WoW has 5 million+ subscribers around the world, man. They've been in the new york times, dave chapelle says he's addicted to it, and there was a question referencing it on Jeopardy.
Lets say the hotspot you're in has 54Mbps, straight to it's ISP's NNTP server.
That's 6.75 MB give or take per second from a news server. An average 1 disc xvid movie is ~700MB. You could download a movie from newsgroups in 104 seconds that way...
The IM community is so partitioned now, that most users have to run 2-4 different clients in order to talk to all of their friends. What about a service that is open, cant be bought out, and will last for a long time?
"The IPN would form a backbone connecting a series of hubs on or around planets, ships, and at other points in space. These hubs would provide high-capacity, high-availability Internet traffic over distances that could stretch up to hundreds of millions of miles."
Wouldn't a series of switches be better? It seems it would be a better idea to increase those collision domains...
This seminar may have been more useful as "things to keep in mind when starting a mmog". Why would you discourage people from designing something?
IMHO, It sounds like he just wants less competition.
Side note: Whats with the horrible selection of pictures that come with this article? It's a seminar, shouldnt they just have one picture of him speaking? Maybe some screenshots? Instead they have four pictures of him speaking, not even at different angles. Ones blurry too.
This guy is really big into the crop circle alien conspiracy thing, now he's thinking that there is a disney conspiracy too? Maybe he's too paranoid? Smoking a bit too much of the reefer?
In the near future Microsoft starts admitting that linux has it strongpoints. Microsoft slowly starts adopting linux within its newer OS's... Good or bad?
For atmosphere, an indian with a turban will be placed in every pod. He/she will be payed to ask random things in a deep foreign accent, and yell at you when you ask him what he/she said.

shes cute and she swallows!
The more they send out, the easier it is to triangulate who they are
I don't think you'll find much help about girlfriends from the usual slashdot crowd...
Use the robots while they're still on mars as your firewall... that's going to be only
All I see anywhere is 'hundreds of megabits per second' but i haven't seen any actual numbers... anyone know?
Oh no, an article about sex... This will probably get more comments then the 9/11 posts

WOOHOO! WHO NEEDS A THEATRE!?

It doesn't matter what "causes" the crash. The OS should be essentially crashproof.
It's not technically the OS crashing, it's the app.
This guy, also located in washington, started renting out a segway around the same time...
Segway Thief?

"We had a note about the American premiere last summer, but now it's finally open for general admission"
Using the Taco->English translation on babelfish, it comes out as:
"HAHA BASTARDS, CANT TELL ME ITS A REPOST NOW"
"This radiation is the remnant of the Big Bang..."
Isn't that just a theory? Does this finding prove the theory in some way?
" If an attacker can persuade a target to open, modify and then return a document to him he can snaffle sensitive files on a user's PC. "
This isn't a huge bug with office it's a huge bug with USERS.
Wasnt there a thing with powerbooks catching fire a while back?

and kazaa and morpheus (the old one) have been doing the multiple-user download for quite some time
PCAnywhere and Terminal Services are better IMHO
Actually, It'd probably go something like this:
Terminal Services > PCAnywhere > VNC
