Figure servers per sq ft and add up their total datacenter sq footage. Googles a bit harder due to changing strategy over their current server lines but a good guesstimate shouldn't be too hard.
Uh, almost all of them work just fine in Firefox 3.5 Beta 4 on my ancient Thinkpad T42. Monster's animation speed was about the same but had slightly more frequent pauses in Firefox, since the code is optimized for Chrome and not for Firefox that's not too bad a result for Firefox.
Level 3's resolvers were VERY slow earlier this week, to the point where our IDS system noticed it. I've generally been glad to use them when an ISP screws up their DNS but it IS a free service and you can't expect great performance from it for that reason.
I would say PROBABLE illegal arrest. Since the Loomis employee was not an employee of the property owner or the merchant in control of the space they would not get off under merchants privilege shield laws and the Loomis employee had no reason to suspect that a felony had been committed and any offense would not qualify as a breach of the peace (in fact the threat by the security guard would surely qualify as a breach of peace). If I was this guy I would get witness statements and ask the prosecutor to press charges for false arrest or kidnapping. Probably wouldn't go anywhere but it would be nice to see what the prosecutor had to say. Would also be interesting to file a report with the citizens complaint department of the police department for the unwarranted detainment and transportation.
Bingo, it was the explosion in animated GIF's and especially javascript ads that really did it for me. I'm very ADD so those kind of ads have a very high chance of distracting me even if they have an infinitesimally small chance of influencing my purchases.
Oh, and the solution to this tag is obviously a greasemonkey script to strip the tag =)
Actually if you are CAUSING interference in the ISM band and you are not a licensed operator (HAM) on that band then I DO have recourse. Just because the band is unlicensed doesn't mean you have carte blanche to intentionally interfere.
I don't think the beta radiation is a problem because the electronics already need to be shielded from interstellar radiation so it's unlikely they would need any additional shielding.
Yeah you make a VERY important distinction. I have no problems with a non-disclosure agreement and in most situations no problem with non-solicitation agreements, but I think almost ALL non-competes should be invalid. Unless you are selling your company and signing a non-compete with very specific criteria I really think the idea of a non-compete is unfair on its face. Unfortunately I learned the hard way that Ohio is very pro-employer when it comes to interpreting non-competes and because they almost put out on the street once I will NEVER sign another one. At my current employer I don't even have a formal non-disclosure agreement, just some vague language in the employee handbook that I have to sign each year.
You're another idiot that thinks the CRA is to blame? Let me give you a hint, it wasn't. It was the fed leaving credit too loose for way to long combined with the greed of the banking system and lax regulation. Less than 20% of all subprime mortgages were even insured by Freddie and Fannie, only a few percent of those were due to CRA provisions. All of the rest were made freely and knowingly by banks that thought they could make large profits and handling fees on mortgages that they securitized and sold off no matter the credit worthiness of the recipients of those loans.
I don't know about that, just earlier today I was reading a post from a slashdotter from Norway that said cellphone modem connections don't count as broadband by some technical definition yet the Verizon Rev A, AT&T 3G and Sprint 3G (not to mention their pilot 4G) network all fit his definition. Cost is still high, especially when you consider the low 5GB caps but with a modern smart phone the US networks are plenty advanced. Personally I love an OS 4.5 Blackberry and Safari on the iPhone 3G is very cool for pages that Opera mini doesn't parse well.
Sun released it under a license that got along just fine with BSD which is arguably more a more liberal license than GPL so I hardly follow your point.
Of all the expenditures the government wastes money on the one I care least about is paying those who actually defend our country. Not only that but it's one of the few powers explicitly granted to the federal government and one of the few that needs to be federalized.
People died young of horrible diseases for millennia. The modern germ theory had its first proof in 1875. Even with modern knowledge people routinely do ignorant things like spend large amounts of time with farm animals unnecessarily resulting in things like the current outbreak of swine flu. Hell my aunt who is very intelligent, speaks four languages fluently and has traveled around the world was ignorant enough to want to hand feed a wild raccoon.
Latency on the Rev A network is generally 100-150ms even with a marginal signal for me, worse than landline broadband better than dialup. You might not want to play a twitch FPS on it for most other things it's fine. Upload bandwidth is a bit low at 300Kbps but my cable was that low until last year so it's definitely usable.
Yes, there is. The waste gets on the plant, the waste contains waste born illnesses, the chicken eats the waste contaminated plant and becomes a carrier/host for the infectious agent, you eat the animal and YOU become sick. There's a reason we don't feed animals meat anymore, it leads to a circle of infection that is MUCH more likely to end in food-born illness for us.
Some people still care about sound quality, like me =) My front's are 45lb 4' tall floor standers, however my rears are 6.5" 3 way's that are only 4.5" deep and produce fairly good surround sound.
From the numbers a quick google search brought up the Netherlans has ~60% of employment from small and medium businesses, in the US it's closer to 50% and the definition of SME's is slightly larger in the US with a cap at 500 employees versus 100 in the Netherlands.
Continuity testing is NOT sufficient for gig+ speeds and even if you do pass a real tester like a Fluke there's little guarantee it will stay that way due to the way the spade connectors on DIY cables tend to work loose over time.
When I got my first CDRW drive disks were $25 a piece and today they run about $.10 so just because a technology launches at an expensive price point doesn't mean it can't be a success. If they can show that the media is durable then it's going to do well with their initial target customers because the competition just isn't reliable enough for studios.
Sorry but it only takes one bad handmade cable to blow every penny you saved about 1000x over. The only time I use anything that's not factory cut is IDF->cube runs and those are done by professional installers who still have a couple percent runs that need to be reterminated after the certification team goes through and finds the runs that don't meet spec. On top of that the blade style plugs that DIY'ers use are basically guaranteed to work loose over time causing an eventual fault that is hard to diagnose because it comes and goes as the cable moves around. All in all my real world experience shows it just isn't worth the hassle for a few dollars a cable. I wouldn't advocate paying $20 per patch cable but buying decent factory made cables just makes sense.

The 11G RAC whitepaper config is Solaris on SPARC so I have no clue what you are talking about.

You might have forgotten those couple of large explosive devices used to attack a number of highly populated buildings.....

That's because for games like Crysis the development cost of the graphics assets easily outstrips all the other costs of production combined.

You can't make your T1 any faster by having "good" cables.....
But you CAN make it slower with bad ones which is kind of the point....
