How about not letting any copyrighted stuff at all be transmitted over IP? That would make sure that unauthorized copying isn't done, and would make the internet TONS faster as the tubes are emptied.....
That is one reason why I hate it when a power-cycle fixes a problem in an embedded device: If I only rebooted it, what is to prevent the exact same problem from coming back in the future? Even worse when this is a fairly simple device that does something that could be dangerous, like taking in 480 volts AC in and putting out 0-480 volts at different frequencies.
I think your case it isn't that you fix the problem in Windows, you fix the symptoms of the problem, but the problem itself is still there.
That would be awesome, sue the ISPs for using your copyrighted page on the one they display with that message. Can the DMCA be of help here, where you have a front-end modification for a third party application?
It wouldn't matter if it is opt-out or opt-in if the original site hasn't allowed the ISP to do this.
Problem 1: have 2 flywheels, going in opposite directions.
Problem 2: the flywheel has about the same amount of energy as gasoline a car normally carries, right? Just make the flywheel out of something that breaks in to a ton of little pieces that gets caught by the container (as suggested by the wiki article) Anything that is energy-dense is going to have this problems, like Sony Batteries, gasoline, etc.
Yeah, high-speed flywheels are a long way off from being usable to run a car, but one of the biggest hurdles for some people is charging it fast enough. The flywheel could be made to take it, but the electrical grid is a bit more tricky.
My personal favorite non-gasoline energy transport is high-pressure air, like in a compressed air car
Yeah, what is the different between these cars and a UPS-like device in every garage? If this was really good for the power company then they would give people a discount for putting a battery-inverter thing in their house, properly connected...
Most batteries have a nominal number of charge/discharge cycles that they can go through before they can't hold any capacity any more. Why would you wear out an expensive, hard to dispose of part of a car like that?
(Unless the cars use Supercapacitors or a high-speed flywheel, in which case the only issue is transformer/inverter losses, which might be balanced by transmission losses if the usage is near to the car, in which case this could be a good idea)
Actually I think it is quite slow, similar to modem speeds. Its advantage is the range and durability of the signal, not throughput. Also, you can't encrypt anything sent over Packet Radio, since it is technically an Ameture radio band.
I love how 3 of us gave the exact same link to wikipedia...
FTA: "a slight air leak of about three pounds (1.3 kilograms) per day". I hate to break it to this reporter, but on the ISS, a pound is a large number of kilograms, since they are in microgravity. Pound is a unit of weight, and gram is a unit of mass. The conversion between them depends on the gravity that the object is experiencing, which in this case is almost none, so the 1.3 kilograms of air is almost 0 pounds.
I think the best idea is to not have an overall rating, but say how much of each category of objectionable content is in the game. The categories could be: Nudity, Sex, Violence, Blood, Swearing, with a 1-5 for little to a lot of each type.
Why does the FCC get to censor the airwaves? Just because they are "public"? Or even worse, signals that people pay for that are sent along copper, as is the case they are trying to get to here? Can police arrest me for saying "Fuck" in a public place? What part about Congress shall make no law... abridging the freedom of speech is so hard to understand?
IANAL, but I think the problem is that they would have to show that they were doing that before this request to itemize the costs was made. Otherwise they could make up anything they wanted.

One thing: Along with the change from OS 9 to OSX, Apple has also changed from POWER to IA32, which is a completely different architecture.
How well do apps for Win 95 work on an AMD64 Vista computer? What about hardware drivers? Backwards compatability is cake if you are still using the same ISA, or a compatable ISA, see PS3:PS2 as compared to Xbox:Xbox 360.
I know it is a laptop, but Wifi just isn't as fast as a gigabit/100baseT ethernet cable, even under the best of conditions, and with a bit of interference can be quite bad.
Maybe they are thinking that because of the small hard drive nobody will ever need to move data quickly?
And, no possibility to make the laptop into a wifi base-station (Yes, I have done this before).

(hopefully everyone can recognize this as satire)
I use vi when I don't want to load another OS, and emacs when I am programming, so quite often I find myself doing:
vi ~/.emacs
and the irony isn't lost on me...
or just:
1. ctrl+z
2. kill %1
(or whatever number it shows when you suspend it)

Hmm, then a game where the colors for the 2 sides was "clear" and "blaze orange" would be even more lopsided?
Um, how can it be molestation if it is consensual, and enjoyed by all parties?
Too bad they had to censor that song because of the FCC. First amendment, whats that?

If Dvorak says that it is a 'Naive Fiasco', then given how good Dvorak is at predicting the future, the OLPC is in good shape, then.

You mean something like Packet Radio
Those 3 bottles are flavor syrups, like the variety Starbucks uses to make some of the more bizzare drinks. (Rasbery/Vanilla/Cherry/etc...)

Maybe you are crazy rich, but when faced with clogged tubes, most people would call a plumber, not a senator.
Especially since the police hack could introduce other vulnerabilities into the system that makes it easier for other people to exploit.
That is one reason that you should copy discs and use the copy, and then when/if the copy wears out, you make a new copy.
