Since the context was photography I should have said "true professional photographers
don't use jpeg to shoot their photos"
After you have corrected the exposure, corrected the white balance, etc... and you are ready to throw away 12 bits per pixel of information... yes... jpeg may become useful.
The fact that many people doesn't care about 12 bits per pixel of information, about postprocessing degradation and so on, doesn't imply that it is good.
Other possible damage is a minutely higher power consumption of the CPU - worth perhaps couple cents.
Don't underestimate the power consumption of modern CPUs. Mine (an Athlon64 3400) consumes something like 50W between idle and 100%. Measure made with a vectorial wattmeter before the power supply.
It's only me who find pretty contradictory to read on a paper publushed by Yahoo (among others) to "Close redirectors that can be abused" when rds.yahoo.com is the most abused redirector EVER?
...often rule that when not read an EULA is void. This has happened several times. Unfortunatelly there are not many ways to force a luser to read an EULA... remotely....

I'm waiting for the day when someone figures out the hydrogen storage problem.
The real problem is not storage... is economic.
If we could get enough pure hydrogen (by weight) stored into a small enough volume, then we could simply change the car's battery "every 3000 miles" like we change oil now.
If I remember correctly, the energetic content of hydrogen is half of gasoline (by volume of liquid fuel).
Even if we're able to store the hydrogen in liquid phase, we would just have half of the mileage than a tank of gasoline. No, not 3000 miles....
And since the cost of producing hydrogen (ehehe, yes, you have to produce it) is almost the same of gasoline (per litre), the net result is:
Half mileage
Double cost
This is why hydrogen economy will not succeed unless we find a cheap energy source:)
You CAN create more energy from less fuel, of course you usually talk about USABLE energy... so, improving efficiency leads to more usable energy.
A lot of cinetic energy (which is a form of ordered, high quality energy) is wasted in the brakes, here's where you can improve efficency.
The act of moving doesn't theoretically need energy (except for the pure cinetic energy you reach during the travel) so, there's a lot of space for improvements.
The principle behind hybrid cars does make sense, it tries to recover some energy that otherwise would be wasted (engine at idle, brakes, etc...)
I would call it "a hard disk with a big cache"... however... I can have a cheaper disk with a bigger cache just by adding more RAM to my system and it would be much much faster... wonderful eh?
I may be wrong... but I cannot RTFA.. the site is/.tted...

Actually, it was a rhetoric question.
May I sue the state if my child gets to see a harmful site because they didn't list it?

True professionals don't use JPEG
Once you see what Inkulator means in italian you'll understand how right you are.

In terms of temperature... the space is pretty much similar to the ideal empty space, otherwise it would be VERY HOT.
It's not a coincidence that when the density of the atmospfere increases the Shuttle becomes pretty warm :)
Actually, the empty space does not have a temperature.
...and of course you're not trusting the network. You're trusting a clock provided THRU the network by an authenticated server.
In facts a ssh connection can be trusted... while ssh never ever think about trusting the network.
Not before you return into the station, of course.

In soviet russia, Knoppix has a DNS cache... oh nevermind....

Oops... there IS the monorail... however i thought it was a bit more extended....
I know exactly what I'd do: Debugging IOS-XR all day long...
Yes... but one assumes that for the same family of processors the clock cycles per instruction remains the same so it should grow linearly.
I got an advance copy of Ken Brown's book. I think it is still under embargo, so I won't comment on it
Ok, fair enought
Let's call it The Brown Book
So, why are you disclosing the color of the cover!?!? Baaad guy Andy :)

Wrong
One PetaByte is 1,000 TeraBytes which are 1,000,000 GigaBytes wich are 1,000,000,000,000,000 Bytes wich are 3.35 LotsOfPr0n.
