Don't mistake inconvenience for security. A lot of security theater is very inconvenient, often on the premise that if it hurts more it must be working better. Real security improvements have little or no effect on usability, and can actually go either way easier or harder.

Bwuahahahaha.... that was... oh... wait... you are serious?
Windows 8 will succeed not because it's any good, but because it has to - MS has a lot riding on this one, more than on ME or Vista or the other dogs. They will spend billions to make it successful, but it doesn't stand a chance at beating competition that is actually somewhat good.
You can buy market share. But you can't buy being good.
They really will spend billions. The esimates are that M$ will flush over $1.5 billion in marketing Vista 8. Some estimates are a little higher. Whether that is enough to overcome the suckiness and buy some market share still remains to be seen. So far it's not doing well on the desktop and is still a no-show in the tablet space. And what they are about to try with Dell might tip the hands of the other OEMs over to Android/Linux or GNU/Linux
As KiloByte wrote, your list is very incomplete. You can block Facebook at the firewall if you use the ASN to look up all the nets involved.
/usr/bin/whois -h whois.radb.net '!gAS32934' | tr ' ' '\n'
From there you can munge the list of nets into a list of firewall rules and add them to your firewall. No more tracking by Facebook.
In addition to calling in Ortiz, there is a petition to Fire Assistant U.S. Attorney Steve Heymann. The petitions by themselves might not do much but they do keep the ball rolling. What was done to Swartz has been and is done to many others.
The plus (+) is part of the mail standard, so all compliant mail transfer agents should support it. That should include postfix. Other characters are not supported because they are not part of the standard.
Among other things, Kolab is a product of a series of contracts for the federal office for Security in the Information Technology in the German Government, though both are quite secure.
Then there are two more: OpenGroupware and Zimbra. Module options are out there. If you're not finding them, then it's because you are not looking.
If the law passes, the search engines will go "fuck that" and only index free content or newspapers that specifically allow their stuff to be indexed for free. The other newspapers will lose their only remaining readers under fifty and die out along with that generation.
The supreme stupidity here is that a law is not needed. If the sites don't want to be indexed, it's dead simple to set up robots.txt to keep out Google and the others. But that's been pointed out thousands of times by now. So if they and the courts are not getting it by now, it is because they choose not to get it.
Microsoft is essentially paying a large builder like Dell to put Windows on the systems. Linux, on the other hand, has no one paying Dell, so that $50 premium probably represents the loss those marketing dollars.
That would make sense except that just the other day a Dell Laptop was $70 cheaper with Ubuntu Linux. Screenshots are included. I won't argue against a Ubuntu computer being worth more than a Windows box, but something is wrong.
Am I the only one that uses a hosts file? Takes care of more than just ads.
It's to the point now that when I see ads, I'm shocked. I've had them blocked for years.
They may be able to stop adblock, but good luck trying to outlaw a hosts file.
/etc/hosts is one way. It's also very easy to block it at the firewall. That goes for ad servers as well as trackers and is easily done whether using PF or IPtables. It takes a moment to set up and then your surfing is faster and less annoying.
IP stands for Internet Protocol and has nothing to do with coffee. What you are on about is called Trademark. That's what branding is all about: Trademark.
Koha is a good call. Many libraries use it. It might be overpowered for such as small collection, but it does work well with collections of any size, even in multiple languages. However, one point to make is that the original Koha domain got poached by squatters. The original project is now available at a new domain, Koha-Community.org.
adblock would have to block the entire facebook website to block these ads.
Another way to block the entire Facebook site is to do it at the firewall. Facebook has trackers, not just ads, present in a great many pages. The way to get them all is to get them at the firewall.
The best clown of a clown show is still a clown. Yet they got 48% of the popular vote. Seriously, what kind of victory did they throw away by not running a serious candidate? By running a serious candidate they could have had a major landslide.
and could potentially hurt the XBox brand as collateral damage
Xbox is still losing money. It broken even for a short while but has had only one break in it's long line of losing money. Yes, the brand could be hurt further, but not much.
They're also impossible to readjust and too easy to make too tight. They result in actual physical damage including nerve damage when left too tight. Only real assholes use them instead of cuffs.
It would have cost them more if you had not bought it at all. You helped the recover some of the costs, whereas if it were allowed to sit on the shelf they would have lost all of it.
Surface could be a failure like Xbox or it could be a complete disaster like the Kin.
FTFY. There is no call to try to paint the Xbox as anything other than a money-loser. It has lost money in recent quarters to add to the historical losses. It may be the darling of advertisers and M$ boosters, but was only in the black a short part of its life and has now returned to being in the red.
Moving into hardware is a bold move for M$, but it's an area that the have not proven themselves in. It's also an area where the are as likely to anger partners as not.

Here's two: Citadel and Kolab
Among other things, Kolab is a product of a series of contracts for the federal office for Security in the Information Technology in the German Government, though both are quite secure.

How will your business model change if Linux became dominant on desktops as it has for tablets?
That's because Microsoft is Estimated to Spend $1.5 Billion on Windows 8 Marketing. $1.5 billion will buy a lot of praise from say-for-pay pundits, astroturfers and shills. There will also be a small percentage of the mainstream public that will get pulled along.

If race and gender don't matter then why was the event cancelled because of both?
Actually that is Gigabit ethernet, something their products have had for a decade. Can't say the same about most low-end competition yet.

There were several really good ones, but the tessellation really was nice to look at.
