You want an N900 or its successor, the Neo900 (which is basically a community-developed board designed to go into an N900 case with a faster CPU, better cellular modem and some other hardware improvements) Runs full linux (including X) and is close to the most hackable phone available.
N900 is available now if you look online for a second hand model and Neo900 is currently at the advanced prototype stage.
At the last few airports I flew out of, they have one way doors designed to stop anyone walking the wrong way back into the secured area (the only way into the secured area is through the security screening) Why Sydney doesn't have the same thing baffles me.
Except that Windows probably has just as many holes only you dont know about them because they aren't public or because Microsoft has decided not to invest the engineering resources to fix them or because Microsoft has fixed them in a patch but the actual security flaw is still unknown publicly.
At least with Linux, if a security hole is found (and made public or released to experts in the security community or to the relavent developers or whatever), the number of people who are able to investigate and fix the hole (and make official or unofficial fixes available) is (in most cases) significantly larger than the number of people who would e able to deal with issues in Microsoft code. And the Linux guys can have patches out much faster (and they can get into distros fairly fast too)
They only need a very small amount of actual unchangeable memory. Do it like Microsoft did on the XBOX 360 and have fusible links on-die on the GPU, when the card is manufactured, the fusible links are blown to store the ID of which GPU it is in a way that cant later be altered.
In some areas of the US (especially the south eastern states where cheap dirty coal rains supreme) state governments have banned the kind of solar fiance schemes and loans that have allowed people in the west or in the north east to get solar panels on their home without the huge up-front cost. Yes the solar company makes money from the deal but the home owner still comes out on top in that they aren't paying anywhere near as much in power bills.
Also utilities have attempted to restrict (and in numerous cases succeeded in restricting) the amount of power allowed into the grid from small scale generation (including grid-tie solar) or have reduced or eliminated feed-in tariffs in way that make solar less viable.
Plus there are cases of outright bans on some kinds of solar setups (I cant find a cite right now but there have been cases where people have wanted to install solar panels and a battery bank or whatever and completly disconnect from grid power but have been prohibited from doing so by state and local laws)
The real problem is that the airlines switched from having a few flights a day between point a and point b using medium sized or large aircraft to having more flights per day using smaller aircraft. Reverse that and you wont have anywhere near as much of a problem (especially if the airlines have an incentive to use larger planes as demand grows rather than adding more flights)
The right answer for water (and electricity and piped gas and other utilities like that) is for the company to charge a fixed cost (that covers the cost of running the systems and maintaining the infrastructure) and then a per-unit cost on top of that for the actual usage. That way everyone pays based on their usage of the infrastructure and how much water they actually use.
I ran Gentoo on a Pentium 4 for a while and compiling KDE without CUPS was definatly possible. Although it could take the best part of a week to run a full emerge pass if certain really big packages were all updated at once.
Although the ISPs like to talk about bandwidth costs and such the REAL reason the ISPs are doing what they are doing is because it helps suppress alternatives to the overpriced pay TV service said ISPs offer.
Here in Australia I see many stalls in shopping centers that can do phone repairs (as long as those phone repairs consist of replacing the screen on an iDevice or occasionally popular Android devices like the Galaxy S). But their primary business is selling overpriced cases/covers/screen protectors/etc/etc/etc for iDevices and sometimes Android phones.
Blame the high cost of maintaining (and upgrading) the poles and wires used to get the electricity from where its generated to where its used. (and the need to engineer that infrastructure to handle the highest possible forecast demand)
I have also seen/heard of circumstances where "doing the minimum to keep the thing working" is allowed but actually improving the code is not because improving the code counts as "new work" and comes from a different budget than maintanence. Seems stupid but that's how some shops operate.
The biggest problem with the YB49 flying wing is that it was very unstable (leading to crashes and things). The Northrup Grumman B2 Spirit bomber has sophisticated computer systems to make it stable and flyable, something not possible in the days of the YB49
Probably because I dont have a landline phone and scammers (and telemarketers for that matter) dont call on Australian mobiles because it costs them too much.
Hacker spaces have gotten all manner of expensive-when-new gear from all sorts of places (usually because the company that owns it has bought a new gadget and is tossing out the old one or someone has gone out of business and the liquidators are having a fire sale to sell everything off as fast as possible). Electron microscopes. Mass spectrometers. Pick & Place machines. Robot arms. High-end electronic test gear. And more.
Its not unrealistic to think that a hacker space or individual could get their hands on used bio-science gear in much the same way.
Back in high school I used to play (and write) games on my Casio CFX-9850G (in the crappy internal "basic" type language). I know the games you can do on the TIs (especially if you are programming in z80 ASM) are far better.
That's assuming you can actually find a desktop board that supports the Haswel-E/Devils Canyon CPUs the OP wants AND is supported by Coreboot. A read of the Coreboot compatibility list shows not a single supported desktop board that can run anything Intel past a Pentium 3 (there are laptops/embedded/dev boards that can run something newer but no full-on desktop boards)
+1 for this, my current motherboard is an Intel and if I had the money I would upgrade to a Core series chip (instead of the Core 2 Duo I have now) with an Intel board.
I am in Australia and have Visa PayWave attached to my card yet I never use it (using EFTPOS instead) because there are fees attached to PayWave but not EFTPOS (with my bank at least) and because EFTPOS transactions show up faster and better on my online banking.
Not sure where I read it but I believe part of why Broadcom is so secretive when it comes to their SoCs and things is that a lot of their market is (or was) for SoCs used in things like cable TV set-top boxes. Keeping things secret from the public at large makes it harder for hackers to figure out how their chips work so they can hack the firmware of these cable TV boxes and things.
If you are the IT director of a big corporation, you have no option but to MITM SSL traffic. The alternative is providing a perfect way for malicious insiders to steal corporate secrets (like a whole pile of credit card numbers or the blueprints/source code for the companies latest products). And providing a vector for malware or attacks to bypass all the edge-level intrusion detection systems.
And providing a way for the people on the inside to access things that they shouldn't (whether its pornography, pirated content, or anything else). That last one is even more important in, say, a school or educational environment or library than in a corporate network.
Its not just Japan, France and many other countries seem to have laws that limit discounting of books or fix their prices. Why do governments continue to maintain these restrictions?

Yes please, I would comment on so many videos if I didn't need to go G+ to do it.
Yeah I never installed OO on that machine (for exactly that reason)

Except that the proxy server will have to MITM SSL for it to work.
