If it was "some minor politcian" - one of those 3 selectmen or something - I might. Someone that gutsy to look the tabloids in the eye for 10 years would be immune to the typical brand of political pressure.
You may be an Asimov fan. He was liked for intelligent dialogue-based stories, and disliked by the crowd that wanted action-candy. Patrick Stewart could nail a perfect take on several Asimov roles.
Star Trek - the new film generation! These are the voyages of a complete reboot, a parallel universe, with the potential to go in a completely different direction, ignoring everything that has gone before!
I see this like a sudo type thing. Default to classical behavior, and on demand you can engage "boost mode". Thing is, it should be Per Task and then you can expect people to get lazy and boost things that shouldn't, like the finance calcs. But if that can all be worked out, it's interesting.
I read your post. It dealt with cost and subscribing. So I went the next step.
We like to joke we don't RTFA's because it's too much work, etc. If viewing a page requires "subscribing" every single time you click a link it's like how we hate registration-required articles.
Then comes the security issue of people subscribe-spoofing other people, plus spam, and more.
Then some twerp from the RIAA will find a way to sue someone for not subscribing fresh on each machine they own.
Microsoft pursued objectives to try to shore up security. Other than they ruined the GUI behavior, people *have* remarked that Vista is at least more secure than XP. To do this required some really ugly back end code changes.
Problem was, they *did* try to use XP, and somewhere in the process discoverd the world's biggest "Oh $hit". For reasons beyond me, they simply ran up against a brutal flaw that simply couldn't be bandaided any more.
So, they grabbed one of the server code bases, that had been built a bit more intelligently, and restarted from that. Check Paul Thurrott's pages. I know, he's a paid MS promoter, but he gets permission to post key stories which explain queries like yours, which was essentially what everyone was wondering.
Hm. Is the fact that it's headed by a *white South African* entrepreneur related at all? Maybe that's Mark Shuttleworth's unique perspective at work - he has a country legacy of apartheid we don't have to deal with, so I think there's a background there somewhere.
That's awesome! I want to see a picture of that by one of y'all with talented art skills.
The only example I can think of is that episode of Voyager with that species that forced the Borg into a truce because it was so brutally lethal it was smashing them. (Now I have to go find it and watch it again.)
This is sounding seriously like Star Wars. Poor Microsoft, they had such talent, and more midichlorians than anyone else, but alas they are falling to the next generation's rising star.
That would be funny, because right now there is no reason not to push the quality through the roof. But because I dabble with dinosaur mp3 players as a hobby, you can fit a lot more music at 80kbs-rate (spelling off) in 256 megs than 192 kbs-rate.
That might interact with the world of bandwidth caps on the isp side too.
You mean the pillaging of artists currently practiced by the labels? iTunes has profoundly revolutionized the music world, and is mostly fair to consumers.
What about a label that revolutionizes management and actually works unobtrusively for the artists??
NewBand: "Why should we sign with you and get 3 cents on the dollar before "expenses" when iMusic gives us 62 cents per buck *after* legit expenses?"
What if one of the 4 slots is deliberately miscoded? Do I feel some beautiful encryption coming on?
You read the quad as a holistic unit. If you read it clockwise it comes out one way and if you read it counterclockwise it comes out another, with the same hard data stored.
It's Kurt Godel's Next Generation Dream.
Remember the old trick of chaining two registers in the 6502 days? If you chain two of these Qritters together, can we get a Klein twist?
Sorry, I'm feeling there's like a terabyte of storage AND processing instructions buried in here.

Nice checklist. I missed some of those stories.

Good replies. And you did more work than I did.
I couldn't figure out where the name came from. I just stumbled on Mark's bio and took a guess.

Just think - if this model catches on, you'll be paying $2000/month or more to your ISP for all the "free, affiliated content" you get.
Fixed that for you, Time+10 years.
It's all the post below says and worse.
Are you suggesting that it's okay to require every single web site to negotiate every single ISP "or else they don't get carried?"
What about the legal implications of trying to get workarounds?
This just explodes in chaos.

(Paraphrased from George Carlin)
When did that word mean "reducing by 10%" to "reducing *down to* 10%"?

How does Dan Quayle fit in?
+5 Informative on why lowly techs leave the actual tech and become PHB's.
"I don' wanna hear the incomprehensible crap. I'll be in my 2 hour marketing meeting wondering if we can strike deals with Frank Baum's estate."
"We declare we shall download whatever we like, and upon our whims, buy a CD or some iTunes tracks now and then - if we feel like it".
Look up the history of Moxie. (Wikipedia doesn't go into enough detail). They tried killing marketing and killed sales.
They don't do that either. They get IT to do that.
They're good at "extending functionality" of firefox though.
This?
