or he just cuts the stamps off and glues them to his package. Exact same problem we have now potentially. I can't imagine it's a real issue (postmen thieving stamps off of packages and then destroying them to send their own packages for free.... uh yah).
Uhmm. Unless the power/phones are out for over a day the inherent delays in sending physical mail will vastly outweigh the time you spend waiting to get a "stamp". Personally I like what we have in Canada, "permanent" stamps, they're good forever. http://www.canadapost.ca/cpo/mc/personal/productsservices/atoz/permanentstamp.jsf. So no worry about needing to buy those one penny or whatever stamps the next time rates go up.
Canada. We're having the net neutrality thing to, the CRTC decided it was a bad idea and the prime minister (who is pretty right wing by Canadian standards, but basically a flaming commie pinko by US standards) publicly stated "CRTC will rescind ‘unlimited use’ Internet decision – or Ottawa will overturn it" (code speak for the PM).
So basically the language course will consist of: 1) learn to spell with extra "u"'s, 2) throw in an "Eh", "Eh!", "Eh?" or "EH(like a grunt)" at the end of sentences for emphasis and 3) stop saying things like "y'all".
Robots. And this just seems to seal the deal. It can go up for 8 months. Doing that with humans is an absolute pain (carrying enough food alone is a non-trivial task). I personally think we should look at a combination moon shot style effort and moratorium on "manned" space flight for say 20 years, at the end of which we plan to have a functioning moon base (because there is water on the moon, gravity to keep people semi healthy, and you can just live underground and avoid most of the radiation/etc.) that will support X (an arbitrary number) of humans indefinitely (which means we need algae farms and whatnot).
I'd rather see a short term reduction of people in space for long term gain than this piddly "space exploration with humans" program we currently have as a species.
I know for a fact Google can recover deleted accounts quite a bit after the fact (we had an admin accidentally delete a user account, all his email/contacts/calendar went poof, and the guy had around a half gig of stored email and a week or two after we figured out what happened Google was able to restore the account) so I would assume in this case the same will happen (identify the nuked accounts and restore them. Not a huge deal. To bad we have no numbers of say how often things like this happen in internal mail systems. But I'm willing to bet overall Gmail is more reliable than an in house solution and more capable of account recovery.
5 pages of reviews of a computer part that are actually all "reviews" left by consumers on shopping sites are useless when you really just want the obvious review of the part that was done by a computer review site.
I respectfully disagree. When I was shopping for a 20bay 4U rackmount back in the day the customer feedback saved me a lot of grief. For example:
Cons: 1) There is ZERO space between the drives. You can't slide a playing card between one drive and the next, and there is no room on the side either. This means that the center drives are building up heat and can't radiate it out, and there is no airflow between or past the drives. NONE!
Now in theory hardware reviews should catch problems like that and cover them, in practice they don't. Additionally there can be issues that will take time to show up (like the HD heating issue) which a hardware review won't catch (you can't spend a month doing a hardware review, you're lucky to have a few hours).
Say what you will about Apple but they do support their devices properly for a good ~3 years or more in most cases. The only way I'd buy an Android device is if it was fully unlocked so I can update it myself using stock Android firmware and still have 100% functionality, otherwise you know you're going to get screwed (not if, but when).
BCC is quite handy - prevents reply storms

The Death of BCC

I used it recently to send a couple hundred emails with myself as the recipient and BCC'ed to all the people that needed to receive it (not worth doing a list since we only had to email them once). No BCC means any replies create a reply storm, no thanks.
This is a Kerberos (server side) issue affecting vendors shipping Kerberos, not an Ubuntu specific issue. All 4 of the issues are denial of service only (which is bad for authentication infrastructure since you can basically prevent everyone from getting any work done). Nothing to get terribly worked up about.

They typically have options, not actual stock. And I suspect most are cashing out as their options vest since the stock price is flat (no point holding on to it).
In the places you need to use this the most just using this app will be grounds for a head kicking. The classic "You're trying to maintain your own privacy/secrecy, you must be up to something bad."
You know just because you carry a cell phone doesn't mean you have to answer it (or even leave it on). You can also send the call to voice mail, or if you don't have voice mail just ignore it/mute it.
He works in the mining industry and helps companies find precious metals (no doubt he helps them create geological survey maps/etc. which are then used to plan out mines/etc, pretty expensive to get wrong) which means yeah, he probably makes more than $132,000 a year if he's any good at his job (which I suspect he is).
Uhhh... I find that hard to believe. For anything with large tables, Chrome clobbers Firefox. For anything with JavaScript Chrome really clobbers Firefox. and so on. I run them side by side (quad core, 8 gigs ram, 120 gig SSD) and chrome starts faster, loads pages faster, and is a heck of a lot more stable (one bad app/PDF/etc. and firefox grinds to a halt, all tabs, with chrome you lose only a single tab since they are each a separate process).
The only reason I haven't switched to Chrome 100% is because of firebug.
For every/8 you manage to claw back (incurring ridiculous costs to the holders of it, meaning it won't happen, they'd sooner take IANA/ARIN/etc. to court and drag it out I suspect) you gain.. wait for it... a total of 1 month. It's just not worth it. And then what.. start clawing back class B's? Better to move to IPv6 and just fix it for once and all. Plus we still have the 6to4, 4to6 and whatnot to deal with for a few decades.
They then start talking about money because they need to incorporate a company that can deal with companies outside of Argentina and that will cost $15,000. They also needed to know if they were going to make over $100k/year or 500k/year as that would require different registrations
I just looked it up online and found no mention of needing different incorporation types for dealing with customers only in Argentina vs. external to Argentina, The highest fee I found online (although I'm sure there are companies willing to charge more) was USD $1760 to form a "Sociedad Anónima" vs. USD $1370 to form a "Sociedad de Responsabilidad Limitada" (sounds like a standard Limited Liability Corporation, but I'm not an Argentine business lawyer so I could be wrong), far short of the $15,000 they are asking for.

What about material released into the public domain? QED, there is stuff that is free.

No but getting several million people to pay you say.. $10 each means you don't need a resume anymore =).

They turn the "suck" knob from ten up to eleven on McAfee products? My guess: they will achieve "synergy" in 6-12 months.

There's a solution for that, it's called "encryption".
