They have a history of easily folding to law enforcement, which makes me uneasy about hosting corporate stuff online.
Anything law enforcement can force Google to give them, they can force you to give them. The only consolation you get from keeping the data yourself is the ability to not comply with court orders.
It's not the users. Linux programmers know better than to run the user as root by default.
An OS that is insecure by default is insecure period. End users won't change the settings.
Why would you ban it if it turns on paedophiles? The Sears catalogue does too, but nobody is suggesting we ban that.
It's a cartoon. No Victim. No Crime. Just creepy.
Just imagine what we'd pay for energy is coal/oil companies had to actually pay for mineral rights instead of paying pennies on the dollar to the government.
XP is nice, and it's faster than Vista, but I'd hate to be stuck with the security holes. Not that Vista/Windows 7 (same OS, different skin) is much better.

You don't have to trust Google with your docs, there is a plugin to export/import them to/from OpenOffice. As with any other data, keep backups.
Last time I installed a Broadcom driver in Ubuntu, the OS downloaded the driver and did the ndiswrapping for me.
The value of a great idea is in its execution.
I thought it was in the license fees.
But there is a reason those holes won't be patched: Microsoft is dropping support for XP. There will be no SP4.

Creator or not, some truths are self evident.
Kalashnikov, Wolf, and SS-N-22 rockets. All courteously provided by their neighbor to the north.
Totalitarianism is a component of fascism. Hitler AND Mussolini were both totalitarian AND fascist.
The Bill of Rights doesn't grant you a single right. Every enumerated right existed prior to it's ratification.

So it's faster than keyboard/mouse, or do you have a different definition of useful (i.e. are you parapalegic)?
Long before? Try 6 months. That's not long enough to copy from scratch.
Just imagine what we'd pay for energy is coal/oil companies had to actually pay for mineral rights instead of paying pennies on the dollar to the government.
How can Sun control an open source project?
Well, they SO own the copyright to the code. That helps.
The difference is that now, CPU time is plentiful and dirt cheap. You're not paying a premium for a scare resource.
Carbon monoxide? Most of the people on this planet cook with wood, which produces carbon monoxide.
You're suggesting he start a company and bid on no-bid contracts?
I think you mean create, not recreate. That article is from a Florida satire paper called South To The Future.
Gnome users. Linux users who use KDE already have this and had it before OSX did.
Why didn't you just have them log off? Besides, it's nothing that can't be fixed by WOL.
UAC? No, that's sudo, and it was around for over two decades before the first line of code was written for Vista.
That's not Ubuntu's job, it's Gnome's. Try KDE if you want more configuration tools.
XP is nice, and it's faster than Vista, but I'd hate to be stuck with the security holes. Not that Vista/Windows 7 (same OS, different skin) is much better.
Windows seems to be doing well with it's diluted market.
