never let your computer touch a network or another person's hands. He has no wireless card, never plugs an ethernet cord into the slot, and never gives his compy to anyone else.
I wonder what it must be like to be as paranoid as him?
And seriously - at what point does a computer lose its usefulness - for me, it's pretty much when it has no network connectivity. I'm at a loss when I'm on a machine with no connectivity. It's like it isn't much use for anything.

Meh. I hacked his computer twice. Once over Bluetooth, and then again over Infrared. All I found were secret plans of his to dominate the world - nothing unusual.
Remember, if the staff at Chernobyl had actually followed their procedures and hadn't been conducting a test with improper staffing, the accident never would have happened. And in the case of TMI, if the indicator lamp in the control room had indicated valve position, rather than the presence of power across the actuator solenoid, the operators would have known the valve was stuck open and been aware that they were facing a loss of coolant.
Do you see the problem there? Things that never should have happened happened. People suck. Don't build stuff that relies on people not being stupid, corrupt, or lazy.
FWIW though, I'm for nuclear power. And also, from what I read about Thorium (watched Google videos actually) it looks very good.
Linux + GRSec (or SELinux) can. Assuming they don't know the password/mechanism to enter the "unlocked" mode. There used to be a Gentoo SELinux box on the net - selinux.dev.gentoo.org, I think it was. They published the root password, and let you log in. It was funny to watch all the skiddies on there, copying their rootkits down. I wish I could have sent a wall to them all - "You're already root - stop that!".

in Postfix's main.cf will get rid of about 97% of spam attempts (made up number). Of course, if you expect mail from those countries, you'll have to allow them.
That's quite a nice idea. However, it's the receiving that's hard. I can send at a fairly high rate with low errors, but I need a gap of a second between characters to give my brain time to receive.
Or you could use Debian and accept that your distribution hasn't been compiled with -Oevery silly little option for a fraction% improvement.
This might surprise you, but I actually don't use Debian because I don't like it, not because it "hasn't been compiled with -Oevery silly little option for a fraction% improvement".
Re:self-compiling not such a black/white matter

OpenSolaris Or FreeBSD?

There needs to be a Gentoo Stable version of Gentoo, where packages update very infrequently, but people test the ebuilds to make sure that they work even if you're not updating from the version that was issued 15 minutes ago.

Well, I'm a little tubby (and brown) after a month long holiday in South America, that there's one more to balance your list of thinnies out. :)

Yep. That's why the Baseball World Cup is so massive.

Erg. JSON. Hope you appreciate this effort, Charles. :)
Do you speak JSON?
You'll be paying a female to wear latex, kick you around a bit, and tell you how worthless you are in a few years.

There are lots of digital modes in Amateur radio though - some work very well over bad quality "links". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radioteletype

Wow! What kind of pipe do you have?
A really short one?
That should have been a K on the end, rather than an R!

It's awkward typing Morse.
