You are also confused. Escape velocity is the velocity at which an object with no attached propulsion needs to be launched from the surface of Earth in order that the object will never fall back down to the surface due to Earth's gravity. Often explained as the velocity need for an object to reach infinite distance from another object.
It is true that you won't be orbitting at 1mph. However, if you consider the the velocity vector that is perpendicular to the Earth's surface, it is most certainly possible to reach orbit with a vertical velocity of only 1mph. Not fuel-efficient, of course.
You should maybe look around the options a bit before you complain about the OS X GUI. I admit it's not perfect. But you certainly can put the Dock on the right side of the screen without 3rd party software.
Click on the Apple (upper left of screen), go to Dock, and you'll see it.
If it was just blocking of sites of "prurient interest," I doubt there would be an issue. However, it IS blocking free speech to say that I can't go research breast cancer if I wish. Blocking of such sites is common with most filtering software.
I don't want people jacking off in a library. I do want a woman w/o an internet connection to be able to research her breast cancer. The ACLU agrees with this, as should any reasonable person.
My understanding was that if an unsynchronized packet comes into the server, some servers will ignore it, which will make the client (IE) have to time out (hence the appearance of slowness)
Note that I'm not very familiar w/ TCP; the above is what I gleaned from the article.
I'm assuming here that TiVo does give source changes back to the community. If they don't, tell me and stop reading.
Note that the "point" of the GPL (in your opintion) and the "letter" of the GPL probably differ. GPL says that if TiVo changes the source, they make those changes available. Nowhere is it stated that their hardware has to recognize an arbitrary kernel. It's completely within their rights to limit which kernels can run on the hardware they manufacture (as it is (or at least should be) within your rights to hack that hardware to allow arbitrary kernels once you own the hardware).
In short, if they provide access to their source changes, they are doing nothing wrong.
sorta. Simple mechanics: if you want to be in a farther orbit, you need to be moving more slowly compared to an inner orbit. Similarly, if you want a closer orbit, you need to moving faster than you would if you were in a farther orbit.
If you're in a given orbit and proceed to lose speed, you will move closer to the other gravitational force. Similarly, if you're in a given orbit and suddently gain speed, you will move further away and potentially leave the gravitational influence of the other body (once you've moved far enough away).
Just a clarification. Check any physics 101 textbook, you'll see that those examples match what I've said, and that's w/o external forces like drag). Maybe what I've said is what you meant; it didn't sound like it to me
I tried this on my 2 month old TiBook yesterday (running 10.2.1) with two different DVD's using Disk Copy, and neither of them would image.
I don't remember the exact error, but it was something to do with "operation not permitted". Similarly, I couldn't do an individual file copy of the files on the DVD; some of them refused to copy.
This is true. However, they could pull something like OSX and graft a different GUI and filesystem onto the kernel. Make it so that the default programs that come with this version of "Windows" doesn't contain an option to drop to command line. Make it so that one can't alter the config files that would allow a non-graphical boot.
This doable and is within the GNU public license (according to my understanding). Give back the kernel changes; keep the GUI/filesystem, etc. proprietary.
Perhaps you should learn a bit about processors before you state such assertions. It is the OS (Windows) that is responsible for the scheduling of applications. It is presumably sending the same series of instructions to an Athlon as it would a Pentium (save for certain instances where it might use specially optimized instructions).
In short, your gripe should be with Windows or with other hardware issues (lack of RAM?) than the processor.
"tied IE to the underpinning of Windows" means that some of the OS stuff that Windows can't run w/o uses components of IE, meaning that IE can't be fully removed.
Note that this does NOT preclude IE moving to other platforms.
Yes, the P4 would give you quicker access. So does an Athlon. The claim by Intel would seem to indicate that it is comparing the P4 to current processors, and we know that making the claim that the P4, by design, gives faster 'net access than its current competitors is ridiculous.
The problem w/ your option #4 is that is still presumes that the band wants to/is able to sign to any label. Generally, bands need SOME talent to be signed to an indie label.
Of course, the bands with no talent ought to have the same right to distribute as everyone else. Your option doesn't allow this.

Small nitpick: More MHz at less 'work' per MHz, while possibly driven by marketing concerns, does not equal a "shittier" design. It still works (and the fastest P4's do outperform the fastest Athlons, in general, I believe).
Also, making things run that fast is still difficult. Any design that runs that fast and can still actually do reasonable amounts of work is not especially bad.
Funny, kind of sounds like money in general. Exchange some paper or metal, which is nearly value-less in and of itself, for something else. What makes it work is the value behind the money (like the value behind the username/password)
Of course he didn't hit him. Lightsaber hits are serious; it's not like a fist-fight.
Think about the times that people have gotten hit by lightsabers. Luke - loses hand. Anakin - loses arm. Obi-Wan - minor cuts, because Dooku is toying with him, then dies, when Vader hits him. Everything else has been a death,I believe.
Therefore, it would seem that not being hit != being invincible. I mean, even Luke held off Vader in RotJ, and I don't think anyone is going to argue that Luke was a master along the lines of Dooku or Yoda or Vader at that point in time...
So it would appear that we again have a case of a company believing that they have a legal right to preserve their business model in perpetuity.
This is, of course, the same thing that the RIAA thinks: they've made lots of money in a certain fashion, therefore they are OBVIOUSLY entitled to the continued existence of that revenue stream.

The Gamecube's graphics card is branded ATI, but was designed by some other company (ArtX springs to mind, not sure...)
That company was then purchased by ATI.
I can think of something the masses properly rejected that most of us here should know about:

You know, the DVD-rental thing from Circuit City. It cerainly lost them some money.

Sure, simple EE knowledge. Power = Voltage * Current. 50-some watts, 1.25V (ok, so they're approximate number, give them +/- 25%). Current follows.
Yes, that's the truth.

Pure rubbish.
Which is, at least partially, why a large portion of the tech industry (company stances, not individual techies) opposes such legislation.
