That's the smartest thing that's been said here. Except the infrastructure of running superhuge data centers, plus the massive (both direct and indirect) networking, and the cost of having thousands of PhDs on staff is several orders of magnitude more expensive than for a TV network. Google sells a product, "consumer eyeballs" to customers (advertisers), anything they do to narrow the demographic "band" they can target for a particular ad makes their product more desirable.
Asimov (IIRC in 1966's The Universe, From Flat Earth to Quasar) proposed that Io would be the data center of the solar system because it was essentially in Jupiter's atmosphere already, and could harvest the hydrogen/helium in Jupiter's upper atmosphere.
So an eyewitness is as guilty as the perpetrator?
So General Motors and their dealerships are responsible for thousands of instances of vehicular manslaughter?
I'm sorry, I don't think I like "authorized by failing to prevent" as a legal precedence.
No, I really don't think that's silly. People (enterprises included) generally upgrade operating systems as part of a new machine purchase. The number of people who buy the latest Windows to upgrade an existing machine are a vanishingly small portion of the total licenses sold.
Vista, formerly known by its code name of Longhorn, is due out about a year from now, well within the lifetime of any PC you purchase today. I assume most consumers running Windows will want to upgrade to Vista.
Which is just plain wrong. Consumers don't upgrade operating systems. They use the one that came with the box until they need a new box. Techno-nerds and enterprises upgrade operating syatems. In the case of Vista, enterprises have stayed away in droves.

...but they were all underdeveloped.
Actually, I did Google it first, but I failed to notice that the last word of "Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose" got cut off in my copy/paste.
Priceless

I'm thinking "The Blue Quench of Death", myself.
I'm reminded of the classic line from "Good Morning Vietnam":
"You are in more dire need of a blowjob than any white man in history."
I'm not sure how I feel about this.

Christoph Adami's Introduction to Artificial Life. He's a closet physicist and it shows. Do at least read the TOC before you dismiss it.
The last (IT) dead tree I bought that wasn't out of date was K&R (in 1979). I still buy them, though. Paper is kewl. huhhh huhh huh
Just in time to be out of date.
I blow my nose at you, so-called "Arthur King", you and all your silly English K-nigg-its.
The lawyers have failed to stop Godzirra!! Run! Run for your lives!
There goes Tokyo!

I know my brain froze when I read that.

So I guess this means that the Jews (and the Catholic Church and the Masons) really were responsible for 9/11 - after all, they failed to prevent it.
It was a dark and stormy night.
Here's a picture of the prototype.
Because the studios obviously think the Australian government is more likely to roll over and do what they want than the Swedes?
