I bought a netbook for my wife. Loaded it up the first time and Vista took up over a gig of RAM on a machine with a 2GB limit. I wiped the OS and installed XP. it took up a nice 60Mb or RAM after tweaking. Your 260-270Mb of ram usage is insulting to me.
Even if you asked all members of the household to swear an oath and testify that it was not them, the question then becomes: did one of them lie and was there an outside party involved.
I recall a recent event where a neighbour hacked into a wireless router and used it to download child porn. It was only by sheer luck that he was found out.
I had an idea while reading this. There is a (mostly) historically accurate game called Europa Universalis III. Though it is too complex for a 4yr old to handle, it is suitable for 8+ year olds. I also pointed them to wikipedia if he had questions. I was astounded to find that the kid played the game for an extended period of time but also followed up on the history of Europe on wikipedia. The last time I talked with him, he told me all about the Polish-Lithuenian common wealth, and how vassalization works. Albeit his knowledge was skewed towards the strategies of the game, it was still accurate. It definitely made his Polish grandfather happy.
To state the obvious: Chernobyl, or Czernobyl as is referred to in the polish language, is a very well known nuclear disaster site. Those crafty Polish are starting to make a name for themselves in the computer industry.
People say we need another space race to kick off another golden age of technological achievement. Well, this planet seems like a fairly lucrative goal considering it's the equivalent of a 'new route to India'. We just need a Christopher Columbus to spear head this endeavor.
I personally prefer using NVidia's CgFX framework. It combines the syntax of GLSL and the awesome Effects framework from DirectX. It's merely a personal preference.
You can always pick up a book that deals with OpenGL extensions. The GL_NV_gpu_program4 shading extension is just one of the geometry extensions you can use.
Once you start hitting the Obvious Targets - RapidShare, MegaUpload, etc - the content will be pushed further underground such as Torrent websites. This is the same thing that we saw with ThePirateBay when it was under fire. Mininova and other websites took over as the leading Torrent hubs.
Say a developer uses a number of 3rd party libraries (ie. Boost, TinyXML, etc), who will be pay damages if the program crashes in a bad way? The developer for not trying to catch 3rd party crashes, or the 3rd party for writing in bad code?
Moreover, the people that want to download a ton of stuff, will opt for the connection with the higher Cap. If the point of the cap is to curb overzealous downloading, why would you want to give the highest bandwidth allotment to the people that want to download the most. This is counter to the purpose of caps, IMO.

Is it me, or are the people at QT trying to make QT into something more than it should be. I always though of it as a GUI library.
Next step, QT OS!
..It doesn't matter. When you drop an iPad, it's costly to replace. But I'm just preaching to the choir now...
The SO guys should grab that domain name.
The Pandaren have been in warcraft lore for quite some time. It would be an uphill struggle for Dreamworks.
Skadoosh!

XP does everything windows 7 can on her laptop.

You just proved the original poster's problem. It has nothing to do with party, it has to do with representation.
Perhaps the same way you power the starter motor to turn your engine over.

Speaking of exhaust, Why don't they use the heat generated by it to power a small generator that can regenerate the batteries.
Bullshit.
DSN == Deep Space NEIN!!!!
I agree. They are essentially DOING THEIR JOB but with the added efficiency of Google Earth. I don't see a problem here.
Regardless, it will be a smashing success.

I would like to subscribe to your news letter.
The goggles! They do nothing!

Trying to silence the masses is impossible.
BlueRay might catch on in the Game Console or PC markets because it can store a TON of data. As for TV, I'm happy with my DVDs.
