That just sounds like the solar panel (and perhaps the accumulator) were hopelessly underspecified. Assuming we're talking the good old lead acid battery, those things really do not take kindly to being run down completely.
Another way of looking at this is, now they're "admitting" that MP3 only gives us 10% of the original music, surely then we should be complaining if they sell an album in MP3 format for more than 10% the cost of it on CD?
Put all your hard discs in a box on the roofrack of your car, and it just happens that the rope holding it in place comes adrift while doing 70mph on the motorway scattering your discs over a wide area and being driven over by everything behind you.
I'd be surprised if the discs survive that, especially if any get run over by trucks.
Some university systems set your email From: line to have your full name (as they have it) and don't let you change it, and they make you jump through all sorts of hoops with the sysadmins if you wanted to change it even for legit reasons (being known by your middle name, wanting to drop the middle name altogether or reduce it to an initial), presumably to stop people's outgoing email looking like it fell out of an IRC server.
This setting of "Ave Maria" is set around the first prelude from Book 1 of the "Well-Tempered Clavier" by Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) and had the Ave Maria lyrics set to it by Charles Gounod (1818-1893).
1750+70=1820. Even under current rules the prelude was out of copyright by the time Gounod was 2.
1893+70=1963.
The lyrics date to the 11th century (and perhaps earlier, to the 7th century.)
The "Ave Maria" work is well out of copyright. And as another poster has said anything published prior to 1923 is already in the public domain.
I wouldn't be surprised if Windows Update is the cause of a lot of traffic spikes. I can almost see that getting traffic-shaped into a 14k4 modem bandwidth. Shared amongst all their subscribers....
The only good part is that now the stream includes the info on the currently played song, so your media player might be able to display it (Windows Media Player does; the media players I've tried in Linux don't display info about what's currently played, so you'll still have to watch the "Queued for Play" and/or "Played this hour" web pages).
In otherwords, unless you're using WMP to listen to the streams, you still have to have their website open to see the current song information. And the advertisements on that page will be displayed.
The only thing that's newsworthy about this is Microsoft have no shame about shouting that they've been getting people to reinvent a wheel that has been around for about a decade. And it wouldn't be the first time, either. The new technology in NT? Virtual memory, straight from VMS.

Nothing to stop them use this or something similar to power point-to-point microwave links to provide uplinks for the wi-fi access points.
BSD users believe in no graven images

What about the FreeBSD daemon (as shown on their site? Or the strange thing looking like a furball riding a seahorse on the OpenBSD site?
Some of the files changed are indeed dual licensed.
Unfortunately, some of them are only BSD-licensed. That's the big oops here.

Real? Maybe if you're quick enough before Clapham Junction...
This is all do-able without deleting anything.
Just print to file, then send your print-file to the printer as many times as you like.
(This, of course, won't work if the printed coupons have a different serial number on them)

Why would I want to pollute my arse with that?
How long before SCOX ends up being mentioned in pump & dump stock spams? ;)

A 386SX16 with 4-8MB RAM running WinNT4. Kazaa should run on that. Just.
(Run? Well, not the right word, but the code should execute.)

Reminds me of the survey (reported ) that over 70% of respondents would give someone their password in exchange for some chocolate.
All that survey tells us is that 30% were too dense to make up something on the spot in exchange for free confectionery.

Except there'd be CCTV cameras [...] in all toilet pans, etc.

Not sure who they are - but this might interest you: UKFSN's home offerings.
You just insulted all the tools out there, likening them to Windows users.

Oh, you will get service all right. Much the same way a cow gets service from a bull.

At least one of the alleged Russkys I actually started chatting with is cute.
Congratulations. You've been speaking to the goatse guy.
Probably a server drive crash, and this is where we discover AOL have been reliably backing up their ICQ server to /dev/null all these years.
(and it seems mine is gone too, but I haven't used it in 4 years.)
Correction:
Imagine a Beowulf cluster of this !!!
The one machine can be its own two-node Beowulf "cluster".
