If they are using electricty to run the servers, and somehow I think they are, they are causing pollution. It's called secondary or indirect pollution. I admit that it's probably not as drastic as building a house, but it's still there.
I've dealt with these guys. They are satisfied with what they're getting out of that type of system and will keep it till the power surge blows it away. Hell, I wouldn't be suprised if some of them checked Ebay for replacement hardware. I'm sure they know were they put those 5.25 floppies.
However, when the stupid malware companies realize that what they really need to do is be more like the true biologial parasite, then it may slow down. A RL parasite is benign to the host. If they wrote their code so that you never knew it was there, you would never know to complain now would you?

When Harlie was one was the first book that I recall about a computer that designed another more complex computer that only it could understand.
Maybe Harlie was a Linux cluster.

It's a great game and you never get the same play out of a round twice.

I remember seeing a previous /. article about using one from something like a 57 Buick.
All the more reason to develop the space elevator.

Here I was wondering what the RIAA was up to now.
That's what you get for not installing all the Exhange service packs.
At least not America, they couldn't afford the effort. Way too costly with that defecit they've got.
