Seriously?
If 20 cars travel down the freeway in one second, in a single file, then they are traveling 20 times as fast as those 20 cars in parallel, if they travel the same distance in that same second.
The only way you could speed up this caravan to the degree you refer to would be to have 20 high speed lanes (i.e. 20 network cables plugged into you monster of a NIC.
It's gonna get real crowded in the world if we're all immortal.
No no, see, it's a very elaborate plot. This kind of treatment will only be available to the very rich. They'll pay through the nose for it. And then, when they're immortal, the state can tax them, for a very, very long time, thus taking away all of their money.
MS includes a necessary tool for free: "Unfair bundling! They're just trying to muscle everyone else out of the market"
Should be:
MS includes a necessary tool for free without giving users the choice of using another application which does the same thing (Windows Media Player vs Media Player Classic/Winamp/...)
MS charges a fee for a necessary tool: "Charging for this? What a ripoff!"
Should be:
MS charges a fee for a necessary tool which should have been included in the original OS or the OS wouldn't need if it were actually secure. We already paid for the OS.
Personally, I don't want to be in the electricity production business. How many people actually do?
I wouldn't mind being in the electricity production business. Over here (Belgium), you're actually rewarded by the government for installing solar panels (i.e. you get funds).
And as other people pointed out, you can actually give back to the grid, for which you are, again, rewarded.
You might ask why I don't have solar panels now. It's because I live in an apartment building. But if I were to build my own house, they would definitely be there.
While these sound 'interesting', I wouldn't want one. What exactly am I supposed to do if I want to go on vacation and not haul along a laptop to download the video onto?
Or I'm somewhere and the drive is full, and I want to keep recording. With a tape-based Camcorder I'd just run to (Costco/Walmart/7-11/Target) and pickup some more MiniDV tapes or whatever.
Heaven forbid you should have more than one SD card...
They probably did have the file up but then they got this very urgent call from their ISP saying a oucple of hundred thousand people were melting the server...
Can you imagine finding a message like that on your voice mail and realizing it's been hours since they called you?:-D

"Statues of Liberties or Taj Mahal's"
"Superbowl stadium/Oil tanker"
Don't know where you live, but I don't live next door to a stadium (or the Statue of Liberty or Taj Mahal), and there's no oil tanker in my back yard either;-)
It's spelled hydrogen, fossil, storage and safety.
And as another poster pointed out, you can generate hydrogen with a solar panel, a couple of precious metal electrodes, and a water tank. The only byproduct of this reaction is oxygen (oxygen gas even).
I thought I was the only one who remembered BeFS had this feature already. I mentioned it to a couple of (admittedly not-quite-as-geeky-as-me) buddies and they just stared at me.
Lawyer Anthony J. Dain has said the ads are 'annoyances you have to deal with in a free society.'
Uh no, I really don't. I can use Linux (free), or I can disable the Messenger service in Windows (came with my laptop).

Because we choose to.
You mean it's not a joke?
You're a bit confused at the outcries here.

I read that as She-nux -- thought it was a distro for girls :-p
In Soviet Russia, AI analyzes you!!
Oh wait...
http://www.litepc.com/ IE is not impossible to uninstall... it's just difficult
Actually it's pronounced "Who-garden"
it was an ACCEPTED PRACTICE
It was (and still is) a BAD practice. Seriously. Follow the official (current) API.
I understand where you're coming from, but still...

Uh, no, it's not. Take a look here: http://www.litepc.com/

I was interested myself until I saw the device shaped like opera glasses you need to hold up :-)

You'll want to use HTML coupled with CSS then: li.level2 {list-style:lower-alpha} etc
