You could have said this a while ago but at this point the new DHTML experimental threaded view is wonderful. You can even change the treshold at which you browse with the toolbar on the side.

It does take quite a bit of time to load but once it's there it works great.
1 W during 1 second is about 1e15 watts during 1 femtosecond. That's a bunch of watts. A BUNCH. You can't provide that kind of power for a long period with a wall outlet. In order to provide the amount of power the North American grid consumes at all times you need - er - the North American grid.
Python is byte-compiled and executed too. That's what all the.pyc files are.
Java is as low level as PHP, and I don't know what the parent poster was referring with it being "more low level and general purpose". True, it is one of the big 3 with the 2 C's, but i'd say it's more specialized than Python. Few things make Java worthwile and console programs ain't one of them, for example. And more low level? Than what? Java is pretty much as high as you can go.
Azureus is the leading resource client because people really *must* have all the flashy graphics that show how much of a file is done in 47 shades or yellow, orange and green.

What you CLEARLY don't understand is that anything based on a false premise is not correct, and is not a science. (...) What are you doing on Slashdot if you don't understand basic scientific principles like this?
I think it's you who doesn't understand "basic scientific principles". The 1st sentence you posted is, well, wrong. It's a well-known fallacy. You can conclude many true things based on the fact that the sky is red. All you need is a consistent set of "rules" for such deductions to be made.
If you are going to pretend you are some science advocate at least get it right, and keep an open mind. Just because there are some things you don't understand, it doesn't mean they are wrong. It just means you don't understand them. Oriental cultures have been around for a while. Don't underestimate what centuries of observation of human behaviour can produce. There are some things you can know wihtout knowing how they work. I for one am not a feng-shui fan but don't discredit a thousand year old discipline just because some guy is making money out of it.
Whenever in doubt, remember Godel. There are always some loose ends.
If we were unlucky enough we could have evolved on a planet were the timing for our understanding of supermassive black holes and the annihilation of our solar system were perfectly synchronized. Actually, given the amount of different "universes" there are out there (observable universes) this is very likely to happen somewhere at some point.
That's not gonna happen. The axis of evil doesn't wan't you to know the secrets of the universe, because they are *evil*. They must be terminated. Now give me all your science budget for my military program please.
Read the parent again, a DSL/cable link can't withstand a roaring howl of SYNs. It doesn't matter how simple you serve if a few million slashdot nerds sent a single ICMP echo request to your machine in a span of 10 minutes your connection would die.
I'm in Argentina and Burger King is better than McDonald's in every single way except for fries. The burgers are way bigger, tastier and cheaper. I'm not going back the M place.
Maybe, but what if money wasn't the ultimate objective of a person's life? Can you picture that? I would teach if I could make a decent living out of it. Sadly that's not exactly easy. But I do think it's rewarding. Lots of people feel the same way (that's why they teach in the 1st place).
And on the other hand, what makes you think R&D is well paid at any level? Researchers aren't exactly billionaires.
You underestimate what the Californian market would mean to electric car development. With that kind of bazillion-dolarness potential credits will start flying and you personally will be driving to work with a joystick waay sooner than predicted. But let's also not forget the lobby power of automotive and oil ("energy") companies which will prevent this from happening for a long while.
I am not an American, but I just can't digest the fact that ARNOLD FRIKKIN SCHWARZENEGGER is the governor of California. Just how unbelievably bizarro is that??? In 1998 "AS is the governor of CA" could be used as an analogy of "pigs are flying *and* hell froze over at the same exact time". I just have to sleep now. I can't process this.
Just because it sounds like a childish prank it doesn't mean you can't get sued over it. Star Wars kid got a settlement with his "friends" for an undisclosed amount. And they were kids. And it was a video of stupid dancing.
These are a lot of grown persons, nude, with full contact data. He *will* get his ass kicked either in court or on the street.

Ok it was a bit of a stretch :) but calling Java low-level was too much for my brain to process and produce coherent output.

Actually they are replacing CFCs with Butane. Benzene is a carcinogen. You don't find it on many things because of this.
Not too different from the area of North America.
Why? Because he considers stuff from the outside of the beige box?

Much worse than that, a Slashdotting is.

You try remembering 1k digits right now.

That will narrow it quite a bit.

It doesn't compute.
You say that like Arnold Scharzenegger being voted governor of California did compute.

So I guess those commies had a point after all huh??
With the money these guys make that's just not as far fetched at it may seem. Whether they loose or win won't even make their cash-o-meter blink.
