How can anybody expect to believe you when two of the three links you cited were authored by the same people, and the other link was simply a news article about their work.
Get some real references.
My university (MSU-Bozeman) uses a firewall that blocks inbound connections. With no inbounds, BT goes slower than turtles screwing(I hardly ever broke 1kB/s)
Anyway, I was looking for a way around the firewall, and I found BitComet. It has a feature call "nat traversal" using UDP that allowed me to get speeds much closer to normal.
Unfortunately, nat traversal only works between bitcomet clients, so the speeds aren't always as good as they could be.
Try it out and make sure to enable the nat traversal option.
The publishing industry ceases on day one of no copyrights.
Even if copyright laws were repealed, most people would still buy books, read newspapers, etc. The information may be free, but most people will not instantly start reading books and the news online.
I can read the New York Times' articles online for free, but they are still operating.
There are many good tutorials on programming on the web, but there is still a sizable section for programming in most bookstores.
I fail to see how the publishing industry would fail overnight if copyright laws were repealed.
The article only discusses it's use as a tool to create master copies to manufacture the newer, high density dvds(i.e. Blu-Ray). Not as a consumer recording device.

Well, in response to your post I tried using the mouse with my left hand for a little bit.
It does feel weird and clumsy, but its only slightly slower and it probably wouldn't take to long to become proficient using the mouse with your left hand.

From the Spacetraveler data sheet it looks like it is a lot more than just a volume knob.
"I'd still like to point out that Windows isn't the only OS that has turned into a RAM hog"
right...
With each release, windows has grown more and more bloated. When I installed sp1 over xp a while ago, i thought it had broken my xp install because it was taking over 30 seconds more to load on my p4. And that was just a service pack, imagine what the next version will bring.
THey explain it as if its a perpetual motion machine, which is obviously impossible. But it seems as though the only reason its not perpetual motion is because there is no way to achieve 100% efficiency of all the mechanical parts. Instead of being able to go through the lift, glide, lift, glide cycle infinitely, it would lose a little energy each time, and so have a maximum range, plus they would need a machine on the ground to recompress the hydrogen and air.
So its not really perpetual motion, but they seem to be trying to get as close as possible by keeping the efficiency of the craft up.

A piece of notebook paper has enough air resistance compared to its weight to have a much smaller rate of acceleration

Watch "This is Spinal Tap" and you will understand.

The page took around 5 times longer than normal to load for me too.
But the actual patches downloaded just as fast as they normally do.
X-rays and electron beams are fundementally different.
All light--whether its visible, infrared, X-ray, Gamma, etc--is made up of photons.
An electron beam, on the other hand, is just that, a beam of electrons. And electrons do not pose a radiation hazard.

It would take weeks to transcode that many dvds
