I can confirm that I (and close people) have received targeted ads related to stuff we merely TALKED about, with the phones in our pockets.
In more than one occasion it was awfully obvious that Facebook listens. It's not everyday that someone talks about wanting "red cookware" for her new house and a few minutes later I get spammed with ads for red cookware. This is ridiculous.
But you don't have to believe me. Even having screenshots of the ads is no proof because I don't record every live conversation I have in a day.
Few middle mouse buttons in the world? I've not seen a mouse without a middle button (hint: the scroll wheel is a middle button) in more than twenty years!
IMHO, there should be no grace period. That's what the yellow light is for: to make you know that it's turning red soon but won't get fined because you were caught off guard while crossing.
The release announcement is almost entirely comprised of stuff that was standard back in the early 90's. This reimplementation madness, along with slowness to implement basic stuff, is going out of control! Almost all "modern" user interfaces lack basic stuff.
While I praise their effort and the episode is fun to play and polished, this isn't news, because new maps and episodes are released every year. Check Quaddicted for examples. Quake is still very much alive.
I've got a little trick that works on any old BIOS I've tried: just configure a hdd with the maximum allowed size in the bios prior to connecting the real hdd. Then it won't hang on autoconfigure/whatever and the maximum useable size will be used. I've done this trick on old 486/Pentium computers with 2gb/8gb limits and 80gb IDE drives which caused the BIOS to hang.
But there's something quite simple that could be done: printing each ballot and depositing it in a sealed box -- just like a regular voting system. After announcing the votes as counted by the machines, the process of counting the ballots can begin and the election results would only be promulgated if both counts match.
The votes are actually printed in paper, just in case the voting data is damaged:-)
Waninkoko's "custom firmware" is just a ripoff of PatchMii with reduced functionality. PatchMii actually downloads the IOS from Nintendo's servers, patches and install it. It's even easier to use. Waninkoko has a bad reputation on the wiibrew community for stealing credits, and, as always, he releases a new tool days after someone else do all the hard work and release it for free under the GPL.
PatchMii was created by bushing, one of the creators of the twilight hack. The unencrypted dvd read patch is by svpe based on an earlier patch for IOSes older than 30.

Using more memory or more disk space is not inefficient. A la contrair: it is nearly always more speed efficient than using less.
Cache misses? -Os frequently gives better speed than -O2
That is exactly the same bug that allowed the Nintendo Wii to be hacked in 2007. This makes me think about how long this has been abused in the wild.

In Google Earth you could always easily see a shallow landmass around New Zealand, so what's new here?

That's weird, I last ran Prince of Persia without emulation on a K6-2 @350Mhz and there were no speed problems.
And even on Windows 95 there was never autorun on diskettes anyway.
And they all have the LPC bus, which is software-compatible with the ISA bus
Actually, there was an ISA PnP specification that was widely used and worked more or less well. Also, PCI supports IRQ sharing.

What about a higher than normal solar activity and auroras?
So... A virus could force my ssd to die within days or months? Interesting, I hadn't tought about this!
I remember seeing some ARM netbooks in one of those china importers, but (surprise) it ran Windows CE by default!

Okay, here's what I use C++ for.
- writing games
And when using C++, I don't need:
- graphs
Someone else addressed your other points, and I will address this one.
Clearly you don't know how useful graphs are for writing bots. Especially when combined with space partitioning.
