Can't help you with the disk t(h)rashing itself, but I found that Ubuntu runs/usr/lib/pm-utils/power.d/laptop-tools whenever it wakes up to set some proc-stuff with hardcoded values. You may want to consider changing that file (after a quick dpkg-divert --rename).
It's impossible for a browser (or a user, for that matter) to see the difference between a site with a CA issued certificate and that same site with a hijacked connection (and a dummy self-signed cert inserted by the eavesdropper). It HAS to give a fuss about that certificate or the entire CA-certification system is useless.
The real question is: why is it so goddamn hard/expensive to get a CA to sign your certificate?
Use certs with the "subjectAltName" X.509 extension that let you create a single cert valid for multiple DNS names. I do this (with a CA I created & control), it works very well. The downside is that I think commercial CAs make you pay extra bucks to sign such certs (if they even accept to do that).
We use this a lot at our company and it works well in both Firefox and MSIE.
The only drawback is that you need a single certificate for all sites.
If I recall correctly, where I live (the Netherlands) copyright law (auteursrecht) also applies to running a program, which is seen as making a copy into computer's memory or something. In other words, I need to accept the GPL to be legally allowed to run a GPL licensed program.
It's even worse in the Netherlands though (article in Dutch, unfortunately). Summary: privacy and other citizen rights continuously eroding and no one cares.

Maybe because Ubuntu say so themselves?
I take it you're being sarcastic? I bought two of them last year (HD103UJ) and both are already failing their SMART selftests. Feh.
Quota is about money headaches, not infrastructure headaches. Google can't help you with that.
Yeah, programming is easier if you don't have to do bounds checking on every operation; the same goes for proofs.

Most unices use mmap() to load executables and libraries. Pages from such libraries are mapped on demand.
Don't move; the Thought Police will arrive shortly.

It IS worse: it gives a you false sense of security.
You have 2 solutions:

Option 2 is not going to work:
Can CSRF be prevented by implementing referrer checking?
No. Referer headers can be spoofed using XMLHTTP and by using flash as demonstrated by Amit Klein and rapid7 and therefore cannot be trusted.
(From The Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF/XSRF) FAQ.)
On an unrelated note: whenever you check referrers, please allow for missing referrer headers so that I don't need to make my browser lie to you.
Erf, watts*time of course. Monday indeed.
But hey, maybe American lawyers can't spell either. :P

Eh, isn't that simply the long s you're referring to? That has nothing to do with "running out of esses".
The point is to give people at least one "good" choice, not necessarily "more".
9 out of 9? Well, I stand corrected then :)
Really? Please take the GPL Quiz and tell us what score you got. Hint: it's surprisingly tricky!
I think you can get chlorophyl machines that are solar powered, these days.
Then I think you want this videocard.

http://www.debian.org/ports/kfreebsd-gnu/ It actually works quite well.
