Yes. Slashdot - a place with noone but maths geeks with no other purpose in life than achieving the highest possible Erdos number. (who's this Kevin Bacon anyway...?)
Not if your external disk is USB 3.0. Firewire 800 = nearly 800 mbit/s, USB 3.0 peaks at 3.2 gbit/s (5gbit/s before removing protocol overhead).
An external USB 3.0 SSD drive smokes any previous external disk.

2. Create a custom skeleton suit based on x-rays
3. Pass through security wearing skeleton suit

I could probably come up with 50 book recommendations for you, but to keep things simple:
Get a better feeling for OO design. I'd suggest "Head First Design Patterns"
As many others have suggested, grab a copy of "Effective Java, 2nd ed". Read a few items now and then, it'll improve your understanding of the language tremendously.
As you read these books, come up with a hobby project where you actually implement something.
Jacobson proposes that content — such as a movie, a document or an e-mail message — would receive a structured name that users can search for and retrieve. The data has a name, but not a location, so that end users can find the nearest copy.
There's a name for that "name" -- a URI.
Actually that sounds more like a.torrent file to me (no specific location for the data). In any case, I fully agree with your sentiments - this is a vision of the future based on a lack of understanding of the present technology. Good luck to the "scientists" with getting "rid" of DNS/IP/what have you in 11 years - it's been 11 years since IPv6 was standardized and we're still a long way off from having that in place.
He already has a windows license. The only reason for keeping the Windows box alive is the quilting software - with virtualbox the windows box can be retired all together and he can use the existing license for the virtualbox install.
I stream video and audio content to my PS3 via TVersity (and MediaTomb on a linux box) all the time. There's never any transcoding involved for files that the PS3 natively supports.
How exactly is a Windows 7 machine supposed to serve alien formats to a PS3? The ones "tested" in the article are all natively supported. There's no way for the PS3 to play back content in formats it doesn't support unless the host computer transcodes the media.
Slashdot Mirror
Interesting concept. Or maybe it's just a subsea cable.
more like "iD releases tech demo in guise of a game, marketed and sold to consumers for 60 bucks"
In that context harsh critics are righly deserved
"Evangelical scientist"

Looking at the table presented in the article, their conclusion seems a bit odd...
Fallout: New Vegas - Downloads: 962,793 Avg. rating: 83.7
TRON Evolution - Downloads: 496,349 Avg. rating: 59.5
Starcraft 2 - Downloads: 420,138 Avg. rating: 89.5
"Metacritic Scores explain 10% of the variance in the unique peers per game on BitTorrent,”. I guess the remaining 90% is just noise then...?
the thing is that the company this guy used to work for is most likely the copyright holder in this case

slightly painful if you have to revoke it...
RTFA - this is decentralized, there is no centralized hub which registers/keeps track of millions of users, hence no siren call to heed

you must be new here... it should be more like:
DUP3!
1. Post dupe on Slashdot
2. ????
3. Profit!
In soviet russia you dupe slasdot!
From the release notes of the crack:

then I guess this one has been in the cooker all along
Well, definitely sounds interesting but there's nowhere to buy this thing it seems. Amazon's stock is depleted and I can't find it anywhere else...
And if you actually want to read Ben Rometsch blog post you can find that here

Jeez, whatever happened to peer reviews...
The latest version of RHEL/CentOS (5.2) is based on Fedora 6, so the OP is still correct.
Zoho is mentioned as an alternative in quite a few places. Haven't tried it myself, but you might want to give it a go here.
This review shows only a 1-2-3 ranking for each test, so there's no sense of the quantitative level of improvement.
In other words a totally subjective opinion with no numbers/statistics to back it up, also known as Totally And Utterly Useless.
(...)That will motivate a lot of people to upgrade.
Uhm, you mean force a lot of people to upgrade
