Ditto. I've been a happy user for around 2 years. Switched my Wife's domain e-mail to it too. She used to complain about her e-mail all the time when I had her set up on the hosts service. She hasn't complained once since the switch. Thanks Google!
Back in 2002 when I was working for a software company that was using OCR on hundreds of thousands of images, I was pushing clustered computing. I had an engineer (not one of ours) tell me that it would probably never be practical to develop software to take advantage of multiple processors. I wonder what he would say today.

Over the last few months the Obama campaign lost momentum
I'm annoyed that he seemed to lay down the last few months rather than put forth a bit more effort to nip this primary in the bud. I voted for him in the primary but he's going to have to work for my vote in the general election.
McCain actually doesn't support torture - He was at the front of the line to attack the Bush administration for their views. He knows how well torture works (or doesn't) as he was on the receiving end in Vietnam.
most of the stuff edison 'invented', actually was stolen from tesla. you even do not know he invented and promoted alternative current to carry electricity along long power lines, where edison was foolishly insisting on direct current.
please, pal, this is slashdot, get real. go study some science history. As per Wikipedia Edison told Tesla he would offer him $50,000 if Tesla could improve on Edison's inefficient generators. Tesla did - Edison re-nigged on the deal - Tesla wanted a raise from $18/week to $25/week - Edison refused - Tesla quit and eventually took a job digging ditches.
So... I do know my history. I know that Tesla would have had more patents than Edison had Edison not screwed him over.
Since when was Slashdot not able to take a joke.
BAH!
Between driver's licenses, utilities, medicare, social security, public school enrollment, arrests, and other records, a good statistician should be able to get an answer that is close enough. To double check the results, canvass a few dozen randomly chosen counties, then adjust accordingly. I seem to recall the existence of some law that prohibits such cross-agency information sharing.
It's really hard to believe that it costs more to produce a CD than it does to produce a DVD when movies cost a hell of a lot more to make. One difference is that movies also play in theaters and popular movies often make back their investment from theatrical distribution - DVDs are just icing. Although, for the 95% failures, DVD sales can be the last hope.
No one can be president or leader of a nation and be corruption free. An easy target is Bush. His religion encourages him to turn the other cheek but that is not what happened after 9/11. His religion encourages him to love his neighbor and to treat him as he would want to be treated. Yet a fence between his country and Mexico says otherwise. The examples in this case are endless. Sigh...
1 - Off topic... along with me too (and I still had a moderator point but I have too much personal bias on the subject)
2 - Separation of church and state - The president is supposed to govern in alignment with his constituency.
3 - Bush's policies on the matter are quite liberal in all reality. And I'm largely liberal!
4 - Illegal immigrants disregard our rules and feel entitled to our services and drain our resources. I dare you to sneak into Canada, drink all their beer and demand justice when you get shot in the bum with buckshot for crapping on some guy's lawn. You'll get the boot back to the states.
5 - Fix and streamline the H1A visa process (I think that's the one the farmers are "supposed" to use.)
6 - Mexico is loosing quality people. Fix your own back yard... Viva Revolution!
I apologize in advance for my rant. Sheep chatter get's annoying.
... This is a so-called "feature" marketed as "Power Boost", "Speed Boost" or "Quickie". Apparently, the expected behavior of this feature is to increase the connection speed of the first few seconds of a download then drop it down to a lower speed. If you want to learn more, there are a few earlier posts that explain this in more detail and dozens that explain it in less detail.

Perhaps owning computers is a privilege and not a right! Why else would they call it a software licenses.
Until OS X, Apple has always been a locked-up platform. One reason they chose BSD over Linux is because BSD allowed them to release altered versions of the kernel without being required to publicly release the source code. I'm not saying it's right, just that it is. If you want free computing use FreeBSD, Linux, etc. We'll have to wait to see what they do regarding privacy. I doubt it will be any different than it is now.
Maybe Intel's 80386DX -- In 2006 I would guess some variety of P4 and/or M. In 2007 who knows what they'll put in their high end machines. There may not be a complete abandon of the RISC architecture for Apple. If Intel's SSE registers are independent of their CISC interpretation layer I could see them striping out the CISC layer and going only with RISC (I believe Intel has been making hybrid CISC/RISC processors since the Pentium). This unknown processor would probably be included in the FAT binaries and any software which is tweaked for a specific processor architecture would likely only need to be recompiled. I would guess eliminating CISC would make their processors more efficient since they wouldn't need to interpret for an old legacy architecture. Apple using Intel processors is nothing new. Just look inside your iPod. It has an ARM processor and ARM is owned by Intel. This is only a semi-educated guess.
Please educate me if I've made any unlikely assumptions.
Slashdot Mirror
no wonder the images NASA shows us are sweet, warm, smooth, full, and very detailed. Must be a NOS tube they are using
No, it's because the probe uses Monster Cable interconnects!
That's a myth. It's totally the tubes.
Don't you mean Forthegoodofhumanity.bat?

You know that form factor us up to 8GB now.

Bah! The man was a crackpot. What did he ever do anyway? All he did was dig ditches while Edison was perfecting his DC power thingamajig.
