Fair queueing would probably be better than different caps based on peak/non-peak times, but I don't know if anyone has figured out how to do it on a shared-media network.
(As an aside, I looked up queueing in a dictionary and there seem to be two acceptable spellings, which makes googling a little harder.)
A large router costs as much as a house. Many ISPs are losing money or barely breaking even as it is, so I don't think there's any kind of artificial scarcity here.
If Java is so open, where do I download the Java Compatibility Kit (the test suite for Java VMs)? The only way I've heard of is to agree to the SCSL and agree to pay royalties to Sun.
You gave several examples of open source software, but those aren't open standards.
If Java was an open standard, independent and compatible implementations would be possible. That's not currently the case with Java, although it seems to be changing for the better.
Apple doesn't want developers to write weird-looking X11 apps; they want native apps. And as a long-time Mac user, I completely agree. Give me fewer, more beautiful apps any day.

If your machine is secure, it doesn't matter whether crackers can discover your IP address or not.
PC3200 RAM, which can match the speed of the 400MHz FSB, is already available (although it's non-standard). If you want more bandwidth than that, use two channels.
Heat would build up in the centre (yes, they are watercooled, but every part will be making heat, and not all of them connected to the heatpipe and watercooling system).
Every brick is connected to the water-cooling system.
Why is it that Squid always seems to be neglected when people are talking about stable, successfull open source projects - Squid rocks!
Maybe because in the Polygraph benchmark bake-offs, Squid is consistently one of the slowest proxies tested. When compared to other open source proxies Squid may rock, but that's about it.
It's funny that you call 802.11a nonstandard when 802.11g is the one that hasn't been finalized. 802.11a/b combo chipsets will arrive before 802.11g chipsets, and at that point 802.11g will be mostly pointless.
You don't have to rip out your 802.11b network to use 802.11a; you can have two sets of base stations and migrate incrementally.

Firewire sounds like a good way to attach a CD-R or tape drive for backups.

IBM's VM and TowerJ are licensed from Sun, thus not independent. Kaffe doesn't support J2SE.

What other standards bodies let ANYONE in that easily?
Participation in the IETF is free.

I went to the new HP site, clicked on products, and I saw a link for calculators; looks like they're still there.
Yeah, a Google search would have told you that it's the same guy.
Zeroconf predates JXTA, so I don't think they're related.

The IETF zeroconf working group, led by Apple's Stuart Cheshire, has been working on this for a while.
Intel should be building ATA-133 and Firewire/IEEE1394 support into their chipsets as well. And the i845E should have support for DDR300.
So buy an SIS chipset instead.

What does a CD-ROM drive have to do with security?
Actually, I don't think the keypad has any electrical connection to the phone at all; it just taps on the screen.
Yes, the internal components are connected to the cold rails via heat pipes. They have detailed thermal models.
The W3C issued PNG as a standard, since they are interested in file formats that are used in the Web. Why not Vorbis?

Yes, 802.11g uses OFDM (I think it supports PBCC as well).
What laptops have 802.11a?
