As more evidence comes out daily of the ties between the leaders of petroleum producing countries and terrorists (not to mention the human rights abuses in their own countries), the incentive for finding an alternative to petroleum rises higher and higher. The environmental problems of petroleum have finally been surpassed by the strategic weakness of being dependent on a fuel that can only be purchased from tyrants.
I must say, I wasn't expecting quite that sort of introduction to an otherwise very informative and logical essay.
That aside, I'll never understand why pure alcohol has never been seriously pursued as a substitute for gasoline.
"We're the biggest spammer on the Internet," network engineer Sean Lutner said at a meeting of an antispam working group in Washington, D.C., last week.
Seconds later, bangs, thrashes, and pleads for mercy in a very Lutner-like voice could be heard from outside the conference room.
My dad's a network admin, my sister and brother-in-law are database admins, and my mother's a computer store office manager. No bartering for me! It's more like it's a shameful thing if I have to ask any of them anything.

You'll be a 200-year-old, withered, repulsive, barely-coherent husk of a human being... but dammit, you'll be healthy!
Double entendres and all that...

Traders link to the system over FDDI, T3 or ATM links, and the Eurex back office servers connect via 2Gbit/s Fibre Channel links and switches to the SSDs. The system uses DSI's 3200 solid state disks, with two to eight Fibre Channel ports that can push out 250,000 IOPS - up to 3Gbit/s - and contain 16-64 GB of capacity. There are two hot-swappable power supplies and three hot-swappable drives per DSI 3200. Uptime is five-nines - 99.999 percent.
Well! A consumer-level version ought to be cheap in about... ten years.
Kids are some of the sneakiest people alive. (This is not open for debate. We were all kids once.)
Even little ones are all over music/movie piracy. They already know the thrill of getting something for free rather than asking your parents to buy it.
That thrill and the associated material benefit far outweighs anything the RIAA/MPAA or teachers can do to endorse a strict policy of legal distribution.

While Kyler Laird appears to operate on a budget that's a couple of orders of magnitude lower,
Well, his web server sure doesn't show it.

So the first word visiting aliens will see will be "Goodyear."
However, they can block that port on individual cable modems-a sort of surgical strike.
Bit like Whack-A-Mole, then?

Flex your fingers, crack your knuckles, and get some eyedrops... because you're going to be doing a lot of typing.
and no, it doesn't use white magic...
Black, then?
Or is that reserved exclusively for Microsoft?
Time for those flannel-wearing, shotgun-toting, cap-wearing L.L. Beaners to shoot 'em some cyberspace trespassers.

My inkjet printer already does that.
Then "it" certainly does grow.
I love the description of the Black Box:
"Voice-activated recording device... to record bear sounds, or, in the event of a catastrophic failure of the Ursus Mark VI, last words."
I can't think they'd ever get many last words besides "AAAAAAGH!"

Rambus believes that RDRAM was not the success it should have been because chip makers did not want to pay their royalties.
Or maybe it was because it was too expensive and better alternatives existed?
Ever consider that one, legal geniuses at Rambus?
From the Introduction to the Letter from the Founders:
Google is not a conventional company. We do not intend to become one.
an extensive review (all in one page, no flash ads -- what a concept!)
And for all the bandwidth that would save, the webserver is still DOA...
You know...
...that thing had better be sporting a Decepticon insignia.

I'll never forget reading this entry in the monitor log book:
"Search Voyeur query of the day:
'Why does poop stink?'"
Anyone remember the WebCrawler Search Voyeur?
It was a little Java applet that sat on your screen and displayed the pseudo-real-time search queries of other people.
When I was a computer lab monitor at my college, we used to note in the log book any particularly amusing queries that we'd seen.
"hairy woman"... "squirrel torture"... "tom AND cruise AND foot AND odor"... "asian girl underage spanking"...
Oh yeah, and Yahoo as well. Forgot to include them.
Interestingly, their look has changed very, very little from their olden days.
