Childs have to pass thru body scan? Sarah Palin? Senators? There should be one bad scenario that could convince the people that matter that it should stop.
The news is that we are observing a 30 years old black hole. If you been all your life surrounded by old people, seeing for first a photo of someone of 30 years old could be news for you, even it was a very old photo.
mean that you actually have to check the spam to be sure that won't be receiving mail from people you didnt approved yet, thats so 2003's. I prefer Gmail approach.
Not all problems can be solved. That nothing happened yet don't mean that it won't in a future, and we have a good record of times when most life on the planet got wiped out. Remember that at least the asteroids found passing close to Earth in this year that were discovered with only 2 days in advance, and that is just one kind of possible global catastrophes.
Maybe won't happen anything bad tomorrow... but in some moment you will have to take the 1st step, and saying that someone in the future will do it is the safest way to never do that.
So, as the actual problem with java is the corporation that "owns" it decided to misbehave, you propose to switch to another language, from another corporation, for which misbehavig is their way of life?
If you got used to the N900, trying a windows phone the "but i can't do this things at once?" question will hit your head like a brick the first day...and it will bleed. You have the wrong culture to enjoy those phones now, would be like putting a few nice toys inside a baby cage
Not tried a lot of "graduations" of pressure in my n900... seem to be very responsive to normal pressures (i.e. the gestures to scroll), you can do very light pressure to select something without clicking on it, and some interaction seem to feel harder ones. The video on the link of my previous post shows how it works for a drawing. Other resistive touchscreens could work better or worse than it, but is my reference implementation.
Regarding capacitive with stylus, afaik the capacitive (on iphone, could be different kinds) need to be with the finger or at least something conductive as it, i.e. no gloves or full plastic stylus.
Or portable computing evolves to something less harmful, or humanity evolves to something that will hate portable computers, at the very genetic level.
Resistive have advantages and disadvantages over capacitive. You don't have multitouch, but you can have more precision, use more than just your fingers (i.e. the included stylus), and have pressure sensiivity (and be able to do things like this).
Regarding lack of applications, yes, there is very few in Ovi Store, but a lot more in the repositories. Is not in the order of the iphone or android apps, but could be enough for your needs.
All "visual" apps are full screen, or desktop widgets, so unless you check the task list, you don't "see" those apps running at once. Of course, the typical use of reading RSS means potentially a lot of browsers loading pages on background, and having running too some "invisible" apps (pedometer, music, gps related apps, etc) make you feel what means to multitask in such devices.
On iphone you can do some kind of multitasking, but is not even a shadow of what you can do in the n900, nor you can do it with the apps you want, not the apple provided. And if well things are a bit better in Android, still is not quite there.
Is an apache module, so they should be using it in a reverse proxy role or something like that. Without taking merits from Apache, i tought that they would be using i.e. Varnish for that task.
Some "aggresive" optimizations could eventually do more damage than good, the extension in apache is very configurable in its features, and some of them have their risks, specially if you work with very dynamic html. Of course, their optimizations could be the safe ones mostly, and the one that makes the pages is the one hiring their services, in particular this one (as seem to be optional), clients be aware exactly of what optimizations they are doing and what they should take into account doing/maintaining their sites.
In general, it seem to be a good idea doing it, in a way or another. And if you can't go thru all the troubles doing the optimizations yourself, and your own servers for some reason can't run this module, the cdn could be your last chance to do that.

something like that could force sites to finally make an alternative, html only version, at least for the sites where that have some meaning.

It reads "Microsoft tried to teach them what not to do, and they misunderstood the not part"

I agree that Mars will be a bit quiet, but internet connectivity will be slow to continue from there the development of reiserfs.
That in the same hardware Linux was faster than Windows is about operating systems.
They turn into Blue MicroSDs Of Death, something very valuable for cyber ninjas.

Not sure how much gold we are talking for a tree or even a bunch of them... maybe the one that had your old PC had more than enough.
Gold is a bit "healthier" than other, more reactive, metals. But not sure how much worse would be compared with what (fuel powered) cars already do.
You need special glasses to read this book?

.. is not bundle an extra program,but take out all the ones.
the problem starts when a right becomes an obligation, and involves more than just big companies in their own information

The press release talks about "selected customers" so looks like an optional service, probably you could opt out without switching CDNs.
If that amount of cameras detect having the blue sky of panic it will kill your player.
