Trackerless torrents and search technologies like this seems to be changing BitTorrent into a conventional p2p system. Can anyone explain the diffrence? Is it just a regular p2p system with a highly efficient segmented downloading system?

The scary part is that we can't prove that factoring has a lower limit to the base of the exponent. It could be 1.1, 1.01, or 1.001, or 1.0001. This means that any crypto based on prime factors has an unknown vulnerability in it.
According to what you said, what you really mean is that it is possible that any crpto based on prime factorization has an unknown vulnerability. You can't say that for certain unless it is proven that there is no lower limit on the base exponent. (Again, I'm just using your post as a reference)
What are you saying? They are the copyright owners, but they also released under the GPL. Can they take it back or not? If they could take it back, can't someone just take the code as it stood under the GPL, incorporate it into something else, and release that under GPL to keep it GPL?
-1 Troll, for sure. The amount of good that all the companies you have mentioned have done (except for possibly Microsoft) is immesurable. Sure there have been many setbacks along the way, but these companies have been innovating and improving our lives for literally more than a century each.
As for Google, I can't sem to find any refereence to what you described in AdSense's terms and conditions, have a look for yourself https://www.google.com/adsense/localized-terms/
You certainly can do it, it's just not easy. I agree, though, that the first group that can make this easy enough (run program, login to DB network with DB servers, access DB network just as single DB is accessed), will become very popular.
I'm certainly not a big fan of the number of frivolous lawsuits in the US, but I do not believe it is possible to sue a company just because an employer does something illegal completely unrelated to the company using its email.
Could you please explain what you mean by increasing strength (torque?) at a given power? Do you mean for a given size of motor, you can have higher torques and lower rpms? I know that electric motor efficiencies are as high as 95% so the only way to get "many times" higher torques for a given power is to lower angular velocity. Additionally, how will they make electric motors much more efficient (again given electric motors are already commonly 80-90%+)? I assume you are talking about squeezing out an extra percent or two lost to resistive heating?
Very simple: Universities won't put down the $10 million or so that it takes to complete this project without knowing for sure that they will be paid back.
John Cleese to do this video? I know the answer, money, but this is definitley strange. When was the last time you saw a celebrity like this involved in promoting some obscure IT product?
...he is definitley the hardest one to beat. I remember that time I played all night long and I made it up to Boss SI (that's what it says above his life bar cause his name doesn't fit on the screen). I was kickin ass, but then my mom came and pulled the stupid plug.
The free iPod thing at Duke is a horrible, shameless way to buy students.
They've got lots of middle-to-upper-middle class students with parents that are paying for college. The students often have a large part of the decision power.
Duke offers the students iPods to buy their vote of approval, then simply tacks on a few hundred to the bill. (and don't give me any crap about it not adding to the bill. It's someones money spent on something that could have been spent somewhere else. That's that)
Students go to Duke
Profit
Being a high school, senior fresh out (almost) of the application process, I see that this fits Duke's reputation among high school students extremely well. Duke is very popular among the jock/suburban/upper middle class kid kinda person. People who've got life going pretty easily and all that really matters is the schools good sports teams and the "cool" factor.
It's simple. Though what they sell directly to their customers is clicks, what their customers want to be paying for is people visiting their website and actually browsing/buying/registering/whatever. If Google clicks start to lose value (as the percentage of clicks that turns into something valuable for the customer drops), customers will not be willing to pay as much for them.
If what you say about the "Pay 2 Surf" fad is true, most likely, the people paying for advertising were not tracking what rate clicks were turning into something valuable, or if they were, they stopped buying ads and hence the end of Pay 2 Surf
Wow, you are so wrong. The number of people who will be actively modifying songs is probably about the same as the number who own a copy of Reason (I don't actually know the band or its popularity, but my point is, "very few oridnary folk" will be participating.) Trent Reznor is not really breaking ground. His user base is disproportionately high in users who like to do sound editing and that is the main reason he, and not some other musician, is doing it.
This is complete and utter nonsense. Yes, pure sciences have, for the most part, been enabled by open publication, but there is quite an enormous step from understand nuclear forces in an atom to creating a nuclear power plant. Its steps like these that don't happen without money. Finally, money is not available without promise of return on money.
I just cannot understand how you expect the great of actual product development to happen without IP. Perhaps you are only familiar with the software world, where, I agree, patents do not make sense, but when it comes to the industrial lab that spent millions to develop the optical mouse technology you are using, it is absolutely neccesary that IP exists.
And you are going to force every citizen to pay for it? That includes small children, people who get there service other ways, etc. In addition, I wouldn't be so sure what that 600k/month figure actually means.

This pretty cool chart would actually suggest that Microsoft is largely consolidating its OSs.
What are you saying? They are the copyright owners, but they also released under the GPL. Can they take it back or not? If they could take it back, can't someone just take the code as it stood under the GPL, incorporate it into something else, and release that under GPL to keep it GPL?
If you weren't still using 95/98/ME, you probably wouldn't be getting many BSODs at all...

Honestly, I think its a good idea. If it's a despicable enough crime, you should live with the repurcussions for life.
Sure you don't mean workhouse?

Ok, that much I understood. The wording of the first comment was what I was asking about.

That was about the longest way possible to say "because maybe you like Linux more than OS X"

Can someone explain why a law had to be created to allow this?
And you are going to force every citizen to pay for it? That includes small children, people who get there service other ways, etc. In addition, I wouldn't be so sure what that 600k/month figure actually means.
Competition. Can someone explain to me how this is different than any other situation where a company might do something unfair to its users?
