It shows Sun is cashflow Negative (-$73million)...it is burning cash.
The balance sheet http://biz.yahoo.com/fin/l/s/sunw_qb.html shows sun has cash and receievables of $5.6 billion and Current Liabilities of $4.3 billion. So, it has a diff of $1.3 Billion. That $1.3 billion is Sun's margin of error for a turnaround (without massive layoffs and the like).
It was short. It had not one, but 2 twin/clone oh so boring plots. Most of the supporting characters were ignored. Little addition Series/Lore Continuity was given. It seemed like a long episode, instead of a Big SciFI Picture.
It should been a big three hour movie that took risks and that rocked general scifi/sf fans and shook up the Trek Universe to grab in Trekkers/Trekkies.

What do you think the above means? That certainly can include "IP law, Fraudulent CD's, or other Piracy or theft", if the Executive branch decides so. It is going to be one Exuctive branch police agency or another.
Brin's heroes are the very definition of fuedalism. ALL his heroes are the "Best of Breed" The dolphins in sundiver, the chimps in uplift, etc. ONLY the best and brightest are allowed off-planet and reproductive privledges.
What you are describing is a Meritocracy, not feudalism. The characteristics of feudalism are (from http://www.ku.edu/kansas/medieval/108/lectures/feu dalism.html):
1) Feudalism is a decentralized organization that arises when central authority cannot perform its functions and when it cannot prevent the rise of local powers.
2) In a feudal society, civil and military powers at the local level are assumed by great landowners or other people of similar wealth and prestige.
3) These local leaders and their retinues begin to form a warrior class distinct from the people of their territory.
4) The distinction between private rights and public authority disappears, and local control tends to become a personal and even hereditary matter.
5) The feudal leaders often take over responsibility for the economic security of their territories, and dictate how resources are to be used, while at the same time establishing monopolies over some activities. This strengthens their presence at the local level and also makes their possessions even more valuable.
6) The feudal aristocracies are usually organized on the basis of private agreements, contracts between individuals

Information Warfare won't happen by itself. It will be part of a larger conflict. Information Warfare would be used by an OpFor to slow down, distract, misdirect or confuse the US, thus allowing the OpFor to do things that the US does expect, or is not able to react to quickly enough.

2) Integrated voice navigator and voice dictation (user selectable)
3) right click magnification/demagnification (sort of a zooming in)
4) right clicks to set alerts and scripts based on ations (or events)
