What you're looking for doesn't exist. VNC is great, but without the middleman you're never going to have ease-of-use for the people you're trying to help... they're going to give up trying to get port-forwards set up on their router long before you actually get in to help them.
Logmein / Teamviewer / etc is what is needed, and just plain works. If you have to choose one, it should be Teamviewer... can run client and support on all three specified platforms, and the QuickSupport option on Windows is a godsend - nothing like telling a client / grandma / whoever to simply download and run a small executable to let you in and help them.
Unless I've misread, I don't believe Spamhaus has ever acknowledged jurisdiction. The reason they never responded in court was that they believed the action had no bearing on a UK company.
My SL-6000 goes everywhere with me. It can do the fancy stuff like WiFi and multimedia, and while certainly not as polished as Palm's PIM, works admirably.
I get very decent life from the battery, and the fact that it's a mini-linux box has proven invaluable. Everything from serial and network testing, to web development. Nothing beats being able to start up Apache to test a few changes out.
I was concerned about electricity use as well (seeing as I live here in California with our triple rate overuse fees), but when I actually hooked a multi-meter up to my little PII-450 gateway/fileserver, I found consumption to be much less that I expected... about $7/month, even at our super high rates.
You might want to take a better look at which states allow you to carry and which don't.
Tennessee's official record states reciprocity with 11 states, and lists another 16 states recognize the Tennessee permit, for a total of 27.
Do we really need a new standard?

Replacing SMTP?

SMTP certainly isn't perfect, but I'm not sure what improvements need to made to the protocol. Mail *should* be open and unrestricted. While I realize many people have issues with the current system (such as spam), I think most of these should be corrected at the server or client level rather than at the protocol.
I find it sad that people no longer believe they should have any rights. And property rights should be somewhere very near the top of the list. In this instance, satellite companies are beaming signal onto your property without your permission. They should have absolutely no say in what you do with it once it's on your property, unless you've entered into a contract with them to the contrary.
Contracts and easements should be the a company's protection, not a governmental mandate...
The Athlon dual CPU motherboard is "supposedly" going to be released just before the end of the year. One can only hope a dual Duron board will be released there-after. AMD really needs multi CPU motherboards to break into the business market. Currently they haven't really made much of a dent in Intel's hold over that particular market
Bluetooth is designed for very low range applications. As in several hundred feet. Of course you can strengthen and direct the signal to extend the range, but something worth pointing out is that even now in Bluetooth's infancy stage it is having problems with frequency overlap of multiple devices in an area.
As someone that has been recently looking into 2 way satellite internet, neither DTV or Dish Network's solution is what I would class as affordable. It's several hundred dollars for the equipment, and like $70 a month for the service. That's if you can get the equipment. Starband is still in beta, and the only way to use the beta currently is to buy a Compaq with the modem built in.
The problem with that is half the people that call up aren't going to like what's playing. To try and satisfy the largest number of people possible, you end up with some sappy, slow, washed out, politically correct music that no one wants to listen to.

I've noticed they seem to like that shot of the viper coming out of Galactica, firing its jets, and make the abrupt right turn.
Seen that shot more than a few times throughout the first season...
a.b.m.scifi
5 DVD set of first season, using the British Sky One satellite MPEG2 stream... looks beautiful, and is already sitting on my bookshelf.
Course, I will be buying them when they get release, but that's months away and I just can't wait that long...
Without the 2nd, how can the people truely defend the 1st?
The Zaurus SL-6000 has USB host capabilities, so you should be able to use it on that...
From the fact sheet:
Battery: Lithium ion battery delivering six to 10 hours of play on a four-hour charge, depending on use; power-saving sleep mode; AC adapter

Hardly. If you read the article you'd see that its a $120 NIC, plus $50 for the firewall software, and requires a $1000 policy server.
The Masses, as you put it, are not the intended audience of this.

No such thing as unlimited bandwidth

Jeez I'm up to an 8GB mp3 collection.... and that's just what I've downloaded.
