"I mean come on the "users" are not the issue here"
You're right - it's not about users. The U.S.A is run for the people by the people. I'm happy when my voice actually gets heard. I did NOT write in as a user - I wrote as a citizen!
AWD cars generally get worse gas mileage because 4 tires are driving versus 1 or 2. At least with 4WD vehicles, the second set of tires is not in use unless it is needed. However, soccer Moms have no idea when 4WD is and is not needed. For some reason, most SUV owners think 4WD helps them stop. hahahahahaha
"What about simple page reloads because of browser hiccups? What about sites like Slashdot, where new content slowly encroaches upon old? What about archives? What about Akamai?"
And what about Server push? If you don't ask for updated content, should you pay for it???
"It should be noted though, that failing to include all inventors on your Patent application can be grounds rejecting the patent."
The inverse of this is also true. If you add people to your patent that did not contribute to the original invention, then the patent can be rejected. Other legal penalties apply to the filers (not sure what they are).
"that so many people think that [all|most] commercial software companies specifically leave or put bugs into products "
This is NOT what people think. It is a documented and proven business model that shipping software before it is cooked generates more revenue. Therefore, vendors do not leave or put in bugs, they just trim there QA time down so the product ships sooner. Ship the product now and have the users download a SP in a month.
Pascal was designed with simplicity as a design goal. That trade off is a lack of functionality. It is really only used as a teaching tool b/c of this.
C++ is a robust OO language.
Anyway, my rant is that you implied that C++ is a lower-level lang, when, in fact, it is considered a higher level lang.
Your point of Pascal being simplier to write is correct, however there is much (MUCH) less one can do with it.
IBM does make money from hardware. Find proof here. You call $8.7B not making money on hardware? Get a clue. Note, services made $8.7B also, which is not too much more than what they made in hardware (according to my back of the envelope calculations).
In large corps, they are trying to standardize the employees machines so that this will not be an issue. A canned image is placed on everyone's machines and most people do not have the know how to do "major damage".
If you get the static content out of the way more quickly, then more CPU time is avail. for dynamic processing. Current benchmarks suggest that content is stil 70% static.
The inverse of what you say is true. Only a site that serves ONLY dynamic pages will not benefit.
Chinese relaxation balls have been around for gawd knows how long and work the exact way you describe.
However, relaxation balls make a relaxing hum when you get them into a rythym.
Is THIS why/. requires its users to have cookies turned on even though they never transmit them to our browsers? No, I am not paranoid, but that would make sense.
>you shouldn't invest in a company which does things you believe are immoral, and you should always check to find out. This pretty well rules out mutual funds
And why is that? You can find out the companies and bonds that mutual funds invest in and perform the same type of morality check, can you not?
On another note, I disagree with your opinion. Invest in companies that make money - period.
>This is _not_ donations. How on Earth could buying ownership of a company be considered donations?
In other posts, many people said they would be happy donating. If people are going to donate, consider worthwile causes like cancer research, orphans, or the United Way. This is not meant to be a troll, but seriously people, F- mandrake - save a child.
I think the principal (PAL??? yeah, right) should have realized that extremely bright kids who spend too much time on the computer are going to take things very, very literally.
HUH? Can you explain this? too much time on the computer = taking things literally? I don't follow your logic.
The earth is round therefore cheese tastes good? ugh.
Putting "BSOD" in the title falls under this too. I concur this was bad form.
An aside, most of the crashes I have seen in Windows are from non-Microsoft drivers. Iff the crash was in Windows, whose fault was it? If the driver that crashed was nasa.sys, then maybe their engineers accessed pageable mem at an elevated IRQ or something.
no, I'm not trolling...I am quite serious.
Using the appropriate algorithm, this isn't really a problem either. For example, pick your favorite tree (Red-Blacks becase they are fun to implement) and you have a lg n search. 200,000 routing entries have a search of 18 compares on average and 36 worst case (RB-tree). Hundreds of thousands of routing entries now takes very little time to search.

Jeeps are NOT SUVs and SUVs are NOT Jeeps.
It's a flat file with HTTP configuraton. How different could it be?
and to make your point even more - lots of "newbies" couldn't spell google. They use the AOHell search engine.
Newer versions of Domino are FAR more stable than the earlier versions. The UI isn't bad once you get used to it.

"Windows NT/2000 Native API Reference" - Gary Nebbett.
Many Win32 functions are just wrappers around the almost completely undocumented native API. This book outlines the Native API function by function.

Because it is not about speed. It is about capacity. If your servers can handle twice the traffic, then you need 50% fewer servers.

SETI recently attended a P2P conference hosted by my company. From what I heard (I could not attent), they consider it to be P2P.
Not that I am advocating using IIS, but the studies I have seen show IIS serving content faster than any other USER Level Web server.
Consider using a kernel level web server or a kernel level web server accelerator.
My 1/50 of a dollar.
