umm. you are kind of correct. two scenarios:
1. A stream of data being pumped via UDP over a WAN which has a satellite link bang in the middle of it. Very high latency i.e. the bits take >600ms to get to the other end, but data can be sent at "wire speed" as there is no acknowledgement of each packet required == potentially massive bandwidth.
2. A large file being FTPed over the same WAN link. FTP typically runs over TCP/IP. TCP requires acknowledgement of each packet being sent. TCP (wrongly) interprets the long Round Trip Time i.e. >1200ms as link congestion and lowers the transmission rate. Oops !
Browser buttons are Javascript. Writing Javascript to work with all the different browsers does not impress me. It did not significantly increase their coding, documentation, or QA time to support Macs in addition to PCs.
for sure, but well written code implemented in a *reasonably* platform independant language will not increase coding, documentation, or QA time. There will be a small overhead in releasing the code to each new platform, that's all.
I will be completely shocked if Google releases executables for Linux or Mac OS.
I have 45Gbytes of *index* (Verity K2) which I'd like to have in RAM, but I only have 8Gbytes of RAM. This device would speed things up a bit I think !

You should not be so cynical. The BBC is the world's leading broadcaster and this is definitely going to happen, the trial is to look at the specific technologies involved, the beeb already knows this is feasible. Ashley Highfield gave a very interesting interview to padContent.org a while back, the most telling quote from which, for me, was "We need to help consumers leap-frog the illegal downloading issues that have wrecked havoc on the music industry."
the bbc already has a thing for the latest news, at reasonable quality. news.bbc.org.uk
The iMP project is not purely for news output, but for all BBC TV output; it's going to be available to UK broadband users only - people outside the UK will be able to continue to use the news and BBCi services as now.

The most significant revelations were concerning the protection of the content. All content will be DRM'd, only available for a limited period time, once downloaded. As expected, it will also only be available to UK broadband users. In a break with the BBC's long-standing support of Real, Microsoft DRM will be used for the technical trial, but it appears that no final decision has been made.
As was known previously, the EPG (Electronic Programming Guide) will cover fourteen days; seven looking forward and seven backward. The programs that have been broadcasted will be downloadable to the computer simply by clicking on them. A preview of a piece can be watched before committing to download a complete show.
from the article: With two dyes, "we have four different ways to write and then read on a single spot," Kumacheva says: no dye, dye one, dye two, and both dyes together. Three dyes offer eight (23) variations, and so on.

hehe. On a similar note -
The team at Scripps tested the virus on rats by injecting it into their noses twice a day for three days.

RSSOwl - http://rssowl.sourceforge.net/ is pretty good.
of course, science fiction never fortells the future now, does it...
Havent seen much IBM Power4 and Power5 boxes, have you?

You write "classified" on the floppy disk - that should be enough warning to people to not steal it, right ? Jeez..
*all* tabbed browsers do this already.

Is it possible to just use lilo instead of grub, to get round the problem ?
I believe a colleague has had some success installing core 2 on a Sony Vaio laptop - this is about the hightest recommendation for *any* distro ,-}

I think you probably will
.. and Blog This.
I'm starting to think you're on shaky ground now..
.. and Browser Buttons.
Your point is now slightly weakened, I feel, due to the desktop nature of browser buttons.
Google Web APIs
but i think your point stands.
