Look at it this way... If Katie Graham doesn't want something published in The Washington Postit doesn't see the light of day No 1st amendment argument, it just doesn't get printed.

Actually it's because air-cooled engines have notoriously sloppy valve trains. (This is a good thing since the engine has to expand during more than a liquid cooled engine during warmup) The reason VW went to liquid cooling is that with the "loose" engines, there was enough blow-by that it mucked up the emissions rating. This was a bad thing, because if it didn't pass EPA ratings, they couldn't sell the car in the all-important American market.

Am I the only one who is reminded of "Calvin & Hobbes" on this? Seems to me that the Gov is like Calvin, dropping a "secret" message near little Suzie Derkins while LOUDLY proclaiming "BOY, it sure would MESS UP ALL OUR SECRET PLANS if someone were to READ THIS LETTER".
If you know you have misplaced sensitive data, would you then go about telling everyone?

I concur with your first sentence. The last time I checked you HAD to buy Microsoft software. Unless you built those Linux servers from parts, you first had to scrape off whatever flavour of Windows software that was preinstalled. True, it wasn't you who had to buy it. It was Dell or Compaq or HP or whoever made the iron, but the cost was passed on to you, you lucky consumer. I agree Linux is not a desktop for civilians [although the pedant in me will point out that Linux is the kernel... it's KDE or Gnome that's the desktop;)] but things are getting easier all the time. I can't vouch for your choice of platforms for graphics design.... All of the Artist/Web Design/Graphics folks that I know use computers from that fruit company in Cupertino;) But hey, whatever works right?
