Dear ISPs, you *are* dumb pipes. We pay you for the transference of bits over your network. Google pays their ISPs for the transference of bits over their networks. You and the other ISPs can either bill each other for the bits that come from one network onto the other, or forego that mostly pointless excercise and build general agreements in the ilk of "you pump my bits and I'll pump yours". This is called peering, and while your marketing and/or financial departments may not actually be aware of it, you are already doing it.
In other news, the water companies want the grenadine manufacturers to pay them because they're transporting lemonade ingredients over their facilities, and they shouldn't have a free ride - they're not dumb pipes, after all.
I subscribe to the general idea you just promoted - survival of the fittest doesn't seem to be applying to use any longer.
On the other hand, I've been entertaining the thought that it's not really possible to go outside of evolution - indeed, that our ability to wield advanced technologies and medicine is just another evolutionary benefit our species has developed. A side product of that, is the increased viability of what is essentially debris in the genepool. Time will tell if our wielding of such advanced tech is an evolutionary benefit, or wether our *indiscriminate* wielding of that tech to save those who may be detrimental to the species will be the fault that makes us yet another failed branch on the evolutionary tree.
As if you can't do those modifications from the.htaccess or in your code.
There's no shame in being a novice, only in hiding behind being a novice because you don't want to read the documentation on the things you whine about.
You don't do a lot of actual sound-based talking to people, I guess. "One zlotnikNewton" rolls off the tongue quite a lot smoother than "one to the power of minus 24 Newton".
Even though there's no phone-home, most people will have the automatic updates set to check every day. If you count the unique IPs that connect to your repositories on a single day, you'll have a reasonable ballpark figure.
Have a look at Sun's ideas on Zones and Domains. We're currently running several M-5000s.
Oh, and waaaaay before that, there were mainframes.

I'm not sure those can be compared to dedicated consoles that run on whatever size TV you have standing around.
I also suspect there's a major difference in both price and extent of the games.

Hmm, Apple in the game market, now there's an idea. Smooth and easy interfaces are already pretty standard in consoles, though, as are things that Just Work - it has been thus for years.
Like Nintendo, they'll have to come up with entirely new ways of doing things - and that *is* what they're known for. I wonder what an Apple-Nintendo joint venture would do to the game market...
Or - much as I hate to explain the joke - just like the AC above me suggesting a gerbil wheel, I was playing on the fact that Hadlock, right above the AC, specified 4mW instead of 4MW as the article indicates.
OtherOS isn't "weird", it was a vendor-provided feature. That being said, my own fat PS3 hasn't bricked from the update. Wasn't running OtherOS, though.

Yes, until she wants an app for some random, obvious functionality that isn't included.

You say that as if it's a bad thing.
Just ignore. Samzenpus seems to be under the delusion that this is his personal twitter channel.

AHA, busted !
You're on slashdot, you can't possibly have any offspring.
Not quite sure if I'm feeding the troll here, but if he's on VDSL his upspeed may well be several megabit, plenty for a highly targeted site.

If you're going to call horses solar-powered, then so are we, and so are our current cars.
Because GPU isn't processing power ?
The same is true when talking about, say, recursive structures in an object-oriented context.
Words are at their most useful in conversations with people who know what you're talking about. News at 11.
No. For hard drive marketing people, one megabyte is 1,000,000 byte, just as for ISP marketing people, unlimited is until we tire of you.

I don't think quasars were designed with accurate temporal measurement in mind. Rather a pointless comparison, really.

Not for 4mW.
