Yeah, and apparently it's led by someone that understands that the way to a continued successful growth is to be nice to your employees, to treat your customers with respect, and well, generally Do No Evil. Everyone understands that they want to make money. It's no charity. What makes them different from virtually every other major IT company out there is that people don't hate them, which is why, whenever there's talk about Google, the Do No Evil mantra comes up.
Dunno about that, I can run 6 instances of the latest Ubuntu Server with a bit of shoe-horning on my 512MB P3, and if I just wanted to run 2-3, it'd even be comfortable.
Because the global temperature average is rising. A lot. Due to the changing weather patterns this brings a long, some areas previously heated by warm ocean currents might see an actual decrease in local temperature. Other areas (like the poles), might see a +10 kelvin increase.
The BBC don't want to restrict it - the content owners do. They tried the same thing with the digital satellite transfer, but then, the BBC actually followed their charter.
According to Wikipedia, this is what the current BBC trust says:
The BBC Trust works on behalf of licence fee payers: it ensures the BBC provides high quality output and good value for all UK citizens and it protects the independence of the BBC. Note the part that says on behalf of licence fee payers. Not on behalf of content providers. Note also the part about protects the independence of the BBC.
I don't know what to say. I got so upset by this statement that I was going to write a long reply about how this clearly shows how GWB & co can get away with raping nation after nation, but now I'm just speechless. I'm not even sure it's a joke or not.
It's people like you that will make sure that your grandchildren will inherit a ruined desert, but I doubt you care.
When people are so poor they can not even afford to buy food (which you indicated in your post), in the greatest free nation in the world, it's not the price of gasoline that's the problem. Just for your information, here is a short list I just found on Google: http://money.cnn.com/pf/features/lists/global_gasp rices/price.html
They have a lot of cause to purchase laws all over the world, since a copy made in EU is as much "damage" to them as a copy made in the US. The raid on The Pirate Bay would not have happened unless MPAA would have pushed, which is well documented and something that MPAA even boasts about.
Here is their problem. Their business idea relies on the rest of the world to do exactly as they are being told.
Don't worry! Your Free Market(tm) will take care of this! You can always chose not to have internet, or lay your own fiber! Completely realistic options. It's not my fault you can't afford that. You should have started an ISP just like everyone else!
Well, at least the printer industry is losing one customer. I've been kinda wanting one of those photo-printers for some time, but I know that they are only going to rip me off. Are there any honest printer manufacturers out there, that sells the printers for a reasonable price, and then sells the cartridges for what they actually cost to produce (plus of course, a reasonable profit margin)?
Ok, I can also play the idiot. Since we need to keep owning guns legal, we should let everyone carry armour-piercing rounds. Let every one keep as many grenades and tanks as they wish. Why should only the government be allowed to have nuclear weapons? What about biological weapons?
What the hell is it that you don't understand? Is your right to kill someone more important than my right to stay alive?
The point is that when there's no guns for civil use in circulation, it gets really difficult to get hold of a gun, even for criminals. If you happen to even see a gun, it will get a lot of attention, and the police will work real hard to get you, knowing that you're most likely a hardened criminal already.
confusing privacy laws contributed to the Virgina Tech shootings
No. Free circulation of guns contributed to the Virgina Tech shootings. These kind of things just don't happen in countries that have sane gun laws, privacy laws or not.
Please, no matter how interesting some piece of news is, unless it's posted on a site that everyone can access, don't link to it. It just annoys the hell out of most people, and gives the website in question undeserved registrations. If they don't want to show the information to everyone equally, I'm not interested.
Perhaps the NAND trick is a great idea for laptops that suspend/resume a lot
Yes. Laptops sell more than desktops these days. Apparently it also does a lot for the time it takes to boot.
just buy the ram. It's probably cheaper
Go and compare prices of 2GB DDR2 and a 2GB Compact Flash, you'll notice there's quite a big difference.
It's not locked down behind the iron curtains of Intel
Intel, which is one of the few hardware companies that actively work for open drivers, when the rest are trying as hard as they can to lock everything up.
and most importantly, it's already there
Yesterday I was browsing for a new laptop (well, I only bother with thinkpads), and guess what? Turbo Memory.
All he had to do was comply with the rules that the UN set.
And by that he completely violated the rules that the UN set. What's your point? Should the rest of the world now invade the US and execute Bush because he doesn't comply with the rules that the UN set?

KVM needs hardware support for virtualization. Xen is nice for us old folks with old computers.
How many German physicists does it take to change a broken speed of light? Answers below:

But this could probably do it dynamic, in realtime, which might be nice. Dunno, didn't RTFA of course.

I bet you have also considered this, but using bittorrent here could also be useful. (At least if you pay for the bandwidth)

Don't worry, they can call RIAA and ask them to buy some more EU laws. RIAA get the bulk/wholesale price.
Yes there is; when software is released, the source should be available. Sounds like it's much overdue.
Cool, do you have any sources for this?

Isn't the problem that they refuse to print more, when it's "out of ink"? Due to some made-up excuse?

Your assumptions are wrong - the paper specifically talks about SRAM and DRAM.
