wow, this really does look like KDE4! was gone, I was left feeling rather deflated and eventually just went back to my Ubuntu desktop. It looks, feels, and even the feature list reveals, that this is just another minor release of Vista. A Vista SE, if you will.:)
I think the way should be this: Charge those who send sms rather than those who receive. That way, if the spammer is intending to send you spam, first he cant charge your bill and he pays double the charge (charge for sending and charge for you receiving it). So, things will get double costly for him. Second, if you dont like the spam you can delete it anyways. That way the game becomes much more level playing field.
The whole notion that someone can send you sms and rake up your bill is something that I hate to accept.
I hate spammers. I think the punishment should be really cruel..!
We should force the spammers to read each and every character/mail of all the spams that they ever mailed. Hopefully, with all the spelling mistakes they make, they will really get frustrated with themselves and commit suicide.
Also, one of the biggest problem in distributing tasks is *handling failures*. MR does it as part of the library, which greatly simplifies distributed computing tasks.
The alterations of of images transposed from within the confines of allocated semiconductor memory is a travesty of trustworthiness that makes on think of the simpler days of the chemical process for capturing images and storage on layered flexible devices. Those recollections also recoup melancholy days of sipping the Tranya amidst the family on late autumn holidays. One weeps for what this has become.

Low cost, low power CPUs. Already, 99% of people don't use 99% of the power of their CPUs 99% of the time.
I can see you havent kept upgrading Microsoft Operating systems. Everything that used to run well on my XP machine after a fateful Vista upgrade crawls. Why should the machine take 1GB of RAM just to boot up and start operating, when all I do is just check mail.

I think that if we are looking for life, the statement that we are looking for life similar to earth is more accurate. With the current environment configuration on earth, we have not discovered life in non-carbon forms. But this does not provide any proof that there are no living organisms that cannot exist without carbon in them. What this implies is that we are jaundiced in our search for extra terrestrial life and we cannot comprehend or perceive life forms other than carbon. So, all our extra terrestrial search is actually searching for only a subset of possible life forms (of which we know only about carbon life forms, for the rest, we have no clue how they exist).
Having said that, I'd consider it an arrogant statement to say that there are no life forms that exist other than on our planet. With such a huge vast expanse in the universe, it is simply a joke, if we say there are no other life forms. Its just that we have not come across, or we have not been able to perceive with our search system, if one exists already.
Does it realy matter if it
A)causes news coverage that interupts your TV watching
B) lands on your house or
C) blots out the sun/ distroys all life on earth
I am not sure about A. If B happens, you wont read this post and if C happens, neither of us will be able to read this post after the impact.
what about internet redundancy? what about data redundancy (we know about how reliable hard disks can be).
That said, I agree that "I can have as many addresses" is something unique to your solution and no provider can give u that much freedom. But that comes at a cost. If you balance that out, you will know whether its worth the pain.
I think usually the problem is not about setting up your own mail server, but to ensure that it is protected against newer and newer vulnerabilities and also making sure it doenst break something when u update patches. (in short maintained properly)
By setting up your own mail server, you promise to dedicate some time to check its status of working. If he would goto commercial providers (at either free of cost or at some charge), they take care of all of these and also take care of server-wear-and-tear, energy costs etc.
You dont run operating system as the application on the cluster:-). You connect the computers running operating system to harness the computing power of the cluster to run computationally intensive application.
So, you might want to say, "lets connect all browsers running in disparate cores/computers and run the next generation javascript plugin/code that would go infinite loop and clap our hands to say, wow our browsers are the new operating system".
having said all this verbose, the simple slashdot lingo for the above is "Now imagine a boewulf cluster of the same"
Slashdot Lingo - mocking simplified...
do they share the same memory? in that case, a terrible problem with tab a (buffer overflow/underflow/whatever) can wipe off the memory of tab b? essentially that is just a better way of seperating than running all on a single thread. I guess process seperation is the right way to go.

I m sure you never use flash on crappy web pages and you dont own a cheap dell laptop whose maufacturers wont provide a driver for their "proprietary" chipset.

Dell has a decent collection of Linux drivers. Sorry Dell on that.

GNU fans, come back to earth. If we want people to understand what free as in freedom means and avoid using proprietary software, the best way is to make operating system that will work out of the box, not the one you will have compile kernel from source.
I am a fan of GNU. I have proselytized many of my friends to Ubuntu. I will never recommend gNewSense to them and they will start to hate Gnu/Linux when they see their soundcard not working/video drivers not working/compile driver from source/yada yada.
Torture the developers, we can sustain (compiling from source is often what we know), not the general tom-dick-harry public.

I always thought Fraunhofer licensed decoders for free. Only the encoders needed to pay royalt to Fraunhofer. Am I right?

There is a way to build and program parallel computers that does not involve the use of threads or CPUs.
Agreed about threads, but CPUs? Are you going to run your calculations on a bacteria?

once u use vcs you will never come back to source control
