google.com would be blocked by the Great Firewall of China. They would have to work around that to reach it. Which could be life-threatening.
And I wouldn't be too surprised if Chinese IP addresses were routed to a different google.cn than non-chinese addresses (so that we can't see what's being censored too easily.
To quickly invert all screen colours (so you read white text on a black background), press command+ctrl+option+8 . Same key combo to change back. This can be good for a change, and gives you the black background to text editors/websites that others were suggesting.
Please don't forget another, probably much larger group of the population. This group, with or without police, will behave themselves. However, if you starve them, destroy their homes, kill their friends and family, then they will go nuts.
The disaster is not necessarily revealing the dark heart of human nature, but is perverting human nature into ugliness.
We have a new government, the Liberals (a misnomer - they're the equivalent to the Republicans) who have control of both houses of parliament (which has only happened once before to any party). This is a free pass to do whatever they want for the next three years, short of changing the constitution. Our Governor-General (read: powerless president) was appointed by the current Prime Minister.
Already, after a week with control of our senate, they are giving the opposition the finger. That is why there is news coming out of Australia. These three years will be fun...
Given enough data, it should be reasonably straightforward to decrypt ASCII text.
During WWII America used Native American communicators speaking a language without a known root as a "natural encryption". It took a while for the Japanese to crack, but i think it was cracked eventually.
I'd expect retrieving unobfuscated text to be no different. From there an "archeologist" could glean small "rosetta stones" such as "bitmap photos", "listen to those mp3's" and perhaps slowly reconstruct our formats.
Anyone taking notes on paper would not enjoy copying off a board that you drag stuff around on. I find it fun enough when a lecturer augments a flow chart on an ordinary blackboard.
The CSIRO (or ANU, can't remember) developed SYNROC, a safe material in which to store nuclear waste all the way back in 1978. It has been ignored by the US, because Australia has a patent on it. I spose companies decided that unlike public safety, wireless networking couldn't wait till the patent expired...
Konfabulator for 10.2 and presumably Windows has that problem of screen clutter, yes. But the big advantage of Dashboard is none of the widgets are actually on your screen until you press F12, and then you press F12 again and your screen is exactly as it was (i.e. no clutter).
The instant appearing and disappearing, and that the whole thing takes up no screen real estate during normal work are the useful factors. This can be done on 10.3 with Konfabulator and Exposé together.
But your point about the limited number of functions is absolutely valid. I only use Konfabulator for a countdown timer, weather and a random password generator. This will expand to a calculator when i get 10.4. The new thing for me will be that they appear easily and instantly.
The open source ripoffs of commercial products have made an improvement over the original - the ripoffs are open source.
When Microsoft rips off other products' features, the only improvement is that more people get to use those features.
Ripping off slogans, however just confuses the masses.

Do people really make millions, plural from spamming?

Actually most of it's written in C++ (IIRC, the FAQs are down), same as OpenOffice.org. Only the OS X specific bit's in Java.
Interesting...

Hey, at least this isn't a dupe. The names change with each switcher article, maybe the content will be next.
