FreeBSD probably isn't useful to you every day. Maybe some of your net traffic will go through a FreeBSD box, but that box could be replaced by just about anything really. However, I'm not trying to say that FreeBSD is useless or irrelevant - what I want to say is that FreeBSD has some excellent out-of-band uses.
I think people should consider the value of the educational, developmental, experimental and competitive opportunities that FreeBSD provides. We need projects and communities which have low hanging fruit for beginners and we need projects that are ready to give different approaches to problems a go - so that the rest of us on whatever OS can learn from it regardless of the success of the implementation.
The same goes for my favourite alternative OS - Haiku which also contains some bits and pieces from FreeBSD for networking/wireless IIRC. (BTW, it has package management now and a lot of improvements to the native browser, and more.)
Though, maybe there is a case for just checking notifications. I have a Pebble so these come through on to the watch where it is silent and can be discretely checked. The problem with the Pebble is that if you're caught looking it may appear as though you're rudely looking at the time and thinking "when will this fucking asshole stop talking?". A device such as Google Glass would be the victimless crime in this case (maybe, I have never actually seen one) - but I'm reluctant to be in the presence of somebody who is wearing one (a clearly visible physical shutter for the camera is in dire need!).
I don't have names because I wasn't looking for business providers. Try looking at Zimbra resellers. The company I worked for resold for 01.com - in the year I used them there was never an issue.
In the recent buy-back by the employees, it was said that they're looking to improve the offerings in terms of value - because obviously their quotas a quite small. I'm thinking that more details on this should emerge within 6 months.
I have a paid account ($5 a year IIRC) because I need an email account besides that of my self-hosted email so that if my server goes down I can send emails to get it sorted out (or recover passwords that I've forgotten!). I didn't want to be "the product" for some gratis service provider so I decided to pay for service from the best provider I could find (within reason)... I was really surprised that it was hard to find a decent cheap personal email provider. Decent non-gratis email seems to be aimed purely at businesses and never at individuals.
Although I believe the future of email should not lay with providers, I really encourage people to take a look at Fastmail just to see the fact that there are providers besides Google can offer awesome services.
SQRL works around the biggest hassle with my proposal which is linking the browser and the certificate to a session. The QR code idea really streamlines the workflow. My proposal could probably adopt this idea. Where our proposals really differ is that I believe that keeping your keystore anonymous is important. With SQRL they know your keystore location (and can directly attack it, or steal it, or whatever) because of the way it uses the keystore in an out-of-band manner. I also think that when the keystore is identified this is likely to also reveal some clues as to your identity, which sucks balls.
I also think that the keys could/should be used for encrypting messages/notifications that can be published publicly but only read by the holder of the private key. This avoids email addresses which may leak your identity.
I think where this would be interesting is using Behavior Engineering (not UML!) to debug the design (and requirements) and then have automatically generated skeleton loaded into some sort of Flow-based programming system.

