Speaking as an American who thinks that an act of aggression against a supinely compliant nation of children bombed and blockaded into disease and starvation for 12 years is a war crime, I too hope that this operation has successfully removed Saddam Hussein from power, and that these acts of war prevent a U.S./British occupation by removing the last pretext for total war.
Killing is always evil. When it is justified in the defense of non-aggressors, and is a proportionate response, it is a lesser evil. The trajectory of this administration is towards a disproportionate response to the evil of the Hussein regime, but if they pull off a decapitation operation, and subsequently withdraw their forces, I will be very pleasantly surprised that no war crimes have occurred.
I will always be sadly disappointed that the administration which I voted for was willing to resort to lies, propaganda, subterfuge, bribery and bullying threats to force an unjustifiable war, but I could even forgive the contempt of the the Security Council and the American democratic system which those actions demonstrated, if they managed to remove the Hussein regime without an invasion or subduing bombardment.
Just a word to root for the ISO standard terminology, which disambiguates the base-10 and base-2 scale prefixes: 2^40 bytes is a tebibyte.
Also, although the Hammer implementation may be limited by physical address lines, I believe the AMD architecture uses a 48-bit address space, for 256 tebibytes of addressable memory.
The bulk of the value in the mysql and php web documentation is in the user comments (especially true of the php library functions, which typically have minimalistic documentation).
Both of these examples would greatly benefit from the attention of an editor who would periodically roll the results into the main document. (But be sure to include a copyright release in the submission form.) While the current result is suboptimal in this regard, on both sites, it is still a vast improvement over the unannotated documentation.
Make it easy for people to submit their tips, and provide a useful online kernel of documentation, and the result is very useful.

The term "open source" has been used for decades to refer to information sources which are not clandestine.
JavaScript is JavaScript, whether it is called JScript or ECMAScript or JavaScript. In ordinary usage, Java refers to a language which may or may not correspond to Sun Java in its particulars, but does so in the main.
My customers don't give a rip about Sun's trademarks, because they don't use them. I use the word Java to refer to the Java language abstractly considered, and there is no actionable infrigment in that act.
Get real, dude.

I've ported more than one large application to gcj, and it's not rocket science.
I agree that running under both gcj and jdk is frought with annoyances -- it's a death of a thousand cuts. That's why I just use GCC as my platform, my portability layer, for Java code.
And yes, I'll call it Java, just as I'll call this paper thingy a kleenex. And when I open a box of candy, a gift from a sweetheart, I'll call it an Open Box, full of Free Candy.
Actually, all the water you drink is purified sewage. It's just matter of the time since it was last evacuated from an organism.
However, deep water, as in half-mile deep, is going to keep the population solvent for a few millenia, so we can probably remain averse to fresh leavings for the forseeable future.
Java is open source too. Kaffe is Open Source (tm), and the JDK has source freely available, so while it is not Open Source (tm), it is open source, but not Free Software (tm) -- just free software.
That, and you can also use gcj. gcj doesn't do AWT or Swing yet, so use SWT for GUI stuff.
Anybody who has a moral standard other than "if it feels good, do it" should be able to at least understand why such a strategy would be helpful to people who share moral standards with someone else.
