Replying to myself because I was still looking for this when I posted. Year-to-date (to June), there have been 16,920 thousand megawatthours of electricity from nuclear out of 29,244 - almost 58%.
The Microsoft announcement says "Use of the software is governed by the Windows Live ID Sign-in Assistance 6.5 Beta License Agreement accessible as a file in this download." So you can't read the terms of service without downloading (and installling?) the software.
If you scroll down further, you'll see "Windows Live ID Sign-in Assistant 6.5 beta License Terms.rtf" which can be downloaded and viewed separately without having to install the program.
I guess it depends on the bulb/brand. I bought one of the 8-packs of Philips bulbs that Costco sells, and my SO liked the color (warm light, similar to incandescents, and instant on). Now we've replaced just about all of the incandescents in our home with them. I did get a bright white one that I find better for my reading lamp though.
No, there's nothing that says they have to provide a free version at all; they just need to provide the sources with whatever versions they do offer. Since the boxed version comes with the sources, there's no problem.
Yes, it it. I have it, and I'm considering switching to DSL to save $10-15 a month. Their mail server sucks lately, and the speed really doesn't make that much of a difference in everyday use. The only thing it really makes a noticable difference is on downloading large files, like ISOs, but then you usually hit the speed cap of the server, so you don't even get the full speed. And I don't upload much, so the 1Mbit upload doesn't really matter much to me.
Since I figured the cost of the processor running at 100% was insignificant compared to the cost of the hard drive constantly spinning instead of spinning down during downtime...
You figured wrong. A hard drive typically uses ~5 watts when spinning, but the difference between a processor idling and one running at 100% can easily be 20-50 watts, depending on the CPU.
It was either the Inquirer or The Register that had an interesting article saying that these CPUs (which are MP Xeons) still have their multi-cpu support enabled, thus saving astute customers thousands of dollars over their full-priced, $3,900 Xeon counterparts.
The multi-cpu support may or may not be still enabled, but the P4 EE has a different pin count than the XeonMP, so you wouldn't be able to use it in the XeonMP boards anyway.
In the worst case, I'm moving to China to buy a Chiniese PC. Runs linux.
Yeah, because China is such a hotbed for freedom...until you do something the government doesn't like. Oh, and there's nothing stopping them from putting DRM into Linux.

Kazaa Lite is a modified version, and thus not allowed to be distributed. They don't have to claim it's their own original work for it to be piracy.
Two words: digital photography. An LCD simply can't match the true color representation a good CRT can give, which is essential if you're going to do any serious photo work on a PC.
After increasing the GAMMA Correction, I saw his speakers under the lower/center monitor. They look rather small, and their seperation is not good for locating other aircraft by listening to where the sound is coming from.
You cannot format a volume larger than 32 gigabytes (GB) in size using the FAT32 file system during the Windows XP installation process. Windows XP can mount and support FAT32 volumes larger than 32 GB (subject to the other limits), but you cannot create a FAT32 volume larger than 32 GB by using the Format tool during Setup. If you need to format a volume that is larger than 32 GB, use the NTFS file system to format it. Another option is to start from a Microsoft Windows 98 or Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition (Me) Startup disk and use the Format tool included on the disk.
I've done it myself, with and without SP1 slip-streamed, and it should have let you do it as well. Are you certain the partition was only 30GBs?

A dog won't help much when parking on a college campus.
The AP is also reporting that China is creating a Confucius Peace Prize to be given out the day before the Nobel Prize.
Ghostery is also available as a Chrome extension.
So from a sample size of 1, you can conclusively prove that SSDs are less reliable than hard drives?
The US is most in absolute numbers. In rate per 1000, Turkey has the highest rate.
Sure, if you also switch to a better codec, such as using H.264 instead of MPEG-2. However, I don't think that's what's happening in this case.

New Jersey already gets 50% of its electricity from nuclear.

Read the paragraph before it. The "third party Web site" is referring to the Verizon web site, not Yahoo, MSN, etc. This is a non-story.
I have all the DVDs, and I still watch the repeats on Adult Swim once in a while, but I'll never watch "Jurassic Bark" again. Saddest. Ending. EVER.

Any chance there'll be a webcast of the launch? I'd really like to see it.

Wrong. One HDTV stream is 19.2Mbps.

That won't make much difference.

Now might be a good time to not take investmest advice from a stranger on a website.

The limit is 32GBs.
FAT32 Formatting in Setup is an option, but is known to frequently fail or have significant errors
No it doesn't.
FAT 32 Formatting once you are in the OS requires 3rd Party wares.
Again, only if creating partitions bigger than 32GBs.
