The courts have been rather good about this lately. There have been a few unpopular rulelings where the underlaying message was: "This court is not about to create a new law. It is not our job." The current judges seem to be particularly good at reading and understanding the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. A skill I wish some of our politicians would learn. (I would settle for them at least reading the Charter.)
Yes. An easy to find example. I believe there was a weakness way back in the early 2.1 - 2.3 versions as well. PGP (USA version) was probably also vulnerable due to some of the RSAref.lib bugs. Source for PGP up to 5i is available.
PGP has been shown to be good secure code. Makeing the source available won't lessen the security. That is the point: peer review will strengthen the code. Phil Zimmerman knows what he is doing.
It would not have made a difference. Sun's decision to go with Gnome probably had more to do with a conversation between Mr. Young, and Mr. McNealy over a round of golf then any technical or licensing issues.
This example is pure fiction. I have no idea if Young and McNealy ever exchanged more then 3 words. It is a story to illustrate how many business decisions are made.
You can't compare cities like this. The old 1996 pre almagamation Greater Toronto Area was 630sqKM, with a population of 2.4million. Compare this to say Paris: 105sqKM 2.2million. You have to include the greater urban area.
You are correct that we have spent for more time on this then necessary.
I will add that your numbers for %living in cities is quite different then when I was fiding from US census info. From New York State Data Center there is a link to 2000 demographic data by city/area that at a quick glance indicated 6.4million of the 10million non-NYCers lived in the major centers of Buffalo-Niagra, Naussa-Suffolk, Rochester, Albany, and Syracuse. I chose NY as a counter to Ontario as New York and Southern Ontario have much in common: climate, geography, industry, and colonization periods. This is obvioulsy not my field of expertise. I may be misinterpreting these results.
Those cities you list are huge, made up largely of low density houseing. Toronto-Missisauga-Vaughan are indestinguishable. That is why I looked for metropolitan areas. Toronto itself is only recently one city. 5 years ago Toronto was Toronto City, Richmond, North York, York, Scarborough, and a few more. Similarly Ottawa and Missisauga are almagamated cities. Ontario's excuse is that it is the most southerly part of Canada. It is the closest to the big US markets. All the jobs are there.
Large tracts of Canada are uninhabited because few people can afford to live in the middle of nowhere. People want to live around the population centers where they will find work, schools, and places to shop that don't involve driving for 4 hours.
I disagree that Canada's population is "a lot more concentrated." The population densities don't support your argument. Northern Ontario is said to be 60% of the landmass, and 2% of the population. So 40% of Ontario is "Southern Ontario." Just as a thought process move the line farther south and say that everyone in Sudbury and Ottawa moved south making Southern Ontario 20% of the landmass and 12million people. That is still only a population density of 66 p/sqkm. If we exclude NYC that still leaves the State of NY with a density of about 75 p/sqkm. Compared to NY the people of Ontario have the same backyards. The economic ramification of the difference in population densities is that if a company is looking to sell communications or transport, said company has less customers for the same infrastructure cost. That is why there are fewer roads and kms of phone line in Canada.
It is not that different in America. The time line is just a little longer: 30-40 years. Many of the houses in the 60s and 70s boom were poorly built and are currently being razed or rebuilt. The current crop of houses are no better. Haveing watched the construction of, and lived in a modern suburban home I can assure you that many North American home builders are striveing for that 15year turnover.
What you are really saying is that a modular house wouldn't work for you. Because you wouldn't bother to rearange it. All you have to do is watch a couple of interior design shows to see lots of poeple who would reconfigure their home on a semi regular basis.
I will argue the statement: "good designs for homes have been made for hundreds of years". House design and construction has changed radically in just the past 100 years with indoor plumbing, modern heating/cooling, insulation, and lighting. I will agree that in hot climats some of the time perfected design features beat many modern building practices. However how we live in, and use our homes has changed significantly. (Note that these observations are based on my North American biases.)
I take particular exception to the verbe "made." While good designs may exist I have yet to find any good houses actually being made. Any new house built in my area is typically poorly constructed, and based on ill concieved plans "designed" to include a list of marketing features that sound good on paper. Above all the houses are universally ugly, monotone, near identical behemouths. You will be hard pressed to convince me that your North American city is any better. I did a bit of travelling this fall and saw the same cookie cutter houses everywhere I went.
I fear that the only way I will ever see a well designed home is to pursue a degree in architechture and design said home myself. (Don't think for a moment that I haven't seriously considered the idea.)
If you saw a map of the US you would see the same thing. Have a look at the USA state by state census. Compare The eastern states to the central states, and western states.
Have a look at these census numbers for Canada's 27 Metropolitan areas. The top four cities have 1, 2, 3.5, and 4.7 million people. Two more cities are just under 1million, 3 more are just under 700thousand. The other 18 areas are spread between 150, 450 thousand. Does this really mean the population is more concentrated? The largest population centre, Toronto, has a density of 603 p/sqkm. Compare this to the entire state of New Jersey: 437p/sqkm. That is a "high density" city compared to a state. New York state is better at 155p/sqkm. But this is still higher then the density of southern Ontario and Quebec. The most densly populated regions of the country. 20% of the popluation live in small towns of 10k or less. These seems to compare favorably with the USA where 80% of the population live in "metro."
*My 2-3 million number was wrong. I suspect the difference is due to the use of "metropolitan area" versus city.
Canada's population is more concentrated than the US.
Probably not. The most densly populated parts of Canada are only above 50 p/sqkm and those are cities. Canada's largest cities are only in the 2-3million (1e6) range.

There is a problem compareaing straight numbers like that. The USA has some large empty areas like Alaska , and the south west deserts that are sparsely populated and skew the numbers significantly. You should see a map that plots population density to geographical area. You will find that parts of the USA, such as the eastern seaboard, have popluation densities that are more comparable to Europe.

That is an X problem not a KDE3 problem. It sounds like the G400 is being used in framebuffer mode. Some distros use FB when available. It could also be a lack of ram.
Not much. Execuables are packaged with some header information that tells the OS where to load the binary into memory before the executable can be run. This format is the "table of contents" of the executable.
In order to run Win32, or Linux, executables on FreeBSD you need more then the executable file format. You also need the system libraries for the respective systems. Wine Is Not and Emulator. Wine is a Windows library replacement for i386 *nixes.
