I'd bet that most of this increase is due the switch by Verizon to force Bing as the default search provider.

Head over to Stack Overflow -- a website for answering programming questions ( including C++ ). I found that I've learned a great deal by simply trying to answer the questions as posted and researching them if I don't know the answers. If you have time, you might also check out either stats.stackexchange.com or math.stackexchange.com, sites specific to statistical and mathematical questions respectively. Ps. If you haven't read "Joel on Software" you might also check it out.
I get my car serviced at two different Honda dealers(I commute a lot). One fixes exactly what I need to get the car back on the road and usually is cheaper. The other Honda dealer fixes what my car needs and then says, "You know, your car needed a new timing belt. The water pump usually goes about the same time. You should probably replace it also because if you don't and the bearings seize - it will tear the teeth out of your new belt and you'll have to pay for this all over again." I'm not talking about the regular mechanic who tells me that my brand new radiator needs new hoses again and I should get my brake pads replaced and my oil changed.
This small analogy to cars is my attempt at demonstrating the necessity that IT support should fix what is broken, but IMO it is their duty to inform the customer that their computer will become infected with spyware again and again if they don't set up a firewall and antivirus. AND especially if you can point the customer to a website of free Ad-aware, Spybot, etc. you should.
AND it is the balance between offering only those things that a customer needs/has a chance of buying vs. mentioning all of the different products available and the possible upgrades to pump up your tech inflated ego.
If this were an advertisement, the least they could do is provide enough banwidth for the first 1,000 of us to see the site....

...one issue is that all of this information is not currently available in one place and that many simply object to government accumulating so much personal information.
Well. Hell. Now I know which database login I'm gonna crack next.
Just to mention. The Honda ad was done in a "single" shot. The camera never cut away. It just took 606 tries at that single shot before every bearing, wheel, wiper blade, and drop of oil was perfectly aligned to yield one of the most complex ads ever filmed.
McBride: No. Whose making money off Linux? Red Hat barely had its head above water and it's right back down again. If you look closely, a lot of the Linux distributors have gone out of business on this model. You have to ask, who is making money?/* Translation: McBride: I'm real pissed because

Linus Torvalds regulates the trademark and determines what goes in and out of the kernel. So who is the policing agency that checks the code and makes sure there aren't IP violations?

This is the first book that we ask our interns to read.

So yeah. I'm a PSU student. They've just installed firewalls everywhere on campus to block out everything, but internet, napster, im.
No IM file transfers. No incoming ssh connections. No Network games. No Kazaa. etc.
PSU signed a deal with napster because one of the board members is on the RIAA commision. There is also some administrative link to Napster.
The big problem is that what they've put in place basically says "We don't trust you. At all."
We've had bandwidth restrictions for two years (1.5G up/ 1.5G down)
