Just like Windows XP is still the most popular version of Windows
I think you just hit the nail on the head. The majority of people don't keep their computers up-to-date, so they'll have IE6 until they upgrade past XP. Similarly, most businesses will keep running IE6 for compatibility reasons, but when they upgrade to Vista/7 they'll be forced to use a newer version. It's likely that the market share of each directly influences the other.
Which begs the question of whether or not it should be illegal to implement technological measures to prevent others from doing so, or to intentionally remove access/compatibility that once existed.
I've tried it, but it just didn't feel as responsive as uTorrent, although I did like the daemon/client design. uTorrent seemed to have faster transfer speeds as well.
Perhaps we'll see the rise of indie movies then? Between torrents lowering distribution costs and the cost of equipment falling, it seems to me that indie film makers have an opening. Here's an interesting example (take a look at the budget and gross revenue.
The pollution produced in the manufacturing of a solar panel is a one time cost. The pollution involved in producing & supplying a fossil fuel is an ongoing cost. All you have to do is use the solar panel for more than, say, a year, and you've already broken even in terms of pollution. Obviously this is an oversimplification (not all forms of pollution are equal), but you get the idea.
That's slowly changing. I read an article yesterday that asserted that the percentage of people (here in Victoria, Australia) in support of nuclear power had reached 49%. Admittedly still not a majority, but it's growing. Apparently most of the opposition comes from people who lived through the cold war, Chenobyl, etc.
Because he doesn't want to use the printer, he has to. Think about the last time you used a printer. Invariably it meant leaving the basement for some reason.
It only works as long as everyone has 'unlimited bandwidth'
It would, you've just moved it from the mobile phone lines to the residential landlines. Admittedly landlines do have more bandwidth, but you're kidding yourself if you think that the infrastructure in place is even remotely capable of that, or that the telcoms/ISPs/cablecos are willing to spring for it.

That fix is kind of a pain because you have to use OS X. I've found a much more logical fix here

If the placebo effect is getting more effective, does that it mean that we're getting more gullible? Or that our bodies are evolving to maximise it?
If these are undocumented APIs, then you can bet that they'll be removed or otherwise disabled in the first service pack.
It's not an undocumented feature: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd815243(VS.85).aspx
Relativistic effects.
Knowingly and willfully taking more bandwidth than you've paid for is fraud and should be treated as such. Everything else is bullshit.
But what about if you were never a customer to begin with? Is there such a thing (in law) as theft of service?

Yeah, but *whose* present?

OK, this is starting to get ridiculous...

What about fair use rights? I know that there are exceptions for backups and format shifting, wouldn't this be covered by those?
Just tried - that link is dead
Sure you can. Why wouldn't you be able to drink a Properly Distilled Fluid?
Wooh! Nerd fight!
Which is why a lot of us are excited to see something like the N900/Maemo coming out, since it's basically a phone targeted at geeks.
I sincerely hope that you do mean everywhere, not just the Northern Hemisphere. I haven't been able to find any info on when it's coming to Australia.

Since you seem to be in the know, I just have to ask: any word on when it'll be released in Australia?

We don't need a virus or trojans or...
There, fixed that for you.

If you name it Hyperdrive now, what will you name a FTL drive? Full-speed Hyperdrive? Hi-Speed?
I don't know, maybe a FTL drive? kind of like the ring of 'c-speed drive', or even just 'c drive'...
Unless you have to hack it in order to get the firmware to work...
