Well, there is reason to think the flu vaccine does nothing.
You are far less likely to die of the flu if you get it, but it seems equally effective at preventing accidental death, and all cause mortality, which makes it seem that it is compliance effect (that people who are good about taking what the doc gave them live longer, even if it is a placebo).
Do some reading in the Paleo and low carb communities, there is no data that exercise leads to weight loss (it is good for health reasons, etc, but it will not make you thin). Unless you really want the goal (winning aerobic fitness based events, ie tour de france or just a marathon), high output aerobics seems to be harmful (check out Mark's Daily Apple, he made his living in that world for two decades).
Low output aerobics, occasional max effort work, seems to be what people are made for. The Army has moved from long runs to sprints, a sprinter can do the runs, and you spend less time and fewer injuries than the runner training.

Well, I'm disappointed, but it may well make sense if you just have one gear, and thus a much cheaper, lighter gearbox etc. No lower gears, no revers, a larger electric motor than the generator, so you can hit batteries for acceleration, but not drag a big generator around that you almost never need.
Very, very true, I'm just saying that trying to sell such a thing is very much of an uphill push, too many users cannot contribute, and your savings are not all that great, I bet you need to be serving 1000TB+ a month for it to have any chance of making business sense.
That being said, I do think it makes sense, and ought to be used more, for instance, add some locality features, it would help everyone at the end of small pipes (Australia, NZ, etc), cut down bandwidth usage, boost performance on cable, etc.
Well, we do, sort of, it's called a CDN, like Akamai.
A start up I know of started out using peer to peer, but it was too much grief to get people to download a plug in, and then get it to set up port forwarding through their firewall, and at the price of CDNs these days, you are just not saving enough money for it to be worth while.
Now, when we get IPv6, and HTML5, perhaps it will be a different game (no NAT in IPv6, no need).
In the case of a game, you already have downloaded stuff, and can convince a fair chunk of your users to set it up.
Twitter uses it to push patches to their servers in 12 seconds instead of 10 min.
So it is part of the future.

NeXTstep used a variety of cap options, NextSTEP......ah, the late 1980s-early 1990s!
And the post office has sued companies and won (read it in the Wall Street Journal years ago, no cite handy), you may only use non USPS carriers for letter that require an immediate response, otherwise, you are violating their monopoly.
Sad but true.
Kiss your wind tunnel good bye.
Don't forget bind, went from 4.9 to 9 in the mid-late 1990s.
Lisp is now supported language at google. ITA is one of the largest Lisp shops in the country.
