Lots of companies send you junk mail with a postage-paid reply envelope, right? If you take that envelope and stuff it with unrelated junk mail from a different company, seal it up and send it on it's merry way, the junk mailer pays the postage TWICE
C'mon dude, I can barely pay my credit card bill, much less shell out 37 cents for a stamp. I like Business Reply Mail.
I wholly support doing it to AOL, whilst helping out a worthy cause like the USPS.
This kind of link crawling isn't new at all, but is useful under certain conditions.
I can imagine my 50 users just SATURATING the T1 when their web browsers start automatically following links from CNN, Webshots, Nascar.com, Weather.com, and other work-related web sites.
We call the power company, and they give us detailed reports on how much power each site is using, and day-by-day breakdowns, comparisons with last year...
HP won't help you because you're out of warranty, IBM won't help you because they didn't make the printer OR your modem, USR says everything is fine, AOL won't help you unless you reinstall Windows from scratch and THEN install AOL 8.0...
Another, perhaps more palatable option, is the rotating shift. Just like a rotating on call schedule, one person is responsible for all backup related issues during a given week.
Mike "Did you switch the tapes today?"
Steve "Switch the tapes? You're supposed to be doing them this week!"
Linux, which is even newer than Windows and is not controlled by a single commercial entity, can be expected to have even more vulnerabilities than Windows. Hemmendinger commented, "I see a lot more stuff coming across BugTraq [about Linux] than any flavor of Unix or any Microsoft operating system." BugTraq is a popular forum for discussion of computer security vulnerabilities.
Very few of these messages are related to the Linux kernel itself. I find most of these to be about packages included with most major distributions.
So many programs get lumped into 'linux' and this is forgotten.
Imagine if EVERY time there was a patch for a Windows app, it was checked off in the 'windows' category.
Then again, there are more Windows apps than Linux...

Yet another robot lawn mower
What about the robot cartoons from the 80's?
Voltron
GoBots
Transformers
Robotech
Macros
Orbots
Then later you had UltraMan...
Anyone else?
She can cook you dinner!
Or give head!
Remember? Robots were going to do EVERYTHING in the 70's and 80's.
They were going to help us! Everything was robot this, robot that.
Bring us drinks, cut the lawn (solar power!), vaccuum....
I'm going to go read all my back issues of Popular Science, I'll find a robot lawn mower or two.
Lets say, Citibank starts getting thousands of these things. They might start NOT including postage paid envelopes.
The socket of the future at AMD breaks a new record in the x86 world with 754 pins. The Intel Xeon is based on 603 pins.
Somehow, I don't think they WANTED to use 25% more pins than Intel.
Socket 7 has 321 pins, Socket A has 462...
Pins != Performance

1,000,000 AOL CD's would be a measely 50,000 feet.
Just think, if they collected 302,860,800,000 AOL CD's they could stack them and it'd touch the moon!

Fun things to do with AOL CD's

Mozilla's FAQ on pre-fetching
It competes for bandwith against other non-Moz apps... But it isn't as if you can't turn it off.
Anyone have a link/info to the old programs that used to do this under Windows?
That was always fun in the olden days.
You'd have your Compaq or Packard Bell or Acer take a shit...
They'd send you a new hard drive, this being 2-3 years later (4-5 years if you got the EXTENDED WARRANTY)
And, since it wasn't the drive the computer originally came with, your 'Restore CD' wouldn't work! Isn't that great!!
I've got quite a few 400MB-4GB drives I've collected over there years which still run great.
On the other hand, I've gone through so many 8GB-40GB drives...
Yet another reason to like compact apps, and OS's.
you people act like there are no Linux/OSS/FSF etc etc fanatics!

I wouldn't call their interface 'good' by any means.

It's called PASSING THE BUCK

Mike "Did you switch the tapes today?"
Steve "Switch the tapes? You're supposed to be doing them this week!"
Mike "Me? This week is Marty's week!"
Marty "My week was last week! It's Dave's turn!"
Dave "What?"
The majority of people who can/want to run this kind of desktop, already do.
Then AOL would have a monopoly, just like MS has/would have.
how much do you want to bet
Rumor is if you solder this and this it'll do the same thing as a mod chip...
What are the rules for 'obscuring' products like this?
There's been a dark cloud surrounding the 'G5'...
I'm not an industry insider, but I'm sure someone here may have the scoop.
Would this be the G5? Is the G5 an entirely different chip?
By the time they get these in the new Macintosh computers....Intel will be at like 5GHz or something.
