I can see it now: people will just insert stubs (or copy articles from other sources) for subjects that are likely to be popular search terms, for the sole purpose of reaping the ad revenues.
I guess Google will have an easy way in finding articles copied from other sources. For what I've heard, they have a pretty big database of all the documents published on the net in various formats;)
Vista Business and Vista Ultimate licenses allow a cost-free downgrade to Windows XP. Other vendors are shipping PCs with XP preloaded and free upgrade to Vista (Maxdata/Belinea for example).
That is actually a Windows Vista Business license for wich the vendor pre-applied the *DOWNgrade* option. I'm pretty sure that those machine are counted in the Windows Vista market share.

Unless we're talking about the very first release of the original BitTorrent client, of course;-)
More importantly, what we find interesting today, might be totally worthless to people in the future, while stuff we consider useless and boring could be immensely valuable.
I don't understand why an open voting system wouldn't work. (And yes I know the major hurdle would be beating the peoples in power to transition to one)

Consequently, the effective area of the capacitor is not much larger than the area of the flat substrate electode. What's the advantage of the "fur"? I would understand if [+] and [-] charged nanotubes were alternating inside the fur, but it's clearly not the case judging from the picture.
Nay! The entire surface of the "fur" would be represent the "A" the C=A/d fomula to calculate capacity
I used to work in a electro-chemical plant that did this very thing some 15 years ago, but without nanotubes. We used an electrolytc process to "carve" holes in an aluminium foil, then another process to "form" an oxide layer upon it. This oxide layer would act as the "insulant" of the capacitor.
Tin foil treated in this way can have an active surface up to .
More info here: In its more technologically advanced products, BECROMAL creates inside 100 micron thick aluminium foil, millions of micro tunnels per every single cm2, each having a diameter of 1 micron and a length of 30-40 microns.
As a side note, tin foil hats made with carved aluminium could be much more effective in protecting you from evil rays from outer space:)

Perhaps, it's the other way around: we broke Skype encryption, but publicly announce otherwise, so you'll keep on using it with misplaced trust.

This is dead wrong. The main competitor of Windows Vista is Windows XP, at least in the corporate business

I plan on upgrading all of my tracks as soon as they are available.
I'm wondering if I will be able to upgrade my album purchases to DRM-free-256Kbits for free, since the price didn't change for full-albums?
And distribution, too. Packaged boxes need to be moved across continents.
From summary:
The world's largest *tropical* *glacier * was a *hot topic*
Hot topic indeed.

I just added an information on the subject, since many commenters appeared to ingore it.
It _has_ been done already, and dismissed. Check out this story about an ideantical Amazon's A9 Maps feature.

Don't want to play smart-ass, but technically there are 6 versions of Windows XP:
Oddly enough, Microsoft website lists only five.
PS: Speaking of Vista versions, let's not forget Windows Vista N versions, or XP European Community Edition, now without Windows Media Player.

Actually, WiBro was demonstrated during last winter olympic games in Turin.
The process used to carve the foil is electrochemical, but such carved aluminium foils are actually used in making electrolytical capacitors.