If the advertising becomes really bubbled I can see an issue where attractive people are shown healthy products and ugly people are shown unhealthy products because that's what their respective profiles are probably going to indicate that they want... It's like the Search Engine Bubble (http://dontbubble.us/) - except for advertising.
I can't stand console controllers, but this one actually seems to afford the user some resemblance of speed and accuracy. While I'd still infinitely prefer a keyboard and mouse the Steam controller has put me in a favourable disposition regarding buying my first console, a Steam Box... As opposed to: "A console? Over my dead body!"
As a young single male my thoughts on this probably count for squat, but I think that young kids should have access to technology but *only* under direct guidance. It should never be used to "shut them up" and it should be rationed when used as a toy.
My reasoning is that while there is *huge* benefits for the child when guided through enrichment activities it is detrimental to allow your child to simply vegetate (mostly mentally, but also physically) with these devices in their hands.
Spending time *with* your child and using these devices to get a head start on reading, writing, critical thinking, general knowledge/worldwide culture is basically the direct equivalent of guiding a child through their school homework. It's bonding, entertainment and education all in one and not in a terribly lame way! (like most "educational" games). As a child that did not get the privilege of having help with my homework (but occasionally with other things) I can vouch for the difference this makes.
You should not be forcing the child to perform to a high academic standard during this time (thus making it a negative experience). Just make sure they are thinking by asking them about what they're seeing/doing and introduce stimulus material where you can.
EVE uses IronPython which compiles down to the CIL (like other Microsoft languages, like C#) so it is not a frozen Python application. Similarly, if there was a Python implementation for LLVM it would be the same situation. AFAIK.
I agree about single points of failure, but I think some of your points are a bit of a stretch.
However, storing excess energy using hydrogen or molten salt might be good enough to keep things ticking over until repairs are done. But of course this is just a band-aid solution.
But obviously solar plants would be great for refining ore mined in space before it is plunged down to earth where energy is more expensive (or it could be manufactured further in space, eventually).
Whatever you chose should really be run over a VPN for external usage. Period.
I'd look at using ownCloud - and you can get commercial support if it is required. I used to work for a company which used Novell iFolder and that was pretty good - but looking into that a little more it seems like Novell has a new thing called Filr which seems to tick the boxes (especially from a Manager perspective).
Reflecting, I think you are correct - though I think there was a gas that was an additive to the environment. I myself never worked on the farms but I did grow up in a very heavy Apple growing area. "A few years" was a slight exaggeration but 12 months definitely isn't. I think you are right about different varieties degrading differently because I find Royal Galas to be the most boring and bland apple, but I can tolerate them when they are actually fresh.
I think some storage rooms are able to be heated to 70 degrees too, so that at the end of a cycle they can clean any fungus from a room (I assume that's the reason). I heard somebody accidentally slow-cooked their dog in one of these rooms.
How does it go wrong like this?

If asked, I would have said that they were in my top 5 IT sites, but the fact is that I rarely actually went to them. I don't know why exactly I didn't go more. What makes a site be at the forefront of somebody's mind when they sit down with coffee in pursuit of their daily news? The best reason I can come up with is that the name wasn't quite as punchy as "slashdot.org" or "ars technica"...
We just pack the broccoli in styrofoam boxes with a bit of ice. Seems to work great. The stores just store the boxes in a cold room upon delivery. Rocket surgery, I know.
Also, if you think broccoli tastes bad then I suggest the problem is your cooking skills or your belief in anti-vegetable propaganda (probably fed to you as a child) and not the vegetable.
I wonder if Broccoli can be gassed like apples. Most people are unaware that the "fresh" apples they get in store are actually a few years old. The secret is keeping them in a store room filled with a gas to stop them from ripening further and going off.
I chuck an absolute tantrum whenever I am exposed to an inkjet printer. They are hands down the most stupid and irritating piece of technology known to mankind. I eastimate the success rate of an average inkjet printer to be in the 7 - 9% range.

They should be fired, or have their pay cut.

You are correct on all counts.
A few days before I first heard of SQRL (a few weeks ago) I came up with a very similar proposal, which I published on my blog http://ddevnet.net/posts/anonymous-authentication-with-pk.html
SQRL works around the biggest hassle with my proposal which is linking the browser and the certificate to a session. The QR code idea really streamlines the workflow. My proposal could probably adopt this idea. Where our proposals really differ is that I believe that keeping your keystore anonymous is important.

This trend is obviously unhealthy...

Now you can be disappointed with *all* the open source software support for ARM systems simply by rebooting!
Given that half of Slashdot works in corporate IT I'm sure we're all shocked by this announcement.

Oops. Got mixed up.

Roundcube is PHP based - and comes with all the joy PHP provides... Please turn your sarcasm detector on to enjoy the full effect of this posting.
Company B is obviously much more honest than Company A.
"your own Amazon EC3 instances" - isn't that an oxymoron?
