Google should just hire him and make a few more billion. Improving their auction process and integrating it would allow for relevant collages to be inserted into websites.
His idea was a one off because people won't keep coming to other sites. The idea can't be repeated as successfully. But instead adapt it to banner adds that allow a single banner ad to contain multiple relevant ads in a unique (and probably less irritating than flash) manner.
Incidentally, I wonder how much the/. effect is boosting his advertisers and helping him to sell the remaining pixels.
Or 20%+15%=35%
In large power plants the addition of a Rankine Cycle to the Otto Cycle for the Combined Cycle typically almost doubles efficiency.
Why do you think that full electric drive hybrids would be more efficient? More of your work going into the alternator and electric motor. Hybrids are more efficient when accelerating and braking (when regenerative braking is employed). The hybrid motor gives zero benefit while cruising at constant speed.
There are massive technical issues that lead me to be skeptical about the promise of this technology. One of them being that steam generators would not be easy to control in the stop-start environment of a car.

Their organised crime bosses pay better and give better conditions than so called legitimate software companies.
You may as well be writing worms as some of the stuff that big corporations like Sony are sending out.
Just encode your mp3 collection in lossless.
Or use it with Tivo to give yourself even more choice.
CCTV systems with multiple cameras could do all their backing up into one small system and easily maintain all their data.
300 GB is only a little over 6 times bigger than Blu-Ray (47Gb) and is smaller than some hard drives.
Its not difficult to find applications for it. In a few years the market will be there already. Might be especially useful if they sacrifice storage to get much smaller diameter. There'd be a whole new market for disks with the same capacity as Blu-Ray but that could be played in whatever generation of PSP is around at the time.
Sony only care slightly more about their employees than they do their customers. For it to be truely pyrrhic they'd have to lose money or a few executives.
Swaping blood samples by the patient would be one of the more common explanations for such a result. There are several reasons to do this. He may think that it will help his relationship with his lover (not as implausible as it sounds at first).
Continuing to have unprotected sex even where both partners are infected is not a good idea. AIDS, in combination with other STDs can have a much more serious health effect. If its true he is putting himself and his partner in danger.
By selling his story to the papers he is preempting the proper scientific investigation. He told the newspapers that he is willing to help and that the doctors were not taking him seriously but he has not yet cooperated with requests for further tests.
I hope he does help to find a cure but at the moment I am somewhat skeptical.
And the developer boxes use Rosetta for iLife.
When you put OSX on Intel Apple can put extra checks that stop you using the up to date iTunes etc. Think about it iTunes is already available for Windows and Apple probably already had the fat binaries ready even before the announcement. The reason that the iTunes is slow for OSX on x86 is that Apple want it to be slow at the moment. It's the only reason.
Aren't some people going to find it harder to pick out their state graphically than picking from a list. Not everyone knows what a world atlas looks like.
...to sue?
Perhaps we should put Darl McBride to some use his experience with massive frivolous lawsuits to force Flying Spaghetti Monsterism into Kansas Schools. I don't see how it could make things worse.
Dell only need to cut prices more than their competitors do to keep price competitive.
If fairness noone really expected Apple to make such a comeback. Dell have had a hard year but let's not get carried away.
They are the biggest computer manufacturer in the world and their market share is growing. They had an expensive product recall and the competition are doing well. They've tried to branch into new products that moved away from their core expertise.
You can't beat IBM and HP by selling blades online. It takes more than that. Must have cost a lot of money for Dell to get into blades, PDAs digital TVs etc. You should expect margins to tighten.
Dell still have the lowest costs. Don't expect Dell to die anytime soon.
Just started to read TFA.
It's embarrassingly bad even for a hoax. I particularly liked the reference to Mary-Sue Haliburton and the complete lack of understanding of how fuel cells worked.
OpenOffice.org are doing well. They have won this battle. M$ have tried to crush ODF by saying that they won't support it and tried to muscle customers into accepting their format. Now someone has stood up to them and they know that MA will just buy StarOffice they have to move onto phase 2.
They don't care (much) about the money of the MA contract. What they don't want is StarOffice to gain important market share and extra development cash. Once that happens other governments will follow.
M$ will give MA full OpenDocument support. But don't go thinking that the version of Office 12 you get with your Dell or on the shelf at Best Buy will have it. M$ will try and win the MA contract with Opendocument support but that doesn't mean they are gonna give that feature to everyone. Even making it a feature that you must install additionally from the 2nd CD would be enough to put most people off.
M$ haven't given up the war. In fact they still think they will win.
350k is less than is spent funding some PhD projects. Graduates with experience of open source in general and Linux in particular will be useful for FOSS.
Google get advertising and goodwill from sponsoring students. They also have the start of relationships and lots of information about students. For example students that collaborate with Google and receive grants from Google will be more likely to apply to work for Google and their work will bring them to the attention of Google.
350k of tax deductible cash isn't that much. Universities easily get locked into proprietary software. They are big customers of XP and Office. A huge amount of specialised proprietary software is discounted to universities to get it being used. Only a small amount of funding is needed and a little pushing is needed to get the GPL to turn (computer science departments of) universities into armies of FOSS coders.
Blu-Ray will be in the PS3. If HD-DVD beats Blu-Ray in the format war then the PS3 is gonna have an expensive not particularly useful component. Sony are using the PS3 to push Blu-Ray but they are taking a huge risk by putting their eggs in one basket.
M$ are neutral to formats because they aren't tied into either. But they know that a HD-DVD win would be good for Xbox 360 so hence they are supporting HD-DVD. If they supported Blu-Ray they would be helping Sony. In that sense M$ won't want the HP changes made to Blu-Ray to give HD-DVD another advantage to PC users (lower cost is the other major one).

meh, I'm just glad they didn't do anything REALLY controversial. Instead of Le Torrents you could have Le Soldiers in Iraq assisting the war on terror

You never know where some of those websites have been. Everyone should practise safe browsing and always use protection.

If I were a porn producer I'd add a soundtrack to a few explicit sex scenes and start selling them as adult music videos.
