Why would they want subscribers? All they need to know is how many people downloaded ~= viewers for the purpose of selling advertising. Although seeding all but the first block and a few randomly throughout before the show airs would be an interesting idea. Just bring up a superseed that doesn't have these blocks, then bring up a full seed when the show airs.
Actually, it's fatally flawed for cars too, just ask Lotus. In cars it's driveline rotational inertia, non-driven-wheel rotational inertia, total mass, and unsprung weight that matter, in some cases making up for very large differences in power at the crank. The Lotus Elise, for example, has 190HP and a 0-60 time of 4.9s.
Wouldn't you be more concerned with the performance than a specific clock speed? This is of course assuming you're not using it as a RF source or something.

This experiment and the panspermia hypothesis is not about humans coming from outer space.

No, it's now not too improbable. Just less probable than life originating here. But both theories fit with all currently known observations.

Rockets maybe... What better way to make absolutely clear to any intelligent life on another planet that there is life where you are from than hucking some of it at them?
Why bother creating annother torrent type network? Just include ads and drop the tracker a week after it airs. The Internet could be considered just an extension of the RF broadcast business model to further distances.
MicroVax 3100, SCSI, 3 terminal ports, 2 of those wide ports for lots of terminals, 10base2, and a bunch of ports I don't recognise. I also got a stack of SCSI drives in the 200MB-2GB range at the same sale (used computer shop was bankrupt).
I actually have a VAX and no tape drive (nor any machine that could load NetBSD onto a tape drive). Without some way to get NetBSD onto it, it's pretty much a paperweight. I have a Linux box and a SCSI card, so I could install that way, except that doesn't seem to be an option.
It's in lower power chips, more efficient PSUs, and possibly liquid cooling where the radiator is outside the building (or a heat exchanger to heat pump loop in hot climates).
I've seen some pretty crappy PHP. Actually, the one I'm trying to fix right now is so bad as to lead me to believe that it was origionally written as a demonstration of insecure coding practices.
That has more to do with the photographer's lack of skill than Ceren's figure. The lens used was slightly wide-angle (probably a zoom, backed up to get her in head to foot while standing too close), the photo is taken at eye height by someone taller than Ceren (distorts perspective, making her head look bigger than it is), with direct, non-diffused on-camera flash (flatten features, but makes specular reflections exagerate her shape).
The things to do for a shot like this are:
Stand further back & use a longer lens
Shoot from her waist level for a head to toe standing shot, or her chest level for a head to waist shot
Use an off-camera flash or flash bracket, with a diffuser (could be as simple as a bounce flash with a card to pick up catchlights in her eyes)
notice that the sky is properly exposed as well as the vegetation on the hill in the foreground; this would be impossible to capture with many cameras.
Graduated neutral density filter. Cokin makes a nice kit.
Actually a whole lot of what gets done in photoshop can be done much faster at exposure time. Like lighting colour adjustments (warming/cooling filters), Increasing colour saturation (polarizers), selective focus (large aperature and/or vaseline smeared UV filter), perspective correction (proper camera placement and/or tilt/shift lens or a View Camera), etc.
Photographers go to great lengths to calibrate their monitors.
This announcement is not very impressive from a photography standpoint. The sRGB colourspace has a very small gamut relative to most monitors. sRGB is the intersection of the gamuts of most screens, photographic prints, CMYK printing, LightJet printing, and slide film.
If they want to show how good the screen is (for photographers), accuracy in the sRGB colour space is not what to show. They should show the contrast ratio for each colour (RGB)(determines gamut), And that it is very consistant across the screen, and that it stays consistant over time.
Fitting a standard colourspace is not an advantage since it must be calibrated for local lighting conditions anyways (unless an off pixel is 100% absorbtive).

Does it re-call onreadystatechange when new data comes in? Any links to how to use this?
Ahh.. AJAX based dating site... I see a trip to the Venture Capitalists in my future.

That wouldn't be compatible with long-lived seeds.

But do I still need a reel-to-reel tape drive to install it on my VAX, or can I copy an image to a SCSI HDD under Linux, then boot that?
ahem.

5 minutes to recharge a battery sounds like a recipe for a housefire to me.

Everything here, except replacing vim with $EDITOR. Because everyone has their own favourite, but should learn one console capable editor.

I'm sure there's a website out there that caters to your tastes.
