The dumbest statement in the article is: "The only known complete fix is DNSSEC".
There is still the tradeoff between signed DNS information and who you trust to do the signing. I agree that they can get the root servers signed ok - its a small list and doesn't often change. What happens when they get to the millions of second level domains? Do they really think they can guarantee authentic signed DNS records for every.com domain out there? Good luck with that. They are going to have automated systems to update the information and somebody is going to figure out how to get in and modify records, most likely an inside job at the registrars.
Exxon Mobil revenue 2006: $335B, 2007: $404B. Just 20.5% growth and mostly due to price increase, not sales volume. Oil is a similar market to music in that it also has free competitors: walking and cycling. You only pay for oil because driving a car is more convenient.
I would argue that using P2P downloads is a lot more convenient than cycling to work, even tho Exxon Mobil doesn't sue cyclists for their lost revenue. That legal downloads grew 53% shows a lot about the market for music. P2P is not killing the industry; the CD album format is.
"IFPI, an international music-industry association, found that 1.7 billion music tracks were downloaded worldwide in 2007, up 53 percent from the previous year. That number includes tracks from full-album downloads but excludes full-track downloads over the cellular airwaves directly to MP3-playing cellphones."
Name another business that grew 53% between 2006 and 2007.
#3 is misleading for another reason. It doesn't matter whether power is "inefficiently" consumed by the power supply or "efficiently" consumed by the CPU, it all ends up as heat. Only the total wattage matters for power consumption.
When computers are overloaded first smoke comes out, then there is a huge explosion. I've seen this in dozens of movies and Star Trek episodes. Your PC is probably so cheap that it didn't come with a self-destruct mechanism. I recommend Windows ME.
According to the DOE 1,787,910 thousand metric tons of CO2 are released by coal to generate 1,881,571 million kWh, which if my calculator has not failed me, means that generating the 100 kWh used by the device to capture one metric ton of CO2 would release less than 0.1 metric ton of CO2. So it has about a 10:1 advantage which could be increased with technological improvements.
It's not the justice's job to go find out technical details. The lawyers making the case need to hire the experts if necessary and present the relevant facts to them in the briefs. If a brief is wrong or misleading, then the other side needs to point that out, not the justices. They aren't ruling on facts, they're ruling on law. If a brief says that 62,283,583 is prime the justice is not obligated to try and factor it.
Not true. There used to be postal chess, where you sent your move to your opponent on a postcard. Open tournaments have been killed off by technology - it is too simple to cheat with a computer to win.

I thought that was flamebait. Are you some kind of moron?

Authorized, paid downloads are rising:

There should be a $150,000 fine enacted immediately to offset the damages.
Paul Anderson's record lift was 6270 pounds, so I guess he weighed over 2000 pounds. That is quite amazing.

While you're waiting, think about that poor fellow who saw his friend at the airport and yelled "Hi, Jack!"

Only you can prevent fungus fires.
The choice was to take the laptop or an Eee? Are they morons?
"The laptop contained "strategic information for the [Republican Party] on how we are going to reach out to people in the Kansas City area".
In other words, their plans were all on there for how to prevent the downtown residents from voting.
Yes. There have been 1500 extra 'funny' moderations in this thread.
