As an aside, anytime I set a box in the DMZ and review access logs, the majority of IPs attempting access are from CN. Which tells me there are LOTS of pwned boxes in CN...or...they're up to something.
Agree 100%. Off topic and all that good stuff but, on a purely gut level with NO rational explanation, when I look at someone's eyes and the reading is "dead inside" my level of mistrust takes an immediate spike. As far as I'm concerned, anything associated with Zuckerburg is bad news.
Great posting but as an aside: if your buddy's box is taking THAT long to boot to a "usable" desktop ["usable" may have different meaning to each of us], there is something wrong with his box. Seriously.
And moderation is jacked as well, since yesterday. What used to be a simple process [choose the mod selection and it would be immediately applied] is now b0rked, choose the mod selectiopn and nothing happens, no update, no Apply button at the bottom of the page, nada.
Spot on. The BSA has a vested interest in making certain the numbers are huge thereby backing up their position/efforts/goals. The further insult is in assuming their intended audience [and even unintended] believes them because, well, "Who else is going to undertake such a study so you might as well trust us."
Quick nod to PCLinuxOS here. Out of the box simple, straight-forward, Windows-ish enough that even those relatives who have made the transition from Win2k/XP had minimal issues/adjustment time to get comfortable - seamless and painless, as the OP requires. Has a great built-in assortment of apps [covers all the bases outlined above] and just plain works and very well at that, even on somewhat older hardware. Gets my vote.
Ignoring the same-old-party-line-anti-Bush meanderings, I'll say this: If you really believe that the terrorists are not aware of that old truism, "Follow the money", no tin-foil hat of any size will help very much.

Except for framing, composition, inspecting DoF [crop sensors mangle this, sadly]. Not minor things, those.
As for CCDs,CMOS is more likely these days, btw.

You're right, plausible deniability and all.

I vote for the latter. Just sayin'...

Shouldn't citing Gartner immediately cast doubt on the story?

Bullshit, indeed.

Perhaps in your world-view but I have to say that, before being modded to +5 Interesting, being at the Flamebait level had it straight-up right.
