For those of us that don't have perfect vision. All three designs have very small fonts. When I actually make the fonts big enough to read the formatting does not hold up.
To quote you "From the article. The result of more than five years of experimentation, this mailer transports approximately 1.4 million DVDs a day to Netflix's 4.2 million subscribers.This isn't even theoretically possible. This would require them to ship 3 DVDs per person per day."
No. This would mean they would ship one DVD every 3 days to each customer.
and a host of other PC optimization technologies...
So when did anti-virus, anti-spam, and a firewall become optimization technologies? My computer seems to run slower with these things installed.
Why do they always screw up Moores Law

Intel Makes 45nm Chip

· Score: 5, Informative
The new chip makes good on Moore's Law, an industry maxim set forth by Intel co-founder Gordon Moore that stipulates the number of transistors on a chip -- and therefore its processing power -- doubles roughly every 18 months to two years.
Who added the "and therefore its processing power" to the quote? Was it the reporter or someone from Intel? Moores law has nothing to do with processing power.
"The study indicates that dozens of companies are discovered each year to have violated the terms of GPL, and if they are public companies, they are violating Sarbanes-Oxley"
So only if they are violating the GPL they could be in violating of Sarbanes-Oxley. Just using linux does not put you in violation.
In an interview published by French Magazine Linux Pratique (issue #33), Général Brachet, in charge of IT for Gendarmerie Nationale explains why the French Military Police force (more than 100,000 personnel) has chosen to deploy Firefox and Thunderbird to respectively 70,000 and 45,000 seats. Here are a few excerpts:
Linux Pratique: What are the most important features of Firefox 1.5?
Général Brachet: These features are independent of the version number. The most important things about Firefox are its compliance with W3C standards and its availability on several platforms (Microsoft, Linux and Mac). When the Gendarmerie will deliver application on-line to homeland security organisations and, in the future, to citizens, it will not request the users to use any particular platform or piece of software from specific vendors. Using Firefox or any other Web-standards-compliant browser will be requested, independently of the platform (...)
Linux Pratique : How many seats are going to be deployed, and how long will it take?
Général Brachet : Starting January 1st, 2006, Firefox will be the browser of choice for the Gendarmerie. (...) This migration will impact every PC connected to the Intranet and the Internet, totalling 70,000 seats, before the end of the year 2006. Most of the Web services will be W3C-compliant by then. (...)
Linux Pratique : OpenOffice.org (last year), now Firefox, when will you swich to Linux?
Général Brachet : Thunderbird will be deployed as the only mail client on 45,000 seat in 2006. The idea is to provide every unit with a workstation and have it used daily. Every Gendarme will have four tools at his disposal: a bureautique suite, for writing documents and doing procedural work, a browser to access the Information Systems, a mail client to communicate and an antivirus. Our first goal is to migrate all the upper layers of the workstation to Open Source Software to be independent of the Operating System.(...)
It's a great pleasure to see this important project being finally revealed to the general public, and to see Gendarmerie Nationale understand the importance of Open Source Software and Web standards. It uses them, and even gives back some code the the community, while telling the world about it. If I had a wish for 2006, it would be to see large users do the same, and tell publicly that they use Open Source projects. For them, it would be a way to give back to these projects something they really need: visibility.
The executables as still signed. It is common for supporting data files to be un-signed. The executable usually does a hash check on its datafiles to make sure they haven't been messed with. It seems like everyone jumps on every little thing about the inner workings of the XBox 360 as a major exploit. The sensationalism is just getting boring.
At our site we have about 100 users. We get around 65000 messages a day with about 0.5% being real emails. Each day we get email sent to about 4000 different user names. So I guess the can spam act does work after all.

Let us remember that there are multiple theories of Intelligent Design. I and many others around the world are of the strong belief that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. It was He who created all that we see and all that we feel. We feel strongly that the overwhelming scientific evidence pointing towards evolutionary processes is nothing but a coincidence, put in place by Him....

You hire a bunch of special effects and visual effects people. You have the special effects people build the props and rig the practical effects and film it on set. Then you have the visual effects people work in dark rooms for months on end tweaking the visual effects until they are just right.
It's a movie people, it does not exist in real life!
We were doing almost the same thing over 12 years ago a Georgia Tech using polarized glasses and an active shutter on the screen. Could not really find any useful application for it...

"They'd download it...". It would help if you would at least get the grammer right in the ad. The design is very ugly.

No. This would mean they would ship one DVD every 3 days to each customer.
Moore's law has nothing to do with computing power. Moore's law is about the number of transistors on a chip.
Lets hope the industry learns soon. There are recent products shipping with rootkits on them like the german release of Mr. and Mrs. Smith. http://www.f-secure.com/weblog/archives/archive-02 2006.html#00000810

How will this kill flash if I can not run it under other operating systems besides windows?

This was old news back when it was posted in http://hardware.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/05/ 11/1756259&tid=222 This time it is cooking oil instead of mineral oil. There are fluids specially designed for this sort of task that will not go rancid like the oil.
