I think you misunderstand, unless the post was written wrong.
From grandparent post: "When I buy a chip marked 2600 or 2200, I expect 2600 or 2200 MHz, not some fucking stupid performance rating like Cyrix used back in the day."
The "+" rating is much like the PR system, but was more accurate in general in relation to the Intel than Cyrix was.
Whoops, I geuss that cancels the ability to electronically ID a fraudulent chip. I don't know what Intel does, if they have some sort of write-once area of the chip to identify what the chip originally sold as.
The developer seems to be creating isolation from other people by "eating, sleeping, and drinking Java". I hope there is showering in this regimen, and not involving Java.
I didn't understand that either. I don't see any problem with Fox News having a conservative bias, though I do have a problem when they do try to subvert the facts.
Other media outlets claim to be unbiased, but when something like 85% of them are Democrats, I would expect them to be biased that way anyway. I believe every individual's biases color what they see and what they believe, only a very few people operate in a manner that is truly unbiased.
If you go with the original intent of the Betamax ruling, VCRs were allowed because they usually weren't bought with the entent to build libraries of copied material, but rather to allow time-shifting.
With the digital recording and Internet retransmission, those copies can be distributed much farther than what fair use intended. Computers also multitask, and download video much faster than real time too. VHS was almost always a 1:1 copy, and nothing else could be done while the deck was in operation.

The problem with this is that the two most common broadband systems were never designed for upstream data. DSL was originally designed for TV on demand, which didn't need it much. Asking a single copper twisted pair to handle such a data demand both ways over long distances is a bit much. I don't think cable was originally designed for upstream transmissions in the first place.
Power over Ethernet meets VoIP Phones stay up, until the UPS dies.
Not a bad idea, but PoE is somewhat more expensive. $12-15 just for a passive system, $40 for an active true-PoE system.
The phone line output should already power remote phones, just stick the VoIP box where the UPS is and tap into the house's phone cabling from there. A bigger question to me will be what happens when the internet goes down.
Applied science involves research dedicated to solving a particular problem.
Pure science seeks knowledge of the universe for its own sake, from the subatamic to the universe and beyond. It doesn't always have a direct impact in our day-to-day lives but it helps mankind's understanding of the universe. The times humanity is directly helped in a "practical" problem, it takes longer than applied science to get there.
It probably isn't for you. If you need to do a lot of sketching, layout, or if you need to enter data while walking, then tablets are ideal. I think a tablet would be a nice improvement over a conventional laptop's built-in pointing devices. I bought a Bluetooth mouse because I hated the finger wagger and the eraser in my laptop.
I really don't understand what laptops or desktops have to do with either.
Wireless is a half-duplex shared medium. Wireless speeds aren't anywhere near wired speeds. If you want to mention wireless 108Mbps, remember that the actual link speed is about 40Mbps at best. If you havehousemates sharing a cable modem account and not sharing files between each other, "g" is fine. Otherwise, if you are moving a lot of files between computers, you'll want to wire them up if you can.
Your post seems contradictory, but I really can't tell for sure. I don't believe that P2P and fair use are compatible concepts, I've seen nothing that suggests that giving copies to other people is legal fair use.
Valve? Well, in an age where distributing infringing copies of videos obtained in shady ways, I don't see how the Valve incident can be considered distinct and subject to a different set of ethics.
You forgot the seemingly constant maintainance that goes with maintaining a gaming PC. Also, don't get the latest PC game until the first set of patches come out.
That's a lot. I wonder why there isn't an uproar about this, as it is not covered on the box or sales literature. I can take dead pixels more than stuck but ten pixels of either on a 17" display is a lot.
Which is kind of funny, I wonder if it would make DRM less palatable to the general public if it can be subverted to corrupt people's computers like this.
I *want* to be able to connect to any of my home machines from work, and vice-versa (firewall permitting). I would *love* to have my own block of portable address space for me to do with as I please.
IPs were never meant to be portable. Making it portable really messes up routing. This is why you set up DNS so you can name each device. I have a DHCP server that gives out IPs based on MAC addresses so all I have to remember is a name, not a long number (IPv6 numbers are a lot longer too).
Wasn't the AMD 486 basically the same design? For a while Intel had to licence out the chip designs so they can supply the military. Around the 486 time, Intel decided to leave that market and quit the licencing.
I turned it off that baloon by using Spybot Search & Destroy. It has some handy tools in the Advanced mode, so you can disable start-up crap. There's no reason to manually go into the registry to do that anymore.
What the hell resolution is that? 1080p in widescreen is 1920x1080. If it were 4:3, that would be 1440x1080. Besides, Microsoft's WMV-HD is usually encoded as 720p and 1080p, I haven't seen anything about their encodes being 1080i, although it is trivial to output 1080i if you have 1080p frames.

I think the difference is spreading radioactive material should containment be breached.
Cars don't use much if any, radioactive material.
And amazingly, neither site bothers to explain the silly name (Flicker) or the totally retarded name (del.icio.us).
That title alone suggests it is more pompous than the slashdot submission.

It seemed to be an odd diatribe anyway.

For one, does it work? Is it resilient from crashing or breakdowns? If it breaks, is it easy to fix? Is it easy to set up? Does it fill a basic need?

First, this gets into pure and applied science.

Being able to remember everything has its downsides too. It is relatively basic psychology, where it is healthy to forget things to an extent.
There are memory techniques, it's not easy, but easy is too much to expect, otherwise, I bet there would be problems with that too.
