Because if they give a Gigabits or Gigabytes number, you can calculate the true bitrate you can use (just divide over 30*24*3600 and voila), and they'll open the door for their competitors.

For example, ReactOS had a flamewar regarding the "stolen code from Windows", and it was nearly identical. There was this obsessive guy that got fed up over nothing just because his pride as a person was hurt. In the end he was just misinterpreting stuff. The other guy tried to be calm and understanding, but it didn't work.
In the end, it's just about one thing: Some developers, no matter how high their IQ is, are too full of themselves because they have a stupid complex and a low self-esteem.

AltaVista was started by Digital Equipment Corporation employee volunteers who were trying to provide services to make finding files on the public network easier.[citation needed] AltaVista was launched public as an internet search engine on 15 December 1995 at http://altavista.digital.com/
HotBot was one of the early Internet search engines and was launched in May 1996 as a service of Wired Magazine. It was launched using a "new links" strategy of marketing, claiming to update its search database more often than its competitors.
In January 1994, Stanford graduate students Jerry Yang and David Filo created a website named "Jerry's Guide to the World Wide Web". Jerry's Guide to the World Wide Web was a directory of other websites, organized in a hierarchy, as opposed to a searchable index of pages.
In April 1994, "Jerry's Guide to the World Wide Web" was renamed "Yahoo!".
And let's not forget about Archie and Veronica.
Veronica is a search engine system for the Gopher protocol, developed in 1992 by Steven Foster and Fred Barrie at the University of Nevada, Reno.
Veronica is a constantly updated database of the names of almost every menu item on thousands of Gopher servers. The Veronica database can be searched from most major Gopher menus.
So how did Google become popular?
Google began as a research project in January 1996 by Larry Page and Sergey Brin, two Ph.D. students at Stanford University, California. They hypothesized that a search engine that analyzed the relationships between websites would produce better results than existing techniques, which ranked results according to the number of times the search term appeared on a page.
Dear Microsoft: Search engines are a natural consequence of the World Wide Web. They didn't need you. Google got popular because of its indexing algorithm. Period.
Screenshot? could be photoshopped. Text Log? could be edited.
If instead of that, you have a text log, verified by the ISP and with a signed statement asserting that this text log effectively shows that the given binary conversation took place at the given time, and that the receiving end has a given MAC address, and if that MAC address can be certainly confirmed as belonging to the accused, now THAT's a completely different story.
Will large quantum computers be built? If so, what will they do to the cryptographic landscape?
Anyone who can build a large quantum computer can break today's most popular public-key cryptosystems: e.g., RSA, DSA, and ECDSA. But there are several other cryptosystems that are conjectured to resist quantum computers: e.g., the Diffie-Lamport-Merkle signature system, the NTRU encryption system, the McEliece encryption system, and the HFE signature system. Exactly which of these systems are secure? How efficient are they, in theory and in practice?
PQCrypto 2006, the International Workshop on Post-Quantum Cryptography, will look ahead to a possible future of quantum computers, and will begin preparing the cryptographic world for that future.
You chose to use proprietary software from a company that uses its control to illegally maintain a monopoly.
No, I DIDN'T. I'm FORCED to use it because it's a monopoly! And unlike you hobbist teenagers with nothing else to do, I NEED to use Windows for my job, see, I have a family to take care of. I don't have time to learn all the tricks to use linux, and I still find it lacking (dependency hell and what not).
So please move your fanboi thinking elsewhere, thank you.

I recall reading about nanotube filters which would filter out non-water molecules. See, carbon (the main component of hydrocarbons) is much larger than oxygen and hydrogen. It's very probable that hydrocarbons can't pass through this filter, either. But we'd have to test.
Perhaps chat clients should by default ban files with executable extensions, namely.exe,.com,.scr and.bat. Links should not even be shown to the user if the file is masked as.jpg,.png,.avi, or any non-executable extension.
