Isn't it generally good if the "all you can eat" plans are replaced with pay-as-you-go, because that favours those who hardly use it at all, at the cost of those use who it to download 1 trillion movies a week.
It *is* possible to have something like a very reasonable 0.01p per gigabyte plan. Just because it's pay-as-you-go, that doesn't mean prices have to be extortionate, or even worse overall than the 'unlimited plan.'
I wonder what ELO a computer be if it had to be brute force each move (breadth first) rather than rely on particular insights, position rating, and branch pruning, etc.
Unless products get cheaper because there are more resources, and thus market prices will naturally fall more easily. Try to think of indirect ramifications, and not immediate monetary gains.
It's great to see the people behind this patent push and the original creator/s of the idea are making such a positive, wide-reaching impact on the world with exciting, unique and creative flashes of genius such as the One Nod Purchase (tm)(tm). The world would indeed be a poorer, empty, purposeless wasteland without their insights (and insights like them).
I wish them all the best. No really.

As already pointed out in an older story, volume controls/muters are criminally overlooked by browsers too. Each tab should have its own volume control.
Which is why every so called 'fact' should be accompanied with a degree of probability, even if it's very rough. In my view, probabilities are underused massively in just about every area, just because publishers don't think the 'stupid public' could understand them. It's really sad.
As has been said before, Gwave hopes to replace email, forums, IRC and other types of communications systems.
I've just now, tried Wave for the first time, and it seems very interesting. I'd love this (or at least something) to be *the* standard for emails and forums etc.
In terms of features, I kind of wish there was an in-place search filter that filters in real-time only the messages in that wave that contain a certain word/phrase. Also, if it's not going to have skins, then can it at least let me change the colour scheme?
The above points are mute in a way though, since as Wave is a protocol, expect to see some great custom GUIs in the future (maybe some are already available).
I think that's a great idea, and ignore the other replies which talk about how bad people are estimating risk. Because one: people can be educated to some extent, at least in the future, and two: for the people who DO understand risk, it will be a massive help.
I remember hearing a while back that exposure to a small amount of radiation increases health (or decreases cancer risk). A bit like an 'immunization'. Would make sense here.
Would a gearbox still be needed anyway if and when pure electric/battery powered vehicles become the norm? If not, then this invention is great, but a bit late.

Er, sorry to state the obvious, but can't these browsers simply spoof as IE if they wanted to?
I think that CPUs are faster with conditional branching and other general purpose computing tasks, so I would sacrifice 2x for that.
Er excuse me, but I thought micropayments were something like $0.05 or less?
250ms? That's astonishingly bad. How did that ever pass the drawing board I wonder?
What is the lag for HDMI? And how does it compare to DVI or DisplayPort?
Hang on, isn't that a good thing, because it's creating 'more work'?
[/sarcasm]
When will some people start to realize that efficiency is all about reducing jobs, instead of creating them... sigh.
That's all well and good, but I'd rather see efficiency advances in solid state cooling (quieter, more reliable, often smaller...)
The off-the-top-of-my-head price of 0.01p per gig wasn't my point at all. I know it's wrong - I was making a much more important point.

Yes, I meant on today's speed/RAM computers...

Why? Wouldn't more power be generated if they maximized the wind's potential?

Which one did you buy?
It's a nice idea, but it'll hinder the progress of SSD if it catches on. I'd rather SSD replace HDs completely.
Somehow I think the hunter gatherers would prefer the big macs too.
Whoosh...

There, fixed that for you.
