A gorilla can survive in the jungle and I can't. Worms can also survive.
Therefore I must be less intelligent than worms and gorillas. This liberal shit is getting out of hand. It is ok to say somebody is less intelligent when they are less intelligent. However, it is not ok to act in a morally reprehensible manner towards them.
Imagine that you are watching a movie on NBC without commercials, but whenever someone says the word "soda" an ad streams across for Coke/Pepsi.
That is the stupidest thing I have ever heard. That wouldn't even be inline with AdSense/AdWords. You clearly don't understand what the technology does.
Additionally, the areas near towers are generally higher density and more urban, more polluted, have less green space for exercise, and contain more Macdonalds'. The population is educated to a lesser extent and are less health aware (they don't take as good care of themselves). They are more likely to smoke, eat fattening/unhealthy foods and visit the doctor less often.
Never mind all that, it *must* be the AM radio. That being said we should look into this but without jumping to any conclusions.

The problem with putting a limit on wealth is that it kills entrepaneurial incentives. I run a business that employs five people. Last year I made more than your limit. If the limit was in place I would take a 6 month vacation after I hit the cap. That would likely cause my company of five employees become a company of three. Entrepreuners drive this economy and create a majority of new wealth.
What Lay did is illegal under our current system. We don't need any changes we just need much much better inforcement which we are now seeing.
The difference is that a very small portion of the expensive car is profit. GM made 186.16B last year and only had 2.6B profit. The majority portion of that car was consumed. Sure some of the money trickles down but it is an insignificant amount. The cost of the car pays for things like secartaries at GM, pulling metals out of the ground and building huge factories.
We as a society can't afford to fund every idea and possible invention out there. We need people whose job (full or part time) it is to allocate capital and resources to the most deserving projects. Those that have the highest chance of success. Those people are called investors. Granted they don't make perfect decisions, however, if you could do a better job you'd be rich and you could decide which projects to fund.
The man who invests his money and attempts to create further value for society is to be commended over the man who gluttonously consumes his wealth.
I'll give you an example. Two brothers, Bob and Joe, have become very wealthy hockey players. Bob pisses away his money. He buys expensive cars, has statues erected and lives the high life. Many people are employed and jobs are created to provide the expensive items he is buying. However, these items are quickly consumed and there is no lasting benefit to society.
Joe invests his money in a telecommunications company. Using investor's money the company is able to fund research into high-speed data transfer methods. Money that Joe made from his hockey career is now paying for this research. Jobs are created, total knowledge of society is increased and society (consumers/businesses) receive better products and technology. This is the magic of our free markets.
Average capacity is likely nowhere near 100%. Factor in the pilots, flight attendant, airport fees, ground crews, maintenance, insurance, sales, marketing, food etc and the profitability quickly comes in to question.
In an ideal world a remote kernel install would go something like this:
1) Complie & install new kernel image. 2) Reboot Fails 3) Remotely power cycle. 4) Lilo/Grub detects failed boot attempt and loads known good kernel 5) Re-compile & install kernel properly this time 6) Reboot
A procedure like that would probably save countless plane flights/car trips.

Do you have something against magazine publishers? Why are you planning to steal their money and waste their resources? He won't have to pay for the magazines, we all will.

That's what so incredibly funny about Microsoft. They claim to be innovators, yet they had DOS for all those years - bought off the shelf, mind, not actually created by MS - and they could have done soooo much with it! They could have made it multi user, multitasking, etc. made it into a real OS.
Come on, I dislike MS as much as the next/.er but blaming MS for not improving dos? Hmmm, MS could focus on developing Windows 3.1/95/NT etc and make billions of dollars OR improve DOS?!? Clearly they are stupid and should have improved DOS.
think we need to focus on ISPs who allow large numbers of these infected machines to remain on their networks.
It comes down to money. It costs money to police your network, while this cost may be less than the damage inflicted upon 3rd parties, the ISP doesn't care (and the ISP's customers don't want to pay more).
Additionally, non-consumer ISPs (i.e. backbone providers etc) actually *profit* from rampant spam and dos attacks. We've all heard the statics regarding the alarming percentage of total bandwidth that is being used for spam/dos and other noise. Someone is making money selling this bandwidth, the same people that have the power to curtail the attacks. I know people that have run up significant bandwidth bills after becoming the victim of a sustained dos attach or spam relay.
Think about this, an ISP institutes filtering of suspicious packets and connection attempts and ends up filtering 10% (or maybe way more) of their total bandwidth suddenly we are talking about big $$$. ISPs actually have a disincentive to fix the problem. We need to stop looking towards ISPs being a voluntary part of the solution.

He did have funds in his account. The bank screwed up and *thought* he didn't. But he did. It's the banks mistake.

We need more Joes and fewer Bobs.
You forgot about taxes. They make $50,000 before taxes. They would have to buy this thing for $1,700 with after tax income.
That is just awsome. Thanks for sharing this.
It depends on the application. Lets not forget that Google is a web application.
Yes, I love that show. It is the catalyst towards my builing a mythTv box.
I'm sure a single IBM mainframe could do the same amount of work in half the amount of time and cost a fraction of what that Linux cluster cost.
Yes, I'm sure your right and Google is wrong. You are so much smarter than everyone.
The will have an additional $2.7B to spend on stuff... Stuff like rubber chickens.
In all seriousness $2.7B in google's hands will be fun to watch. It will increase there cash substantially.
That should be Rajiv<>K@Sparklit.com

I wonder why everyone seems to assume that any improvement in human capacity is always accompanied by "total lack of self-control and morals".
I took that as a reference to the fact that they were 9 year old children. Not many children that I know have a lot of self-control.
It seems that it is advertising.
