"I guess you have to partially fault whoever gives instructions to the jurors, as well."

No, since (god I hate to mention it) TFA states that each juror was told 'no research' every single day. You can blame lack of comprehension of instruction as a fault, or not seeing Wikipedia as research. ( An example of true irony )

I was meta-modding (posting instead) and your comment caught me off-guard, you're completely right about this being a non-story but i just disagreed with the implied assumptions.

what really?

you think nature is going to get lifted down on a crane and conveniently save the world for us in a lazy script-writer kind of way?

do you have a newsletter subscription on offer by any chance? :D

I have first hand experience. I've used Windows 7 RTM, and office 2010 technical preview I can honestly say that this advice is nothing more than a joke. In fact the 'type mismatch' errors that Autodesk Inventor throws up when syncing to Excel, make me lean more towards hateful feelings. Win7 / office 2010 are good and expensive, but i don't see how they are justifiably better than XP / office 2003/7. The love inducing factor comes from Michael Dell rubbing his grubby mitts together.

"For instance, a significant overnight spike in traffic being sent from a particular Internet Protocol address could signal that a computer is infected with a virus, taking control of the system and using it to send spam as part of a botnet." .. it could mean that the aforementioned significant overnight spike is when my p2p software is allowed to run. only seeding and leeching legal linux distros of course. sorry, was hard to type that with straight face.

Even at £100 looks like a waste of money. 128 ram and 2 gig?? For the same price you could pick up a old school eeepc. 7", 512, 8 gig. Mine runs Jaunty + XP, and can run Autocad 2009 (it's fine once its been loaded into RAM) runs great with 2 gig ram upgade. About the earlier ALT+dragging window advice, that saved me a few times. Worth mentioning there is a compiz fusion setting that overrides it, constrain X/Y axis or something. If Alt-dragging won't let you drag past the top of the screen it might be worth checking this setting. Anyhoo, lee :D

I downloaded the lastest google earth to see what all the fuss is about. In preferences / advanced options you can select no auto-update, i will check myself. whats the problem tech savvy people? sub
