Its just the next Windows server.
If you want to buy a Windows server its fine that you get 2K8 but there hasn't been a reason to upgrade a Windows server since Win2k.
Providing net neutrality means the ISP is giving up money it could have have made by using its monopoly power in one area to force new monopolies.
That is already wrong even before it gets to the level where its illegal.

Homeowners associations are notorious for mission creep - how long before they would want content filters?
There are two types of Audiophiles:
(1) Non-technical people who like knowing they have thousands of dollars in equipment, blissfully ignorant of the technical details, but trusting in the outlandish claims of the various companies.
(2) Technical people who know about skin depth, SNR, etc. and make informed purchases and more often than not (as in my case) build their own high end audio equipment. There is a third kind of audiophile. They may not be particularly technical but they largely base decisions on what actually sounds good to them...
Although it is a rare person who does not consider the opinions of others, this type of audiophile learns who has similar taste and trusts those opinions more.
Because in the information, to control the input. There is so much input available that control becomes essential. I don't block all ads - I intentionally do not block ads from sites I feel deserve my support.
Part of the blame rests on people who complain about spam but then buy things advertised through spam. Without this reinforcement spammers would be greatly diminished.
My experience has been that the average Windows users cannot even get Linux fully installed on an arbitrary older PC by himself in 10 days much less get comfortable with the operating systems. I've seen offices grind to a halt over changing one key program much less installing an operating system and all new programs.
So where does Google desktop stand on privacy issues? That has become the first thing I think about when the topic of personalized Google services come up - if Google is going to retain vast amounts of data forever then any privacy problems are multiplied.

>> Eventually it will be a lot harder for a 17-year-old to command an army of zombie PCs.

With two bezels side by side in the middle that's quite a large gap between screens and annoying for movies and games. I went with the 30" Olevia LCD TV/Monitor instead after considering the twin 17" Doublesight model. The resolution on the Olevia is only 1280x768 but the continuous real estate makes it superior for my uses. Besides, it's frequently on sale for $999. http://www.syntaxgroups.com/products/30inch_produc td.html
You're right, temperature difference is the right measure for thermo. You're also right that Celsius is a perfectly legitimate for temperature difference measurements since the difference from Kelvin cancels out.
My reading of the article, however, is that they were instead talking about percentage change in temperature and if that is what they meant then they erred by using Celsius.
You're right. I should have acknowledged that and made it clear my criticism was of the original article for bringing up the topic of percentage change in Celsius temperature.
Claiming percentage change in temperature in Celsius is meaningless...it's not an absolute temperature scale like kelvin.

One hundred drives at 250GB each would be 25TB... what do they cost now, about $150 each or $15,000 for the lot. But then in research, it's really quality not quantity that's important.
At least on TV, they say the money actually has to change hands before the prostitution bust is valid... but then they don't require that sex actually take place.

Nobody in the pay to download field has yet offered what the original Napster offered - great content in MP3 format.
To use the download services ties the typical user to a limited selection of software and portable players.
Even those of us able to convert protected content would sometimes rather avoid the extra hassle.
More inflation for everyone who doesn't cheat.

This is more like a gun dealer who continues to sell bullets to someone when he knows the previous bullets he sold the guy were used for a robbery.
That's beyond being a service provider and closer to being an accessory.
