Yes, that's why it's called RAID 0; it isn't true RAID, but depends on similar logic. I don't know why you brought it up since the GP didn't mention it.
Notebooks that have other legacy ports are only annoying because I know they wasted real estate where I'd rather have more USB ports or just a smaller/cheaper computer. VGA on the other hand is actually a deficit. You generally only get one monitor output, and if your only output is VGA your stuck in the analog world. Many high quality displays show a marked degradation in text rendering and color, many cheap LCDs suck at syncing with VGA sources and many newer televisions don't have VGA (or compatible RGBHV) input at all.
If you get DVI or DisplayPort, you can convert to just about anything else you need, while having a lossless option for most displays.
No one is asking you to replace old equipment, but you might need to buy an adapter.

AutoFill passwords works fine for me, perhaps you forgot to turn it on (Settings -> Safari -> AutoFill). Do bear in mind, many sites manipulate login forms to prevent saved passwords from working.
I really don't see how the OP was missing the topic at hand. You're original claim was that OSS CMSs don't handle mobile well, but then failed to mention Drupal.
Drupal core and almost all contrib modules output simple, valid XHTML Strict by default. You can override themes for every bit of Drupal and it's modules within your own theme. Customizing a simplified theme for mobile browsers is trivial and far easier than your suggestion, writing you OWN CMS!
When you do that, you're playing right into what this article is talking about, partitioning the web between functional desktop sites and mobile sites that provide little more than a presence.
Consumer IPv6 routers should go ahead and block all unsolicited connections by default, just like modern IPv4 routers. It's not a complex problem or one the user should even need to think about.
I've been running dual stack on test servers just because and it seems to work fine. I've tested Windows Server 2008 and Vista clients with IPv6 and it works fine. I even get IPv6 connections to some internet servers like Mozilla.
Admittedly, I'm not an expert, but I'm looking forward to the end of NAT on every router.
I regularly end up helping people who've bought a new PC which comes infested with the Norton malware. If you don't rip it out before the free trial ends it is virtually impossible to get rid of it. And, of course, if you wait until the trial expires, you've probably caught some nasty - their package is, to put it bluntly, a bloated and useless piece of shit.
I've had my issues with Symantec AV products totally borking the TCP/IP stack or just making the computer unbearably slow, but this is a little beyond anything I've ever heard. Regardless, you might put this in your digital toolbox.

What really, really pissed me off was Vista. XP's security control centre quite happily recognised Avira, but Vista "conveniently" failed to recognise it. This means that unless you're reasonably technically savvy you will get constant nagging that you have no antivirus product. I wonder if that had anything to do with their plans to release this new product.
That's awfully paranoid. Maybe you should've tried installing the latest version.Old versions of Symantec Antivirus have had issues with Security Center as well and required patching. Software changes, life goes on.
Haha, yes, because I subscribe to the MAPS program I'm "involved" with Microsoft. I would be stupid not to given the clients I support. Maybe you could read up about it.
Actually, in a way I feel honored to be accused of being a MS shill. Imagine the money I get; backhanded deals from ol' Bill himself.
I have plenty of issues with MS, but nerds bent out of shape over Office's user interface make me scratch my head. You know vi, Gimp, Blender and lots of other OSS apps have non-standard UIs, but they are still great applications.
I won't argue with you that removing the menus rather then hiding them was a bit ham fisted. They probably assumed seasoned users would never learn the ribbon with the menus available, but I think they don't give people enough credit.
I'm not going to debate with you, but I will admit I'm technically an MS partner (all that means is I take a test, pay $300 a year and get a metric ton of not-for-resale software). That said, I've never pushed this stuff and I don't resell so I have no profit motive. If these people liked OO.o, they would get OO.o
None of the companies I work for are Microsoft partners. A significant portion of the people I deployed to are CPAs and they spend ungodly amounts of time in front of two huge monitors filled with Excel. These people were most vocal about getting 2007.
I'm really surprised that the Slashdot crowd has so much trouble with the ribbon. I'm an IT consultant and across all the people I've deployed Office 2007 to, not one has had more then a handful of questions and zero complaints (at least with regard to the ribbon). Many people actively sought a budget to get 2007 after seeing someone else use it, I never pushed it on anyone.
On top of that, people are using styles instead of hand formatting everything, creating locked forms and templates (and editing them later without calling me for help) and using all sorts of feature, sometimes asking me about features I had never used. I've been using it so long, it's far more jarring to try to go back then the transition ever was. Plus auto-hiding the ribbon works great on notebooks / netbooks.
Of course, I don't see how it will work in a web browser, but I guess we will see.
A mouse is not a smarter way to play, it's different. You're assuming that the better control is the one that determines who is the best mouse twitcher.
I totally disagree, firing a gun is completely disimilar from either control scheme. To me the better control scheme is the one that gets out of the way and lets you enjoy the game. The answer to that differs for everyone.
For me, a mouse is a tiresome device, which I get no joy out of flinging around uncomfortably in my office chair. I don't/won't have a mouse in my living room and that's where I play games.
Convenient, your target changes and you now hate all FPSs. You wanted to rag on Halo when it's been movement with hand and aim with the other since the dawn of time, err WASD + Mouse.
I didn't say specialized surgeon, just a surgeon. I'm sorry, surgery is dangerous enough as it is. I wouldn't subject myself to what you are describing.
The idea that net neutrality should be cast aside because of this hair brained scheme is ridiculous. The internet should not be used for life and death communication. Not everything needs to connect to the web - even as a small company operating in medium sized towns, I can go out and buy dedicated private networks between my offices - that's what should be used in this situation.
Guns that are big enough to shoot the blimp down would probably be better off aimed at the base this thing is tethered to. Large enemy ground weapons shouldn't be moving that close to your base. Missiles should be detected by the blimp and engaged with defensive weapons, guns should be kept far enough away with basic security.
Umm, no, probably not. There at least need to be a surgeon who can sew you back up and a anesthesiologist available. Otherwise chances are good that people will DIE because of the remote surgery and not their injuries.
Wrong. This was only true for short lived XP and 2003 x64 variants, which were released later than the original versions and didn't have identical features/codebase. Vista, 7, Server 2008 and presumably future OS keys work on 32 bit and 64 bit versions of their software.

RAID 0 does not offer "block redundancy".
Yes, that's why it's called RAID 0; it isn't true RAID, but depends on similar logic. I don't know why you brought it up since the GP didn't mention it.
This might be interesting if you had some proof.
Otherwise I'm inclined to believe you confused an auto-complete from your own history with a suggested term.

No, that's not how it will work. It will work just like IPv4 blocks you get today, they just cost too much for the home user.
You'll have a router that talks to an upstream router just like they do now (and for a long time, it will also be doing IPv4/NAT).
Your subnet will only be able to address your router, and your router should block all unsolicited connections by default, just like they do now.
Consumer IPv6 routers should go ahead and block all unsolicited connections by default, just like modern IPv4 routers. It's not a complex problem or one the user should even need to think about.
Every OS has a built-in firewall as well.
What's wrong with IPv6 exactly?
I've been running dual stack on test servers just because and it seems to work fine. I've tested Windows Server 2008 and Vista clients with IPv6 and it works fine. I even get IPv6 connections to some internet servers like Mozilla.
Admittedly, I'm not an expert, but I'm looking forward to the end of NAT on every router.
So, in short, you don't know what you're talking about, you don't like Microsoft and you don't care what others have to say.
Good for you.
It's not that hard. Right Click -> Run As...
Yes, it doesn't work with all software, but it works most of the time, even in the Control Panel.

Why not? There a plenty of times when "average Joe's" assumptions are just plain wrong.
