It could also be argued that decrypting eBooks is just mathematics. Is there some big difference between physics and mathematics in the line of reasoning you've employed?
If Fermat didn't write down the rules of number theory someone else would've. Anyone with sufficient knowledge of number theory can derive the methods of decrypting eBooks.
No, I don't this this is an American vs Europe thing. There is some subtle difference in aspect between using DS-X instead of T-X; I've never found a telco engineer who could explain it to me, but it's probably my own ignorance.
Evo plug-in for OpenGroupware.org (I know, one's in the works). Would be nice if it could sync OGo with Palm (OGo has server already).
Ability to change keybindings in Evo like you can in regular GNOME apps (Evo uses Bonobo, which makes it different; apparently you can hack the XML files to change them, but it's not easy and I was only partially successful).
Ability to store Drafts and other meta-folders on an IMAP server.
I've been wishing for better LDAP support in Evolution (and MUAs in general), and wrote up a page on my Wiki about Writable LDAP Addressbooks. Looks like they've got at least on covered.
Right. Not only that, but you've got to convince all the authors of the various editors, configuration tools, etc to support it, which more or less makes it a non-starter.
Except that Storage isn't an actual filesystem; it's an application that looks like a filesystem to applications that use GNOME-VFS. Non-GNOME apps won't be able to directly use it, AFAICT.
Yes, but regrettably, UNIX' file semantics differ from VMS' in a way that makes versioning UNIX files nearly impossible. I've considered the notion of a versioning VFS on top a regular filesystem, but few if any applications would work transparently. And if you go to the trouble to implement new system calls which applications would have to explicitly use, you may as well just do it in userspace with a library.
I've never used the RaQs, but I run my ISP using ISPMan. It's a pretty good system that uses the components I like: Postfix, Cyrus, Apache, Pure-FTPD and LDAP.
I wouldn't say an unqualified prohibitive. Depends on your needs really--I can hardly find new 18GB SCSI drives any more and in most of the servers I build, that's a good deal more than will likely ever be needed in the system. I can put 2x36GB SCSI configured for RAID1 in a box for around $400 and figure that that configuration will last well into obsolescence. I can put an IDE RAID1 in for less than half that cost, but the moment one of those drives goes, they've lost whatever they saved initially by having to get a new drive and have it installed, not to mention the cost of the downtime to the business itself. Granted, I'm talking about the small to medium business market, but there are a heck of a lot of 'em out there.
Actually, you can get a low-end LSI Logic U160 controller for about $60: http://www.softwareandstuff.com/crd_lsiu160.html. I haven't seen 36GB SCSI drives for less than $100, though, unless you're getting older 7200rpm HH drives.
There was a great children's book I read once about this very thing. Well, not about your sticky note, but the premise was the same. It was hilarious. I haven't been able to find it again.
Which speed reading methods are effective and increase comprehension? I've been interested in it for a while but have been wary of the infomercial-style advertising which accompanies most books.

Other things I'd like to see...

And if that isn't enough, sitting through drooling lawyers for umpteen hours should have been.
Wow. those are both ancient. I just tested with emacs 21.3 and it exhibits the same behavior.
Furthermore, implementing this sort of thing when a file is opened in append mode would also be problematic.

Actually, most text editors work in a separate file and the old file is unlinked and the new one linked to the file name. Try this:
$ touch test
$ ls -i test
508421 test
$ vim test # Just
$ ls -i test
508424 test
Notice the inode has changed.

You're probably thinking of an ancient portable IBM RS/6000. I've seen one; it had a PowerPC 601 with a SCSI drive; it was a sweet little box.

TCQ also reduces the number of seeks, because the requests can be ordered effeciently.
And ask an engineer too: "Good, fast, or cheap: Pick 2". He'll tell you that too. Here's a good read.
In Portland, Oregon Verio built out a whole floor or two of the Pittock building and from the reports I've heard, it's mostly empty.
Nor does it say he's got plenty of bandwidth. Still, he could have planned it a little better before submitting it, since he did it himself.

Actually, under XFree86 4, you can add:
Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:nocaps"
to your XF86Config file in the "InputDevice" section.
Also, to change it one the Linux console, you can just set the keymap to "emacs" or "emacs2" (regardless of your opinion of Emacs).

Unfortunately, this doesn't prevent the dreaded "chipmunk effect", which makes speeding it up even to 1.5x or 2x unbearable.
