Since when is "Microsoft Outlook shipped with most Windows computers"?
I think the reporter made a mistake and meant to say Outlook Express, which is shipped with most every PC since it's a part of IE.
and seems 'noble' enough, but is it really needed? I just use KMail for e-mail. Even at work where I do use Outlook for Exchange connectivity, we don't really use the Calender features. Maybe if I had a PDA and could sync back and forth, but then I'd have to get used to entering all my appointments into the calender.
So, your argument is that because you don't use Outlook/Exchange for groupware stuff, that no one should? I'm sure there are thousands of sysadmins out there that would love to be freed from maintaining an Exchange server, but there is nothing out there that even comes close to doing the job. Most regular computer users (and especially the decision makers who are the most busy) grow very fond of Outlook's calendering functions. The plain fact is there really is no viable alternative.
It's easier to just write it down on a piece of paper or use my brain.
So, that's it. Just convince all those Fortune 500 companies to switch to the high tech "Post-It Note" system. I'm sure 3M has tried that one but was forced to put it on the back burner. Sorry, just because you don't use or appreciate the app doesn't mean that thousands and thousands of office people shouldn't either.
For all of us lazy US folks, the phone is approx 3.5" by 2" by about 13/16" thick, and weighs around 3.2oz (for reference, an alkaline AA battery weighs about 0.85oz, so this thing weighs less than four AA batteries, 3.75 or so.)

Insightful? Maybe if they were running their web servers under DOS... But any web server you run into in the wild will be forked/multithreaded and able to handle hundreds if not thousands of simultaneous connections. By downloading very slowly you are really doing nothing at all but wasting your time.
You are running into Slashdot's lameness filter. It inserts a space character into long words every 40 chars or so, to quell the page-widening trolls. A bane of many copy and paste url failures.

One of the most effective anti-spam resources I have used is the MAPS DUL
I think the Dial-up blacklist is way overrated. For one thing, I don't think many spammers would actually use a dialup line. I report all my spam to spamcop and hardly any of it is from a dialup netblock. Some from DSL/cable, but hardly any from dialup.
In the past I've been adversely affected by ISPs bouncing mail based on the DUL RBL. I had registered my own domain, using the Yahoo Personal Address service. I have since switched providers, but at the time I was dependant on Yahoo for my email. Basically, to send mail with the From: header as my own domain, I had to run my own SMTP server on my local machine. My dialup ISP would not accept outbound mail with a From: that was not part of their domain, and Yahoo did not provide an outbound SMTP server (I was paying for POP service, though.) Their solution was either to use Webmail (which is an abomination); or set the From: to my ISP's mail account and list my personalized domain email address in the Reply-To. That pretty much defeated the whole purpose of a "vanity" / "personalized" email address.
Neither of these solutions was very attractive, so running my own SMTP server for sending mail solved everything.... EXCEPT of course for those few instances when I tried to send email to someone on an ISP that honored the DUL RBL (mindspring.com was one I think) -- in those cases mail bounced. For no good reason.
Knuth is a guy who likes to plan ahead. On his web site he states that Volume 4 (of The Art Of Computer Programming) will be ready in 2007, and Vol. 5 will be published in 2009. He then goes on to describe how he plans to rewrite Vols. 1-3 after he finishes 5. Finally after that, "God willing" he says, he plans to write Vol. 6 (context-free languages) and Vol. 7 (Compiler Techniques.) We're talking probably 10-20 years into the future here, certainly what I'd call long-term planning.
Sits in your tray, checks slashdot for updates every couple minutes, and if it finds any new links on the front page, grabs them
Sweet jeebus, you could flash-fry a server in 30 seconds with that kind of setup.
