"How different is it than MSFT placing its products (Internet Explorer) in a premium marketing position (embedded in the OS)?" I's say the differences are in the price (MS OS + Office is hugely expensive, Google is free), and monopoly position (MS has an almost absolute monopoly, while Google is just big and has real alternatives).
Perhaps a somewhat fitting real-world comparison for this lunacy would have been asking for someone's VCR tapes to prove that a certain television program had been looked, where ofcourse no recording had been made on the program with that VCR.
Apart from that, youi're right about the only way to date filenames etcetera: YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss (or perhaps YYYYMMDD hh:mm:ss, which uses the ISO standard)
Actually, yyyy-mm-dd is the/relaxed/ ISO format. The official ISO format is yyyymmdd.
The huge benefit of both formats over any other is of course the ease when sorting files that have dates in their names.
And on a sidenote, another improvement using yyyy insted of yy is that it prevents another period of months of useless extra work when the next millennium turn arrives;-)

This has nothing to do with using beta products in production or not. This has to do with the failure of big organizations to recognize that/any/ update applied to all computers within the organization should/always/ be tested, however short. I have fought hard with a previous client, as in the past one of the datfiles updates for McAfee managed to render most PC's useles becuase of a bug in the engine that was triggered by this particular datfile. Really, in a big organization, any update going to all PC's must always be tested.
One of the points, besides accuracy, is independence. Such a system is important for military uses. As the U.S. are getting more idiotic with the day, and can turn off GPS when they want, Europe has decided this is a thing worth having for yourself. And I wholeheartedly agree.
To most of us, SCO has been purely laughable for a long time already. But as long as it can stay in the news, it will keep damaging Linux's reputation; other pepole keep hearing the general news of "Linux being under attack". The big question, and what we should hope for is: when will SCO's whining/ever/ stop?
If you behave well, i.e. no sensitive information on your workstation (it shouldn't be there), and lock or turn off your workstation, the danger is a large as having any active network port accesible.

This is old news. At work I regularly talk to salespeople from Eizo, Philips and Compaq. They all saw LCD revenues overtake CRT revenues somewhere halfway last year. Also, even a considerable number of graphics people is already buying or considering large LCD's. Not in the least because LCD companies are doing everything to produce screens that even these demanding people will accept.
Could we all please stop quoting NYT articles? They cannot be read without submitting to the stupidity of "subscription". It's like citing news from a newspaper people are not subscribed to. There's plenty of other, and non-nagging, information sources available, why not use them?
The banks are doing wrong something else; they are "developing" for certain browsers, while they/should/ be designing with accepted web standards. Then there would be less problems. Web designers and browser developers can then both spend more time on adding functionality, because they only have to support 1 peer instead of n. My bank, the Dutch ABNAMRO, states somewhere that they only support IE. But Mozilla works, although a tad ugly.
On an early version of Debian (something like 0.93) I have had several instances of something like: "Ayiieeeee, this can't happen!!!", just before Debian would die. It turned out the motherboard was faulty.
Can somebody, please,/finally/ explain to me what AOL is, before it is gone? I've seen an enormous number of posts on this "AOL" thing over time on Slashdot, but I still have no clue as to what it is. Is it perhaps one of those America-only things? It is not only Americans whoe read and post on Slashdot, you know...
"... Under pressure from their citizens, governments around the world are increasingly abandoning the hands-off attitude they initially had toward the Internet..." I think this is the scary part, because it is not true; I have never seen or heard a person ask for this kind of action. As far as I can tell, governements are doing this on their own account.

Well spoken. Not everybody (in fact, almost nobody) lives in dickhead DMCA coprrupted USA.

Really, anybody.

That is because hardly anybody uses those; bloat comes with popularity.
