I didn't read the article until I had already posted, but with Microsoft's track record can you blame me for being cynical about the whole thing?
Surely memory will get faster too though?
Isn't Moore's Law going to make this look silly in a couple of years?
Even if they changed the algorithm every few years, the would just create an even greater disparity between people with old and new computers, and force people to upgrade even more than now.
I must agree with your opinion on Ivor Horton's book. Unlike some courses the author seems to keep the pace of learning virtually constant throughout, which may or may not be an advantage.
that's Albert Einstein, he's been known about for at least 10 years already.

Actually I'd say that this could be done already with current technologies, it's just that ISPs and large network providers are not being responsible in ensuring that the users of their networks pay the appropriate price for sending out SPAM.
It may be possible, but it's completely unworkable. What if the spammers were to run their own servers and somehow bypass the ISPs, I think they would be willing to pay the surcharge to charities!
Even if some ISPs implemented this small charge market forces and differences between different countries would mean that there would be plenty more places left for spammers to shovel their shit.
It surprises me that no animator (that I know of) has started some kind of distributed rendering effort with people on the Internet (eg. distributed.net). Not only could it be faster and cheaper, but you immediately have a huge number of people who feel that they have a stake in the movie, this might also increase audiences.

How about just once nobody leaves a single comment?

The diagrams are particularly good.
