> Yes, so when I write an expose' in your local paper alleging your repeated involvement in group orgies with preschoolers, I'm sure you'll be happy I have the right to commit libel.
I knew someone was going to say that.
No. My local newspaper purports to be accurate and non-libelous. Wikipedia does not. The difference (almost) is between something in a newspaper, and something scribbled on a bathroom wall.
Meanwhile, you have the right to commit libel, as I have the right to sue you for it, if I can prove that you said it. Seigenthaler has the same option. What he is advocating is prior restraint.
And so we live in a universe of new media with phenomenal opportunities for worldwide communications and research -- but populated by volunteer vandals with poison-pen intellects. Congress has enabled them and protects them.
From something I read somewhere:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
It says the board of the "National Institute on Media and the Family" is: David Walsh, Ph.D.; Douglas Gentile, Ph.D.; (his wife) Erin Walsh; Nat Bennett; Brad Robideau; (his daughter) Monica Walsh, MA; Sarah Strickland, David McFadden.

"Increasingly, revenue is generated not by selling content and digital works, as they can be freely distributed at almost no cost, but by offering services on top of them. The success of the free software model is one example,"

These are U.N. peole (think University board members - only more useless) who play with words for a living.

To a certain extent, you're right. Faster rotation means higher transfer rates and lower rotational latency. But the Powerbook drive spins at 4200 RPM to save power. More RPMs means more watts means less battery life. The external Firewire drive, with its own in-the-wall power, can use as much power as it wants, and therefore have a faster motor and bigger cache.
A 3-platter 8.9mS seek-time 7200 RPM drive with a 16MB cache? You better use this puppy for video files, 'cause the only thing that's more tuned for sequential access is a tape drive.
So I've been running Prime95 since before Seti came out. I don't even know it's there any more, but sometimes I think running Folding@home might be more socially responsible.

And no, I'm not gonna be the one to do it.

This thread is mostly over my head, but wouldn't this be a good place to use maggots to clear out the necrotic tissue?
What are the odds?

Because, of course, the aliens use binary Von Neumann machines with register/accumulator architectures, and instruction sets we're familiar with.
Nonsense. Lex Luthor was a fiendishly clever meglomaniac.
Margot Kidder is still bouncing around. Last seen doing cameos on Smallville.

Well, they are processing observational data, so yes, it is possible to have too many people processing it.
