We better hope they don't try that... if they do google will change their IP address and then everyone will have to stop patching their windows installs so they can keep accessing google... the spam would kill the whole internet, not just google.
No, he said he'd kill Google, not the people at Google. Big difference. A company is an entity independent of its employees.

No, no, calm down. It doesn't have that specific bug. Even microsoft can't fit every single bug into their software (why do you think longhorn is taking so long?), I'm sure it's got plenty of other bugs.
Considering you could buy such a CPU (and the rest of the computer to put it in) for far less than 7k, yes, however you probably actually get 10 CPUs for 6 minutes, rather than 1 for an hour, so the processing is faster than you'd otherwise get. I can't see this being very popular though. The kind of people wanting to run CPU intensive tasks enough to be willing to pay someone for it are likely to be universities and companies that could get their own systems.
Of course. It's not a unique business model. Printers being the obvious ones. The printer isn't the way of making money, it's the way of getting people to buy ink. Windows isn't the way of making money, it's the way of getting people to buy other windows software. (Although windows does still make a lot of money - most printers seem to be given away free these days)
Microsoft wrote windows, Microsoft gets money when people use windows. Of course they're not going to encourage the use of their competitors. Does Google Desktop allow you to search the web using Yahoo! or MSN? (That's not a rhetorical question... for all I know, it might do...)
They don't get 20% of their time to themselves, they simply get to decide what do with 20% of the time that their working for the company. They're still doing company work, for company gain, with company supervision.
The 100km figure was decided because it was where an orbitting craft would have insufficent atmospheric lift to maintain its altitude - it's where aerodynamics stopped working and orbital mechanics comes into play. The exact value is pretty close to 100km, I don't think it's pretty close to 50mi (80km) although I'm not sure of the exact value. I don't know where the 50mi value came from - if you do, I'd be interested to know.
The US definition of space is 50miles, not 100kms... they really should change to match everyone else, but they haven't so far. Apparently there were 13 flights in to US space, but just 2 into "real" space.
And what do many powerplants burn to make electricity? Oil. When we run out of oil we'll have power shortages unless it's prepared for. It's one of the easier things to prepare for - we already know how to make other plants - but it still needs doing.
Exactly, that's what I meant. You can also calculate a theoretical value for the speed of gravity, which is the same speed, but I'm not sure how... you can measure it by looking at binary pulsars and things, but I'm not sure about the calculations.
Your donations page pretty much stops anyone willing to donate less than $10 from donating at all, and asking for donations of $200 or more dollars just makes those considering small donations not bother because it doesn't seem worth it. You're unlikely to get more than a couple of donations of more than $100, your many money will come from $10 donations and below - encorage those.
The Alexa details are based off spyware - spyware you download intentionally, but spyware all the same. They're a technical website, so I would expect their users not to choose to download spyware. I think their own stats are far more reliable.
You're trying to pay 3 full-time and 2 part-time employees off a 200,000 hit per month non-commercial site?
You can't get your revenue high enough because your costs are too high. You can break even my increasing the money coming in or my reducing the money going out - the latter is far easier. There's no way you need 5 people for that kind of site.
"Trust people until they give me a reason not to trust is what I go by."
That all depends on what you're trusting them with. Some things you have to prove you're trustworthy for, others you have to have not proven you're not trustworthy.
I would only trust people I know are trustworthy with my wallet, whereas I'd trust anyone that I didn't know wasn't trustworthy with opening a door for me without slamming it in my face.

The wrong answers would be in English too... how does distribtion of letters make any difference?
Playing around is fine - you don't have be be serious all the time, of course not. But playing around and pretending you're serious is another matter.

I think murder only applies to natural people, so death threats do too.

Of course, but that wasn't the question.
The highest X-15 was 108km, SpaceShipOne reached 112km... 112>108 last time I checked.

That's Google making money, not Gmail. We all know google if profitable, but Gmail probably isn't.
You have to select which contacts to add as friends - there's a button in the add contacts window.

Thank you, some plain old text is no such thing - got it.

Yes, but I do have insurance - obviously the example depends on context, but I think the point I was trying to make was obvious.
(Actually I'm in the UK, so it's NHS rather than private insurance, but the point stands)

Who modded that interesting? Did either of you actually read the question? There's no books involved...