I think it would do more harm than good, think about the wastefulness of thousands and thousands of nearly-instantaneous hits for the sites linked. Sure, it would be useful in that when you get around to reading slashdot you'd have your own local mirror ready, and if not you could get one easily. But not everyone reads every story, etc, etc. There would have to be some way for the clients to coordinate before hitting the linked site. That way they could arrange for an initial handfull of well-connected clients to get the content and then pass it on down a tree structure, kinda like the old concept of the "phone tree" that schools and church groups use. The whole point is to not hit up the server, but rather use the peer network as soon as its available.
Of course, no discussion of CVS's strengths and weaknesses vs. Subversion would be complete without mention of the third contender, arch. Link 1, Link 2.
Seriously, you really should watch this short film. I'll leave it at that. Ignore the fact that it's titled "Farm Sluts"; or rather don't ignore it, watch it at home and not at work.
Yes, I agree. I am fondly remembering the days of running that combo (DOS, QEMM, DESQview) and being able to sensibly multitask DOS apps without the crud that was Win 3.x. It was beautiful at the time to be able to run as many apps as you wanted, each with their own environment, with a very low memory overhead. The only downside of DESQview was that it was very choppy, its timeslices were large. But, if you wanted to run a BBS in the background and still use your computer, it really was great. DESQview even had an X Windows server, which was impressive. It didn't use MS Windows at all, it had its own rendering system, along with the multitasking of DESQview.
OS/2 of course was the other option at the time, and it was good as well, but involved a lot more planning and dedication. You really had to "think different" (to steal Apple's line) to get into OS/2. However, it certainly required much more of a system than DOS. I remember trying the OS/2 v2.0 beta on a 386sx with about 4MB of RAM. That was kind of painful.
I must agree, privoxy is an excellent program indeed. There's a thread in their Sourceforge bug tracker about ad-blocking software (a different company I think but the same idea) and the consensus is that it will eventually have to be addressed. At the current time, however, only a few sites are going to such extremes. A rather simple policy would be the ability for the ad-blocker to request the banner image but discard the results and send a 1x1 empty image to the browser.
However, this fails for sites that use Javascript to check on the client-side whether certain images are blocked or not. Disabling Javascript is one way, but they can probably check that server-side. Sadly, it's very hard for third-party software to deal with this -- they would have to implement a complete Javascript interpreter. In other words, simple regex text handling can only go so far when dealing with scripts, it's far easier to implement changes in the browser's script engine. However, as you can see from this discussion of Bugzilla #181035, doing this can be very non-trivila. [Note that bugzilla refuses referers from slashdot and that link may not work, so either enter the URL by hand or fake your Referer: header.]
Finally, I'd just like to remind everyone using IE that would like Mozilla-like features such as pop-up blocking, tabbed browsing, per-page Javascript/ActiveX disabling, etc. to try Crazy Browser which uses the IE engine with extra stuff on top.
Switching to a memory type that didn't require constantly refreshing would be a big save too, but all known memory of that type is horridly slow (cmos, flash memory, etc), so you can't fix that real well.
It's called SRAM, and it's wicked fast. You may be familiar with it since it's beed used in caches for decades. The S stands for Static, in constrast from Dynamic styles of logic (i.e. DRAM which includes SDRAM, DDR, etc.)
The reason why we can't use it for main memory is cost. DRAM is easy to integrate into extremely dense layouts, it's basically one transistor per bit in a grid arrangement. SRAM usues about 6 transistors per bit and is not nearly as easy to arrange into nice regular patterns like DRAM.

Considering marathoners go about 12 MPH, and sprinters go about about 20 MPH and they are both legal on the sidewalk
Lay off the crack. A marathon time of 4:30, which is damn hard, averages out to around 5.5-6 MPH. A 4 minute mile (which is at the world-class freakishly-trained level) is still only 15 MPH.
I've paced myself at a brisk walk and it's about 3.75 to 4 MPH. Believe me, this is still MUCH faster than most of the pedestrian traffic on the sidewalk. If it's moderately busy (or there is any sort of incline involved), you can forget about being able to even walk briskly, let alone jog or sprint.
