This illustrates the poor review. Some of these are already in Debian/testing (Sun JVM, MS corefonts (Adobe flash is in unstable)) or in a repository already included in his sources.list (mp3,ms codecs, some minimal realplayer support and libdvdcss).
Now why anyone would want to use Adobe's Acroread instead of kpdf/xpdf I can't imagine.
You obviously didn't RTFA I linked to. There were incompatibilities with the draft GPL3, so there are possible incompatibilities between the DFSF and a final version of GPL3.
I'm not using it myself but have seen some funny false positives (screenshots of directory listings by windows morons), so you might want to lower the score.
Some non religious definitions of devil according to webster: 3 a : an extremely wicked person : FIEND b archaic : a great evil 4 : a person of notable energy, recklessness, and dashing spirit; also : one who is mischievous
The word devil is commonly used like above, it is you who, for some reason, makes a link between the world devil to a persona commonly called The Devil in various religions.
And if you think that western governments, who officially have religion and politcis seperated, are free from strong religious influences: guess again. eg the only arguments against gay mariage I heard is always linked to the bible. And an other example are the laws for special interests schools, somehow christian schools are no problem, but try run an islamic school and all hell breaks loose (hell is not used as a religious term here).
It's like Human rights, it should apply to anyone regardless of their citizenship.
See the debates about China, suddenly they should have the rights to be free in their own country like eg. americans are in the US. But a chinese citizen in the US has less rights when exposes to the "legal" system to defend himself.
Sure, but setting mount count and days between to 0 makes sure you don't have unwanted fscks.
Corruption can happen on any filesystem, in my cases so far always due to some bad hardware (or its setup). I have lost data on XFS and reiser (though it has been many years since I used the latter). I can't remember when and if I lost data on ext3, but that's because I only use it for small, nearly static filesystems (such as/).
If recovery is of the essence I guess the recovery tools are the most important reason to choose a f.s. (second to the frequency of corruption offcourse). I'm no expert but I'm under the impression that ext2/3 excels in that area.
"Do people really think that the volume of spam received will increase that much?"
Only if Spamhaus is used as the only filtering method. Any decent ISP will have alternatives. Personally I use Spamhaus as the first filtering rule, second in line is greylisting, then clamav and last spamassassin.
95% of all incoming connections to my MTA don't get past greylisting (stupid zombies). Spamassassin catches nearly all spam that was left (also checking sender in a couple dns blacklists).
Without spamhaus the only thing that will happen is that there is a little more mail will be passed to spamassassin and spam formerly in spamhaus will get a lower score (about 1 point in SA 3.0.x).
So what YOU can't see doesn't exist? My limited experience with NT servers showed me some rock solid machines, but also machines that needed scheduled reboots to avoid unpredictable lockups (similar machines with similar tasks).
But from the small sample of machine I have personally seen, I can tell that the latter category was bigger.
"See the switch in argument? From "copper > fiber" in the title (and other locations within the article to boot) to "copper*50 > fiber*1". I'm sure if I bundle 10,000,000 twisted pairs then I can out-bandwidth a single fiber any day, but does that mean I should say copper is faster than fiber?"
That was my first thought, but then I remembered the diameter of fibre optic cable coming into my house. The outer diameter for a 2 FO line cable is about the same as 4 cat5 cables (16 wire pairs) combined. Strip away the mantel and I guess 24 wirepairs might fit.
Sure 1 FO line is much smaller then 1 copper wire, but it is very brittle (hence all the extra protection).
I guess for the "last mile" to the customer a bunch of copper wires might actually be more cost effective per Mpbs. For the backbone a fo bundle easily beats a copper bundle.
Apparently my fiber optic provider uses this scheme, I pay for a 10Mpbs connection but for some reason the actual total speed maxes out at 25Mpbs. You don't hear me complaining though.
I guess I'm spoiled with a banking system that actually cooperates with other banks so ATM machines are plenty and compatible at no costs (CC are not) and being able to pay in any shop with your ATM card (kind of like a debitcard).
Since when is the UK part of Europe? But your observation about japanse ATM might be because, atleast IMHO when I last visited Japan 10 years ago), the banking system was a fragmented mess.

But is Novell the only distro that will be stuck with the old GPL2 versions of relicensed GPL3 software?
/ 2135222 mentioned that there are possible incompatibilities between the DFSF and GPL3. Have they been resolved?

"Why, oh why, didn't Phil just call them "encoders" and "decoders?"
Would that be because the "encoder" used for encryption is the "decoder" used for signing?
There is a spamassassin plugin against this type of spam:

One word: Hypocracy.

1) Is there any console that come on the market that allowed this? Maybe Sony will make the same move in the future like MS made not so long ago.
2) Please ask the manifacturer of the xbox360 for specs and how to get Linux running and report back here. You would make many people happy.

Now this is very informative :)

"Schnell!" is the german word for please.

Well, XFS was good enough for me. I only keep ext around for small (root) filesystems (hysterical reasons).
'man tune2fs' is your friend

workaround: see 'man mke2fs'

"Apparently, even if you *want* certain emails, you can have a hard time receiving them."
Then one would simply stop using Spamhaus to block mail and use it to insert warning headers instead (or completely stop querying it).
All this whining about providers using block lists simply shows that email is to important to leave full controls to others.
Stop whining and move to a decent provider that lets YOU choose what happens to you email.
If you had bothered to take a look at noscript you would have found the whitelisting feature for trusted hosts.
Let me rephrase:
nobody we know or care about.
