I've gone the route of using VPN to my home network, and using a DNS Server with the Hosts file installed, effectively destroying many advertising links on my mobile devices. Unfortunately, it's not perfect, but I have ad-block in nearly ever application on my iDevice now.
This was my first year as a virgin, and I did a lot of prep before hand. "The Journey" made the destination that much more rich and filled with, as I already had sweat and emotional equity into the thing.
I couldn't have replaced that for $200 in convenience by paying a camp to do it for me. I learned about building a hexayurt with a could of other virgins and one vet, learned about solar energy, and I learned a lot about myself.
HDMI is _PIN FOR PIN_ compatible with DVI (it's the exact same standard) with the added capibility of carrying 8 channel PCM audio over the same cable as well. This is why it's really easy to convert HDMI to DVI. DVI also allows HDCP support, as will UDI once it is released this year.
Zonker is a great, and extremely smart guy. I had the opportunity to work with him for about 8 months at a data center. Anything I would have trouble with... and I mean ANYTHING, Zonker would always have the answer. He has lots of great articles, I recommend reading them!
"Hey! We can appease the OS folks by making the code visable to them! And then the media, they'll be like 'Woah! No one would EVER release insecure code if they didn't think it was secure!'"
Now that every Windows user is going to be running a SQL variant on their system, imagine the bugs and holes that are going to be in this. Now THIS will be interesting to see.
After my baby sister came over, touched a Western Digital Hard Drive, created a lovely ESD, turned the computer off, and I threw the hard drive across the room, having part of the MOLEX connector break off. The sucker still worked.
I was amazed... and that drive is still running in one of my boxen:P
Everyone is all up in arms about how the evil cable companies are going to charge us for the bandwidth we use. The fact of the matter, is that every other internet industry has always been doing this. I know the colocation I have charges a per GB fee of transfer, and I know anyone who has been/.ed, had a large site link to them, or just has a high traffic server knows this.
You have to figure, $45.95 per month for a 1.5mbit/s connection by 256kbit/s connection. Let's put this in prospective shall we? Standard T-1 through XO for a 1 Year contract is $800 for 1.544/1.544, with an SLA. You are paying 1/17th of that cost, for your connection. People complain that it isn't always up, that it slows down, that this and that happen. Well, for 1/17th the price, I'm of the opinion, that if you get 1/17th the service, it's worth it. I know that my cable doesn't go down, and that I don't cause problems for my Cable Internet Provider.
I also know that I am one of the individuals that is going to get hit pretty hard over the Pay-As-You-Go kinda deal for bandwidth, because I use 200 to 500GB a month of BW. It's the people like me (and there are lots of us!) that cause comapanies to go out of business. It's like a person with a huge appitite going to a buffet and eating 50 times more than the standard person does. Because people, a "typical" broadband user uses it go check their e-mail, and get to CNN... Fast. Not to download warez, and mp3's like a mad monkey.
Just think about the logic of charging people for what you use, and you will totally understand where I am coming from.

I'm in your voting machine stealing your election.

Good research on this, please mod this guy up (I would but no mod points!)

I think the article is flamebait and is just trying to incite people to hate Google, when, as of yet, they have not done anything wrong.
This is totally just a poly at PR.
I mean here's the thinking.

Yay... This is a joke.

You know, 1/10th of something rather than 1/4. Damn engineers can't figure out the conversion between metric and standard!
People like PVP so much. It's that entire kill people thing.
She actually touched the Circuit Board of the hard drive and got the ESD from that.

Wow... funny in the same day.

And now this!
If indeed they do have access to a lot of P2P networks, this would go along with MANY peoples comments about them not needing DRM anymore.
Fishy?
I hope not.

I work for a large company, and we at one time had a Java based Customer Information Application. It had a few good error messages like
Error: No error has occured
Error: Too much memory
These always confused the hell out of us.
It'll be interesting to see how many Denver / Boulderites attend this.
