Wasn't there a $100,000 speeding ticket in Finland a few years back?
Yes. That happened to the current CEO of Nokia (back then he was VP or something). The fines are scaled according to your income (the idea being that if the fine were a fixed sum it would just give richer people a reason to consider it 'fun tax' instead of a real punishment) so a guy making tons of money gets a big ticket too. If you have no income, it goes down to a few hundred euros (depending on crime).
Of these two choices FreeBSD is more towards desktop even if it makes a fine server OS. Personally I prefer to run OpenBSD on my servers. Solaris is for running Oracle.
Why switch operating systems due to it's own sake?

OpenSolaris Or FreeBSD?

You didn't say what's your specific need. If you are just testing out different systems and doing some studying, then the correct answer is probably "Both". If you have specific need then would have been nice if you outlined that. FreeBSD is more towards a desktop, Solaris is more for servers, but you already know that. So if you aren't just doing this out of academic interest, would sure help to know your requirements (and why didn't the Linux flavors work out?).
I agree. At the same time you should abolish the whole "daylight savings" time. Just use UTC for everything, and then simply state that stores 3 hourse before local midday and close 8 hours after (for the 9am-8pm hours).
So I'm guessing you've never actually used bluetooth devices?
Actually, I have conducted interoperability testing for Bluetooth protocol stack (HCI, L2CAP, SDP, OBEX, RFCOMM) with quite a long list of devices as part of my career. While there are some genuine problems with some devices with bad implementations, most of the isses were really security related. For example the good old Nokia 6310i allowed you to make phone calls WITHOUT authenticating (giving you full Hayes AT command set) if you ignored the service discovery and just connected via rfcomm to another channel instead to the offered "Dial-up networking" service. (If you have the phone and Linux, you can test this yourself with "sdptool browse " and rfcomm connect:))
However, for the most part, if you just want to use a headset or transfer some files, no issues whatsoever tend to occur.
Unless they come up with feature equivalent to the tons of profiles that Bluetooth has, I doubt it'll catch on. The nice thing is not the physical link, it's the fact that I can grab any headset and connect it with any phone. I recently bought a new car that has bluetooth-supporting radio, I can pair my Nokia phone with it, and so can my friend with his Samsung phone. The thing can also import names to the hands-free operated phonebook using the SIM access profile.
Of course, if they'll just use the profiles part of bluetooth spec and change the physical radio interface to 802.11...well, I guess you could do that, but what's the point?
Yep, I still have that somewhere. They originally planned a whole freeform portion included but that kinda got done away with. The adventure itself is ok. Should probably test how it works through Dosbox.
You know, "Old" Star Trek games by Interplay, which captured the spirit of the Original Series perfectly all the way up to the end-of-episode's philosophical discussion and/or ragging Spock.
You can do this with Xorg no matter what setup you have, even across network - I have sometimes used my laptop's basic display as desktop extension for my desktop. Check out DMX: http://dmx.sourceforge.net/
All that it is is that it writes the metadata on the disk in specific format so that you can see the raid volumes via BIOS. Note: Only "see" their status - in case you replace one drive, the resync is still done by software and you must boot to operating system. One clue is the fact that in Linux the dmraid package uses exactly same driver for accessing fakeraid-mirrored drives and Linux's own software-raids - device mapper just does a bit of magic at init.
However, if faced with choice of Windows-only or motherboard-raid, I'd go with the motherboard-version, because that's at least supported both by Windows and Linux so in case something goes wrong with your Windows installation you can always pop in Knoppix or some other Linux CD for recovery.
Interesting is that Facebook, linkedin and whatnot ask you to give them your hotmail/gmail/etc account info so they could import your contacts...Not sure if these mail services have similar TOS though, but google account is lot more than just mail, so is MS Live ID.
When reading patents, you always ignore most of the boilerplate and preamble. Just go for the Claims section.
In this case, Claim 1 is quite understandable:
1. A computer system for the manipulation of the architecture and content of a document having a plurality of metacodes and content by producing a first map of metacodes and their addresses of use in association with mapped content; said system comprising:
metacode map distinct storage means;
means for providing a menu of metacodes to said metacode storage means;
and means for compiling said metacodes of the menu by locating, detecting and addressing the metacodes in the document to constitute the map and storing the map in the metacode storage means; and
means for resolving the content and the metacode map into the document.
Windows soft-MIDI is supposed to be a Roland GS soundfont, but it sounds pretty crappy to me, but maybe the GS/SC sounded that bad to begin with?:)
MT-32 is not same as "General Midi", which gained support later. The instrument numbers are different; Furthermore, General Midi doesn't have as flexible programming capacity; If you simply remap the instruments and try playing Wing Commander, well, whenever you shoot guns it plays piano...and so on.
Now that MT-32 emulator code has been included in ScummVM and bunch of other places, I really hope that they include it directly in Dosbox. There are some builds that contain the Roland thing, (such as http://www.si-gamer.net/gulikoza/ ) but I'd rather have those included with the project itself.
IPv6 has a nice little RFC going for it - Cryptographically generated addresses (CGA), defined in RFC 3972. Consider the possibility where every TCP/UDP session, or even every packet, comes from a different address...

Umm. Allow cookies from google. Go to Search Settings. Set your language preferences. They stick.
That's how I haven't seen Finnish version of Google except when browser sometimes decides to delete all cookies.
I always use this first thing on new crap-loaded laptops that aren't going to get wiped with Linux.

We have had IEEE 802.3ae for six years now. What's the benefit over your run-of-the-mill 10 Gbps Ethernet?
Yep, I still have that somewhere. They originally planned a whole freeform portion included but that kinda got done away with. The adventure itself is ok. Should probably test how it works through Dosbox.

What motherboards use fakeraid?
Pretty much every consumer-grade motherboard there is?
Most common is based on Intel's chipset (ICH5 or newer, ICH9R and higher also provide for Raid5), or VIA.
These motherboard "raids" are called fakeraids.
All that it is is that it writes the metadata on the disk in specific format so that you can see the raid volumes via BIOS. Note: Only "see" their status - in case you replace one drive, the resync is still done by software and you must boot to operating system. One clue is the fact that in Linux the dmraid package uses exactly same driver for accessing fakeraid-mirrored drives and Linux's own software-raids - device mapper just does a bit of magic at init.
