Unless Sun's VM is 100% open source, Red Hat won't ship it. Heck, they purged pine. So if Sun used an "almost open source" license it wouldn't solve the problem.
This article is about Cat5 cable. The last mile does not use Cat5 cable, so this article has nothing to do with getting a faster connection into your house. Let's mod all the "gee, I can download pr0n faster" comments as offtopic and get on with the real discussion about whether our processors are fast enough to drive 10Gbps.
The new technolgy (i.e. fiber) is already developed, and they're designing kludges like 10Gbps over copper at the same time. Buy whichever one you want.
That isn't correct; a 6to4 relay gets a whole/48 allocated to it (2^16 subnets!). Since AFAIK tunnels also require a routable IPv4 address at each end, I don't see much of a difference except that 6to4 is more efficient and requires less configuration.
In theory you can scan through the disk looking for superblock magic numbers and figure out the old partition table from there. I don't know if that's actually possible, though.
There's a big difference between a manual BitTorrent download (which is what you are talking about) and an automated download in the middle of the night. If your RSS reader is doing the download then it can simply be coded to not stop sharing as soon as the download is finished; voila, no more problem.
Good BitTorrent implementations download the rarest piece first, specifically to avoid this problem. I think the reason why some downloads get slow at the end is a lack of redundant downloads, and I think Bram added "endgame mode" to try to fix it.
There's a big difference: Kazaa was designed for illegal uses (despite whatever thin veneer of legitimacy they may try to cover it with) and BitTorrent was designed for legal uses. This difference is evident in the different architectures of the two systems.
You're right that educating the public will take time, but it is worth it.
There are a few small companies that sell unlocked phones over the Web, but the carriers have generally done a good job of suppressing unlocked phones. I bought my P800 directly from Sony Ericsson because I couldn't tell which of the small companies are shady.
md is really RAID. Some people like to RAID their partitions (which Linux has supported for a long time) and I guess other people prefer to partition their RAIDs.
For quite a while Microsoft (and probably plenty of other software companies) has been donating software to schools and taking a tax write-off for the full retail cost. Not only is the first one free but it's apparently a tax benefit for MS.
The robots have to follow a predefined route or they are remotely deactivated; I assume that DARPA has chosen a route that doesn't go through environmentally-sensitive areas.

And who invented IEEE 1394? A bunch of Apple engineers.

Blue lasers have nothing to do with dual-layer DVD burning. DVDs are based on red lasers, period.
Nope, there is a royalty due on every encoder and decoder as well as every minute of content. Get the facts here.
DVD-Audio won't play in regular DVD players or computers, so nobody cares about it.
Neither. Nocona is a Xeon with the same good old-fashioned Xeon bus.

As we have to point out in every IPv6 thread, 6to4 is more efficient than tunnels.
Too much hype? Heaven forbid that the media actually notice that thousands of sites and millions of people have been happily using RSS for years.
That would be a great idea if the Internet actually supported multicast, but it doesn't.

Is using BitTorrent a form of support?
Is paying Bram to work on something that isn't BitTorrent a form of support?

Phil Karn already figured it out. The card sounds funky; it's a USB master and slave on the same card.
I guess he's got a free-range girlfriend.

Are you new here? This is how many open source drivers have been done for years.
The IBM a/b/g wireless card has been supported by the madwifi driver for a while. It's not open source, but it works.
