Recent studies suggest that the size of cholesterol particles does have an effect on plaque buildup in individuals with high cholesterol. The study in this article shows that individuals with lower cholesterol, but smaller particles, are at a greater risk for heart disease.
Apparently, larger particles are less dense, and do not clump together as readily as smaller particles. I am not a doctor, and I don't play one on TV, so read more for yourself if you really want to understand it.
I just did a google search for lamp scapula and got 666 results. Obviously there is something inherently evil in lamp scapula. All good Christians should expunge any phrase that combines those two words from their vocabulary immediately.
While I agree with the DMCA issue, please understand that you are comparing apples and oranges.
Try doing alpha channels, and hexachrome separations from any MS product. You will find that for production work, Adobe products are the best, and pretty much the only, option.
I would love to see a competitor come along that could challenge Adobe, but for now, we are stuck. But, their products are decent, and get the job done very well, so things could be worse.
Limit bandwidth, but open ports. Many large P2P users consume significantly more bandwidth than many of the small sites I work on combined. Allow small organizations to host a website/email, and charge based on the amount of bandwidth used, not the types of service used on the connection.
If you don't want limits, allow unlimited bandwidth, with email warnings as you get closer to your quota. Overages will be charged per MB, similar to cell phone minutes.
While we are on the subject; Users with unpatched, infected boxes should also be warned and then bumped. My cable modem activity light has been solid for weeks now with the Blaster et al traffic.
As much as we would like to have it, bandwidth is not free.
providers would open all ports and allow us to run servers. I have argued since Charter took over from the failed Excite in my area that P2P utilizes far more bandwidth than I ever could with a web/mail server for my small business. So, make the heaviest users pay for what they use, whether they are hosting web/email, or pulling down the latest episode of $Your_Favorite_Show with $P2P_Client_Today.
I am not opposed to P2P software, but I think it is unfair that servers are not allowed while P2P consumes an increasing amount of bandwidth.
Riding high explosives into a hostile environment in the equivalent of a high tech tin can knowing that there is a chance that you could be killed fits your definition of hero pretty closely.
All it takes is one small problem, and the astronauts in the shuttle, as we have seen, perish. They may not have literally seen the bodies of those who went and died before them, but I assure you the astronauts were well aware of past losses.
We call them heroes because they knowingly took risks that most of us would not take. We call them heroes because they were killed pushing the envelope of human knowledge, hoping to benefit all of mankind. While I agree that someone killed in the sad happenstance of everyday life should not be slapped with the label of "hero", the men and women of STS-107 are worthy.
How many people own a $4-5k (or more) camera? The models you list are wonderful for professional photographers and studios, but don't slam the average user for not being able to afford pro gear. Current consumer devices take relatively good photos. Still not as good as a hobbyist with a midlevel analog camera can do.
Most importantly, not many consumer level output devices can print photos as well as film. I have seen some really nice photo prints from digital but, on the average, still not as good as well developed film.

Before everyone gets on their soapbox about the value of nodes/individuals to a network, let's find out what Reed means by value.
A quick Google give us this http://www.reed.com/Papers/GFN/reedslaw.html article. He defines value as
"the value of potential connectivity for transactions. That is, for any particular access point (user), what is the number of different access points (users) that can be connected or reached for a transaction when the need arises."
Using his definition of "value", it is possible to defend his position. Additional nodes on a network can increase the overall connectivity value of the network.That does not necessarily make the network more valuable in an informational, social or monetary sense to any individual inside or outside of the group.
Just because end users don't see the spam doesn't mean there isn't a cost. How much time is spent creating software to combat spam? How many hours do admins spend dealing with spam before it even reaches users? How much time do users have to spend circumventing anti-spam filters to send/receive legitimate email?
These are just a few of the obvious costs related to keeping spam out of user mailboxes. It would probably boggle the mind to know the actual cost of keeping spam out of Suzy or Sammy Secretary's mailbox.

Crossover Office offers support for Dreamweaver under Linux. This page has a list of software supported; and for $60, I think its worth it.
I am beginning a migration toward Linux on my desktop full-time as well, and Crossover Office is the one tool that will make it possible.

As has been stated here before, many of the recent MS issues have been patched for quite a while. Most Windows users simply don't keep up to date.
/.er, but let's be honest in our criticism, and not just howl as loud as we can about how awful everything MS is.
I love MS as much as the next
