As with any Google Apps story around here, the old saying, "You get what you pay for" applies. If you want complete control, pay for one of them there Google Apps-in-a-box devices. Of course, a Google sales rep, lawyer, etc will be able to answer all these sort of questions. I'm sure someone, somewhere has asked them before.
I have a webdav mount where my files live. That right there is what will catch a vast majority of Google's users. They don't want to, or don't have the resources, to set up something like that. Google Apps are very simple. Sign up and you're ready to go. Go to a friend's house, log in, and you've got your stuff. That works for the vast, vast majority of people out there.
I see your problem, you're using Firefox. That's what's eating your RAM, sir. Google spreadsheet in Chrome: 33MB.
Running apps from your desktop adds another layer in your file storage. If you leave your desk, you have to bring your files with you to use them.
It's a trade-off. Desktop apps have their purpose, web apps do as well. Find what suits YOUR needs and use the best choice. No one is forcing you to go one way or another, you are free to keep Excel, Word, etc. Calm down. Breathe.
There. All is better.

You may want to keep an eye on the offical page for the Google Wave Federation Protocol.
The real question will be just how much of a "debate" there will be allowed to be, or will it be the "There's no time to read it, just pass the bill!" emergency we've seen all this year from Congressional democrats. I guess we'll have to wait until Wednesday when Charlie Gibson will ask the tough questions of Obama, right?
Doctor A is a good liver transplanter, say, 50% are still alive after five years. Doctor B is the best in the country, and 80% are alive after five years. In the current system, Doctor B charges more than A. So, if everyone should get the same level of care, should Doctor B lower his techniques to be on par with A, or should Doctor B be the sole provider for the country and just accept whatever payment the government deems his services should be worth?
This is the Internets. We'd rather believe all those sort of writings were confiscated and hidden by secret organizations like the Illuminati. Information needs to be free!
They really need to add some more buttons to the Xbox/PS controllers to be usable to me. Until then, they are nothing but cheap knockoffs for keyboards. A keyboard has what, 100+ keys? Then you add in Shift/Ctrl/Alt modifiers, and that gives you like 5000 combinations. Give me a 5000 button controller, and maybe then I'll think about buying an Xbox, Playstation.
And don't tell me I should conform to how Sony and Microsoft say a gamer should play games. I'll play them the way I want, or ELSE!! That'll show them. The customer is always right and all that jazz, ya know.
The author states he only watched 20 out of the 80 minute presentation. Thus his whole post ends up being a bunch of pointless nitpicking.
But at least the article does follow the There-Can-Be-Only-One mantra of Slashdotism. This will, after all, replace all email, IM, mailing lists, forums, documents, etc. You will not be able to do anything else once Wave launches later this year.
I don't like that every game is forcing the player to use movement or aiming. Only the games by lazy developers "force" the player to use the wiimote like that. Plenty of games work with Gamecube controllers, the Classic Controller, etc.
Then again, some games, it just doesn't make sense to use an old-fashioned controller. Take Boom Blox. You point where you want to go, flick the remote, and kablam! It works just. To use a regular controller is stupid, move a crosshair around the screen with the joystick, add some power meters, etc.
I guess the lesson here is you can't make such broad generalizations. Controllers work great in some games (Smash Bros), and the Wiimote works best in others.
The problem is expecting Wii Sports to be anywhere close to a sports sim. It's a party game, to goof around with friends/family. On the other hand, I hear very good things about Tiger Woods 09. Then again, 10 is due out real soon. With the Motion Plus addon, all the previews for 10 are nothing but great (for beginners or expert golfists).
... but stem cells do cure everything! I saw it on the news (more or less)!! I hope and pray to AlGore that one day they can find a way to use stem cells to solve the coming ice age, er, global warming, er, climate change, or whatever it becomes next. Then peace will fall upon all the universe.
Get with the times. "Hardcore" means it must be in the highest definition, have the most textures, polygons, blood splatter, be an FPS, etc. Anything less is a shame on video games everywhere. Socializing can only consist of yelling and cursing into a headset in my mother's basement, not getting together with other humans in the same room.
Four year olds must only be able to play Halo, Gears of War, or else I will feel shame!! Raarrgh!!!!!@@!!
"impossible to be bad plant?" Last year one of these windmill things had one of it's ~30 foot fins break off. I didn't realize they were that big. Do you realize how many ipods, libraries of congress, or children could be hurt by one of these things?
So, you're saying that Open Source apps have to wait for someone to fix it, meanwhile cloudies have to wait for someone to fix it? Ah, I see. Don't trust the man!
Why do you think he would be let off one way or another? Because he's rich, a Republican? Living in Illinois, I can tell you rich politicians, Republicans, Democrats all do time. Look for another one to go in the coming months.
Yeah, like the FBI's computer nerds are really going to be the ones to go out and bust down doors at your favorite meth lab if they weren't working on this case. Just like moving NASA scientists to medical research won't get a cure for cancer/aids any faster, forcing KDE devs to just work on Gnome won't do anything, etc. This is what their computer crimes division does.

Have it in Alaska and call it Freezing Man. You might even get Sarah Palin to come out.

because that would require ratifying by the people, and they cannot be trusted to vote for the correct option.

give or take 30-50k, but ya, they'll all be home. that's so much better than Bush's 2011 projected pull out date.

So the nucular plant puts out 58 times as much power for the same cost, it's basically the same, though...

Bigotry is acceptable when one truly believes they are on the correct side, here.

It's quite simply one word: Hope.
