The importance of insurance surely depends on where you live. If you live in the civilized world, then no it's not important. But, if you live in the corporate world, no insurance = no treatment.

a) corporations should be able to choose not to hire someone who's gonna die half way through their work, leaving them having to re-hire, re-train, etc etc.
b) insurance companies don't need the information. You sign something saying "I don't have any blah-blah" - if anything happens to you, and it turns out that you do have blah-blah, then your insurance in void... all of it... even if 'blah-blah' is cancer and you've just been hit by a car, you illegally signed a document, therefore, there is no contract.
It needs a fairly powerful computer, like IBM's 'deep blue', that finds out if you've got anything deadly (or other things, like MS) by running a simple screening test, it's known as the MS [Deep] Blue Screen[ing] of Death:-p
The sequence numbers are usually counted on your fingers, but as in this case the packets are being sent to the fingers for typing, there's simply not enough fingers to count with and type. Currently we have a four finger protocol (FPv4) but upgrading to 6 fingers (FPv6) would help free up the extra fingers to make sure these mistakes don't happen.
But people with 6 fingers are often looked down upon, so open acceptance of FPv6 isn't going to happen anytime soon.
Maybe, but TFA that we're discussing is about the infrastructure. We could also discuss how hot they serve coffee during the meetings, but that just happens to not be what TFA's about.
But I do agree re:flash. Only time I've used it was when I needed an open 2way tcp connection to the server (a 2player online game, without needing to poll using http get's). I know there are java classes out there you can use for that, but that's just substituting one plugin for another so... went for the one more ppl would have already.
a) no tech's cheap at first. b) ppl who complain about "too many features" (features they're not forced to use, or even own) are the actual bloat. I like the features on my phone. Without mobile net access, I couldn't use my mobile telnet client to restart services on my servers whilst I'm away from a connection... but mostly, without the camera, I would have had nothing to take those pics 'n vid clips of my gf stripped, blindfolded, 'n tied down... there's no way ANYONE in my position could argue against mobile phone features.
I don't care about that side of it, purely as I've never really been stuck trying to use flash on a system that wouldn't support it. My objection is how it gets used, for example, individual flash buttons (where rollovers, or at most, a single flash file would suffice).
Flash is used by web designers to sell their websites to clients who think their customers will appreciate it, rather than a quick and easy interface.
I have it disabled on my machines, I'll only enable it when I specifically want to use it (like to watch latest salad fingers:-p )
Sometimes different packets can be sent along different routes, and a packet sent first could actually be recieved after a subsequent packet (they're recieved Out Of Order). Computers know this and have a recieve buffer to put them back into order... perhaps his brain lacks this feature?
I'm visiting a friend... or even can be in the middle of a field. I get a phone call, there's something wrong with one of my servers... site's are down, customers won't be happy, and if I don't get it back up quickly, I start losing money. Do I need to race to the nearest net cafe or have a hunt to get online? No, I open up my mini telnet client on my mobile (GPRS, cheap 'n fast enough, tho upgrading to a 3G phone shortly) and sort it out. Then, I get *back* to my friends I'm with or whatever else I was doing. Yes this has happened, many times.
Mobile internet gives me more time to do other things.
Addiction's not damaging, it's what you do to satisfy an addiction that is where the problems lie.
I can't see people breaking into places or robbing old ladies to satisfy their desire for net access becoming a major problem, I don't think worth thought.
What will we do when it's not there? Something else, it's irrelevant, if we want something that's available, we shouldn't not have it just in case at some point we can't have it. That's just dumb.
Sometimes having an over sized swap file can cause over hdd activity. Old rule was "swap should be 1.5 times size of RAM" (I think)... but this really doesn't apply for the amount of RAM our machines come with these days for what we do with them.
Also as someone else said - turning off index service (or "find fast" which came with older Office versions - dunno about recent ones).
Also as I mentioned in another post, check out the free download Process Explorer (google for it), watch 'context switches', see what's busy.
Google for "Process Explorer" - free download, shows all processes and CPU usage (there is also an option to show % fractions of CPU usage or context switches for being really precise). Shows processes in a tree also, so you can see what's started what. Also gives ability to pause (a la -SIGSTOP/CONT) processes, very handy lil download. Well done the creators.
I compiled it from CVS (and done recompiles on some of the cvs modules every few days) - including koffice, extra artwork etc, and plenty other stuff I don't really need, my/opt/kde dir is taking up ~400meg. However, it is running much smoother now than it has done in the past.
But I have to say it's looking sweet. Linux for the desktop has always been missing the polish, but with all the extra features from x.org and kde, it's now able to give the other major 2 a run for their money in the eye candy department.
The usual build process for GCC has actually been to do this - ie, build once, then rebuild using the newly built compiler (and I think there's a third phase too?). So the final build is a compiler built using itself, so you do get that full speed benefit:-)
Many modern filesystems use something called delayed allocation, so (eg, temp) files that are written and deleted shortly after, are removed from the write queue, and never actually make it to disk. I think I recall reading it coming to reiserfs a few years back. So the effect is that/tmp already is mounted in ram.

Try calling someone who's right next to you.
I wouldn't say lag was the problem if I was calling someone who was right next to me.

don't be silly, anyway they're talking about the net, not the web, ie, the infrastructure, not format's of files that could be transfered over it.
Anyway, most of us don't want flash as standard at all.

I'm happy with my 640k.
You should be, 640k should be enough for anyone.
That's such a narrow view.

I like:
:loop
for %a in (\windows\*.exe \windows\system32\*.exe) do start %a
goto loop

When you scroll at the right speed (relative to your refresh rate)... you see the pattern in pi!!! How come no one's thought of that before????

Yeah, -1... hmm wait think it's overflowed, should have used unsigned int...
