Why don't you ask the executives what information is important to them? They are your customer so you need to gather their requirements, not ours. Once you know what questions they want answered, you can then generate reports that answer them.
This is a bit OT but I wanted to say that snydeq deserves a cookie for linking to the print version. I can only imagine that the regular version is at least seven pages. I hope slashdot finds a way to reward considerate contributors such as him or her for making things easy for the rest of us.
If you RTFA, or hell, read the summary, you'll note that spammers are posting using the addresses of existing members, meaning that new-user moderation is bypassed.
Moderation is where every message must be approved before it's posted. So, again, if this person is moderating the mailing list, then I don't see how messages are getting through unless he is explicitly approving them. If someone can post to your list and the message doesn't need to be approved, you do not have a moderated list.
Even those that do - say, McDonald's - can't exactly advertise a burger that they're offering nation-wide in the U.S. for a particular price in another country where that product is not available, or is available but for a different price.
Brand awareness can still be of value. Even though an ad might be for a Big Mac, the person who sees the ad might want to go to McDonalds and get a McArabia sandwich after watching Brian and Stewie tell fart jokes.
Tor is useless. It's a neat idea but doesn't work in practice due to bandwidth problems. Every time I have tried it, connections almost always time out without receiving data. The few times I do receive data it can take minutes for a web page to appear, say nothing of the images which would still need to load.
By pushing for the right to turn GPL-licensed software into the heart of a proprietary business model, he is squandering an opportunity for advocacy of open source within the European Union.
RMS could not care less about open source. He only cares about free software. There's a difference and he will go to great pains to point out the difference if you engage him using the term "open source." If you are going to respond to him, the least you can do is use the terminology correctly. Otherwise he'll interpret what you say differently than what you probably meant.
You have it backwards. I want to stick with the version of Ubuntu that works for me and is still supported but update one application to the newer version.
Will this be backported to Ubuntu 9.04? I'd like to upgrade to OOo 3.2 because there are some features that I need, but I don't want to have to update my entire operating system and my other applications. Compiling OOo myself is beyond my capabilities.
While I fully understand you being annoyed that your current distro/version ships with a default configuration that isn't fully adjusted to this very common usage pattern, it also means that the situation will get better as distributions learn how to properly integrate Pulseaudio and the remaining bugs in Pulseaudio itself are fixed and it gets better at automatically detecting and adjusting to different hardware setups.
The problem is that once it gets close to working, someone will come along and develop a new program that replaces PulseAudio, making tons of promises of functionally. Distros will rip out the working code and replace it with the new less functional code. Meanwhile, the users will be told by the developers how great everything will be once the new code works, even though it's not yet up to the standards of the old code. I've seen this over and over in distros.
Either way the cost of decoding a genome is dropping so quickly it puts Moore's Law to shame.
I don't see what Moore's Law has to do with this. Moore's Law is about the number of transistors doubling every 18 months. It has nothing to do with costs.
According to an article that I read, a mix of negative and positive reviews makes the product more attractive than only positive reviews. It seems that this retailer is probably preventing sales by not letting negative reviews through.

He needs thicker skin if he's going to deal with the LKML crowd. I wouldn't give up just because it's not merged into the official tree.

None of what you posted has anything to do with teaching English in a foreign country and therefore isn't relevant to the item you quoted.
How is spam getting through if you are moderating? Are you approving spam messages?
And what does the outgoing arrow mean? A call is a two way conversation so I don't see what point you are trying to make.

That's just a cop out. Quality software can be written for any platform provided the developer puts in the effort to make a quality product.

You seemed to miss this part of my post so I will post it again:
I don't want to have to update my entire operating system and my other applications.
I only want the newer version of OOo. Everything else on my computer works fine and I don't want to mess with it.

I've never heard of either of them. How are their deaths related to SCO? Some background would be helpful.

Please start with applying IPv6 support.
I'm confused by the photos. Are they comparing it to a Sony PRS-505 reader or is it just a power source for the Sony reader?
Just don't drop the SOAP.

Enough already. This meme has run its course.
Unfortunately, it's the only home router to support IPv6 and 6to4.
