Of course, you don't use public key encryption for anything other than key exchange. The speed is not really an issue. Symmetric encryption is much, much faster - easily able to cope with the loads you talk about in real time.
If you mean CO2 it's about 3% of that produced by human activities. Try a few web searches and you'll find plenty of estimates - they seem to be converging on about 3%.
There's a common myth that it's 30% - I think it's because the papers use scintific notation, and it looks like one number is about one third of the other, until you look at the exponents...
If RedHat sells the shares for $13, they get the $13. After that, the price the shares trade for is irrelevent, surely? It may have a affect another share offer, but that must be some way down the track now, and hopefully the share price will even out after the first few days.
We've had several "Mums and Dads" floats in this country (Australia) where people were doing just this - hasn't seemed to hurt demand for the next tranche of shares...
The Linux project identified all of the major components of the operating system: the kernel, utilities, the shell, compiler tools, windowing systems, networking, and so on. It then found or built tools for each of these areas.
So, it should be the Linux/Hurd now, too? I really have trouble understanding how identifying the missing pieces and then waiting for someone to write them (as in XFree86) allows the FSF to claim them as part of GNU.
Sounds more like our favourite software giant's sort of deal...

I don't follow this argument.

It's more than 10% of the hardware cost - I'd call that significant!
Scary. I wrote > 10000 lines of python in about 5 months, while I was working on other projects too.
I must be insane.
Come on, try something people might fall for - "one of the better RMS articles" :)
If you thing anyone will thing RMS sounds at all reasonable or logical, you're the April Fools.
