When you speed your principle activity is moving form point A to point B, the way many do it does not obeying the law, but speeding is not often the intended ends. If speeding itself were the goal of most drivers, still not sure I'd be all for outlawing driving, but I'd be for a massively higher gas tax.
The New Yorker review of the Kindle ended with him reading everything on his iPhone because the Kindle was so difficult to read at night/during the day/because of the lower contrast. He complains a little that the iPhone screen is too small. The article really reads now like a call for the iPad.
So, you are going to add a filter to an airplane engine? It is not even clear that we have filters fine enough to capture this stuff, much less do so at a fast rate.
So, they did the right thing. What is the big deal?

Let me give it to you one more way. Use a server for every 1k employees. Put two 2 TB disks raid 1 in each server (to keep from wasting network on HD access), Now you have about 1.8 GB for each employee at less than $20 per person. Add tapes, moving them around, another $20/person. Now, you've probably saved a few hours per person per year in unnecessary management of emails, if they get paid over $20/hour ($40k/year), you are doing good (this also assumes that your old email system was free).

If Google can give be several GB for just some pennies on advertising, I'd imagine my work could do the same for not that much.
If your analysis is correct at your workplace, you probably need a new admin.
I think they actually answered this two ways: (1) with the same space of a swappable 4h battery, they were able to fit in a non-swappable 8h battery--just as good as a swappable battery with a backup, but no swapping. (2) Only 5% of consumers want swappable batteries. But even from this, they took out the ones that only want to get to 8h, which is probably over half.
That said, I'd love to see a Pismo style laptop--it was very, very sturdy and had that great DVD/battery bay.
My (Apple) Pismo has a bay that can be a second battery or the CD/DVD player. With the second battery in place, it worked for 8-10 hours (wireless on-off). the thing is still usable too, has airport, 500 MHz G3, 14" display. Plus Apple made a great external charger for it too.
But maybe you'd rather compare what Apple currently offers with what IBM... oh, sorry.
I have one of these too, it would be really great if the power cord didn't die a few weeks after delivery or Asus didn't deny that my serial number even exists.
Don't forget $30 for a third party power cord for that Asus.

That mentality really bothers me. I really hate organizations that give you 50 MB quota on your email. How much does a GB cost versus an hour of your employee's time?
yes. There would be (a) massive emissions of x-rays and (b) physical dilation that would tear you apart. There would be other problems too like you could not see or communicate with those further our from you and those further in than you would not be able to see or communicate with you. If you could contact someone, they could not respond--so there are no working servers in a black hole.
But you have to remember the theory that said we might get eaten by a black hole didn't predict that it would happen right away. It could take years or millions of years for the black hole to get big enough to start to eat atoms. From there... it would all happen really really fast.
I guess that if we did get eaten by a black hole, we might understand the Fermi paradox.
I don't deny that OSS alternatives exist. However, there are pdf documents that they don't layout correctly--so I need acrobat reader. Sometimes even LaTeX can break them and jstor is really likely to.
If you have an Adobe application, you must think having it is better than not (or else, what is it doing there). I keep the reader around because it can do the most complicated pdfs better than any other reader. Annoying that this is how the pdf standard is... I keep a copy of word around for the same reason.
You do have to wonder why it would want to do this. If it already has the box rooted, why not just do what it wants? If it doesn't how did it overwrite an application? In OS X you have to type in an admin pw for it to update, but I don't think it could overwrite an application without being root, so I don't know why it would care.
You could take care of that by having the CD have a "approve purchase" application and then you could just reboot once a day or so. Still annoying. The USB key is, of course, no solution to the possibility of having the PIN and credential skimmed if the credential gets run through the processor. The only way the USB key adds serious protection is if it has (1) a RSA style random number generator or (2) a chip that decrypts some text, hashes it and sends that out. o/w it's all just wasting your time.
You could use token authentication and just allow the disk to keep a cookie that logs them in with minimal interaction (either nothing or a short password like their pin).
Also, just thought you might like to know... Et al. is short for et alii and translates literally as, "with others." etc. is short for et cetera and translates roughly as, "with other objects". There is a people/things distinction. So if the other stuff is people, "et al." and if the other stuff is things, "etc.".
I worked as a physicist for a long time and I met very few really great statisticians and almost none who were good but not great statisticians.
The problem with physical scientists is that they don't really need statistics--they just draw lines based on tons of data and "noise" is just a passing problem because you just do everything over again until s/n is huge.
In contrast, social scientists deal with a million times more issues: in situ experiments, non-normal noise, censored data, survey non-response, etc.

They are really smart about how they wine though: they say, "we need this or we won't be able to create all these jobs."

How, exactly, do you think that government regulation leads to anti-competitive behavior?

how is a seeded password with a pw added on the end not 2FA?
