If you have a site that "costs 100K per minute" to be down, you sure as hell don't host it on a single machine (VM cluster what???) and hire some retard to have a "30 minute google session" to find a fix. Hell, with your frame of mind we shouldn't have changed anything past the terminal/mainframe days, or even the punch card/mainframe days because people "had been doing it form more than a decade." Your entire post is full of hyperbole and illogical statements surrounded by an emotional response to a fucking UI change in a desktop OS. Adapt or get the hell out of the way old man.
Doesn't look like this story covers anything involving the 3g iPhone, it even mentions that you need the 1.0.0 version of the firmware, which the 3g never even shipped with (or can run)! This is talking about the old iPhone with the 2.0 software, nothing exciting. Check out the iphone dev team blog for real news about the 3g running with non signed apps, they released today!

Have fun using QOS on it though. I admit the WRT54G ran great at my house with just my parents and brother on it, but my current house has 5 guys who love to transfer files/stream/p2p and the WRT54G I had ran straight into the ground. Threw in a box running pfSense (Some shitty P2 with 128mb of ram) and it's been running great ever since. Can't save power with something that doesn't work...
First off, the average donation is independent of the number of downloads. I would say that the average donation of the people who donated was between $5-10, not the average amount donated *total* Just because somebody downloaded it doesn't mean they donated...
He's not saying that that it applies to all situations (not changing that is). In fact, for other technologies (Game Systems, display systems, etc) the market requirements are that everything be in higher resolution than before. It's just that the market doesn't care that it takes forever to do certain tasks on a computer, since it's accepted and has been for some time.
This is actually quite interesting as Sony refused to release Porn on the betamax format, which some argue was a deciding factor on the adoption of VHS. Granted, this isn't a format war but still interesting...
What was considered a standard "PC" back in the 70s is much, much slower than most PICs availible today for pennies on the dollar. The $7 PC has existed since the mid 90s (if not earlier).
Do you change 500gb a day? The backup solution I've used in the past can keep a record of file changes and then backup what has changed since the last one. No need for an exact copy each day, just one at the start.
I have a single core Athlon64 Venice w/ 2 gigs of Ram and I pretty much alt-tab out of everything just fine. Alt-tabbing sucks due to paging, not dual cores. With a fuckton of ram, most of the programs you're running won't get paged as the game soaks up ram, so they're just as responsive as they were before you started up Quake4.
The main issue I see with coding by voice is that each character needs to be said by a word. We only have 26 single sounds we can make (at least us english speakers) and so pretty much everything besides the basic sounds have to be the result of multiple letters strung together. Here's some math:
Lets say you type at about 40wpm, or about 160characters per minute (this is a low estimate of 4 chars per word), or about 2.5 characters per second.
To be as productive speaking, you'd probabily have to speak about the same number of words per second as you type characters, or 2.5 words. That's really fast.
Sorry bub, doesn't look speech is a very good alternative. Hell, Brain Implants on the other hand...
This sounds similar to the solution in Futurama episode #57, "Crimes of the Hot" where they used to drop a gigantic ice cube in the ocean.
First Episode of Season 5
The main reason for this is chavs, don't understand it, look it up. These are roving gangs of teens in England that like to fuck with people for no reason at all. Oh, and look up happy slapping while you're at it (honestly).
My comcast is that without download limits. I really dont understand why somebody would need more than this, your home internet connection is not for running a web server.
I've found this too. When you're running a shitty laptop, every bit of fat really shows. jEdit is actually quite nice, and I'm not trying to toot hobo_sapiens horn either.
Oh, I assumed it was like the HD low-level encryption that IBM and most other laptop companies employ which prevent somebody from removing your hard drive and reading from it from an external drive.
"The whole netscape versus internet explorer thign would have had a different light on it if IE was offered as a download or optional instalation package"
So tell me how you're supposed to download the alternative if you don't have a browser in the first place? When was the last time any linux distro didn't include some sort of (even text based) browser? MS had to include something, so why not pimp their own product?

No no no, it's one purchasable through *the* shopping cart model.

At last, I'm on the same level as NASA for computing power, x31 users around the world can now claim their laptops are space-age technology. Kick ass!

Naw, we do it every 10. Oh wait, I'm not lying.

That's a salt, which was mentioned much earlier.
Last time I checked, a 10Mbit connection didn't cost $40 a month. I figure what we get is quite a bargan.

You can't recover it if your computer dies.
Us seattlites really needed another reason to drink coffee.
