Well if you will use the "T" word, I'll use the zealot with blinders phrase; Linux NFS has been a known dog for *years* just google it.
One of the biggest one that keeps biting is us, is interoperability with other platforms (namely Sun & Irix). Random horrible performance, randomly dropping things, plethora of issues. I've got 1200 Linux systems on the floor, with that many things I'm just going to run into issues no matter what, it's the number of issues that I then make my observation with and Linux NFS servers just aren't as robust as you claim they are, nor as robust as I want them to be.
Ignorant... hahaha you are a funny guy. I'm getting better than you are in a 6+1 *5400rpm* ata drive configuration. It all depends upon your work load, matching your configuration, unless you are doing sustained random writes you should get better performance than what you are getting out of a 3 drive 7200rpm configuration.
Linux nfs server implementation has always been a touchy thing and really has never gotten up to the point that people are expecting it to be. We've transitioned from Sun & Irix nfs servers to Linux and there is a definite deficiency in it's implementation, they've only just started getting nfsv3 to work stable recently.
I'd also say that if you are only getting 28MB/sec that I've got to say you've got bottleneck, as that should be pretty easy to get.
Would quite say prices are protected, but that other countries tend to intentionally inject additional costs into fuel prices and is one of the more regressive taxes around.
Maybe you should look at your own links, open bugs are bad but you need to get a bit of a grip on reality. Especially when your own links that you tried to use as evidence of script kiddies being able to exploit you, doesn't back it up at all.

Unpatched and known (exploits) vulnerabilites are still a big Linux problem: any script kiddie can use them to break into a Linux program (like SSL, SMBFS) whenever he wants to. Any day, any time, you find plenty of these:
An unpatched system is an unpatched system, doesn't matter the OS release.
Exactly, one would think that there would be some sort of checks and balances going on... In whatever situation it would be better for judges to not rule on the letter of the law but to make sure they rule in ways that would get them re-elected.
I doubt general ISP's have any processes that troll through users emails for marketing information. That just doesn't happen unless you are a search company. It's true that system admins will have access to your account but that is hardly similar to going through customers accounts looking for data to resell to others.
Jim Kennedy, a spokesman for the White House Counsel's Office, said the Clintons were "not aware of any specific environmental concerns regarding this home."
"The Clintons are moving ahead with the purchase," he said.
Mr. Kennedy had more to say about the T-shirts. Groups that use the Presidential seal usually get a cease-and-desist letter. "We certainly have nothing against raising money for education," he said. "There are, nonetheless, strict rules and regulations governing the use of the Presidential seal."
The T-shirts, each sold at an $8 profit, promise to be the biggest fund-raising event ever for the scholarship fund, eclipsing an antique car show two years ago. Mr. Bernstein, the scholarship fund's president, said he was not worried about White House reaction to the use of the seal.
It's a common misconception, but you can use profanity or show a boob on network TV, as long as it's after 10pm. NYPD Blue uses profanity and shows nudity quite often (not full on gyno graphic shots, but nude). Why SuperBowl was a big thing was that it happened before 10pm and that it wasn't classified properly so parents & V-chips wouldn't know of the content ahead of time.
And here's the FCC rule
47 C.F.R. 73.3999: (b) No licensee of a radio or television broadcast station shall broadcast on any day between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m. any material which is indecent.
Just like with the government, it's the concern of the rogue employee, or the comapny that needs to make their quarterly numbers. They do have access to all that information, and if they wanted to; they could use it. This would be similar to the bank identity theft debacle that happened in India. And remember I was talking "tin-foil-hat" line of thought.
I'm not completely versed on it, but I'm not sure that this falls under hippa. As we aren't really talking about information sharing with health agencies but the traces you've left along the way (publically and privately), and combining those little insignificant individual bits into a much larger thing.
I'd say that making the cookie anonymous doesn't matter if they are logging your IP address. If they were separate databases it would be very difficult to correlate, but because of the combined databases they can just use your IP and get the same result.
I think people have less of a concern on individual products, but the cross ties make it concerning to some people. i.e. Being able to easily identify who you are from google mail, than cross reference that with all the websites you goto, combine with froogle, google desktop and maps tends to cause people to pause for a second. Separate individual databases aren't that big of a privacy concern, sharing databases allowing one to correlate wide disparate information sources easily can have a large privacy concern (but unfortunately only those types give the most useful, targeted, pertinent information that people really are wanting).
If one wanted to get out the tin-foil hat. Life insurance company wants to check on a person to see their health history. Using the data that google currently has, they could identify you has a probable high-risk by:
Correlate you to google mail (faily easy task) In google mail, monitor for any health related email messages (i.e. dad died of heart failure at 35) From gmail match your IP to a person doing searches for heart disease Using the IP identify that you recently mapped driving directions to a heart specialist Also using your IP froogle match any product searches/purchases related to health risk
That's the tin-foil usage there, if everybody is scared of allowing the government to have databases connected (for the above reasons), than we should be as scared or even more so that a private organization has this capabilities but has no freedom of information act requirements to be held to (or other such public controls)
The counter statement to that is, that the time involved in inability to access their documents anytime/anywhere more than makes up for the cost of office. List price of MS Office is $399, if you have an person making $60k (add standard +25% for benefits) who can't do the work they need to do for more than just 5.32 hours over a 3 year period you've lost money just counting pay, let alone incorporating cost to business opportunities. In the right situations, you could theoretically half the number of hours because they still haven't done that work.
