One of the sites I visit on a regular basis is a site called housepricecrash.co.uk . It is a site for people who think real estate is going to fall in price.
The google ads on that site are mostly for property investment clubs, which is the last thing their readers are going to visit.
The German authorities did punish him, so they must have been able to capture him. They obviously considered that it was their responsibility to punish him, and for that reason didn't hand him over to the US.
Just HDD manufacturers. When you buy an 8GB RAM stick you get 8,589,934,592 bytes of RAM, just like you should. When you buy an 8GB hard drive, you only get 8,000,000,000 bytes of HDD space.
I use gmail precisely to avoid even having to worry about spam filtering. When I had my own vanity domain, I would have agreed with you. Now, I just don't care anymore as the problem has ceased to impact me (directly).
There is a slight problem with GMail's spam filtering.
Some government officials working for the British Government recently sent a load of emails asking people to visit a web site to confirm their bank details so they could access some frozen funds.
Spam filters see this quite a lot from people proporting to act for the Nigerian government, and they thought these emails were the same, and promptly deleted them.
Unfortunately for Google, and lots of other ISPs that use Google's spam filtering service, these emails really were from the British government. They were from the FSCS, the British equivalent of FDIC, and they were email customers of the failed IceSave bank telling them how to claim their money back - they had to log on to IceSave's website, confirm the details of their linked account and agree to assign their creditor claims against IceSave to FSCS. FSCS would then wire the money across to them.
Designated area? They are illegal in most of europe. The only places you are allowed to smoke are in your own home, outside, in a prison or in a mental hospital.
You could have your phone and your laptop both talking to an Exchange server, or some similar groupware server from a competitor. I don't see where virtulisation comes into it.
I bluetoothed my contact list across. Works fine. You don't need virtualisation to do that, just a standard format for information exchange, which already exists.
My current phone backs up everything onto an exchange server. Blackberry server does the same thing.
I think the reason they haven't progressed that much is that there isn't the demand for it.
The light switch is still the simplest and most obvious UI for a light. You can get motion detectors for lights, only problem is that you have to wave your arms around every few minutes to switch the lights back on.
We still use bi-metallic strips for our heating control systems, because they are simple, they work reliably and do the job just as well as a more complex system.
As for the fridge ordering my shopping, how does it know whether or not I want the same thing again, I want to try something different, or I'm going on holiday, so I don't want a replacement just now, or I'm having a party, so I need much larger quantities. Much easier just to order it myself.
In which case, as long as it can do it in real time, you haven't got any problems. Making it faster isn't going to help because the bottleneck is the outside world.
You don't have to be headquartered in the UK to be listed on the London Stock Exchange. Russian companies make up a fairly large proportion of the stock market here.
Microsoft is regarded as a utility stock these days - in a recession, people still need computers as they aren't the luxury item they once were.
Also China and India are much bigger than USA and Europe, and those markets are still growing, at a slightly slower rate than before. That ought to more than counteract any decline in western economies.

Or if you want to see what happens when you nationalise a car maker, look at British Leyland.
You need a licence to run a business? I don't need a licence in England, I just need to tell the tax man how much I earned at the end of the year.
Only in London, and Northern Ireland. In pretty much the rest of the country it is run by private companies.
All the Chinese and Indian people who put their money in American banks because they thought it would be safer there than in local banks.
Depends in what way they would hurt IBM. If they hurt them by making them provide better employment conditions, they might vote for them.

It doesn't work on my Mac - Tiger, or my Ubuntu or my Vista.
I think it is the fact I'm using a Netgear router rather than an Airport router.

Really? That surprises me. When I went to Zurich in September, there were smoking rooms in both the Zurich and Frankfurt airports.
Switzerland isn't part of the EU.

No. That's just Hotmail for small businesses.

VMWare etc is not going to help you here.
I use a combination of RSync, Exchange, Remote Desktop and Samba to achieve what you are looking for.
It so happens that my Windows 2003 server runs on VMWare, but that is so I have less boxes under my desk. Not so I can move things around.

Lordy. A 50% share of the web email business that generates no profit for anybody. Not much a monopoly and not much of a business to monopolize.
It just happens to the the No. 1 reason why most people buy a computer. I'd say that is quite important.
All that will happen if Obama does that is that the companies will move their HQs to another country.
A lot of companies are moving their HQs from England to Ireland because Gordon Brown did much the same thing.
What about email? Yahoo has a 26% market share and Hotmail has a 25% market share.
If that doesn't raise anti-trust concerns, nothing will.
People are not going to pay for updates. It is difficult enough to persuade people to load updates when they are free.

That's standard lawerspeak in a copyright writ.