If a thing traveled at 10MPH on the sidewalks, it would be going 3 to 5 times faster than 99% of the foot traffic.
Suppose there's a lecture hall in some building on campus, and it has a nice multimedia projection screen setup. Now suppose that some local club (lets say, oh, the Anime Club) had arranged to show movies in this room during the evenings or weekends when it wasn't being used for academic purposes. Now imagine that this club became fairly popular, and started holding movie marathons every Friday night -- and that this use of the facility resulted in people spilling drinks in the seats, leaving trash all over the floor, causing extra wear on the seats from having their feet up, trashing the bathrooms in between movies out of boredom, having to replace the (expensive) bulb in the projector much more often, and perhaps having to leave the lights and building AC/heat on during weekends where before they were not needed.
The result is that somebody has to clean up their mess (janitors, building maintenance folks), legitimate users of the room begin to be affected (trash left in seats, projector breaking during lecture, etc), and in general an academic resource becomes overwhelmed with a non-academic use.
The fact is, if the above scenario ever happened at a university, the club would eventually be denied access. I don't think any resonable person would see this as somehow taking away a right or privilege of those students. Their use of the resource became too great. In the case of internet access, if you must download off Kazaa, live off campus and get a cable modem -- just like this hypothetical Anime club is free to use somebody's private home or rent some other facility for thier showings. No one is saying that you can't use Kazaa, they're saying you can't overwhelm an academic resource with a bunch of unrelated spooge.
What is 1x speed for a DVD-writer. Is it the same as a CD-writer (150KB/s). If so... it's still a looong time to burn a 4000MB DVD:
Did you even read the article? The theoretical rate for DVD 1x is 1380 KB/s, so 2x is 2760 KB/s and 2.5x is 3450 KB/s.
In his testing, he burned:
4.26 GB DVD-R at 1x in 59:13 (1257 KB/s) 4.21 GB DVD-R at 2x in 29:31 (2492 KB/s) 4.21 GB DVD+R at 2.5x in 27:58 (2631 KB/s) 4.25 GB DVD+RW at 2.5x in 22:10 (3351 KB/s)
So, the effective rates are somewhat less than the theoretical (probably because of extra time to write the TOC or close the disk) but they come fairly close. In any case, it's nowhere near 3 hours.
Remember, this is a max speed (probably calculated on the outer ring?), chances are that your DVD is going to take longer to burn than optimal estimates.
That only applies when accessing a drive using CAV, the burning here is done with CLV, so the rate is constant throughout the whole disk.
Here's a tip: you can't "create cooling", only move heat. These refridgerated cases move heat from the CPU to outside the case. If you replace all your standard cases with these, your room temperature will not decrease one bit; in fact it will increase because the additional energy dissipated from the compressor overhead. The only way this could possibly work is if you placed the evaporators outdoors and ran the tubing through the walls or window.
It's the same mistake as placing a window air conditioner anywhere but in a window (such as sitting on the floor in the corner.) It will do absolutely nothing to cool the room, and will likely increase the room temperature, unless it can somehow vent the heat to the outdoors.
Finally, remember that these cases can handle a heat load of roughly 150 Watts or so, which really isn't squat -- it's about 500 BTU/hr. A typical window air conditioner might be 10000 BTU. Estimate A/C needs at something around 30 BTU per square foot or so.
If I were to download these books and then bring them into the US, would that be an illegal act?
Well, I'm shooting at the hip here, but doesn't copywrite law actually apply to the act of copying? In other words, you made the copy in a jurisdiction where that act is legal. And Animal Farm and 1984 are not illegal to possess in the United States (insert joke about "just wait, they will be") so therefore I don't see how it would be illegal to bring those copies into the country.
Now certainly you could stretch this logic to something absurd such as, "Well if the webserver is in another country and I'm in the US and I download the book, it's not illegal since the actual copy is generated in the other country." But I don't think that's a valid argument, the copying would have to occur entirely in a jurisdiction where that is legal.
