If you pay $1000/GB for a disk, a SCSI-controller isn't exactly expensive. The hardware that these disks are connected to isn't usually your regular Dell home computer. 2,5" and 3,5" Flash-memory SCSI-disks has been around for many years.
Because these are bigger and, uh, really expensive?
I'm not sure if you're trying to be funny or not, but large flash disks has always been expensive. I've also had an disk that was more expensive than a car in my hand, but that one was "only" 3 GB. (3,5" SCSI)
The other day when I was blowing all the dust out of my case, I saw all those unused power cords strung about all over the place and wished I could get rid of them.
I saw Spider-Man 2 with 6 friends yesterday. Ordeded the tickets online two days in advance on the internet (paid with VISA). I didn't have to stand in line, I just went straight to the counter to pick up the tickets 5 minutes before the movie started. Before the movie a few of us got something to eat, and after the movie we went out to have a couple of beers/coke. Watching a movie at the cinema isn't just the movie, it's also about getting out and doing stuff with friends.
I paid about 10 UK pounds (about $18 or something) for a week at Easy Internet Cafe in London a few years ago. No time limit other than that (they closed at 2AM).
My email account at work used to get about 100 spams/day earlier this year, now it's down to 60-70. (This is the spams that hits the spam filter, only 2-3 slips through each day).
I hate it when people applies real world constraints to the computer. Yes, each folder is a seperate entity, but that doesn't mean that you have to treat it as such whenever you handle it. Instead of thinking that each folder has its own window, you can treat the window as a view inside your file system. Opening a new folder is just like switching channels on the tv. As someone else mentioned, each window does not have to represent the folder itself, but rather the current task.
I'm also one of those "few" people browsing the web using just one window (opera). Web browsing is usually one task, thus one window. It's also quite practical if I want to move the browser to the other monitor. Instead of moving 10 windows I can now move one. If I want to use both monitors, I just detach one of the document windows (or create a new window) and move that window.
I mean, will the software generate the same suggested route given the same input conditions?
The software is only a small part of such a system. You also need good methods for acquiring and distributing data. If you know that a bridge is destroyed or that a lake is no longer safe for vehicles, the software may give you a different route than the other sides software.
As someone else said, put out a shoutcast stream with the tunes. But that's not all. Write a WinAmp/XMMS/other player-plugin with some buttons to put the current song in a shopping cart. The listener can then review all the tunes in the cart, maybe listen to other stuff by the same artist and then purchase the music he likes.
Oddly enough, when I clicked on those satellite image links, my WiFi connection went out. I had to remove the WiFi card from the laptop and reinsert it to get my connection back.
You probably forgot to install the tin foil wifi antenna protection kit.
Seriously though, if there is something there, what did the commercial observation satellites detect? Any idea where we can have a look at some hi-res photos of Area 51?
In case you didn't know, there is an excellent search engine called Google which gives you the answer. Just search for groom lake satellite pictures and you'll get this as your first hit.
I have a question for the anti-Moore (and anti-Bowling For Columbine) Americans here:
Why do you think there are more gun deaths (and murders) in the United States than in other western countries? As far as I remember, Moore addresses this question in Bowling For Columbine, but doesn't give an answer (although he give some hints of what he thinks).

The only reason to use the built-in digital zoom instead of zooming in photoshop is when you're using JPEG. If you use lossless compression or no compression at all photoshop is (probably) better.
It's strange the neither the Toshiba Gigabeat nor any of the MPMan-players are included in this review. Some of the MPMan-players got a battery life of 50 and even 100 hours.

I'm not sure how practical it is for all free cross-platform projects to establish a trusting relationship with Trolltech in order to use Qt/Windows, but it might be a solution...
If a developer got a Qt/Win commercial license, can he/shethen compile an open source program and distribute the binary? I checked the license agreement for Qt/Win and didn't find anything about that...

I think the Scrabble developers should add numbers. I've always wanted to lay down PWN3D.

Flash disks. They've been around for quite a while, why do a slashdot story now?
...more like a win-linux situation.

Just buy more hardware.
