Silent adverts would work if randomly switched from bottom of the screen to the top of the screen every so often. You couldn't cover them up because they wouldn't always appear in the same place. If you tried, you'd end up covering up the television show you were watching when the advertisement switches to a different location.
I actually wouldn't mind them as much as normal commercials. Quiet, text-and-graphics based advertisement. No annoying songs. The banner might even contain coherent sentences that are used to give information about the product. (A step up from current commercials.)
Basically, silent banner adverts, subscription, and pay-per-view are the only types of business models that could hold up in a DVR-dominated culture.
"linux is full of crap".......... 0 hits
"apple is full of crap"......... 0 hits
"microsoft is full of crap".... 9 hits
"toilet is full of crap".......... 2 hits
"SCO is full of crap".......... 92 hits!
So it's official, SCO is 46 times more full of crap crap than a toilets are.
It would be very valuable to have the bayesian filter learn what kind of mail I put in some folders, so that when my mail comes it, it can auto-sort it into the appropriate folder for me. Trouble is, all the current implementations of Bayesian email filtering are a single test SPAM/NOTSPAM. *sigh*
What you are looking for already exists, is currently being updated as necessary and has been fairly polished as well.
Popfile is a free spam-filter and mail-organizer combo available here. I would never use email without it.
I think the guy who submitted the article mislead us... I believe the article means that the machine can do the same AMOUNT of work that 15 jackhammars can do in the same time period. Not that it is 15 times more powerful!
Actually, the definition of according to the definition of power, something that is able to do 15 times as much work in the same time period as something else is 15 times as powerful. Neener-neener.
Condoms have over 90% effectiveness when used correctly.
If you want to know what will really keep population down...
People in first world countries use their free time to watch TV, and look at porn.
People in third-world countries use their free time to have sex and make babies, because they don't have TV's and computers.
I propose, that in order to prevent unsustainable overpopulation in third-world countries, we give them TV's!
Help people in third-world countries! Give them TV's!

See the section for test result for Internet Explorer for Windows?
Test number 6 (Reference PNG) has a different gamma than Test 7 (Reference Gif), even when the test doesn't specify a gamma.
Internet Explorer does mess up the gamma, for no possible reason when it isn't necessary. Ugh.
I first became aware of Internet Explorer's gamma-change-for-no-reason when I made a.png file for people to diagnose their monitor gamma. Mozilla, and Opera rendered it correctly, with the same pixel values as the program that I created it with. But Internet explorer showed it too dark. It darkens truecolor.png's, but it works fine with indexed-color.png's.
You can find a reference to this gamma mistake on this page.

(Then collect a couple buckets full and mail 'em back to Walmart corporate HQ.;)
a couple buckets full? unlikely
that would be like, a million
I don't think we would be able collect enough of them to flood the corporate HQ by sheer volume. We could glue a smaller number of them all over their stuff, though.

There's a new weather prediction program they're testing for Great Britian that is like twice as accurate as anything we're using the U.S. It uses raw thermal data from satellites, whereas traditional prediction is done with raw thermal data turned into a guess into how thick cloud cover is.

Don't dismiss silent adverts that easy.

15 workers for a jackhammer? How do they do that? The device can do the work of 15 people with 15 jackhammers.
Great. Now I can make the characters in "Inherit the Earth" be quadrupedal.

I'm not even sure this counts as inching closer to the GPL. Microsoft? Becoming like linux?
