I wrote what I did because non-violent protest in social revolution wins because it doesn't replace one dictator with another. Personal crime is simply different: there aren't people claiming to be on the right side of the law but also doing illegal things. Non-violent protest has respect for the protester, the oppressor, the observer and the system (such that it's changed, not overthrown).
Non-violent protestors allow the injustice to speak for itself. Like taking the beating from the police because you sat in any seat on a bus as agreed by the federal court, and allowing people to see that their supposedly right-standing police treat people like that. Or standing in front of a tank with nothing more than a pair of shopping bags. This isn't about the victim or the oppressor, but about the observeer's response to the injustice of the situation. And not having any power beyond being only human compels the observer to reconsider the need to use force to get your own way.
I think that I'll keep my drives cool with good airflow. I worry that the process of expansion and cooling with changes in temperature might reduce their life.

Fixed for you. BTW, the reasonable assumptions made by Enrico Fermi and in the use of the Drake equation are that pyshics binds all in our portion of the Cosmos to use similar technology and natural processes. Therefore there will be a signature and artefacts which we, despite the inability to colonize another rock in our planetary system (let alone leave the system), would notice. But these assumptions may well be very wrong and result in other advanced life which we don't even recognise as alive.
Can you point me at the equivalent of the New Testament in Islam that would discard the laws such as stoning for adultery or beheading for apostasy, or name a mainstream Islamic school of law that considers those laws to not be in force today? Have you ever met a non-homophobe Muslim?
Yes, I've met quite a few non-homophobic muslims. No, your troll is fail about discarding laws: the Hadith helps each mosque and teacher interpret the Qu'ran but is not about discarding laws nor is about revealing a new contract between humanity and the deity asociated with the religion (as NT does). There's a small, vocal minority who terrorise a peaceful majority of Muslims with talk about violence, stonings in justabout every tradition within Islam. The Sufis are reputed to be the most mystical and peaceful; the Sunnis and Shias (and each branch under these traditions) each has a spectrum of peaceable and violent people. I invite you to consider the plausibility of your spectrum of extremism applying to another faith group than Christianity.
For patent review, have a standard Invention Disclosure form for your employees to fill in. Make sure it tells you (i) what the background to the invention is, (ii) what makes the invention new and non-obvious and (iii) any prior art that the inventor is aware of (which may be a legal requirement in your jurisdiction).
Split the reviewed invention disclosure into four categories: needs more work / apply for patent / trade secret / unpatentable but published. The last one should ensure that, if you can't make money from the monopoly provided by the patent, no-one else can either, and you get known for your contribution to the state of the art.
I wouldn't pay people to file provisional applications, because they're only a year in duration and expire unless converted upwards. Effectively, your system pays people to file twice and develop the idea in the year of the provisional application. You may wish to give people the incentive for filing the provisional application when it's converted into a full application.
Can I even add something like a CPU usage graph to my panel in Windows?
In WinXP, you can have Task Manager 'Hide When Minimized' and use that to monitor CPU usage. There's your usage box in the SysTray, but no graph. Sorry.
I've just checked and you're right. Is that not a loophole in the spirit of the GPL: sell GPL'd software as the only place to get your particular improvements?
(But once it's escaped your clutches it's Free Software -- whether by US-style first-sale or EU-style exhaustion of rights -- and you can't stop someone to whom it has been conveyed from making it available for download. That's what CEntOS do for RHEL.)
Let's check I'm not misunderstanding you. They supply the software on DVD and SD card to people who purchse it. There's no need for downloads, you say.
What of the 'any third party' requirements of the GPL: that source code improvements on any GPL-licensed work must be conveyed to any third party who requests it? So they might send out DVD's, but I'd assume that it's cheaper to pay bandwidth on an online repository than to make up DVD images every time their repositories update.
I think that the right response to 'Rock the Vote' is to say: "If you don't vote, you must live under whatever regime other people have picked for you".
Nitpick: the measurements are not quite as large as 3"x3"x3". Your own link confirms my memory: "A standard cube measures approximately 2¼ inches (5.7 cm) on each side."
Be fair to your 9250 and 4870. The 9250 has a dedicated 2D graphics stage, which (while neutered etc. etc.) has to compete with a software-defined and 3D-pipelined 2D display engine in the 4870. The silicon beats the software, as expected.
You've parsed the text wrong. Watch how the list matches up when you examine what I really wrote: "nVidia[1], Intel[2] or ATI[3] graphics for Linux depends upon their preference for powerful but proprietary binaries[1], free software compositing and low power consumption[2] or the choice of reasonable performance in ATI's binaries or high-performance free software from the X.Org drivers[3]."
Unless you're nitpicking about free software/open source, what did you mean? (And if you're on that trip, the Intel drivers in X.Org are MIT/BSD licensed and those in the Linux Kernel are GPLv2.)
To the mods who gave this a '-1, Flamebait', please be aware of the quote about Emacs "Emacs is a nice operating system. The only thing it lacks is a good editor."[1] If you don't know history, you're condemned to reinvent Unix (poorly) [2].

They're sealed against dust. Is the seal not enough to prevent ingress of cooling fluid?

Give the guy a break. Like most all people, he doesn't understand how to configure Postfix right.

As a mathematical modeller and pedant, may I point out: you could be modelling with beautiful people.
I think that the right response to 'Rock the Vote' is to say: "If you don't vote, you must live under whatever regime other people have picked for you".
Pedantry: I disagree. We'll be arguing over the interpretation of the word 'is' instead.
