as beginner languages go, Java was great - fantastic for teaching OO fundamentals.

They may have been able to do a post-infection audit to discover the programming techniques / callsigns (if the strings in the program are all in chinese, there's a good chance it's not a romanian hacker).
Of course, there were other security issues in the very recent past that have much more impact on the average American, say, the discovery that the medicare system was wide open without even basic audit logs.
