You ought to be asking how you find yourself asking such rudimentary questions and yet consider yourself prepared to take on the role of system administrator.
While slammed for being paper tigers, Microsoft Certified engineers and Redhat Certified engineers have at least the proper background knowledge to confront the day to day operations of a corporate network. These simple questions that you pose are already taken care of, for the most part, and any sysadmin worth his salt has already set up scripts to handle any contingencies that may arise.
So the long and short of it is, go back to school and study up on the subject. If you already knew the answer, you wouldn't be asking the question.
They are only including the time from bootloader to kernel jump in the 200ms number. The actual boot time is 500ms. They still need to initialize the Flash as a bootable device and that is what takes up the 300ms. It certainly isn't anything to sniff at, but it's a little disingenuous to say 200ms when real world usage will show the lower speed.
Still, getting a system to kernel startup in under half a second is pretty decent for any bootloader.
It works by loading the OS to RAMDisk from Flash... Sounds like eXecute In Place.
Not the most original thing in the world, but definitely necessary to keep Linux in step with other heavy embedded operating systems like WinCE and VxWorks.
It's almost guaranteed that "Basic Cable" will never include broadband internet access. Perhaps one day "Standard Cable" will, but Basic Cable will never be anything more than the few local channels and the loony public access crapfest.
Getting Lindows is nothing special. Any geek worth his salt will have that disk wiped and imaged with Gentoo before the warranty card hits Seagate's mailbox.
I kind of like the Verisign redirect. I sometimes mistype URLs and the Verisign page usually has a link to the page I was looking for. It's a pretty nice system considering the alternatives.
But maybe it's time to rethink this portion of Speech.
Speech is not 100% protected. There are types of speech which have been declared illegal: obscenity, fighting words, etc. Perhaps it is time to take the fight to virus writers.
The PC Card bus is the only decent feature of PCMCIA. The size of the cards is a joke, despite "there are also some applications which have a physical requirement for the wider module, such as CompactFlash card readers, security card readers, and 1.8-inch rotating media". The embedded industry is moving towards SD/MMC cards as the standard storage memory module. What's most interesting about SD/MMC is that it is based on a serial bus, not the PCMCIA cardbus. So PCMCIA's influence is actually declining.
But they now designed a new bus which will replace cardbus. It remains to be seen whether anyone is interested in this technology. It may be too little to late. PCMCIA's day has passed, and these new gigantic cards aren't going to save them.

You're hosed. Once they've got your number as a live person, you really have no recourse.
I lose all the time at computer chess. Should it be a god-given right that I should win?

C'mon people, they are trying to run a business here, not deal with cranks.
Read that marketspeak again.

Why should I? I'm not paranoid.
1) Big window overlooking moutain range or lake
2) Ethernet jack built into wall
3) Large, multipart desk
4) Large, swiveling, high-backed chair
5) Carpet
6) Door that can be shut
7) Glass window to see who is knocking at the door
Perhaps if they only tweaked the kernel figuratively they could have stayed in business.

The gradual commercialization of characters such that their existence had a monetary value is the most interesting development in gaming, IMO.
Why just play the game when you can now buy yourself into the top ranks? It's a very interesting concept.
And is it really a good idea to have furniture that can positively ID you?
Why? Isn't this why we have computers: To alleviate boilerplate?
When you run a spellchecker, do you only ask it to flag misspellings without offering suggestions?

Seems like there's more than a few people suggesting signing up with free porn sites to get spam.
Personal experience?
But why don't you just use your personal email address in that case?
That's worked so well in the past...
Reminds me of those old Simpsons mods for Doom. It looks like a new game, but it's just a reskinning of an old game.

Enough people will be prosecuted and then people will stop.
The key for the RIAA is to ingrain the meme that if you illegally trade files that you will be caught and fined.
Nothing better than guinea pig sausages before going out on the daily hunt.
I don't know what they were talking about there.
Now my BSD cluster smells like Dove moisturizing body wash. This is going to linger...
