I haven't noticed that at all. Just torrent them if you can't get them from the main download servers. There are always at least a dozen seeds for even the older versions of distros.
90% of people cannot do this. "easy to find" is relative. Just because you or I can do it does not mean that everyone can. There are still people who call in customer service to say their cupholder is broken. Quite a few of them actually.
Wow, sounds like we've got a firefox fanboy here. I've actually never met one before. Who are you to comment on how a program is affecting someone else's computer? You have no idea of the setup (aside from the 4 GB of ram), and no idea even what operating system is installed. But you first say ram is meant to be used, as if the browser is the only program running on the system, and then simply deny the fact. I personally have seen firefox use much more than 2 GB of ram during normal usage (though normal for me tends to be more like 20 tabs). It's a horrible memory hog, and simply asserting "no it isn't go bury your head in the sand" is not going to make that change.
I think (and I haven't read TFA so I may be wrong) the whole point of cooling the ram is to get access to the password hashes so that one can login to the machine. Though honestly if you can get the ram why not just take out the hard drive and get the data from that?
One of my friends already does this.... To other people. So far I've been tagged as a picture of a giant ugly baby statue, an earthworm, a shark, a pair of dice...
I wonder what Facebook thinks when it tries to auto-tag me?
More than one man. I imagine that any organization with the money to actually pay for something like this could afford a crew of a few dozen to maintain it.
IBM Research Almaden, California, has developed hardware and software technologies that will allow it to strap together 200,000 hard drives to create a single storage cluster of 120 petabytes
I am willing to bet that part of that special hardware is something that is quite a bit more robust and powerful than a consumer grade "raid chipset"

I highly doubt they'd even consider that to be proper motivation.
It's four propellers moving very fast and sounding like 1,000 angry bees. A quadcopter is probably one of the scariest sounds in the world.
Quadcopters have their place, they're small, stealthy and fun, but I don't think they make a good daily delivery system.
It sounds like 1,000 angry bees but is stealthy? I'm not sure you can do both.
Why is that what the community needs? Not trolling, genuinely curious as to why you would say that.
You got your website mentioned in Opera release notes? That's pretty cool actually, even though it was for a bug.
And it was STILL better than IE 4.

No, the computer first sends all that "unused" ram to the paging file, THEN releases it. That takes quite a bit of time.

I think that was a pre-determined outcome. What remains to be seen is if they will actually make it into space before they are killed.
Naw he's clearly Commander material.
This is slashdot. There will always be someone who will do as you described.
Then you would use this: http://fingerprint-usb-review.toptenreviews.com/kanguru-bio-aes-review.html
or rather one that worked on more systems than windows. I know there's one out there but I can't find it anymore.
You don't live in the US do you?
I honestly can't see the difference between the two, aside from one is more polite than the other.

Too much work for not a large enough audience (or rather not a loud enough audience who pays money)
Only because the gods got there first
This calls for an episode of Mythbusters!
That's true. Hopefully they have redundant control systems as well.

The second paragraph of parent is stupid, yes, but the first has some merit.
Oh, I see. That does make sense. Well at least while he's walking to the neighbor's house he can charge his phone with these shoes.
