So what if you use fiber optics to provide the power. It's still electronic circuits in the tank, except now they are a whole lot more complicated and have power generation and regulation circuits, which make it a whole lot more dangerous... And if they're running fibre optics into the fuel tank, why bother with electronic sensors at all?
Sounds like I should move to the continent... For £40/mo I get a 2mbps down/288k up ADSL connection that throttles any non-http traffic, ISP POP3 that drops 100% of incoming mail with no option to switch their broken spamfilter off, flaky DNS servers, an IPv4 connection that rarely stays up a whole day and... nothing else. Worse still, this ISP owns the pipes in the local area so anything else is just more expensive more of the same.
Hard disks are approaching the density limit already. After that they're pretty much done for, since solid-state drives don't have disks' biggest limitations: 2 dimensions and pi(r^2).
Guess what? We use the same Tuesday cycle for Mac and Linux patches. So what does Apple's "when it's ready" release process buy us? More time for the script kiddies to reverse-engineer the patch and exploit the vulnerability. Do you sit there crying when Microsoft releases out-of-band patches for 0-day holes too? Because they do.

It'd be saner to just have a in the header for that sort of thing.
Even if you have something like that for HTML it doesn't fix tagsoup markup, which is a problem if you want to generate RSS feeds or something from the user input.
KDE is optional. If you don't like it, you can upgrade to the newest something else or leave it as is. Windows is not. If you don't like it, too bad, cause your company's already paid the full price for that 5 year contract.
It's a shame, the guy who did the original voice for Robotnik (AoStH series) died recently from what I read. He was probably the best one, even if that series wasn't.
I get 640 gigabytes of bandwidth a month. Sounds like a lot, but that's because it's what google's calculator says 2mbps*1mo is. The actual amount is usually less than that since my ISP's dns servers seem to go down every 49.7 days.
In my experience, giving automated spam an IP ban at the firewall level almost always gets rid of it. If it starts coming from other IPs after that there's probably an actual idiot sitting at the other end, in which case you can just do what you did there.
Two descriptions of Fascism by Benito Mussolini which apply to today's China perfectly. Don't forget the US. China being the worst offender does not equal a get out of jail free card.
I used to run Folding@Home on 3 of my PCs (P4, Athlon, Athlon XP). I don't have the numbers written down, but it was somewhere between 50-100W per CPU. The old Athlon was the worst for power use since its power use/temperature barely dropped at all when idling.
Maybe the US just has tighter regulations... but where I live people can just take old CRTs to the recycling place, leave them there with the rest of the junk, and they allow anyone else to take stuff out as long as they accept the common-sense risk disclaimers.

That doesn't help much considering we're only 1AU away from a much larger, noisier halogen bulb.
Your numbers are a bit off - nearly everything these days aligns pixels to power-of-two sizes so that 1600x1200 image is actually closer to 8MB.
Name one KDE 1.0 app that hasn't been ported to more modern libraries for which there exists no alternative.
That tag war already happened - W3C's XHTML 2 vs. WHATWG's HTML 5.
HTML 5 won.
true; // which is probably the effect they were going for.

I was hoping the same thing, like a story about them releasing video card drivers for it or something else positive...

When I saw the title I was wondering what the hell google and online aliases had to do with RealPlayer. :/

What's so hard about GPG? You don't need to remember any commands except your password, just install kgpg or something and click pretty buttons.

I turned off my mod ability when I realised all the mod points in the world won't make it a better place to live in.
It's not so much the hardware list, but the lengths he's going to defend the indefensible that catch my attention.
I wonder how much he's making from this astroturfing job.
And with the new firehose thing, it looks like they're not even doing the submission accepting part any more.