So in the grand scheme of things if can guarantee that you won't have >5.32 hours of non access over 3 years (goes down even more if you don't replace your software every three years) you can break even or save, if you would possibly have more than that you've lost money. A single flight for a person during business hours has a good potential of erasing any profits for a web access office product. It will probably happen eventually, but it's not going to have any business acceptance in the near term.
Point: All cctld's are administered by their country (unless delegated by said country) Point: I never goto the root servers for country ttld's Point: 10 of the 13 root dns servers are in the US, *not* outside of the US Point: ICANN is *not* involved whatsoever in cctld's other than if some idiot doesn't have it in their root hints file
Well, here's a crazy thought... why don't we keep what's existing because you *already don't have to rely on foreign dns servers* for the government, there's a point for ccTLD's.
Who controls the.uk tld??? Well let's look at the root hints file... looks like NS1-7.NIC.UK plus a couple of others in the.uk do do
Well that's just the UK how about somewhere more obscure how about.hm (Heard and McDonald Islands).. well look at that ns1-3.registry.hm, looks like they control it themselves also
ummm... for a single movie that would mean youu have had to capture 172,800 individual frames stepped one by one. I think you might have a pretty large task in front of you. You'll still be left with a version with a rez lower than a dvd's 480p, which will still be around (at this time analog output is specd to be down rezd to 480p from protected digital content)
Gotta say that not having access to update the source affect on finding security issues minimal. Just because once can't go and update the source, hasn't prevented the thousands of posts to the security lists out there, or emails to the source maintainer.
You should probably pick some different software packages for your argument, and just having a gui wrap around the actions tar/gzip would be doing hasn't fixed the end user experience
java - pain in the ass to get applications to use it, lots of afterwards manual setup
firefox & netscape - the plugin hell that it is, manually copy libraries around your computer
flash - still big pain in getting it setup after you do the GUI point and click to simply unwrap the files
MyEclipseIDE - haven't used this so I don't know
Oracle - unfortunately it requires a gui, which in the past has been a big old pain in the ass, not letting you install it unless you had specific X libs (we didn't install those on our servers). Oracle general installation other than the simple extract is pain in Windows or Unix.
At the same time those companies are some of the largest investors in alternative energy, so as one source wanes they are trying to make sure that you will continue to pay $ to them and not someone else.
But you are completely ignoring the history. The government took a religious concept and ran with it. Marriage was an act of ones religion (which includes Hindus, Buddhists, etc) then government took that religious item and incorporated it in itself. Marriage is clearly an act of ones religion, the governments civil bonds are something added after the fact. Because of this, marriage in a legal sense is *not* faith-neutral, it is biased to one particular religion. When the government took the religious edicts of a religion, than picked only one religion to use as their law basis they blew your argument completely out of the water.
Don't you see the elegance in what I'm saying? You are basically saying we should oppress the church to keep the church from opressing the gay community. Why the hell don't we just divorce the religious concept of marriage from the government completely? That way if your religion says you can marry an animal you can, heck it's your religion not mine but you don't have to expect the state to allow a legal contract between your dog and you, you can go shouting through the streets you are married to your dog skip, but you won't have a binding legal contract between your dog and you. And with bigamy, if your religion supports it; what the hell why not, it's not the goverment's roll to determine your religious doctrine for you; but it is their roll to determine what is a legal contract. Go ahead and get married to 50 women at once in your church, but just take one in front of the government to mingle your assets, etc with in a civily binding contract.
It is not impractical and pointless, it is the most elegant solution I've seen put forward to remove history's error when the government took a religious concept and incorporated that into their laws. You want to be a polygamist, be a polygamist under your religion I don't care, just don't expect the government to allow a legal contract simply because *your* religion says you are married because it's not a marriage it's a civil union.
Actually recently there seems to be a trend to remove the word "marriage". As marriage came from a more religious belief and the "license" is a governmental hold over from the middle-ages (to keep the people in check"). A couple of states use the words "civil union" instead of marriage in situations, and leave the marriage part to the religious institutions.
I tend to agree with the thought that they are two separate things, the civil/legal aspect of joining resources, etc and whatever your beliefs are. By doing so it truely keeps the separation of church and state, if your religions allows to marry 20 women and 20 goats, well you can go do that; the state wouldn't have to give you the benefits but you could be "married" under whatever you believe. Today because in most states still the civil/religious parts are tied to gether, it's more of a government enforced religious mandate (for example if you allow/disallow gay marriage, because marriage basically came from religion, the government is then forcing itself onto the church doctrine)
