So, if I am a good person and strongly support knoppix and want to leave those torrents running 24/7 to *only AT&T ip addresses* it shouldn't count against my cap? For some reason I think AT&T would even count this traffic even though it is all internal. Frankly this would be a fairly easy test to do were someone willing. I would but I am stuck on TimeWarner:-/

And Jython does not have a GIL. In much the same way there are multiple implementations of JS (tracemonkey, spidermonkey, v8,...) there are multiple implementations of Python (CPython, Jython, PyPy,...)
In the end, multithreading support is not a language limitation in either language, it usually is a implementation limitation.
Or basically any other wiki product could be used to fill this need. We use MediaWiki among a lot of other products in document control and it works fairly well.

IANAL, but I think the concept you are looking for is "in plain sight". Programs like this make a lot more things on you computer become visible in a standard search - enough so that the question of whether it qualifies for "in plain sight" has been discussed here and a court case reported on in a slashdot article.
This line of thinking confuses the creative genius with the entrepreneur. ... However, that is not to say that they are against copyright. Usually, they like the idea of copyright because morally they dislike the idea of some "greedy capitalist" being able to copy / redistribute and make money using their creation. However, I then ask them whether their status as a musician, and consequently further prospects as a musician and song-writer, would be aided or hindered if others distributed their work for them?
What you express here is a lot of the feelings I have about working on open source software. I write programs because it is something that I enjoy doing, in much the same way you seem to enjoy writing music. I would be upset if the work I did was done without any attribution to me as the author. If some company were to take what I have written and make a profit, I would love to hear about it, and I would like to be respected for my creativity. Drawing form these feelings, the *popular* music industry does well with keeping the name of the "author" with the work itself. Some Joe would not think about claiming a popular song as their own (without a legitimate reason).
There is a lot there to think about, but I must say I identified with what you say as a creative producer of a copyrightable material. And, yes, my day job is as a software engineer, so it is always fun to live both the commercial and hobby sides of my creative outlet. Sometimes they mesh and sometimes they are conflicting. Software development is also going though this sort of "identity crisis", so to speak, that the music industry is. They just seem to be taking different approaches at times.
Not to nitpick - but as you point out it is a KDE level option. I was waiting for someone to point out digiKam as it is my favorite but I have never run into the one-click-opens action. Though I have double click opens a folder/file/... as the default setting.
Just waiting for Qt4 to be used with digiKam and we might have something worth showing mac/win people... It is the one program I wish I could have on my vista laptop, mac book, and my linux desktop.
[int(x) for x in '1 2 3 4 5 6'.split() if x in '135']

I believe that speed boost has something to do with the drop off. Right at the time of the drop off the ping times go upwards of 5 seconds. I can see this happening when speed boost turns off as a little bit backs up - but the system does not seem to recover for minutes. When the ping times do come down the upload speed is all over the place - somewhere between 15 and 40kb. If I manually cap at 34kb I never have the ping time jump and it happily hums a long with out problem. BTW 35 is the upper limit - as anything at this or higher causes the bounces.
Why not go for broke? It has an upper limit on the number of connections it can handle. 48 million real-time flows. A single machine could never achive this number, or even a small number of computers on the network since it would just close the connections (think spam prevention). However, with a large number of computers each doubling (who knows on the real number - so this may just be a pipe dream) the number of active connections might be exceeded. The question is what happens when this number is exceeded?
To Matt's family, the teen's interest in telephony seemed harmless. His 18-year-old brother would read him articles on hacking, according to Lotus. And while Matt was on the party lines, his mother, Amy Kahloul, could sometimes be heard in the background playfully imitating his frequent pose as an AT&T technician.
I have one option - but that is not stopping me from hitting them in the pockets. I live in an apartment complex so there are plenty of people within range of wireless. I am sharing my internet with neighbors - I get cheaper internet and Comcast (the only option) is getting 3 less customers. No one seems to complain when their internet is fast and only $8 a month. Of the 4 apartments I am still the largest bandwidth user. I do keep tabs on how much bandwidth each apartment is using for the only purpose of making sure we do not use too much and get disconnected. If you don't like the service but need it make a sacrifice and do something. It may never cause another option to show up - but it does keep more money in my pocket for the crappy service.
Write letters to the bands/groups/whatever you like that are with the RIAA and tell them that you are not going to buy RIAA supported materials. Tell them that you like their music and enjoy it when it comes on the radio/what-not and would like to purchase their music and other products to compensate them for their work. Forget boycotting, but tell the artists what you want. Tell them to leave the RIAA or you will leave them.
Write them, call them, post messages to their boards asking them to consider ditching the RIAA. They may have no choice to leave (contracts) but they may be able to take voice themselves. You boycott, the artist suffers. You boycott and tell the artist why you are boycotting and what they can do will help. And by all means, when they leave the RIAA, buy their stuff and then write a thank you telling them to tell the other artists to do the same. Appeal to the people caught in the middle.
The supercapacitor that I was doing research on at the University of Minnesota was constructed with plates made of RuO2 (Ruthenium-dioxide) and the fluid was H2O. The plates would not decompose into the water, so in theory there would be no exposure risk to the fluid in such a capacitor. http://www.msi.umn.edu/cgi-bin/reports/resultsv2.html?researcher_name=Halley&action=search&mode=revdepartment I see he has not published anything on it yet, but the TiO2 stuff was done with the same simulation program.
Check out the "." before the "cn". A copy paste: "" vs "." I wonder if this has anything to do with it. And that did not work...but the/. preview says ． ; for the unicode value.
In a similar fashion to the cell processor there is the Arrix (http://www.mathstar.com/) which claims a peak of 500Gflops/s. I have heard that the price in 1K lots is 300 (somewhere around 250 if I remember right. Just put one of these on a board and put it in a laptop. That would be a portable supercomputer. Granted there is the programming thing - but the cell would need that too.
If you are interested in processing power and parallel applications, check this out: Mathstar. Their single chip, operating at 1GHz can churn out 500 billion ops a second. Just think that 4sq. ft. board is now on one chip - and much cheaper. Just think if you could wire 2K of these together (they are like $250 or something a piece in 1K lots) - we are looking at another petaflop contender...
For what I remember, companies when they take up open source seem to contribute back to the main project instead of forking off and making their own version to compete. More then corporate support, I believe overzealous forking of projects is what would spell the death of open source. Sure some protects are the better for forking, but it is often not the corporations that are the cause of the forks. Just a thought...
All I have to think of is the current progress of the pypy interpreter. They have the ability to take something that is written in RPython and translate it into any backend to the annotator. This currently supports JS among other things. Check out http://codespeak.net/pypy/dist/pypy/doc/news.html

Custom compiled programs is not the reason for the speed - Gentoo or not. Trim boot scripts, kernel w/ minimal modules, and most drivers compiled in. Oddly powering down takes longer then powering on. I will give XP credit for being much faster then previous versions - I have not tried Vista yet, probably won't.

Google handles unit conversions for you:
http://www.google.com/search?q=3.5+in+*+pi+*+15000+%2F+minute -> (3.5 in * pi * 15 000) / minute = 69.8218967 m / s
