You do, of course, have to pay to defend yourself if sued. One assumes Google can afford it, can you?
Ever connect to your home account from work? Leave a PuTTY window open all day? Remember, it's a judge with a law degree who'll be making the decision, not a geek with a BSCS.
Unless you're extremely careful about documenting how & when you spent time on your personal project that you're working on in your own time, chances are Google owns that too (based on the IP agreements I've read in the Valley).
Did you really expect them to say that it was more expensive? The TCO calculations can be strongly influenced in either direction by carefully choosing what to measure, and, more importantly, what not to measure.
Actually, the biggest reason SMS is so popular is cost. In most of Europe and Asia, the cost of a text message is a fraction of the per-minute charge for a voice call.
not the other way around. If enough consumers clamor for web-enabled mobile devices and sites that support them, then companies will create/modify their sites to accomodate the customers. This is Business 101 stuff.
Insignificant in the MTBF calculation. Ask a hw engineer. The rotational assembley that spins the platters (the speed of which is constant) is by far the biggest failure mechanism.
You should always have a dedicated partition for your temp files and swap file. It's tempting to actually put this on a separate physical drive to reduce the wear and tear on the main drive, but the disadvantage is that upgrading to a larger hard drive a more involved process.
Reduce wear and tear? Really? I've heard many reasons why one should do this (improving perfmance & reducing fragmentations which he mentions later), but reducing wear and tear?
Also, I'd love to find a pointer to building an inexpensive (not cheap, there's a difference), reliable machine... much more interesting to me anyway.

I trust this guy about as far as I can throw a Chevy Suburban.
but I hear it's really hard to get
You're assuming, of course, they don't violate your civil rights to get you to divulge your password.
If they really, really want information from you, they have ways of getting it.

And a separate one for Linus Torvalds too.
The Apple one should have an iPod subcategory.

not enough sex perhaps?
How I squandered my youth and why I didn't get laid.
Do you suffer from some shortcoming where you have to have the biggest, err, fastest processor?
Heck, who carers if it's a tablet too. It'd make a damn fine notebook.

This means that Ubuntu has joined the ranks of Slashdot LoveFest companions Google, Apple & Linus Torvalds.
Perhaps your memory is failing you in your old age. Lots of people wanted cars. Few could afford them. Again, comsumer demand drove the business case.

The Indian mathematician outsourced this to a US grad student
I can buy one from a mfg with a warranty for that kind of money, but thanks for the pointer!

Did you even read the article? The author actually "explains" his choice... playing games and better color management.

Who, in turn, acts as their agent.
Yeah, mod me down as a troll, don't even READ my comment. [...]
You dumb slashbot fucks have no idea what a regex is [...]
Sycophants and asshats, monkeys who crawl around above my office trying to figure out which wire the rats chewed through. Know-nothing idiots [...]
Fuck you and your iPods. All those white earbuds do is help me pick out the clueless wannabes. No true geek would own one.
Let me guess... you didn't finish the Dale Carnegie course, did you?
I somehow think that a lot of /.'ers will find an analogy of .NET to pigeon shit as quite apropos. :)
1) commercial yeast technique :)
2) sourdough starter technique
3) poolish technique
4) pumpernickel
5) ok, I can only think of 4 offhand
