Oh, you mean it's not a big knife switch mounted near a huge Van de Graaf generator throwing off lightning bolts for theatrical effect? Or maybe just a pushbutton switch on a Cisco router somewhere in San Francisco, that magically shuts the whole thing down? That takes all the fun out of it.
Well, based on GPs definition, you would call Winamp an "app". And by your extension, you would call Symantec Norton AntiVirus a "uti". The set of programs that are utis would be much smaller than the set of apps.
But those are specific brand names being applied to other versions of a particular product, but still it's the same product/thing. This "app" thing is different in that people are conflating websites with actual programs running on the device, two totally different things.
Based on the numbers here: http://www.amputee-coalition.org/fact_sheets/amp_stats_cause.html
I'd estimate that the figure would be *much* closer to 4 million than to 8 million.
In fact, you could have said "between 4 million and 4,020,100". (4 million * 200/199)
OK, but I still don't understand why it would solve the problem even if it were possible. If you turn it off, you lose that SATA port. If it fails, you lose that SATA port. What's the difference? The fact that you know what the problem is in the former case, but not in the latter, so you can choose a different port?
Interesting point, but I suspect it refers to a bridge on the Sandy River, a river near Portland, OR, which is (fairly) near Intel's R&D fabs. They have a habit of naming stuff after rivers (and other places, often small towns), e.g. Nehalem, Tualatin, Clackamas, Willamette.
I didn't understand what the article said about just turning off the voltage to the transistor at issue to fix the problem. How is letting the transistor fail different from disabling it by turning off the voltage to it?

Music *composed* by an orchestra would indeed be an innovation. Heretofore, almost all music is composed by individuals or small groups (e.g. two or three people working together, usually one on the tune one on lyrics). Getting 80 to 100 people to work together to create a significant piece of music would be very interesting IMHO. It'd be tough though, since the violins would never stop playing, the brass and woodwinds would all try to give themselves some good solos, most would try to keep the percussion from being too noisy, etc.
OK, I had to find out, so I found a clip from 1995 on YouTube (that's the latest a quick search turned up) and the chime sound occurs at 2:02 in, and it's definitely C Eflat (not F!) Bflat G, so we were both wrong, but in the ballpark!
Assuming it hasn't changed since 1995...
Maybe because the Gates foundation is not really trying to cure polio, but rather to eradicate it, so that cures are not necessary, as was done with smallpox.

Justin Bieber, naturally.

Of course, having a "wallpaper" available as an "app" in the Android Market is doing exactly the same thing.

OT: I've noticed a lot of people using this word "whinging" lately. Is it an intentional misspelling of "whining"? Why is it so popular?
At Silicon Alley Insider, they linked to video clips of Shum and Matt Cutts of Google slamming each other at a conference.

He has "netfo dna tsom"?
Yeah, but you're telling the CYBER Foundation to stop putting "cyber" on everything. Do you really think they're gonna listen?
That's exactly my point: it's good and it's bad.

So it's a wash.
You could still be sick enough to not attend class even if by robot proxy.

It better be one of those Monster (TM) Ethernet cables, so it's low sodium and doesn't give you hypertension!
This is one of the most compelling comments on Slashdot about the century made thus far this decade! (this decade started last month btw)

What's wrong with Archie?
If that were the ONLY thing they were doing, yes.
Well, it's not his fault he was confused.
