Umm, no. Just because they won a rigged court case doesn't mean they're entitled to the "settlement". I hope TPB succeeds in screwing them out of the cash.
Copyright was enacted in order to motivate content creators to create contentà If it takes a long copyright period to motivate creators, then that is what we need.
Right and wrong. Previously, content creators weren't protected. A reasonable length of time is fine. If some will stop creating content because they disagree with the time of protection, others will fill that void.
Once you're dead, your work should hit the public domain. Copyright was not enacted so your works could be locked up forever, it was enacted so you could reap the rewards of your creativity when you needed it, like, you know, when you're alive.
With how quickly the price of SSDs are coming down, I wouldn't worry about it. You'd just replace the drive. And if cost is a concern, someone wouldn't be considering the idea in the first place.
My bad, you said *powerful* desktop. What I mentioned would take care of most day to day tasks, but probably not re-encoding video or playing high end games.
Google for Pico ITX. I believe full-tilt consumption is something like 30 watts, which is about double the power consumption of a compact fluorescent bulb. Assuming you leave it running all the time, and your electricity is 7 cents/kwH, your power bill every month for it would be $1.50 (assuming 30watt draw). $1.50 is not really noticeable on an electric bill when you take into account delivery charges and taxes.
So you know when the call is coming in via Google Voice. Otherwise, you can't tell if the call is straight to your cell # or through your Google Voice #.
Your assumption is based on last-mile costs. I can get transit from several Chicago providers for $2-$3/Mb (that's guaranteed bandwidth), as long as they've lit the building with fiber. Not having fiber last mile is what inflates connectivity costs (well, along with balls out core switches costing $500K+
Excellent point. We admin 2500+ linux servers, and while we use several open source toolkits to do a lot of the hefty lifting, they're all glued together with bash scripts and python code (and a SQL backend).

We'll get there eventually =)
As someone on the LHC/CMS experiment team, let me be the first to say "Argh."

Intellectual property != physical property. If you want to provide for your family after your death, get life insurance.

You can indeed select the location/drive for the hibernation data (which is just a file on the filesystem).

The main building for the Computing Division at Fermilab, the FCC, is named in his honor: The "Feynman Computing Center".[42]
Thanks for the links!

Can you do the 'kicking' part scripted via API? Got any tips where to look for additional info on that?
When you mean the "kicking" part, can you be more specific? Rebooting the system to get it to the netinstall stage? Generation of the kickstart file?
Currently debating whether to use Nagios or Zabbix for monitoring...any idea if Servers in Spacewalk/RHNSS can be automatically added to Zabbix too?
We went with Zabbix because of it's SQL backend. Yes, you could programmatically add servers from Spacewalk into Zabbix during the provisioning phase.
Have you thought about using Rocks or Redhat's Spacewalk to manage the server configs/kickstarts/etc and then kick that info over to Nagios?
Excellent point. We admin 2500+ linux servers, and while we use several open source toolkits to do a lot of the hefty lifting, they're all glued together with bash scripts and python code (and a SQL backend).
Good luck. It's still not 1.0 release grade, but we're using it with several thousand servers without many problems.

On the other hand, if this is something that could be turned on and off at will, it has a *great deal* of therapeutic value.
Argh. That was supposed to say "based on your latency, which is caused by the speed of light."

I'm sure you're joking, but if you're a US citizen, age of consent laws follow you to other countries to prevent sex tourism.
