I suppose it depends how you want to define "protect". After its recent redefinition by the Bush administration, "protecting America" refers to the unprovoked invasion of sovereign nations which posed no threat to America.
With the recent sabre-rattling directed at Iran and Syria, the definition of "protect" might become even more perverted and twisted.
I've already given both my arms and legs (I type with my nose now), offered my first born son and my soul to read the NYTimes articles. What else could they possibly want?
Indeed, this is a good use for their talent. How do we know that? Because they're being paid very well to provide these services.
Indeed, what they're doing is valued by many, many people. And thus people are willing to pay very much for these services. Thus they are allocating their talents to the best possible use; that is, the use that society values most.
Do they allow the advertisers to reject clicks from certain countries, such as the Asian nations often known for invalid ad clicks? Or perhaps they have an option to allow the advertisers to select which countries the ads will be displayed in?
While it of course would be impossible to stop all such ads from being displayed or clicked in a certain country, it could help to cut down on the fraudulent and useless ad clicks. It would at the very least force such operations to go through a proxy in some other nation.
Solaris has offered that functionality for years. Perhaps you'd just be better of using Solaris instead of Linux. Considering Sun's recent actions, it is a very viable option these days.
How is it a "troll"? It's obviously pointing out a very real flaw with regards the Slashdot news reporting.
Kids these days throw around the word "troll" like politicians throw around the words "terrorist" and "communist". It is often used out of context and at the wrong times, and thus has no true meaning any longer.
I recall some Canadian relatives discussing a bunker called the Diefen Bunker. I think they said it's a tourist attraction now. They give tours as if it were a museum.
But by the time this technology becomes widely used, assuming something faster isn't found by then, we may very well have low-end home systems that can easily handle that much data.
1 Tb of data is approximately 125 GB. The movie they're talking about is half of that, thus 62 GB. And that's probably not compressed. A PC with even just 64 GB of RAM could easily buffer such a movie in-RAM. With 500 GB hard drives being fairly mainstream today, saving such films isn't even that much of an issue, even without taking into account possible space savings via compression.
It's more data that most common people work with now, but overall it really isn't a whole lot.
How representative of Indian culture is Indian MTV? Is it a station that is involved with the American MTV in any way, or is it just a wholly-Indian equivalent?
I have seen Monsoon Wedding. Again, I wasn't impressed. I heard many positive reviews of Naseeruddin Shah's performance, but I think it was lacking. Perhaps it was just the low quality of the editing that was most disappointing.
Indeed, they often do use dance and song. Take a look at many 1950s movies from Hollywood. You basically have the same thing going on there, especially in non-musicals.
That could be because many of the top Bollywood performers are also singers. They become famous because of their music, and then get top billing in many of the Bollywood movies. It only makes sense for them to sing, as that is their first talent, before acting.
I have seen Bollywood films such as Mashooka, Saathiya, and Yeh Dil, amongst others. While I'm not a fan of American cinema, I think I am even less of a fan of Indian cinema. I found their films less than entertaining. The plots often lacked originality, and the filmmanship was subpar. They're often billed as being professional-quality, but the editing, audio and the general direction was often quite bad.
They are lacking overall, especially when compared to the masterpieces that regularly come from mainland Europe. Not that I'm suggesting every European movie is better. But if you pick one at random, the European one will most likely be far better done, the quality of the acting will be much greater, and it will be far more coherent.
If there's one good thing about the Bollywood films, especially compared to Hollywood ones, is that they're far less commercialized. That is, they're not plastered with ads for Coke, for instance.
I find it even funnier that Republicans throw a massive tantrum with regards to abortion in the US, even when done under the best possible circumstances (ie. as early as possible, and so forth). Yet they feel compelled, eager and even overjoyed to participate in the mass slaughter of actual Iraqi and Afghani children via their "war on terror". Then again, your Republicans these days are as hypocritical as your Democrats.
I'm just suggesting that their review of scientific material by such creationists is beneficial to all scientists. Their attempts to prove science wrong will weed out the results and data that may be falsified. That in turn will bolster the quality of scientific material.
Indeed, we ideally would see a case where the intelligent design people completely prove themselves wrong, all due to their attempts to prove science wrong (but at the same time strengthening science by helping to eliminate bad data).
I truly hope the creationists go insane about this. I hope they scrutinize every piece of scientific data they can find. Why is that? Because that'll make the data that much stronger. Indeed, it will help greatly if they can also help the scientists weed out false or incorrect results.
They'll most likely get reassigned to other professors, and perhaps will have learned to be more vigilant with regards to falsified data. This may be the best thing that has ever happened to them. They've seen what happens first hand when data is abused in such a fashion.
Indeed, the main problem is money. They're not doing science for the sake of good science. They're doing science so they can make money (to live and to continue to do science to make money), and sometimes that may necessitate the modification of results and data.
Just think about what could be done without the monetary restrictions, or even if they could be significantly reduced. If the US had instead used for scientific research the $200 billion they wasted on Iraq, who knows how far ahead of the world they could be. Investing that much money in something constructive, like scientific research, would reap tremendous benefits. Even half of that dollar figure could fund a lot of cutting-edge research.
The article also mentions the time he spent in a U.S. internment camp.

It does help that it uses SWT, rather than Swing. So you're getting the speed benefits of using native widgets, as well as the avoidance of the performance-awful Swing framework. Then again, Azureus isn't exactly a large application like OO.o.

Your penis, and at least one testicle.

The price is pretty much irrelevant in this case. The fact is that manufacturers such as Seagate are offering 500 GB drives meant for personal use.

Are you a fucking moron?
The article is discussing data transmission speeds of "one terabit per second." TERABITS.
A terabyte is 8 times as large as a terabit. Thus 1 Tb == 1 TB / 8 == approx. 125 GB.
Can you please read the goddamn topic summary? Like it clearly says, we're discussing data transmission speeds of "one terabit per second."
Please don't join into our discussions if you don't even know what we're talking about.
