Does it have anything to do with the city's density?
Media density. All fourty-nine television stations mentioned it, all seven-thousand talkback radio shows had an hour long discussion about it. And don't forget the newspapers, although they managed to give a more digested version of what happened instead of the minute-by-minute update of (mis)information what the television stations did.
It might be a NAS, but which protocols does it speak? NFS? Samba? FTP? DAV? Which authentication methods is it capable of? Can it authenticate against my (insert your favourite authentication service).
If you search deep enough, you'll find something which will link me to a terrorist group. Just broaden your definition of terrorism wide enough, make the links deep enough and oh my...
It will be cheaper to put a fence around the whole country I'm living in than to build prisons for all of us.

What is the difference between the "availablility" and the "immediate availability" of a product?
Is it like the "closing down sale" and the "genuine closing down sale"? Or like the "additional 20% discount on top of our normal 30% discount"?
If it's available, it's immediatly available. If it is not immediatly available, it's not available.

IBM, too, is famous for its research, and it has five Nobel Prizes to show for its work.
Just wait until the government in Sweden gets a nice deal on Windows and Bill Gates will have his Nobel Price too!
(If you don't believe, compare it with the deal the government in the UK got and that he immediatly after it got knighted:-)
Firstly, he claims that our bandwidth and disk space aren't free... welp, he's right, but only barely. The marginal cost of the additional disk space, CPU cycles, bandwidth, etc is virtually zero, but certainly positive. Yet then he claims that a spammer's costs are zero. What about their computers? Email addresses? Bandwidth? Hard drive space? Those certainly aren't less costly than the same types of resources for each individual recipient.
One time the cost of bandwidth hard drive, computers etc for the spammer is relatively small.
Millions of times the cost of bandwidth hard drive, computers etc for the recipients is still enormous.
+5 insightfull for a rant which doesn't give any solution.
On fidonet gets spam too: just send a message, either as node or via the message board, to a machine and it is broadcasted over the whole network. Not as fast... not as easy... not a target as big as you can get on usenet... but still other people are paying long distance calls to deliver your message.

If they think this will stop people from pirating in Thailand try again. That is like telling a pirate in the US that Windows XP Home is $200 but you can get a 'light' version for $40 or $50.
The pirates will still pirate! DUH
Maybe the pirated version is cheaper than the pirated version of the normal Windows Xp...
Time was, back in the 1980s, that the clickety-click of dot matrix was the sound of progress.
That was a daisy wheel printer. A matrix printer goes **AZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ**, a noise which can compete regarding cruelty with a modem trying to get a handshake.
If Norton Anti Virus is able to block SMTP traffic when it is not running (errr... yes this is true, if NAV doesn't run the traffic is blocked, if it runs it is scanned), then the white-hat virus could block the SMTP traffic too.
You will probably never store RFID tags in it, but other people (companies) might want to do so. To standardise the resource-records for it, it will be possible for company A to share its information with company B without having to write a conversion tool[*].

I'm not sure what you mean with it, DNS has always been client-to-server, only in a couple of cases (that is for servers which host the same domain) it is server-to-server. And then, multimaster domains can be used in that situation.
So please explain to me why DNS should be P2P oriented.

Todays world (well, the 'civilized' part of it) suffers from the instant-satisfaction syndrome. Everything has to happen now, now, now.
Things can take more than a decade, an election-term, a year, a month or a year. And that doesn't make them boring.

Why does this device need to be both wired and wireless?
It's probably cheaper to produce one unit which can do both than to make the two additional units (with all support/documentation/troubleshooting).
It might be a NAS, but which protocols does it speak? NFS? Samba? FTP? DAV? Which authentication methods is it capable of? Can it authenticate against my (insert your favourite authentication service).
Anybody has any ideas?

Fascinating that they (=Netcraft) think that Slashdot is doing more damage to SCO than what Groklaw did.
