"once a week scanning contract" - do they make core architectural changes that often? Damn, if you signed someone up for that level of cash, I take my hat off to you, man. If all you're doing is running nmap from your cable modem, your cost is nothing more than rent to your parents for use of the basement, and your charge to your mark^Wcustomer is pure profit.
w/o trusting root, your whole application comes crashing down. All the chmodding in the world won't save you from root.
The only other way to do this would be to have your app retrieve the key from a trusted remote location via SSL, then use it on the remote app... which is sounding more and more like a kerberos or mutual SSL key thing anyways.
This is because Windows Longhorn/Vista/whatever has been in development for YEARS. Microsoft always promises the world, to prevent people from jumping ship, since the features they need are "almost there" and "will be available as a service pack", etc.
Despite closing with some pseudo-technical sounding posts about "architecture", your troll-fu is weak.
Sounds like OS-dependency and driver hell to me. Imagine if you had an MP3 decoding co-processor, an MPEG-2 encoding co-processor, an Excel co-processor, a GCC co-processor... getting it to all work seamlessly would make today's 200MB video card drivers pale in comparison. So you install WMP version 42 and you have to check "use dedicated MP3 coprocessor" in Tools->Options? The whole point of CPUs is that they are general purpose.
You're from NZ, so it sort of explains all the citations of scientific fact. But the other fact remains that nobody else outside of NZ gives a flying rat's crap about your silly volcanos, cubic kilometers of debris, or "South of the South Island". You're NZ. We'll let YOU know when you're relevant.
With what? The traditional economy goes something like: I have something, which you want, and you have something which I want. We trade. This non-concept of "economy of sharing" goes like: I have something, which you want, and I am morally obligated to give it to you, by virtue of the fact that I have it. Where is it in my interest to do so, if I do not accept your premise that I am somehow inherently obligated to?
The "one laptop per child" mentality is great at giving people the information that they need in order to succeed, but it will not make them succeed. It will ensure that everyone starts the race at the same point, but it will not make everyone a winner.
Except that Myth doesn't fscking work. Hauppage 150? Sorry, you need kernel hackery to make it work. ATI card? Screwed. Older GeForce card? Play with command line cruft to adjust overscan. Myth is a nice toy, but seriously, rent/buy a Tivo, and sit back and watch TV with the time you saved NOT farking with Myth.
You've just confirmed Billy the Gates' new mantra "The PC is no longer a producer of information, but a consumer of information". You've let your PC become the new TV. As such, it is in the interests of any OS maker to tailor the OS to maximize THEIR profits and structure, rather than tailoring it to fit your needs.

Spaceships launch east, preferably from the equator. This will mean basically that a private company can launch ballistic payloads up into the air over DC. Nobody there will let this happen.
Getting someone to use OOo doesn't make it one bit easier to switch from Win32 to Linux on the desktop. That's like saying "I got my mother to use Winamp instead of WMP, so now I can install Ubuntu on her PC and she can use Linux".

What on earth do you need 1600 special utilities for in order to keep a system running and healthy? Oh wait, I see you're running Windows.

Can't we just call him a douche and a shill, and be done with it?
Ok... "You're a fanboy"

If your HTPC needs that much processing power from its CPU, you're doing it wrong.

This is MS we're talking about, remember? The people who said that the Intarweb and your filesystem should be the same UI ?

I think I read this in the Cryptonomicon. What's next, a morse-code blinkenlight OOB journaling algorithm for Reiser V5? Stay tuned!
