Frontier lab's L1 (love1) fulfilled all of these requirements except for #4, it wasn't reliable in my hands. First month was cradled like a baby, but still had to mail to Hong Kong for service. 3 mos. later, having another major problem. It is a shame it is built so badly, because it is: 1) cheap ~200 for 20gb when iPods were ~$300 2) nothing proprietary or DRMd, though it did support WMA 3) built in FM radio play and recording and recording from mic/line in for recording lectures, etc. 4) interfaced with software frontend, or as external hd.
Why can't someone just build the same thing, but make it a quality product? I would gladly spend a little more for the reliability!
I too don't have flash or java enabled b/c of popups and such (and most of flash/java i see is for ads anyway).
Though I use firefox at home, at work sometimes I use safari. I like their implementation of java, where the space is allocated in the page for the applet, but it isn't loaded and only a little java icon is there. If you want to see the java program, you just double click and then it loads. I would like to see a plugin like this for flash and java on firefox. It could be the best of both worlds. Easy access to java/flash when required, but reduces the annoyances.
Would it still count as routine if it was scheduled every day, but you could just postpone it if you were using the computer, like chkdsk at windows startup? If you don't postpone, it could be defined as routine because the schedule was in place before the request for documents. It would only be lack of user action to save the documents that leads to their destruction. Legally, this could be a very different case, though practically it is identical.
The areas flooded upstream of the generators decompose underwater and release large amounts of methane, which is a far worse greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide. This has not been factored into the "green" calculations for most hydro stations.
I think you are overestimating the cost of decomposition. It is not recurring; this is in a way a one-time setup cost. You are right that every cost need be looked at in cost-benefit analysis, but the longer the hydroplant is in operation, the more the up-front costs will be averaged out.
Voice control of a TV remote isn't the same as voice-controlling a computer, as there is already or will be a BIG TV MAKING LOUD NOISES IN YOUR VICINITY.
If this catches on, will the FCC outlaw shows that say "power off" and such as they can cause device interference?

Oops. I mean censor the language, not outlaw the show. (And if the voice-control device is built into the TV, is it intraference?)
