There's no fundamental reason that would be impossible, but I suspect that would would have to have very thin walls and therefore be quite brittle, even if it is made out of the hardest substance we know of.
The other obstacle to making the space elevator is that we can't manufacture carbon nanotubes of non-microscopic length yet. And depositing single atoms at a time won't solve that problem.
The functions in the API may remain the same, but the classification and implementation may change. This is just like Apple changing the Mac Toolbox to Carbon.
On the one hand, that sounds pretty awful. But on the other hand, they're up against people who are probably often quite willing to go to even greater lengths, probably into outright criminal behavior, to avoid paying their debts. The previous story about Star38 had a lot of informative posts about the legal limits on the actions of collection agencies; they are limits to what they can do and they're lower than you seem to think.

Don't admire social engineering. Tricking information out of someone is no different than a "low-tech" con man tricking money or property out of someone.
You forgot a qualifier- massively iterative and embarrassingly parallel operations. The current generation of graphics chips are pretty much 2 or 3 previous generation designs shoved into the same core; the Geforce 6800 and ATI X800 both have 6 vertex pipelines and 16 pixel pipelines.
Yes, QT can do that, but very slowly (beachballing between updates). Apple must have decided that that behavior was preferable to WMP's style- a decision I completely agree with, since (on the Mac version at least) WMP takes up to several seconds to resume displaying video after you release the mouse.
Sweden's population density is far more uniform than the US's. The US has some extremely dense areas (major east coast cities) that probably have very high broadband adoption rates, and extremely empty areas (some states like Nevada have maybe 2 or 3 people per square mile, and it's only that high because a few large cities here and there drives up the average) where broadband is not economically feasible (or at least it won't be until large-scale wireless arrives).
I think the most useful piece of information in this article is that population per area is not a very useful metric when talking about networks.
You already subsidize water, power, and various other utilities that are used in far grater quantities by the city than the suburbs. And many people believe that Internet access should also be classified as a utility, if not a basic human right.
I *do* live in a large city, and if they wanted to blanket it with tax-supported wireless I'd be all for it. The average yearly tax increase would probably be less than a year of residential broadband.

There are a few shows I left out that were borrowed from Toonami, and some on that list migrated back to Toonami in the end. However, my point is that many of those do not suck and are not DBZ clones, and are not meant for children.
They used to divide Adult Swim into action (anime) and comedy (all the ones you listed) nights, but they seem to have abandoned this concept.
The internal Bluetooth module is available as a BTO option only.
I think the parent's point was that on previous iMacs, it was only feasible for Apple to install the Bluetooth module because it was deep inside the base somewhere and getting to it meant disassembling the machine. With the newly accessible design, inserting a Bluetooth module could be as easy as inserting an Airport card.
Sign into Apple's job site and go to job requisition ID 2142016 . You should find this:
The iPod group is looking for a Hardware Engineer. This person will be an individual contributor on a top notch team with responsibilities for the design, implementation, and integration of digital and analog electronics. The applicant should be familiar with computer system architecture and digital design. Duties include schematic capture, prototype bring-up and debugging, hardware bug tracking, functional verification, signal characterization, and manufacturing support.
The ideal candidate is someone from a consumer electronics background dealing with high volume, low power, high quality products.
Required Experience:
BS/MS EE or equivalent required.
Must have great EE fundamentals.
5+ years overall experience needed, 3+ years in a lead role preferred.
Experience in the following areas is important: system integration, digital logic, SDRAM, Flash, ASIC's, processor selection, ATAPI, various communication protocols, display types and analog integration.
Broad experience: both digital and analog.
Experience building actual products in labs.
Note that there is nothing in there about video or wireless; the parenthetical expression in the article text was added by the reporter and the video integration comment is completely out of left field. This is either extremely wishful thinking on the part of Overclockers Club or an outright fabrication.
And it will take the 800 service operator about 30 seconds to put a rule in their phone system to redirect all calls from that ANI to a dead end telling the caller they're not allowed to access the 800 service with a spoofed phone.
I mean the audio picked up by the phone's microphone being transmitted into the phone network.
If I do pay for caller-ID service, I don't think it's unreasonable to demand that it be accurate (why should people be able to call me anonymously if I have the desire and means to prevent it?) and that the phone company make efforts to keep it that way.
I presume that caller ID is sent through a signal on the line which is inaudible to humans but which is picked up by the phone or the central switchboard, and that this service works by transmitting their own fake signal to overwhelm the phone company's attempt to do so. Couldn't this scheme (and various other schemes that involve abusing the phone network like the various colored boxes) be defeated simply by placing a filter on the incoming audio signal that will only pass the range of human hearing? Then the control signals could be transmitted by a device attached further along the wire before being sent on to the phone company.
Is this site tracking entire games that have been freed (like Abuse) or games where only the *code* has been freed (Quake)? Abuse is in the public domain and anyone can post or download it; Quake's art still belongs to iD and posting or downloading the entire game, pak files and all, is a violation of their copyright.
I see a lot of people linking to abandonware sites. Abandonware is still copyright violation, and its status in that respect is no different from zero-day warez (only the arguments and justifications surrounding it are slightly different). If this site is dedicated to only tracking games that are completely and officially free, good. Maybe it will encourage game companies to free products that cannot possibly be a revenue stream.
Cable today can do postage-stamp-sized video with one other party. It cannot do true conference-calling at high quality.
Video-on-demand services are not sent over TCP/IP, they're part of the existing special-purpose digital cable infrastructure.
I'll give you the email point, but server-side email solutions (IMAP, gmail) seem to be growing more and more common. Likewise, iDisk-style "Internet disks" could always use more network capacity.
Online FPSes with 32 players or so are acceptable over current broadband, or MMORPGs that aren't so sensitive to latency. Something like Second Life is not (neglecting bottlenecks elsewhere in the system).
The system will evolve to find new uses for things. Half the things mentioned in your and my lists (and in other posts in this thread) weren't even thought to be possible when 28K modems were the fastest consumer connection available.

They'd like you to THINK it was the /. effect.

I think he means either TSR or "load at boot, consume RAM, and bog down the startup process".

I don't think you're doing it right...

6630000000/8 = 828750000 (828 MBbps)
828750000*4 = 3315000000 = 3.3 gigabytes in 4 seconds.
It may be an exaggeration, but it's not that much of one. Maybe it was a short movie
It's in Florida because that's the closest part of the US to the equator, so it's the best place for space launches.
Just remember to run inside the library and close the door before the cold air catches up with you.

That would have been truer, and made a lot more sense, if you had said "as McDonalds is to Food".

According to the cooling diagram, air is moving *down* through the case, which would mitigate any threat to the capacitors from the PSU.

Sure, if you assume that sending video streams is the only, or even the most important, thing to do with a broadband connection, which is unlikely.
