Well who knows, maybe when you watch youtube, you will start getting interrupted; like on TV channels or radio stations, when they perform scheduled emergency transmission tests.
Well, yes I am like you, on the fence and I don't claim UFOs do not exist. They do, people tend to assume that UFO means ship from another planet. It could be. But it really marely means Unidentified Flying Object. Which could be a number of different things.
The thing about Disclosure Project is I am almost convinced that governments are clueless about what is going on. While they might know some things that are classified, chances are it has been kept classified because it is not understood -- beyond our comprehension. So disclosure would probably mean that a government admits to the fact that there are things happening in its airspace but it has no idea what it is and it cannot control this phenomena. No government would want to put itself in such position.
Some worried about open source phones,:) come on, whether it's open source or not you could disable that clicking, if really wanted to, on some even so-called closed-source devices (iPhone)
Microsoft Outlook Web Access (if recent built on server side) works actually very well on IE7+. It has some resemblance to hotmail.com, or maybe hotmail resembles OWA. Unfortunately it scks deluxe on any other browser:(
When it comes to other things you mentioned, why not use some of the web-based alternatives?
Time and time again I tried to convert my dial-up friend to (at least) DSL. I even illustrated to him that he pays almost same amount of $ for dial up as he would for some promo dsl package. But he goes in denial.
He's still using AOL dial-up. He's afraid to loose his infamous AOL browser and AOL chatrooms, says he loves it and doesn't want nothing else. Strange people.
I don't use windows daily, but I have windows box for games. And what I do, to avoid having to waste endless hours investigating this sort of stuff, is maintaing fresh images of my hard drive.
Simply keep OS and installed programs on C: drive, back up its entire image often. Something happens, wipe it and put _stable_ image over it.
Google Video still works for commercial hosted google accounts, i.e. video.google.com/a/www.YOURDOMAINHERE.com/#/Home
I wish they merged youtube accounts with video.google accounts somehow or perhaps made that an option. I have too many videos in both and wish they were all in one place o_0
You're right, I am from third world country. And yeah you thinking right direction:)
However, the key thing is I am already in USA, which some may agree some not that it's a heaven for illegal aliens. So why would I make my life more difficult by going to Canada and become illegal there? I guess yes, I can postpone my legal life in another country, _temporarily_.
Being a temporary resident to USA I have to agree with you completely. System is screwed and they're trying to do something about it.
If you folks think American system is messed up, try to go elsewhere. But don't say "Oh I can go to Spain because I can enter there easily". That is probably because you have EU passport.
I will give you some examples:
I tried to go to Canada to watch F1 race. I had to go all the way to NYC to apply for visa. Stood in line for maybe 4 hours. When my time came to talk to immigration agent, she pretty much told me openly that I have not demonstrated that I will be willing to come back to USA, that I am potential illegal alien to Canada. I really wanted to ask for her rationale about Canada since as far as I was concerned I was in a better country to be an illegal alien, why would I want to become such in Canada? But I did not want to bother as they have a thing called "Black list". Once your name is there, chances are you will never be able to visit that country.
I tried to go to Mexico. Same story as Canada except worse. I have to apply to so-called Immigration Institute for a permission to apply for visa. So it's even more coplex situation with Canada. Chances were I would get denied entry to Mexico, so I didn't even bother.

Using Drupal

I have extensive experience building in Drupal -- module and theme development.
I've noticed that immediate impression people have about Drupal is that it's only a blog CMS. But it isn't so at all. I welcome you to visit Drupal founder's blog, where he lists all interesting sites that use Drupal. Sometimes even I am (pleasantly) surprised at the ogranizations and institutions who move on to use Drupal. Check it out: http://buytaert.net/tag/drupal-sites
Having said that, very few sites I use will take OpenID, and some are providers only... Which is absolutely worthless. I'm waiting for something worthwhile to happen before I jump in, and I bet a lot of other people are, too.
Indeed it is worthless; moreover of those servers nearly half of them take OpenID at login screen just to forward you straight into their own registration process or such. What's the point is beyond me!
Among sites that use OpenID properly is for instance livejournal.com. If a person has no LJ account, s/he can login with OpenID and leave comment. That is exactly the way I would absolutely love to use OpenID. And that is exactly direction I'd love OpenID and its supporters to head.
I never bought nothing in iTunes for that very reason (DRM). I used to buy things on allofmp3.ru, then on mp3.com and few other places. I guess I am not a true apple fan. But I like to be able to play my songs wherever I want.
But I hate reflective display so much that truly matte worth extra $ to me.
I've also tried this method but same result. Pretty much whether I toggle via Airplane On/off or remove/insert sim card I arrive at a message "Invalid Sim Card".
I was so furious once that I wrote a tiny js thing to trick users into installing ie7, but then didn't end up using it for ethical reasons:)

Yes, I recall those NASA screw-ups when they forgot to `photoshop` few images.
If you like this sort of stuff, check out the paracast weekly podcast, highly recommend.

Disclosure project is good fantasy.
Not necessarily, give it a try. You may be surprised.
Some worried about open source phones, :) come on, whether it's open source or not you could disable that clicking, if really wanted to, on some even so-called closed-source devices (iPhone)

I enjoyed it, very cool. I only wish they used wide/fisheye lens (if it's possible) so we could see wider perspective.
Time and time again I tried to convert my dial-up friend to (at least) DSL. I even illustrated to him that he pays almost same amount of $ for dial up as he would for some promo dsl package.

Well, how about Puttix? :) Domain is taken too but name is cool still.
Lol, I wish it was called Lenix :) that would be cool.
I don't use windows daily, but I have windows box for games. And what I do, to avoid having to waste endless hours investigating this sort of stuff, is maintaing fresh images of my hard drive.

I suggest Acronis True Image Maker.
Among personal favourites is sql syntax highlighting, more advanced notes, collaboration tools.

I hate having to have hundreds of credentials.

Matte display, it makes it that much worthwhile to me. I hated reflective.

I could not unlock 3G one to work on T-Mobile :( awaiting further releases.

Well said! http://www.stopie6.org/ http://savethedevelopers.org/
Yeah, indeed. Last time I entered was before 911, while being non-citizen or non-resident for that matter -- didn't need to do anything like that.
