Youtube Autoplay was my reason.

a simple window.location.href = window.location.href.replace(/&playnext=1/, "&playnext=0"); has solved all my problems

Because you can't use a monopoly in one area (OS) to gain a monopoly in another area (browers).

Giving IE with every version of Windows breaks that law, because most people won't install another browser. The browser ballot screen is a solution that the European Parliament (?) and Microsoft both agreed to.

prices go down?

It would be beneficial for many people to become cab drivers. This would decrease their income (less money per ride and less rides per driver) and you'll end up with many people barely making enough to survive on.

Everybody knows Anonymous Coward is a huge dick.

Oh so you're the lunatic that acts first thinks later - the next time you swerve watch out for the kid on a bike you did not see the first time you looked.

This would provide a speed boost to machines that already have enough memory (and most do). Part of your operating system would be copied to the SSD (persistent storage!). A system boot would be much faster because the data can be accessed from the SSD and doesn't have to be read from the HDD.
Having more memory, which only solves capacity problems, wouldn't be helpful in this case.

Perhaps there is another factor that causes cancer that has decreased in the last 30 years.
Asbestos use has been declining for half a century (and has been banned in most countries in the last 20 years). This could have easily hidden the cancer growth from cell phones.
(Note that Asbestos causes lung and kidney cancer but no brain cancer. This was just used as an example)

The computer AI in Starcraft actually has knowledge of your position on the map (that's why it never has to scout you before he attacks). It's reasonable to assume that the AI competion would include these things as well.

Making up new tactics on the fly is not as important as it seems. What is important is recognising your opponent's strategy and responding to it (something that can easily be programmed). Of course this would only work against other AI; a good Korean player can certainly come up with a strategy that the AI cannot deal with.

If the guy was dishonest enough to backdate the document, he may very well backdate the metadata too.

You could only order 1 at a time (or send a special request). After it got delivered, you could try to order another one. Any subsequent orders or special requests always got denied for me though. I always needed 2 CDs for me, and some more for my friends, but I haven't been able to hand them out for a few years.

In Belgium, the civil engineering degree isn't what you think it is. It's more a general engineering degree with everyone choosing a specific major (chemical engineering, computer science, applied physics, elektro-mechanical engineering and "bouwkunde": the actual civil engineer...) His degree would be the equivalent of "Master of Science in Engineering: Telecommunications"

This is one of the problems that can be solved with Cloud Computing. You would be able to set up an extra server in a matter of minutes. The cost would be little more than a price for the available processing power and storage usage.

Storing power is not as easy as it looks. If you have a good idea let us know. Huge batteries are expensive and lose their charge over time. You could use the power to pump water higher and then use that potential energy later. There are so many convertions of energy that make it not effective enough.

It's about not having to operate your own datacenter anymore. (not having to pay for electricity, cooling, multiple system admins, and keeping up with your server requirements...) You get an account with a business who has a big cloud. You tell them what kind of equipment you want to use (i.e. via an internet application) and it gets set up for you automatically (within minutes instead of days/weeks/months. Then you just pay for the storage you are using and the processor clock cycles that are used. You pay less, and benefit is that you can easily add more servers (in case you website gets slashdotted)

Teleportation at the speed of light would take 3.3 ns (3.3e-9 seconds) to cover a distance of 1m. This is certainly measurable. However no time difference has been measured in this experiment because the teleportation is instantaneous.
