How is this not a +5, insightful? He is the only one here that seems to know what he's talking about! Did everyone here forget about the plummeting prices for DRAM and NAND we've been getting for the past couple years? I'm curious, is it different in Europe?
I think maybe Adblock Plus, or some other trustworthy party should generate a list of companies and adservers that comply with delivering non-intrusive, friendly, good quality ads so that users could allow those ads to go through, while blocking all other ad content. If an advertiser on the good list then comes along with a pop-up or some flash that takes over the whole screen, users should be able to vote them off the list. That way, we aren't judging the website or blaming the user, who are not the people who are the problem. The websites, knowing full well that the ads from the advertisers on the good list are being delivered to the user, will let those advertisers use their space over the other advertisers and in the end it would be the advertisers who would have to change to become more friendly to the users. I think users all just want the highest quality of content to be delivered to them, and we need to teach the advertisers this and not penalize the already proven quality of the websites we frequently visit.
One thing I've always wondered is how conductive these wires are. Apparently, very, so what in the protein sequence makes them this way? Pretty cool that proteins can go from stretchy and strong as silk to stiff as collagen to conductive as these things are.

Great! Mynocks. They're chewing on the power cables.

I guess these guys have never heard of them.
Vivendi destroyed my favorite game company, so I'm not shedding any tears.
