Meanwhile Google has direct peerings (read: free peerings) at certain internet exchanges. This means Google has already a free pipe to the customers and don't need to pay them for direct peering. Of course they refuse.
Some Advice: Have a quick look at the article before posting; media compatibility is provided as there's a listing of each burning speed for the various different media types.
Yeah right, very nice and you are transmitting every page URL you visit too Google for a checkup. Same goes with the Google Toolbar (page rank check). If you can live with this, go for it!
No. Credit Cards are for everyone, not for nerds only. I know a lot of definitifely non-geeky/nerdy whatever people who order their books on amazon.de and let it deliver to Switzerland, paid of course by credit card. And there are movie tickets you can buy and print in advance with your credit card and yep, here as well, non geeky/nerdy folks are doing the same.
Again: Credit Cards are neither for geeks only nor are they "used almost never". I know, some countries are different within europe, but credit cards are here and being used a lot. A lot means over 58 Mio Visa/Mastercard Transactions in 2004 in Switzerland. Check your facts.
No they're not. They're everywhere. And yes, the rest of the world uses sometimes different systems but credit cards are used all over the world (yes, that means inclusive Europe) too.
My opinion is, that if you desire business from abroad (from an US point of view), credit card is still the best payment system as for now.
Right. For those who haven't noticed yet, slashdot is more and more way behind digg and other news sites/blogs (like engadget as you said). Said but true.
Yeah, but the big question remains: How to trust someone online? How to tell if someone is a scumbag or not? The featured website tries to accomplish part of it: They rate only the bad ones. Like a blacklist. After I read some of the practices used, I hope some of those merchants stay on them for a long long time. But: Do you trust the raters?:)
... again. The fraudulent clicks are not beeing made from a Google IP according to TFA:
Briggs said AIT is able to see where each of its advertising clicks are coming from, and in-house reports showing clicks from the same IP addresses indicate they are fraudulent.
Later on the guy seems not to see any IPs though:
"My question to them is simple," Briggs said. "Don't you think you have a right to see which IP addresses you were charged for?"
I'm sure with some serious tracking scripts any Adwords buyer should be able to monitor the IP addresses on a given keyword.
... sales for WiFi radio frequency jammers gone trough the roof.
Seriously, they rely that the cam lands somewhere still in range for a WiFi connection, sounds like roulette to me. Throw it in a bin by accident and you can write your $4800 off...
Parent is so true. Debugging a friends PHP/MySQL code in order to check why his PASSWORD() function for a simple user login does not work anymore on the productive host just, to find out that MySQL cuts of data instead of returning a big fat warning, is rather annoying. Oh and the fact that MySQL moved the PASSWORD() function to OLD_PASSWORD() and introduced another hash function in PASSWORD() with one of the latest releases in the 4.n version family is another thing to walk away.

Not in any. In my area, I see up to 7 Networks, all of them are protected.
If you think it's Wikipedia nonsense, fix it.

WTF. Vista isn't even out yet, can we please move such conspiracy theories after the release of Vista? Thanks.
Hu? IE was never dead, maybe development of IE but certainly not its userbase.

IE7 ist not available to the broad public. Why do some people point to a not-yet released product?
If you assume that companies in China do not accept credit cards, think before you post.

And that is my main reason to not go to the US until they abandon such practise. And the UK is now on my do-not-rent-a-car-list, great!
Don't forget to get out of Harry before going home today :)
Hey, you should still rewind your DVDs to avoid those rewindig fees! ;)

An airplane crash can kill both teams, the officials and staff on countless other sport events if targeted accurate enough.

While you can turn this feature off, the cell phone providers can till track you as they own and control the network.
If those services go down on the web, you should be able to go to your local bank. Problem solved.

The question remains though, whether the UN is still _less_ influenced/bought than the US.
