The "faster switching" is likely one of the touted benefits of the new 3D-based desktop. When you alt-tab out of a game or something, it no longer has to switch back to 2D rendering.
I should clarify - Speed of an electron in a conductor in very slow. a CRT's electron gun is a low energy particle accelerator, so it tosses the electrons around significantly faster.
Actually, the propagation speed can be pretty close to c. The speed of an electron is pretty darn slow (on the order of inches per hour, IIRC), but the propagation speed of an electromagnetic wave (which is what actually does stuff. it's like a hose full of marbles. you push a marble in, and another one pops out the other end.) is about 0.96c in good copper.
I think you got wooshed. I believe he was referring to norton/mcaffe as malware.
And we got hit with this type of crap where I worked over the summer. It came as spam emails regarding "airline ticket confirmation" (a bunch of the people who got hit by it WERE going on business trips in the near future, though I think that was just random chance). Limited user accounts, mcaffe corporate, it blew right through them.

"Onto ISPs"? Try "by ISPs". I'm sure Comcast and AT&T would be cheering for it.
You'd likely do better to complain to the FTC about unwanted calls. The US do-not-call registry is also run by the FTC, rather than the FCC, for whatever reason.
And how, pray tell, are you to calculate USPS' shipping rate without relying on the USPS' server?
I suppose you could construct a database of USPS rates for every possible box size and weight you might ship, but that would be a maintenance nightmare as you'd have to update it whenever they change their rates and every time you get a new item in stock.
AFAICT from TFA, none of the professors who received the email had a problem with it, several emailed her back asking for more information. It seems to be one particular person (the director of IT) that is getting his underpants in a knot because it didn't go through his list server and thus his authority.
I don't see how, as they're all on completely different frequency bands. FM is 100-ish mhz, Cells are at the lowest in the 450mhz-band, and up to the 1800mhz band, and bluetooth is up in the 2400mhz band.
The government is not saying this. This is SOCAN (Society of Composers, Authors and Music Publishers of Canada) and ACTRA (Alliance of Canadian Cinema, Television and Radio Artists) proposing this.
It's analogous to the wailing the RIAA and MPAA put up in the US, aside from that it doesn't get as much traction up here.
Both were charged with possession of child porn for having pictures of the other and both were charged with transmitting child porn for send the images to each other.
And that's so much more reasonable.
Shakespeare got it wrong. We don't need to kill all the lawyers, just all the prosecutors.
I'd prefer that they be forbidden to drop this and get counter-sued into the ground. Maybe it might teach them a lesson about not using mass lawsuit campaigns.

FYI, Practically every major Linux distro has been able to mount NTFS as rw reliably for nearly 2 years since NTFS-3G got released as stable.

most of the G1 applications are lagging *FAR* behind their iPhone counterparts.
What do you expect, really? The iphone came out about a year and a half before the G1. Of course they're going to be lagging behind for awhile.

Best way to get rid of them would be to vote for the communist party next election. They know what to do with czars.

Easy. Use lots of bullets and kill everyone indiscriminately and the game (or anything else you wish to obliterate) will be eliminated.

Banning that way doesn't work real well when you consider dynamic IPs, distributed attacks (bot nets), proxies, etc.
Unless you're willing to ban at least a third of the world, you're not going to get much out of that.

I dunno, what environmental legislation did that republican congress pass?
I have plenty. There's Printed Circuit Boards all around me.

The addon NoUn Buttons fixes that.

Piet Zwart was a famous designer, photographer, and typographer, especially in the 20s and 30s.
The "experiment" stuff wasn't just an off-the-cuff excuse. They did write a paper on it.
