You might not see SPAM in your inbox, but it's definitely included in what you pay your ISP (unless they don't do e-mail at all). There's not a specific "SPAM costs" item, but it's in there.
Solved? When I look into my gmail's spam folder, it gets tons of SPAM every day. Sure, I don't see it, but it's still costing Google in bandwidth. It'll be solved when it's not taking up any bandwidth and CPU time on any servers.
Get with the Times, Man! Today it's Hip to capitalize random Words. It means that Word is more Important than the rest. Or that the Writer didn't ProofRead his Work before posting it.
Nevermind the cost; consider the time spent entering each message. Assuming conservatively 10 seconds per message, that's over 16.5 hours for that month.
The difference is that a gasoline tax gives individuals a much bigger incentive to reduce use, and the funding level for gasoline-related government activities is based entirely on gasoline usage, rather than what politicians decide.
'So, in the light of this, particle "spin" isn't about an electron actually spinning, and thus "angular momentum" as seen in the article text, so that's pretty hilarious replacement.'
I offer "angular momentum enhancement" as a politically-correct alternative to "spin control".
I hadn't thought of it like that. I'm only a customer to the business I buy things from, not to the original producer. On the other hand, the distributor virtually always sells the product without modifications, and the original producer doing things that piss the distributor's customer off will piss the distributor off too, so it's in their interest to treat the listener as the customer.
I've had enough with this generic term "consumer". In this case, "listener" or "audio enthusiast" would be more descriptive and suggestive of a person on the receiving end. In other contexts, "customer" and "buyer" are improvements.
"Unfortunately, there's no way to punch someone in the face over the net." Wait, I thought those online games were full of violence. I've heard people get raped and even murdered in them. At least people have suggested laws against that, so someone must getting hurt.
Therefore, to calculate the real number of bytes(2), you divide the operating system's megabyte value by 2.0755. To convert that to bytes(1), multiply by 9434. Finally, to convert this to MiB, multiply by 1.049. Simply as 3.14159.
What usually draws my attention is the grammatical mistake of saying "nude photograph", when they really mean "photograph of a nude". A nude photograph is simply one lacking any covering. A covered photograph is one inside a closed photo album, for example, which isn't very good if you're trying to look at it.
"AMD, which introduced 64-bit CPUs early -- much to the derision of Intel, which said there was no use for them at the time -- must be delighted with Microsoft's decision."
Sentence does not parse. There's no matching comma for the first. Moral: if you're going to get fancy with sentences, do it right.
Yep. At exactly 1/2 sampling rate, you can only accurately represent a signal of one particular phase. Any other phase results in an apparent amplitude reduction, to the point where 180 degrees around the amplitude comes out as zero. Any frequency just a hair lower than this can be accurately represented, since the sinc reconstruction function will recover the phase and amplitude in the long run (though for practical windowed sinc reconstruction, the maximum frequency must be more than a hair lower).
I'd say grandparent post is attempting to allay fear, uncertainty, and doubt, by offering certainty that Microsoft's claims are FUD. Really now, FUD doesn't mean "bad", it means something specific.
In response to claims that it is too good for its own good, Google is voluntarily scaling back its search engine to version 1.0. This move will allow other search engines to gain a larger share of the search market, and end Google's monopolistic practice of making a good product that makes rational people unable to avoid using. Even though users will have to accept this step backwards in search quality, this is necessary to make it a more even playing field for other companies. Google is also providing a search engine randomizer to further avoid any one engine becoming too dominant.

Just some free advice: capitalize the first letter of your sentences and more people will read your posts.

How about "pretextware"?

I guess that walk to the car and back each day was keeping them slim.

"Whilst saying that last bit, they show a clip from a dodgy in-cinema cam job where somebody stands up in front of the camera.
What they fail to realise is that people do that in the cinema!"
Oh, so you don't have X-ray vision? Pity.
"PowerTOP gives a snapshot of what apps are consuming the most power."
Cool, now we'll see things like "New Notepad-lite with reduced power usage!" Maybe "new, less-bloated app" won't be far off. I can dream.

Especially since it was a woman applying for the position.

Current copyright terms are already punishment enough... to everyone.

It'd need a supplemental warning label too:
"Warning: You might not have one either"
