My roomate was one of those laid off at Intel, it now takes 3 people at Intel's Aloha, Oregon Campus to do his job (Software QA Engineer). He is now having to work two minimum wage jobs (18 years experience, 7 at Intel, and thats all he can get) to afford living, and ironicly, he now makes just a hair shy of what he was making at Intel, and has less work hours than at Intel.
The Portland area economy is in the dumps, people cant get jobs because they are "overqualified," I would gladly work at Comcast Cable, but Im "overqualified" to man a phone for 8 hours a day and answer people's questons about cable TV.
Thankfully it looks like Ill be working at ACS (formerly Cyberrep) as either a Boost Mobile or Nextel rep.
So, I guess Indians will be the next market for Intel processors, considering Intel is trying pretty hard on its part to leave nobody in the US that can afford them.
Well, that pretty much goes for the entire US economy, in this recession, workers are being laid off due to a lack of sales, creating a larger group of people that cannot afford their products, or even afford living.
How many times can executives say "its not my problem" until it is their problem?
The DLL libraries are already loaded in the dllcache the second time around, so Windows dosent have to load the dlls again, and thats why its faster.
If you really wanted to start a program fast you could write a little program to load the dlls of the bigger program, keeping them loaded and allowing the bigger program to start faster.
Thats kinda what MS does with IE, except the IE dlss are loaded by explorer, which is just another instance of IE.

Tog has an excerpt of the Challenger chapter of that book:
Attorney-client privalege does not sheild the attorney from having to notify the proper authorities in the event that the client discusses his/her plan to commit a crime in the future, attorneys are required by their ethics rules to notify the authorities.
Because the voters don't know of what they are doing.
Ask anyone about COPA, CIPA, the DMCA, CDA, etc, and they wholdint have a clue what that legislation means or what has happened and is happening whith it. It seems to me that people debate politics endlessly, but never note what there reps are doing until its pointed out to them, not to say that people are dumb.
This is why you shold write a letter to your reps, to the editor of your local newspaper, call into a local radio talk show, and (If you like to write) maybe a opinion piece for your local newspaper. There are many ways you can help to raise awareness on these issues.

Jakob has already covered these things.
And offers some solutions.

According to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/rss-dev/files/specif ication.html
"RSS [RDF Site Summary] is an XML application, conforms to the W3C's RDF Specification ..."
So, I'd expect RSS to be derived from, and using RDF.
well, Im a dialup user, and I chew though about 300MB a day. Its rather easy to considering all of the eye-candy on webpages these days.
