I buy the "decentralized" part, but regarding the non-US part: rojadirecta.com has been registered with godaddy.com (a US company for all that I know) since 2005. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I assume that they could have used a non-US registrar, and further assume that that would have made it more difficult to seize the domain.
Mod me redundant as this has been said already, but this is my personal strategy:
1. Cull photos. If you do serial shots take time before the 1st backup to delete the duplicates. Also, be strict to remove all shots that are not perfect technically, unless their composition or motive is really outstanding.
2. Tag photos. No point in having an archive of 20000 pictures if you can't find them.
3. Back up. As said elsewhere, external disks are cheap. Make sure you have multiple backup disks, and store them physically separate.
4. Use online services. A Flickr pro account is $25/year and allows you unlimited uploads. Backup everything to Flickr as private pictures in the original resolution, then share what you want via guest passes. It may take hours or days to upload a batch of photos, just let the computer do it overnight.
That was my thought as well - there were those stories that not even MS Office supported OOXML completely (that talk about no existing reference implementation).
I guess Australia will go back to typewriters and ledgers...
I noticed on a recent transatlantic Delta flight that the fasten seatbelts lights were on all the time, but nobody seemed to care and the flight attendants certainly didn't enforce it. Or, are you saying that in the 7.5h on your flight nobody went to the restroom.
The baggage fees and nickling&diming for food are indefensible, but it seems they are standard practice in the airline industry these days.
I'd love to see an airline that treats their passengers better, but AFAIK all the major U.S. carriers are equally unfriendly.
I think Google won't prevent you from manufacturing and selling a completely open Android-based handset, but they also won't prevent a vendor from locking it down.
Looks like Android is more like "BSD-open" than "GPLv3-open".

reStructuredText reminds of the markup used by various Wikis... while it's far easier to type than anything related to XML, it's also far more limited.
Oh, and just to establish my credentials.. I'm a hardware engineer at a major cell phone chip company. I've built CDMA and UMTS base stations.
Not intending to troll, just testing my understanding: since UMTS is 3G and all of 3G is CDMA, isn't the last statement somewhat redundant, as in "I've used computers and Macs"?
I second the recommendation for zoneedit. I found them a few years back when Yahoo small business had a "$5 for 5 years" name registration offer and I needed cheap DNS service.
AFAIK, it's a project to create an OS that is compatible with Maemo but entirely based on Free Software. One of the goals (IIRC) is to allow running programs using the Freemantle APIs on the semi-abandoned N800s and N810s.
The german magazine c't ran an article recently about how it is possible to rack up charges on a prepaid card, and they explicitly mentioned international roaming charges.
You can reverse the charge within a 6-8 week timeframe with no questions asked, which then puts the burden on the merchant to prove that the charge was legit.
would be to be hired as an intern by the local office of a US tech company, and negotiate to spend time of it on a "business trip" in their home office.
Assuming your home country participates in the Visa waiver program and my memory is correct, you should be able to stay for 3 months.
I've been using the non-GPL version since before Sun acquired them to run XP-only work software under Linux on an 1.5GHz Athlon, with decent performance.
The weird thing is that the boot time for XP in the virtual machine is shorter than on the real one.
According to the article, not all of the JDK is Free Software - it mentions e.g. audio codecs and font rasterizers, for which Sun does not won the copyrights.
OpenJDK plans to provide GPL'd equivalents for these APIs.

Is this really specific to American Airlines?

Somebody please mod parent up!

In essence, what he seems to have done is open the chip to extract the keys (or data that allowed computing the keys).

I own a Motorola Cliq (and like it BTW), and noticed that many all of the ringtone files have a .ogg suffix.
The linked article talks about magnetic (not EM) fields at 60 Hz. Looks like it would relate more to the power grid than to cell phones, if at all.

I don't disagree that (according to what I heard) Windows 7 is pretty good, but increasing Microsoft's market share?
That would mean that somebody would switch from OS X or Linux to Windows, wouldn't it?
I would think that most countries that companies do substantial business in have roughly comparable taxation laws.
At least, I haven't heard Japan being referred to as a tax haven.

You touch a valid point, but to my knowledge Puerto Rico does not pay federal taxes.
I thought it just was being an imprecise translation ... computer science being called "informatique" in french and "Informatik" in German ...

I may have had a cocktail too many, but doesn't 2^65025/2^41 equal 2^64984?

I saw a link in a forum earlier today: http://gizmopasswords.blogspot.com/
I thought companies like Apple or Palm already did this - an iPod shuffle is $79 everywhere for example.
Could somebody elaborate?
