Sounds like something you should be dictating to them not asking them for thier opinion. Unless the developer has actually needed to use use things like PGP etc, he probably has never thought of it.
I think a better question is, We will be transmitting confidential/sensitive information, which means you will use PGP(whatever) are you ok with that? etc.
Knowing Ubuntu it can take months... at least not till the next release. If you want the latest on some apps you just have to forgoe the standard distibution repository and either add in the program specicic PPA or install it manually. Its not really THAT hard, once you have done it a couple times its not much extra bother.
I think part of that is the rural areas have virtually nothing, so as they are just getting broadband they are getting a newer infrastructure as a starting point.
Then agin in rural areas where only cable and sattelite or just only satellite is feasable those guys get gouged pretty good.
Same here, my teachers were a bit smarter, giving us challenges - (this was early 80s) Write a TicTac Toe game, do a demo, heres a schools' competition to write a water conversation program,etc. We wrote some programs for the schools as well my brother was doing some list programs like library overdue list, I did some simple CAD extensions, etc.
Combine the technology hypersonic deployment with drone capabilities at the destination, could be pretty powerful,
I was just thinking if we had a hypersonic drone to quickly go on-site and do searches in emergencies like that recent asian air disaster, that could possibly save lives a lot faster than current methods.
Those surveyed were folks who still had thier jobs, and they are more productuive doing the work of multiple people thanks to computers. Let's get a little more balanced and see how email affected the folks who had jobs.
If you are in the tech sector, useful technology will usually make you more productive.
Microsoft wants more developers using thier tools. They are having a problem getting experienced ones onto thier platform, so they are now training inexperienced ones the Microsoft way.
I talked to a primary teacher this Thanksgiving (IIRC, 6th grade) about chromebooks in her class.. She loves it, kids do thier stuff in Google Docs can turn it in electronically, etc. Reports are done as presentations, so in part it is reducing a lot of paper...
Though I wonder what the long term cost for society will be. Possible dependency on on-line services?
This, Just 'categories'?? really? How about a level or two of additional sub-categories, so when people are looking for say a graphics program they could go to productivity->graphics->cad..
My mates and I had to wire the core logic for each operation using barbed wire and hand tooled relays that we had to build in metal shop. I'll tell you, laddie, we smashed many a finger just to resolve 2 + 2 = 5 - but back then it was close enough.

Did it all the time; going from memory...
I go for the dead simple, zip up all the files from the source
Run a phone wire between the computerers, with the terminal call one from one (IIRC you have to disable dialtone check use ATX3 then ATD555)
and on the other manual answer (ATA)
you migh have to do half duplex (local echo) on the terminals IIR this was the quickest route for no fuss local communication
once connected use the upload/download options on the terminals to start the file trnasfer
then look on it in a few hours, it will just churn away till it's finished.
It may be slow but it will complete as expected, and there is no special hardware, program or data cost.
look at the bottom of this article on my machine to machine notes -

The name "Microsoft" on the app.
Teachnically the "have access to" 25mb down. It may not be affordable, but it's there.
For those that want to look at the pretty pictures:

I think the ability to theme with firefox color themes is intrigueing.

Both firefox and chrome seem to choke on tiff images... :-/

(sarcasm) "easy and fast access to medical information", why dont you just throw in inexpensive there while you are at it.(/sarcasm)
We are talking about the US private health care industry, right?
I think some ultimate Dance Dance Revolution would make an interesting olymic event. Singles and in groups.
How about this idea:

You seem to have some sort of mental illness, comrade, the Department of Love will be by soon to correct you illness.
What they could have done though is make the shell unique... like maybe trying out a dempled shall ala mythbusters

No 3d printing for such experimentation is aprobbaly a best use for the method.

Trade in a real computer for "store credit" towards an overpriced model of a POS tablet no one wants...
Something before the macrovision chip with 4+ heads... Though Im not sure if the heads affect playback...
