So let me get this straight: In a dictatorship they're letting the peons communicate "securely" ? I call B.S.! Who wants to take a bet on how long it will take for people with access to start planning a revolt (and then be promptly executed)?
Remote print servers can take over controll of print queues quickly in the event of a print server failure and queues can be rerouted to a new print device should a physical printer fail all without client reconfiguration!
I can see it now...
Boss: Hey Lloyd! Where's that document I printed twenty minutes ago?
Lloyd: Umm, its not here--ah. the printer was broken and sent off for servicing
Boss: FIND IT!
Lloyd: Well, boss, I found the document--
Boss: Great! Where is it?
Lloyd: Well, that's the thing, Boss *gulp* Its in our Singapore office.
Boss: *thinks: but this is New York!*
Using memcached (which slashdot does), they have a few options at hand:
Store gzipped content in the memcached daemon, pulling it out when needed
Use the time saved (saved in the sense that you no longer need to pull the comments from a database every single time) to gzip content and send it to the user
One could argue that the dollars saved using mod_gzip/mod_deflate (for bandwidth) mitigates the dollars spent not gzipping content. In any event, the decision is not so cut and dry.
The thing you have to keep in min about television is that television programs aren't the commodity, commercials aren't the commodity. We, the viewing audience are the commodity. We are being targetted by the marketing agencies who produce commercials that are sold to proadcasting corporations who use television programs to lure the public into watching so they can sell advertising to product makers.
Broadcasting will never die because it makes way too much money.
Obscure problems in the source may be found by people nefarious enough to exploit them before fixing them.
Open Source is not the end-all, be-all of software. Rather, the goal should be Quality Assurance. Open Source just makes QA easier since anyone can look at the code and audit it.

This seems to be a vuln in Rsync, not Gentoo. Hmm... Should be interesting to see what the audit turns up!

Maybe he works for Verisign and is planning to hijack the domain "For the good of the Internet."

Quite a poor example of how a site should "look," if you ask me (which you didn't...).
Wonder how long it'll be before the radioplay makes its way to American radio...

Its a shame that no insurance company would fund this this early in research. Best bet is to get into a human candidate research program.

The problem is that AOL users don't know what they're missing (since they can't see it).
tinyurl.com is much shorter, champ.
