But it also runs in starup... I use tools like msconfig, autoruns, Process Explorer, Security Task Manager, BootVis etc. I know exactly which processes run on my system, so if something new shows up I know it did the bad thing.
I bet they will still place something in startup. This seems to be the theme with almost any popular windows sofrware. Windows seems to be a constant battle of everyone vs Microsoft for as much user attention as possibe.

I agree, that is mostly what I use my domain for. Another thing to consider is that webhosting has gotten loads cheaper in the last 6 months. The company I host with offers 10G/200G xfer and all the features for 3.95 a month.
"Our network is running at 100 megabits a second, which is 10 times faster than normal broadband connections" And also 10 times slower than GigE. It took them 4 years to build it, GigE equipment was expensive back then.
Lets say you did pay sales tax, NY is 8% for everything but groceries, so say 5%: your numbers would be 52% of taxable, and 34% of non-taxable. You also have to consider that you are going to have to pay taxes on 401K after you withdraw the money. Also not listed is the taxes utility companies charge you, eg. about $10 of your cell phone bill every month is tax, same with a POTS line. If you added those taxes it would be like 55%/37% (with employer match of comp/SSI 57%/39%). I don't have non taxable income, I make about $40G/year, of that I keep maybe $20G to live on.
I think they should do away with almost all of the ~40 taxes people pay every month and raise federal and state taxes so people have an idea of what they are actually paying. Instead of employers matching comp and SSI they need to add that to the paycheck and double the tax for employees.
It would make people aware of how much money the government is actually spending.
I pay what I am supposed to pay, I work on the books and there is no way around it. I don't have an accountant, and there is nothing I can do short of declaring my home a non profit orginization. You do bring up a good point though, many people in the upper 3% of the population find ways around the system leaving middle and middle-upper class to pick up the check.
I also pay insurance and 401K since they are not included in my taxes, so I live off only a fraction of my income. It is a good thing I don't have student loans or I'd be living with my parents still.
Between State tax, Federal tax, Social Secirity tax, Town tax, Property tax, and sales tax I pay something like 45 - 50% of my income in tax, plus I still pay taxes on all utilities and gas I put in my car.
They can't let me have internet and VoIP without paying taxes on that too?
I do increase my mouse sensitivity but there is a happy medium between getting on large targets fast, and being able to dial into precision distance shots. I use a corded optical Intellimouse Explorer
So why is a USB mousepad any better than a USB mouse? I don't use a mouse pad because none of them provide a large enough mousing surface. When you are gaming you can't pick up your mouse and move it to the other side of the pad or the other guy kills you. This wireless mouse is not much good as it is useless as soon as it leaves the mouse pad.

230mph Electric Car
·
· Score: 1
They use electric heat for the back window defroster but not for the heater itself. And if the cars pulled power directly from the grid it might be a different scenario, instead they use huge (expensive) battery banks with long refuel times that lose charge over time.
The idea of using 100% electric cars have been thoroughly written off and you are calling me the idiot? You are looking at a $315,000 car man.
We would better to focus on using clean energy for our existing grid and improving existing hybrids.
The entire bottom of the car is lined in batteries, they make up the floor! Powering a 230 MPH electric sports car takes a bit more power that the one that turns over your starter twice a day, and even that one is pretty heavy.
It would actually be easier to just exchange the car with a charged one or build the entire thing on a hot swapable frame (and still pass crash tests).
Also to accommodate the acronymics needed this car only seats people shorter than 5'10" (178 cm) and it sits unreasonably low to the ground for real-world driving conditions. It also costs $400,000.
How are you going to produce the electricity needed to power this 600kW beast? Diesel locomotives and fossil fuels? I am also sure the track version of the car has things like heater, AC, CD players, sound systems, power seats, all removed to reduce weight and power. Also, in cold climate this car has to work to produce heat, where traditional cars have a natural heat source.

What is new about pliable solar sells? What about this jacket for instance?

Because we all know the CLI is faster, even when you don't have a keyboard.
You left out the best one: "The Employable Liberal Arts Major"
It has been this way for as long as I have been visiting slashdot.
What would be so bad about Email masking?

I'll have to try it later.

FYI, the company that made Kazaa also made Skype.

Only a fool pays that much in taxes.

That's because you can buy an entire PC for the cost of a Treo.

It rated only 2 positions below help desk tech, all my science teachers in shool seems to like their jobs.
Especially in gaming these checksums are needed to prevent people form modifying the files to cheat online.
