The Buy Now feature is something that EVERY brick and mortar store uses to attract people. As many many people have stated, the fact that this takes place online shouldn't make a 27.5 million dollar difference.
How about one on using search engines efficiently? I'm sure all of us here have mastered the art of skimming google results quite quickly by looking for certain keywords in titles and body snippets. Even little things like adding that magical extra word that narrows results from 50 pages to 5.
Are most of those set by default? I never changed any of those settings, and I don't recall any webpages taking over my browser as some of those settings seem to imply. Or am I misunderstanding you?
At UCD, they have IE and Mozilla both installed but I doubt many people use Mozilla. If you don't know what it is, you'd choose IE.
As for on campus email, most people use UCD's internally written webmail, geckomail (which is actually quite good). Well, it might be a modified version of something else, but it doesn't seem like it. Of course pine is still available.
I think the server would die before getting close to 145mbit..
If it's a game, get it on fileplanet, ign and such. Places like ign even have a built-in p2p client for people to use if downloads are heavy for a particular game.

I was about to say, "But what about people like my dad? The carpenters and builders of America??"
Then I realized, "Oh.. but a 2x4 isn't really 2"x4".. So why not just quietly convert everything to metric and not tell any of them.. They won't know the difference! *shhh*

This isn't a troll... well, I guess it is, but it's a valid question.
What's the benefits of hemp for making products? It sure seems to me that pro-hemp people work hard to make hemp work in a variety of situations not because hemp would do the job well, but just to say "look! you can do it with hemp! hemp == good!!".
If it really is good in a particular situation and I'm way off, I'd like to hear..

No one's working on it yet. Go vote for it to show you want it done.

Find an Apple II Emulator and the ROM for it.. Something about finishing the game in less than 15 minutes takes the fun out of it. =)

Are you referring to the workers or the shoppers? I've been to a couple Fry's stores and have yet to see sales people that know their stuff.

Wouldn't pr0n 69 be more fitting?

I think he's referring to when you crimp the connectors on. There are two standards you can use.

Um.. Or you can add a heater.
Trust me.. The O'Reilly book isn't any good. I tried using it right when it came out for a summer internship project.
Perhaps it's because theses authors write books about clusters but never had to build one for any particular reason.

Currently 35 people are leaving their completed downloads open for others to leech, and 5 are currently downloading.
The log file shows 2336 people loaded the torrent file, but I don't know how many actually completed it.
I've never done this before, but I thought I'd give it a shot:

Sorry.. That was really bad.
