Not exactly what you're looking for, but there is a subscription model for Photoshop - $50/mo. Not sure how well it handles a month here and a month there rather than a continuous subscription.
The last place I worked had an issue like this. We switched ISPs and found that two of the four new IPs assigned to us were blocked by a number of other ISPs and services for spamming. That took a few weeks to get it mostly straightened out, although we were still on some block lists six months later when I left. A friend of mine found that his newly registered domain name was blocked by a lot of places for spam as well, seems the previous owner of the domain may have been Russian...
This has been the main reason people complain about Opera - sites redirect Opera users to a page bitching to download IE or Firefox without giving the option to proceed with Opera. It's easy to circumvent, but still very annoying. I'm fine with sites that give you the warning that it hasn't been tested in your browser as long as there's an option to "Proceed Anyway".
I haven't had any issues with IE8 or IE9 that isn't present in any of the other major browsers. Even IE7 was decent when it first came out. It's not my browser of choice, but it competes with Chrome for the #2 spot. No browser is "superior in every single way" - each one has its strengths and weaknesses. I prefer Opera for the bulk of my day-to-day browsing, IE for certain types of interactive content and Chrome for speed on media-heavy sites (mostly Netflix and Pandora). I only have Firefox and Safari installed for testing my websites and they get no use otherwise.
Yeah, that got fixed a while ago when websites started complying with standards. Now Opera works with pretty much every site except those few that detect which browser you're using and tell you to go use IE/Fx/Chrome/Safari. Of course, it's only about two clicks to get around it.
You may want to check your math... at $0.01/GB, a 1TB drive would be $10... and I'm still not seeing them cheaper than $70 on sale. Most of them are around 6 to 12 cents per gig.
I really don't see the cost of SSD's dropping to 1/10th of their current price (the price point at which they're comparable to hard disks) in 7 months. 7 years is much more likely when you consider hard drives are also getting larger and cheaper at the same time. Oh, there's also the fact that cheaper SSDs still seem to have a relatively poor MTBF and don't deliver the performance gains that most people associate with SSDs... have to pay a bit more for a *good* SSD
Yeah... and they also recently announced hard drives that could be as big as 60PB (yes, PB, not TB) within 4 years. A bit more of a jump over current hard drives than your mentioned SDXC is over current solid state capacity.
Haven't they been saying that for a few decades now? Rotational media will be around for a long time to come, barring any real shattering breakthroughs in solid state media. Some markets, such as laptops and workstations which value speed over capacity, will likely transition to SSDs being the norm within the next 5 years or so, but when you need a lot of storage you'll still turn to hard drives for at least another decade or two. Given that hard drive technology is still having breakthroughs, it will be some time before SSDs can catch up in overall capacity, nevermind price per GB/TB.
There's plenty of commercial entities that receive huge gobs of money from the government - especially if it's an enterprise that will likely have a lot of public benefit like power plants, telcom fiber, etc.
Google and Bing give wildly different results on many different topics, including topics that both companies are disinterested/uninterested parties. Not to say they aren't skewing the results of some hot topics, just that different results are to be expected for almost anything.
Yes and no - we have been running out, but we also haven't been sitting idly by while that happens. Stuff like NAT has become far more common, which takes the pressure off for a little while. It's not too different from the whole oil crisis - we have a limited amount, but new technologies and recycling techniques can extend the date where it's finally completely exhausted.
The politicians themselves.... it's a "let's protect the children" issue, so the voters keep them in office. Re-elections are one of the few things politicians do without a direct money trail being involved... because staying in power is what keeps all of the rest of the money coming in.
It sounds like they'll be holding the owners of the sites (whom are generally not anonymous) responsible if they don't delete all anonymous posts. This affects sites hosted in NY - they really don't care where the poster is located.
This is why children generally shouldn't be online unsupervised any more than they should be wandering the town unsupervised. By the time they're old enough to do that, they're usually old enough to cope with a little cyber bullying.
Having been to Albany to talk to state legislators a few times, they are mostly idiots. There's a few of them wouldn't even give us a meeting unless they knew we were bringing "a gift." That said, not all of them are idiots. I've gone to a baseball game or two with one of the reps from where I grew up... unfortunately, the smart ones usually stay away from technology issues simply because they know that they don't know enough to make any laws about it.
Also, I didn't know laws of nature needed to be written down to be in effect. If we burn every book mentioning gravity, maybe we can get flying cars fast!
If there's one thing New York is good at, it's driving away businesses. I've watched cities around the state raise commercial taxes claiming it will bring in businesses, vote down major infrastructure improvements because it would "hurt businesses" and try to turn already clogged five lane avenues into two lane streets to "force people to slow down so they will see all of the businesses along that road".

You obviously haven't spent much time on Slashdot or Facebook.

But 64 complaints is the same as a counter going from 0 to 63. To make it human readable, you'd just add 1 to the value of the counter.
Your post gives me implied consent to sleep with your sister and your girlfriend.
They've actually received several million complaints, but only had a 6 bit counter.

The difference between Unite and Facebook, other than privacy, is that Unite is useful.

It's quite a bit harder to hack into food and control you. It's also a lot easier to revert to your previous state...just change diet.

Am I sitting in a tin can
Far above the world
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do
