There's barely any adapting to be done. People already download shows off the internet. All networks need to do is legitimize it and throw in some ads that aren't worth removing.
Or just charge a reasonable amount for the download. I'd pay a couple of bucks an episode for a show I liked. I do now on DVD. I'd prefer to pay for it than have the show dependent on advertisers.
Is this not because the inherent design of cars (capable of high speed, size, materials used, comfort) pushes us to use them more and devote more space to the road?
No, it's because we want to live in the suburbs, with our own lawn and good schools, and the car is the tool that makes that possible.
Certainly their size and comfort are aspects that help make it possible, but very few people drive just because they can, but because it helps accomplish what they really want.
Right now DB2 viper is in beta, that allow you to use MDC, range partitioning, or hash partitioning. All in combination. This means that if you really wanted to scale up you could spread the data across a dozen two-way boxes with each one partitioning its local data. This isn't cheap to do (licensing db2 this way is expensive), but if you wanted to get adhoc queries against a 100 million row table returning results in 1-4 seconds - this is the way to do it.;-)
Greenplum is doing something similar using PostgreSQL as a base:
The express purpose of guns, with the exception of hunting rifles, is to shoot people. (Hint: you don't use handguns or automatic weapons to hunt deer.) Many people buy these guns for their ability to shoot people, even if they *never* intend to use it in that capacity.
Shooting people isn't always a crime; some people just need to be shot. Like the meth addict performing his latest home invasion.
That's bullshit. ISP's easily know which machines are spam bots. I read the abuse mail for a small ISP, and we know within minutes when a machine starts sending spam, because we get complaints. We also then check it out, if it is sending spam we immediately firewall it off and make the owner clean it up.
The only "problem" is that the big telcos and cable companies employ a tiny fraction of the abuse personnel they would actually need to adequately handle their infected user base. So instead they do nothing, and let you pay for it.
SPF is only supposed to check the envelope sender. The From: header is part of DATA and is not relevant to the mail system. Also, the envelope sender can be modified by forwarding sites to maintain SPF compliance, whereas the From: header should remain associated with the real sender.
Cryptography is much better suited to protect and confirm the origin of the headers and content of email messages.
Initially Microsoft was contributing and improving Java (heard of J++?) but Sun sued them for it. It was then Microsoft went and created it's own solution
If by contributing, you mean pushing out their own incompatible version that was designed to take over Java and end its portability, then sure...
So what is going to happen? No one has any idea. The government needs to install a socialized medical system with a reasonable transition, for cost-savings alone.
I live in a country with socialized medicine. Our baby boomers are going to start hitting 70 in 9 years, too. No one here has any idea how we're going to pay for it, either. Socializing it isn't the answer; it just means that the boomers can vote themselves more and more of your income to pay for their health care.
The bottom line is that everyone wants every available treatment, and there isn't enough money in the world to pay for it all.
Now, move to a highway scenario. The Jetta is supposedly capable of FIFTY MPG at highway speeds although we've yet to test it. Even if it gets high 40s it's going to EASILy trounce most any gas powered car.
I have a 2004 Jetta TDI. It gets high 40s easy, even doing 70 mph most of the way. $36.00 to drive 600+ miles last weekend.
Don't they know they should sit out red lights even when it's pouring down rain and that a full stop means a foot must rest on the ground?
That's why most people don't ride bikes. It's not an excuse to blow red lights, however. Cyclists either need to obey the rules of the road or continue to get treated like annoying obstacles.
How many small and medium sized companies have total data exceeding 750GB?
I work for a 15-person company. We have a PostgreSQL database > 250GB (on 32*36GB SCSI drives for speed). We have several TB of other data. Data is life.
But it's true! If you bought a Winmodem, the only possible way it could work is via a proprietary Windows-only binary "driver" that actually is the modem. How could it ever work in Linux?
I've never seen a machine even boot Windows on a new motherboard, let alone properly install drivers. Since when did that start working?
Linux, on the other hand, may need some help with sound, video, network drivers, but at least it usually boots to a point where you can start making it work.

There is no way to signup a spamtrap address to a mailing list if you use confirmed opt-in.
And if you don't, you are a spammer.
So either you're a spammer, or you're lying. Which is it?
I'm really hoping World War I ends soon, so we in Canada can be relieved of the burden of the Temporary War Measures Income Tax Act.
I said home invasion, not burglary. One offers an imminent threat to one's life.

Since the NY AG would shrug and say "what can I do about that?", no one pays for it.
And in pretend-land, where law enforcement actually does something about computer crime, well, the ISP has employees in NY paying for it.
The express purpose of guns, with the exception of hunting rifles, is to shoot people. (Hint: you don't use handguns or automatic weapons to hunt deer.) Many people buy these guns for their ability to shoot people, even if they *never* intend to use it in that capacity.
Shooting people isn't always a crime; some people just need to be shot. Like the meth addict performing his latest home invasion.
And, again just like guns, the only effect of such a law will be to guarantee that only the criminals have hacking tools.
But the article says open source is not reliable. Ergo, no firefox.
Obviously, that market doesn't need tape. They would be happy with an offsite backup service.

According to their claims, our government has free energy technology capable of powering the world without dirty fuels
Sorry, in this house, we obey the laws of thermodynamics.
No kidding. My cable-modem blinks 24x7 even when all it's plugged into is a switch with nothing else attached.
All my friends and family get from me is "I don't do Windows". Works like a charm, and it's true.
