Except that the second implication is incorrect (I think), because there is television that's free and free of commercials (public television). Not that it's any good..
Personally, I'd be for this system if (and only if) subscribing to the non-ad version completely removes all advertising. But that is never going to happen.
You keep using that phrase. I do not think it means what you think it means. If and only if (abbreviated iff) refers to "(If p, then q) and (if q, then p)", where p and q are propositions on the left- and- right-hand sides of the statement. People use it somewhat incorrectly for emphasis.

The meal started as a lovefest for Gmail and Google's Paul Buchheit, with Microsoft's Kevin Doerr (no relation to the venture capitalist) and Yahoo's Ethan Diamond 'agreeing that much of the current excitement in the email world can be traced back to last year's debut of Mr. Buchheit's Gmail.'

Crew? Not a chance. There is absolutely no reason to send crew on a mission like this. It would just complicate a mission that computer controls could already do more than well enough
I agree completely! It's so stupid to send humans on this thing, because, you know, NASA has never written any bugs in their software!
Imagine what would happen if this thing decided to take a speedy course towards earth...
Power consumptions != SPL.. lots of aspects affect the output levels of a subwoofer, a major one being enclosure size.. When the enclosure becomes smaller, you need more power to deliver the same SPL (see this subwoofer.
Because the rotary sub requires an infinite baffle installation, it really doesn't need all that much power, and the design appears to be pretty darn efficient.
Wait, hold on a second. I'm assuming that video iPods use some derivative of Quicktime, and Quicktime AFAIK has no DRM. Even if it did--or does--can this software translate over the embedded DRM? I think I hear lawyers madly typing up lawsuits.
With a name akin to Swift's famous "A Modest Proposal", I can believe that Thompson thought it to be satire all along. However, the bit about promising to donate to charity was uncalled for.
Just remember: As long as you downplay your own humor or insightfulness, you'll get modded up.

Right, but I would really, really hope that said volume control simply reads data, like what the speedometer gets, and sets volume according to that. It's not like changing the volume slows your car down or anything...
Correct me if I'm wrong (and I may very well be, as it's been over a year since I took cryptography), but isn't AES somewhat flawed? What are the reasons that it's used for page and FS encryption?

IIRC, Apple's been working on Macintels and OS X86 for years now. They just managed to keep it really, really quiet.
