Sure, our summers are warm too (max 110 degF for less than a week), but our power is also ridiculously cheap. Quite a bit of it is piped/lined to California, and we're still settling cases after Enron's fiasco.
In addition, we've got a nice fiber pipe that already runs through the area, with three local PUDs that have quite a lot of fiber-to-the-home available in city areas. Some rolling to rural as well.
Yahoo, Microsoft and Intuit have all found great reasons to be here in north-central Washington as well (in that order). Sabey has Intergate.Columbia going up right now, with a proposed opening of this fall, if I remember correctly.
I wish I had mod points to remove your Flamebait. In my area, which is by no means too large, there is a several year waiting list just on Hybrids.
And most of the car companies say they have to 'slash production' because there isn't enough demand! Ahh, internal combustion engine, how I'd love to lose thee.
...Give azureus some network topology information & you won't need to throttle as much... Ah, you bring up Azureus. It used to have a plug-in installed by default that was supposed to allow ISPs some caches on their own network. Would have been an interesting idea, too.
BTW, GP...That's $528 Million, that's MILLION, as stated by your own article.
That's estimated to have saved them half a billion over 11 years by that article's author. Still would have been nice to have for the Alaskan Way Viaduct, I suppose.
And don't forget that all three of those (Douglas, Chelan and Grant) are getting/have gotten several different datacenters (Yahoo, Microsoft already in; some others pending), which should say something about the availability. Great stuff.
I was under the impression that VLC would only use open-sourced codecs. So, even a reverse-engineered codec wouldn't necessarily make its way into VLC, right?
Afterall, the VLC people themselves aren't the ones CREATING and MODIFYING the codecs, just packing them with their player and making sure they work correctly.
Not that the LANGUAGE of science uses kilometers, meters and all that wonderful other metric stuff, right? Why do you think all basic science classes in US public education forces us to learn all those conversions from MM to CM to meters and beyond? Or was my boondocks of a school district just that far ahead?
I'm an American. Big deal if they use something other than Imperial measurements, scientists use metric (and the US should use metric for so many reasons, anyway). Go use Google, something of a query like "122KM to MPH" or "83M to FT"

If you're going to that point, I'll point out the Rocky Reach, Rock Island and Wells Dams. I'll just go ahead and add on Grand Coulee as well.

Ask Apple. As far as I remember, Apple holds the keys to Java on OS X, not Sun.
They could make it a little like the TOR opt-in for Exit Noding...?
I'm curious...what about simply not mounting all of your partitions at boot on a *NIX system?
I doubt DHS is going to break out a Knoppix live-CD or something to check that all the partitions you have are actually 'there'.
Or in that same vein, check Disk Management (diskmgmt.msc is your friend!) on an XP/Vista system.
I'd assume that it isn't ever actually passing in and out of the magnetosphere to cause charge differentials.
I believe it would have to be further out for that.

It used to have a plug-in installed by default that was supposed to allow ISPs some caches on their own network. Would have been an interesting idea, too.It got taken out because nobody was using it!
In addition to all that, I sandbox all my Google activities into Mozilla Prism 0.9 with several separate profiles.
Quite handy to simply double-click and open Gmail and iG in separate windows, without being logged in on Firefox.
I've got to say, I'm reading this in Fx3 beta 3 still and I've got no performance problems.
I can't imagine what my Fx2 install would do on this page, though.

Would have been nice if they'd given a little leeway for those server-farms in WA State though.
I live but a mile or two from the datacenter being build by Sabey that T-Mobile wishes to relocate ALL their datacenter activities (for the USA) to.
So much for the Westside giving a damn about the Eastside of the State.
