10 years' worth of digital photos for two people (the other doesn't have a camera) = about 10GB.
This is not a lot. Given that most cameras now take pictures that use around 4 MB, this would be a collection of only 2500 pictures, or only 250 pictures per year. If I am on holiday, I might take 250 pictures in a day! Plus taking videos is very easy these days, and after each vacation I end up with videos coming up to 10 GB easily...
11 years ago was 1999, and that was maybe when the standard was released. I left university in June 2001. Two years are not a lot of time to build up a wireless network. I certainly have not heard of anybody using the Internet over a wireless network until maybe 2002 or 2003 and started using it myself in 2005 only (in hotels).
Not in European universities which are the only ones I have been to. Many students had a laptop towards the end of my studies but none of them took them into class. WiFi or UMTS (or even GPRS) did not exist at this time.
I should add that I studied economics and not computer science. We did have some (econometrics) classes in computer labs, but that was about it...
I think air travel is already extremely safe; I don't think it makes sense to spend a lot of money (resulting in higher ticket prices) for a minor further increase in safety. You will never get 100% safety anyway. (To avoid any doubt: I am talking about the regulations in North America, Europe and a number of other developed countries. Flying is a lot less safe in, e.g., a lot of African countries.)
From some comments here regarding market shares, it seems that not everyone is aware that in the commitment proposed by Microsoft to the EU, it is set out that only those users in the European Economic Area that have Internet Explorer set as the standard browser will get the ballot screen. Therefore, the ballot screen cannot cause an increase in IE's share, even in Germany where Firefox is bigger than IE.
(Interestingly, I have not received the ballot screen yet, although I set my standard browser to Internet Explorer before downloading the "browser choice" update. Maybe Windows realises I hardly ever use it and that I have already installed Chrome, Firefox and Opera?)

I think Chrome installs into Program Files if you install it using Google Pack: http://pack.google.com/
First, your servers will shutdown ungracefully, and then, they will be destroyed with little chance of recovery. You will then have to rebuild your systems, and restore the data from the offsite backup. This will of course take time. If this is too much off a risk, you should run a alternate datacentre mirroring your primary databases that can go live within minutes.
If the source computer is vulnerable, the private key will be vulnerable as well as soon as you use a device connected to the compromised computer to scan it.
Wrong question. When was the last time my computer was running a single thread that could use 100% CPU for more than a few milliseconds. Answer: All the time. For example whenever I open Slashdot with Firefox. I rather have less cores at higher speed than more cores.
Can most programmes really be written to take advantage of so many cores? I am not sure I want to have a 6-core processor, of which 5 spend most of the time idling as I am only running a single-core-aware programme. OK, one more core can be used by the OS to make everything snappy, but the question stands.
Apparently, my wireless ADSL modem router (a Fritz!box 7270) has default support, and so does Windows 7. I didn't enable it either on my router nor on my Windows Laptop. Yet, I am currently assigned both a IPv4 and an IPv6 address. Of course, my ISP doesn't offer it, so I guess this would just be useful for communication within my LAN.
Is it normal now that home routers offer IPv6 addresses or is the Fritz!box an exception? Who else has IPv6 on the network without excessive configurations/upgrades?
I don't think that news sites would be allowed to make deals. After all, these deals would be detrimental to consumers, so they would be equivalent to an illegal cartel.
You forgot about the most important aspect of the prisoner's dilemma: Whatever the others do, you are better off to confess.
Typically, the dilemma is presented with two prisoners:
- If both keep silent -> both get one year jail based on weak evidence
- If both confess -> both get three years jail
- If one confesses, and the other keeps silent -> the one that confesses walks out free, the other one gets ten years jail
Now what do you do if you are the prisoner. There are two possibilities what the other one has done:
- If the other one has kept silent, you will get one year jail if you also keep silent, and walk out free if you confess -> Better to confess in this case
- If the other one has confessed, you will get ten years jail if you keep silent, and three years if you confess -> Better to confess in this case
So irrespective of what the other one is doing, you are better off confessing. So the only rational choice is to confess. Since both prisoners face the same incentives, both will confess and both get three years jail. There is no way for them to reach the clearly superior outcome of only one year of jail for both of them.
This has worked well on the German Wikipedia. You can edit an article as easily as before, but the edit will not appear directly on the main article page. Instead, a new "draft" "tab" appears between the "article" and "discussion" tabs. Anyone can click on the "draft" tab and see the current non-approved version. And anyone that is logged in, sees the "draft" by default. Once an editor has approved of the change, it will appear in the article page as well.

Ah, so no Thunderbird,Openoffice and Firefox on Ubuntu? Guess I have to stick to Windows so I don't need to learn those new.

It was at a top university in London, so not really a cave.

I haven't been to university for 9 years, but are students really using laptops during class???
You must have misread my post, I am all in favour of this new legislation. I was responding to a post that stated that aviation should be made safer.

Article 82 EC has been called Article 102 TFEU since 1 December 2009.

Several posts later, FlyerTalk members discovered that the blacked out information has not been removed.
