I wouldn't think that germans would find the 2nd amendment to be so weird. I would bet that plenty of jews desired a means to defend themselves in 1938.
User-level security has been at the root of Windows NT security from day 1. I work at a shop with over 75,000 NT workstations and servers, where all permissions are based on the LDAP or Active Directory OUs that a computer or user belongs to. There are NO interactive local users on any box. Only 2-3 apps have had a problem with our model, due to bugs in the app.
Here are a couple of articles that describe NT security.
The problems that you describe are attributable to incompetent administrators, not the OS. On the Unix side, I've seen plenty of environments where the solution to some permission issues was "chmod 777" or having everyone su to root.
I used to have similar problems, and found that a little planning went a long way in keeping me productive.
Start by writing a list of things to do. Include things like laundry, cooking and housework -- not just work.
For complex tasks, write an outline that breaks down what you need to do.
Also, keeping a journal ON PAPER helps. There is a reason why people have been writing down their thoughts for centuries. The journal can be simply a checklist or brief description of what you did.
The journal is the most important part. When you look over a month or week's worth of journals, you are basically forcing yourself to be honest about what you have done and how you have done it.
You need to learn how windows authentication and permissions work. The NT model is more robust than most default Unix implementations, and difficult for many Unix-people to grasp.
If you are using active directory, you need to understand ldap.
If you are a good Linux admin, you'll be a good Windows admin too. Remember that groups.google.com is your friend.
If you have a very limited budget and very specific task to accomplish with that budget, you should be sticking with proven (or known) solutions rather than whatever is the "hot, new thing".
The really funny thing is that plenty of/.'ers posted that kind of shit (except they were serious) when RIAA was pursing mp3.com & napster back in the good 'ol days.
You think that you are politically active -- but you're not. You send the NRA $35 a year, big whoop.
Understanding technology has nothing to do with writing law. The concepts that are at the core of Western democracy were developed thousands of years ago by the Greeks & Romans -- modern people have just tweaked things a bit.
Media companies haven't lost -- they have successfully manipulated copyright law for 100 years! There was no "mass media" until the 20th century! Media corporations will be sending people to jail for trading MP3's, and the mass-movement to "trade" media will collapse once that happens.
Do yourself a favor, and go to the library and look for two biographies written by Robert Caro. The first is "The Power Broker", the story of the man who created our suburban culture and was the most powerful (and unknown) man in New York for 60 years. The second is "Master of the Senate", which cronicles Lyndon Johnson's election to and domination of the US Senate.
Read these books, and you'll begin to understand the political system. It isn't the best system, and certainly isn't the worst; but it is definatly not going anywhere.
You don't suppose your employees might want to do things like buy houses or send kids to college, eh?
Corporate pride & intelligent financial decisions are two discrete things. Ask all the poor bastards at Sun or Intel who lost hundreds of thousands of dollars about that.
Sealands legal status is hardly clear. It is a former man-made anti-aircraft platform in the Thames estuary.
There is an island which claims to be an independent principality in the middle of the Hudson River in New York state. The guy who owns the joint calls himself a "Crown Prince" and has a declaration of independence dated sometime in the 1600's. Nobody has ever done anything about it because that little island doesn't really mean anything.
If "Sealand" ever starting doing something truly annoying, like hosting P2P index sites, somebody would pull the plug on their communications or Britain would just claim it.
For all your bitching and bleating, I bet you have never been in a voting booth or been part of any kind of political organization.
Government does the things that it does because people like you bitch & rant on messageboards or to your friends, but never take your concerns beyond that.
The concept of a completely anonymous publishing method sounds great in print, but I fear that accountability and liability are needed in a civilized society.
Consider the Federalist papers in the days of the American Revolution. People like James Madison and Alexander Hamilton, who were facing the gallows if caught, printed the papers on pamplets and in newspapers under pseudonyms to avoid the wrath of the British crown's officials.
While authors of the papers were anonymous to the public, they were known by and accountable to a core group of revolutionaries.
Freenet allows anyone to publish anything without any form of accountability or attribution. All you have to do is visit a Yahoo or AOL chatroom or watch a mob to discover how people behave when they feel anonymous.

Freenet 0.5.2 Released

Running kiddyporn sting operations was a major source for convictions of pedophiles. In the past, most of the easily locatable sources of child pornography were actually run by the police. The advent of services like freenet make it easier for global networks of these scum to continue.
The problem now is that we are toward the end of a bust cycle. You'll see things start to improve, if you havent' already.
Also, look at smaller companies. From what I have seen, large (bloated) firms are suffering the most. Smaller companies, particularly those that write or maintain software or computing environments for health care or gov't are doing ok. (In the US anyway)
I would also suggest getting some skills to supplement your CS degree. Learn how to sell stuff or how to admin some weird system or even fix cars -- the experience will help you later.
It's amusing that major companies are blindly outsourcing their businesses to companies in South and East Asia.
All it takes is an uprising in China or nuke fight between India and Pakistan, and US & European engineers suddenly become a hot commodity again.
Keep in mind that when ever you choose engineering or technology as a career, you are by default subjecting yourself to the cyclical trends that dominate that kind of industry. If you are looking for stability, be a teacher, policeman or accountant. If you want the big money that comes with the engineering & high-tech fields, accept the risk/reward ratio.
If you need to ask "How do I get into senior management?" in a forum like this, you probaly don't have the intestinal fortitude to make it past middle management.

The costs of processing and verifying tiny transactions make it difficult to process such payments and make a profit.
Well IBM is using it as a developemnt platform for Websphere, Tivoli and other big $$ products, so I highly doubt that it will be going anywhere.
Prior art and copyright registration are completely different things.

Sure, that's a great idea! By the time you finished downloading "The Hulk", it would be in the $4.99 DVD bin at Wal-Mart.

You are a liar. BitTorrent users would never illegally pirate software or other media.
Also, since I started using BitTorrent to download movies, I now go to the movie theater more often.

A couple of years ago /.'ers made the same pronouncements regarding Napster. Where is Napster now?
I hope nobody takes your brilliant analysis seriously.
Setup a Windows 2000 or 2003 domain and enable roaming profiles.
If you can't figure it out, google for info or get a book. It's pretty easy to do.
If you are too cheap to setup a domain, don't bother.
Someone who is going to be a senior manager or business owner doesn't need to be told that -- they just do it.
That's the difference between the guy running a company and the guy sitting in a cube.
