Modern botnets clients are pretty adaptable; they will download patches, modifying themselves to beat disinfectors. With care, and unless the net manager has taken extreme measures to prevent it, one can induce the clients to remove or disable themselves, rather than just trying to kill the control channel. Should that fail, one should be able to determine what fallback channels the botnet clients use and disable those before killing the current command channel.
A small fridge actually can't pump enough heat to keep a reasonably fast system cool; you'll wind up with the inside of the fridge being hotter than the outside.
Either it's forked with a new name, or the Mozilla foundation has to deal with a version that's significantly diverged from the original, with its own bugs and issues. Perhaps Debian could live with using the mainline codebase, and contributing patches to Mozilla rather than going out on its own?
The proper way to handle this problem is for the hotel to install an intelligent LAN router that can limit bandwidth for each user. This solution is protocol independent and not easily bypassed.
One can only hope. We have most of the technology to build one; all that's left is some way to hold the atoms that are moved into position in place until the structure is complete, and, of course, a good science of how atoms interact at such a scale.
The term "nanotechnology" is much too broad. Let's use "nanoscale materials" for this sort of thing, and "nanomechanics" for what all us/.'ers think when we hear "nanotechnology".
Actually, that's a brilliant suggestion. Even if a majority of the teens wind up defaulting on the debt, it would mean the RIAA would have some income, as opposed to zero when those teens grab the MP3s from friends or P2P networks instead.
Internal sound cards have gotten pretty darn good, but you can still wind up with RF noise leaking into the audio. Keeping the ADC/DAC outside of the computer eliminates the possibility.
I would also take some of the memory used for cache on each core and make it directly addressable instead. This would allow the CPUs to operate more independently and efficiently on certain tasks.
(1) Yeah, it's big, but if it's popular I'm sure you'll see variations in multiple sizes from multiple producers. Also, I don't think your PDA has 20 gig of space. Also, the Apple Newton was rather large, and there are people who STILL swear by it.
(2) I don't think you can put a backlight on an e-ink display. Even so, it'll be of high enough contrast to read in most situations you can read an ordinary paperback book. You could always use one of those little LED book lights, and you wouldn't burn the main batteries either.
(3&4) I don't think it'll be long before people start hacking this doohickey and turning it into a general-purpose computer. I'm pretty sure the concepts will eventually merge and you'll have a reader that'll also function as a PDA.
After reading Google's blog entry on the subject, I'm left puzzled by their call for a new standard with no further details, especially since it seems they're already using the technology. A power supply is simple enough, but I'd like to see what sort of strategy they're using for voltage conversion on their motherboards. What connectors are they using for power?
The funny thing is, this idea is relatively old, though AC was used instead of DC. Remember the Imsai 8080? The S-100 bus used an 18V AC supply, and each card had its own DC conversion and voltage regulator(s).

But the standby power debate isn't just about PCs; it's also about televisions and stereos.
There's also a convenience cost. Is it worth $2 a month to you so your entertainment devices can rapidly turn on?
Interesting that you used that phrase. You should look up where it came from.

hosting these services. That's what Cisco's patent is for.Anyone? Anyone?
Bueller?

Does this mean that Debian came up with a proper fix for it? Was the patch sent to Mozilla?

Except for the guy commenting about the width of the tubes.
I should've said something like, "geez, what those gamers will go through to lower their latency!"

I thought the signal traveled at roughly the same velocity over copper as over fiber optic cable. Is there really enough of a difference to matter?
Actually, that's a brilliant suggestion. Even if a majority of the teens wind up defaulting on the debt, it would mean the RIAA would have some income, as opposed to zero when those teens grab the MP3s from friends or P2P networks instead.
...does this mean a firmware blob can be decompiled and redistributed that way?
Interfering *WITH* the RIAA, now that IMO would be worthy of a Nobel prize.

Wish I had access to my own hard drive...
Lessee... Delete, delete, delete... Ack, run secure disk wipe on that one...
Ooo, lemme put this on YouTube!

Borderline. I wish I could try it out. I have a bunch of e-books I haven't read yet that I could stick on it.
Ian raises some points, but I have to disagree...
