I take it you also eschew Google, who make their money from advertising? Of course everyone can block their ads too, but if they did, they'd go out of business.
This is true, but when Amarok moved to the KDE4 base, I believe a lot of the KDE hooks they used to access simply weren't there. Hideous new UI issues aside, ever since 2.0 they've been trying to re-write the previous functionality into the new framework, which is apparently a lot harder than expected.
They don't necessarily need to stick with GTK(+) just because they started out with it.
XFCE (the XForms Common Environment) for example abandoned XForms some years ago and didn't look back. Ironically, they switched to GTK+ but that makes a bit more sense for a window manager.
In this culture of regular hygienic bathing you're absolutely correct. But send your boys off to war, or any other situation where regular washing isn't an option and see how the uncircumcised manage.
Dumb load balancing is possible with existing DNS - one request for a large site will result in a randomly-selected IP from a pool, as follows:
#host www.google.com www.google.com is an alias for www.l.google.com. www.l.google.com has address 72.14.213.99 www.l.google.com has address 72.14.213.104 www.l.google.com has address 72.14.213.147 www.l.google.com has address 72.14.213.106 www.l.google.com has address 72.14.213.105 www.l.google.com has address 72.14.213.103
Of course this has absolutely no redundancy, since there's no fallback protocol and it's utterly ignorant of location.
This proposal by Google extends that idea significantly and looks to me like a good thing.
They're suing people based on patents they should never have been granted in the first place, due to their position on the Jedi, excuse me, JEDEC Council at the time.
That they're probably operating legally has no bearing on whether or not they are patent trolls.
If you were to ask most people on the street what centripetal acceleration was, I doubt they could tell you that either. What's your point?
I would imagine ASCII text, PDF or LaTeX might be acceptable in this guy's class.
It might be a bit tough on freshmen, but anyone wanting to pursue a serious career in any science discipline needs to learn LaTeX, and the earlier the better.
This is so sad. Samsung should have *buried* Rambus for their invalid submarine patent.
And then dug them up and nailed them to a very tall building as a warning for other companies that might try making a buck on IP litigation instead of actually having a relevant product.
Or just wave a torch/laser pointer into the sky. I have made a laser beam travel from Rigel Kentaurus ro Betelgeuse in less than one second.
Of course, no actual information was transmitted from point A to B so it means nothing. And the "beam" is just a stream of photons, a construct we made up for convenience.

I nearly agree with you, but people with pituitary gland disorders tend to be obese and can't do jack about it.

I guess then that Windows NT 5.1 wasn't much more innovative than NT 5.0.
True, but not exactly telling since EVERY SINGLE PERSON who had a part in starting that civil war is now dead.
I doubt Peg would let him out of the house long enough to take the test.
The same place Apple suggests you put most of your removable media.
I suggest you don't think about it too hard.

Of course, Bill is already well on the way to getting said data, particularly when people seem happy to load up most of it to Facebook.
You also have the right not to fly.
Have you ever used one? I'm convinced glass cutting boards were invented to keep knife-sharpeners in business.
Nobody can build a gaming phone. Not until they can make a phone project onto a watchable screen surface (21" +) and with a usable controller.
Serious gaming simply needs a decent sized form factor, which is orthogonal to phone ergonomics.
You may as well ask, "Why has no one made AM/FM paint rollers?"
I'm pretty sure they didn't evolve wearing pants.

There's no way this is even remotely possible.
I mean, diamonds are rare, aren't they? You know it, I know it, and De Beers know it.
Do you lop off your fingers when handling Christmas tinsel? How about aluminium ("tin") foil?
These are nonsense lawsuits.

Going from anecdotal evidence, I'd say the standard American assload is about 2.54 Continental European assloads.
HTML with MathML FTW!
