It's not just money. We use a lot of oil in this country. Although most of our oil imports come from Canada (I think we should annex Canada), a significant fraction comes from the middle east, Venezuela, Nigeria, and other places that don't like us very much (Canada is also debatable). Therefore, in order to reduce the geopolitical importance of these areas, we need to decrease our oil consumption.
What I want to know (but neither the summary nor Adobe's announcement say) is how the exploit actually works. No details are given other than that the reader and flash are vulnerable.
Haha! I can relate. During my residency I was playing Guild Wars for 6 hours a night. Near the end, I had to sell my computer in order to study for my board exam.
Non-hybrids already do that too. When going uphill, the vehicle will obviously use more fuel. Going downhill, the vehicle will use less fuel due to gravity assist. Also the fuel injectors shut off when the throttle isn't pressed, thus using no fuel.
What I don't understand is why build the data centers in Silicon Valley? Why not build somewhere cheaper, like the midwest, and have the sales office in Silicon Valley?
The break even point is much less than 3 minutes. It's actually around 7-10 seconds. And it's a fairly noticeable improvement in MPG, depending on your city driving miles. I've gotten upwards of 4-5+ MPG per tank with turning the engine off vs. idling at the stop lights.
AmigaOS was the first truly successful multi-windows system.
Before that there was the Apple Lisa.
Sorry, OP, and sorry Slashdot editors who were sleeping on the job. Windows 3.0 was a joke, is a joke, and will always be a joke.
"First [lol] truly successful [LOL] windows [ROTFLMAO!!!]"
E Amiga. Lisa. X-11. And someone thinks winblows3.0 is "the first truly successful" oh god I'm laughing so hard.
FTFS:
The first truly successful Windows operating system is...
This is in the context of MS Windows. Yes, there were windowing environments before MS Windows. But MS Windows 3.0 was the first truly successful version of Windows.
Apple is now hated slightly less than MS, which is pretty significant given how maybe a decade ago they were not hated at all. That's what happens when you become a corporate behemoth.
Corporate CEO not entirely honest? Oh, my, bring the smelling salts, I feel faint.
The problem is that there is a cult of personality surrounding this particular CEO. Name any other CEO who engenders this type of fanatacism. Lou Gerstner? Nope. Larry Ellison? Nope. Jack Welch? Maybe only for certain business types, but for his employees definitely not.
Daedalus flew too close to the sun, melted his wings, and died.
His father, Icarus, the creator of the wings, then landed and never flew again in mourning over his son, who's death Icarus was in part responsible for.

The description sounds like being a sumo wrestler, except for the video game part.

My connection is 150 kB/s on AT&T DSL. Honestly, I don't even need anything that fast. That was the slowest and cheapest thing I could get.

but where are the games?

Actually, Windows, since 2.x, had pre-emptive multitasking, but only for programs running in DOS terminals.

See the wikipage:
processor: xscale - 319 MHz
memory: 32 MB
Also has wifi.
And it can run Debian!
I thought they were intelligently designed?
Similar but not quite. We infected cells, not entire people.
Or just produce people with the CCR5-32 gene variant.
Where's GuacamoleAnalogyGuy when you need him???
Except a lot of Flash videos are encoded in H.264. The *.flv format is just a container.

Just because Adobe's reader is the most prevalent doesn't make PDF any less of an open standard.

What makes you think I'm not? Besides, it amuses me.
I make it a point to disseminate misinformation about me. That's one of the main things I learned watching DS9 (especially with regard to Elim Garak).
Such as the guy who beat World of Warcraft!
Boo. In fairness, it's not the girl's fault at all.
In all fairness, she looks somewhat like the Borg queen. In all fairness, some people claim the Borg queen is doable...

Mythology fail! Icarus flew too high and fell.
