As I said in another comment, he didn't even hold the charge times constant. His test was completely useless. This review doesn't help show the sticker is useless.
I agree of course the sticker is garbage, but his testing was quite poor. His four tests used 3 different charging times. The first two trials he did an overnight charge. The third test was the official charge time. The only test with the sticker was 2 hours longer than the official charge time. If you look at his test results, The battery lasts longer with the sticker than a shorter charge but not as long as with a longer charge. He didn't really prove anything. Just that a shorter charge with the sticker isn't as good as a longer charge without the sticker.
What you have said is true except for using the backspace. As he says in the article google caches the results using javascript to reduce server and database load.
While I do agree with your $100M figure you can't compare the x-prize to the shuttle at all. Just going up 100km is child's play compared to an orbital flight.
(The statistics above are extracted from W3Schools' log-files, but we are also monitoring other sources around the Internet to assure the quality of these figures)
You can see that the users aren't just people who go to W3schools website. It is still higher than most other sites browser stats though and as they also say on this site take it with a grain of salt.
StartupMonitor has a yes/no popup dialog box whenever something tries to change your registry to load on start up. You don't have to search for anything after the fact.
If you go to whatismyip you get a website that displays your IP address. If you search msn and google for that site the search results show the IP address of the bot that indexed that site.
For google I get: crawl-66-249-64-167.googlebot.com [66.249.64.167]
for msn I get: fj1011.inktomisearch.com [66.196.91.16]
and msn beta I get: 65.54.188.83 (can't find associated domain)
So we can tell that at least this result wasn't stolen from Google.
I have bought 50 dvd+r for 34$ CDN from tigerdirect.ca and you can get some other brands brands for cheaper. This makes your argument even more true. Also you can get DVD burners for as low as 50 to 80 CDN depending on the week. I got an external 4x+rw USB 2 burner from plextor for 139 CDN with a 50 US rebate (deal is gone now).
Isn't the Kerry election call center all volunteers? It might be something different but I know a lot of the calls the Kerry party are making are unpaid volunteers who could be calling from anywhere if they wanted to.
My 1.4 GHz Pentium M Thinkpad (R40) also gets 6 hours when using the low power settings. It runs at around 600 MHz which is more than enough for most tasks.

...Telecine is a method for producing 29.97fps DVDs from 24fps material: essentially extra copies of existing fields are interlaced together to create the extra frames needed each second...
Correct me if i'am wrong, but 24fps to 29.97fps is sampling rate up conversion and doesn't involve interlacing at all. After the up conversion is complete the fields can then be (re)interlaced if you want. DVD is usually progressive scan though IIRC.
Google has way more than a couple thousand users. Some people are saying over a million (still a long way to go though compared to hotmail and yahoo). Right now people who have it are getting basically as many invites as they can give out. I get 6 new ones around 12 hours after I send out my last one. I haven't given any out for a couple of days as I have asked almost everyone I know. Although it is still invite only, the number of gmail users is increasing rapidly. Check ebay, accounts can be bought for less than a dollar and there are around 6000 auctions. I haven't used ebay for any invitations but it has been fun watching the average price for a gmail account.
You can already get 108mbps wireless routers and cards so it isn't a problem. Although I know a single computer can't get 108mbps over this connection faster versions will come out. Also note from the article that the 200mbps is only for very short distances

I didn't get anything. All the bad javascript was blocked by these filters:

The only time I ever get a pop up in firefox is when I disable adblock to view a page that isn't loading properly and then forget to turn it back on.

Press j or k to go down or up. You might need to enable keyboard shortcuts under settings.
You are still in the latest 10% to sign up. wait until it passes around 820,000 and you will get mod points.
For point 7, my USB 2 hard drive takes about 1 minute to transfer 700 MB. USB 2 can transfer at 480 Mbps.

It would be easier to just use all raw images with no compression artifacts. After the fake photo is complete then it can be compressed if desired.

You still won't have enough space to install anything though.
