I've found that demonstrating the fixing of broken Windows and Linux setups is very instructive to Windows admins. Windows with its wizards and GUI is easy to install and set up. But if anything breaks, you want open source so that you can drill down to the real source of the problem and fix it once and for all. Windows admins can't do that. When they watch me fix a Linux issue, they drool over the visibility into the system and long for the same power.
The last time I checked, theaters aren't run by government. So the first amendment doesn't apply. (On the other hand, the theaters (by way of the MPAA) are trying to take over the government.)
The limitations stated in the US Constitution are limits on government, not on private citizens. It may make sense to extend those limitations to corporations, though, since a corporation is a legal fiction created by government that grants special rights to its owners.
When excessive uploads interfere with other traffic, you need a traffic shaper. Linux users are in luck: It's built into the Linux kernel. You just have to enable it. Download the Wondershaper script, set a couple of variables at the top describing your connection, and run it to install the settings in the kernel. Once you have it set the way you like, run it from your boot script to automatically configure your kernel on restart.
Those using a consumer router based on Linux, such as the Linksys WRT54G, may find a way to run the Wondershaper on it. For instance, you can get replacement firmware for the WRT54G from Sveasoft that incorporates the Wondershaper. (Just turn on the QoS feature.)
I use the Sveasoft firmware and add a couple of iptables commands to put my UDP game traffic in the high-priority queue, so P2P uploads don't disturb my gaming. See the Sveasoft forums (registration and $20 required) for details. You'll also want to do this if you use UDP-based VOIP.
Can't you get skins that make the Linux desktops and apps look like Windows? You know, give it that Fisher-Price look of XP, with all the sharp corners rounded off so they can't poke their eyes out.
I don't know why I remain amazed that so many think the out-of-the-box look is so important to acceptance. But I continue to see screenshot reviews where reviewers whine about the drab look of the more-capable product.
Does FF have Moz's quickstart mechanism? The reason IE starts fast is that it's loaded with the OS, so it's already in memory when you click its icon. Do the same for FF and you take away IE's advantage.
(I use Moz, started when I log on, and never shut it down, so I never notice the first-time delay.)

This is why I dislike PHP. I often argue that new PHP versions break things. This is an example. While the same can hold true for all languages/software, i often find that open source projects are more likely to throw binary compatibility out the window..NET or Java are both better solutions because they can patch things WITHOUT breaking everything.
People often whine that Red Hat doesn't upgrade often enough and has too many patches in their RPM's. This is why. Taking a conservative approach, RH back-ports security changes to older releases rather than forcing users to upgrade to potentially incompatable new upstream versions.
Those who want to live on the bleeding edge are free to selectively build and install their own RPM's for the latest versions.
(Now if they'd just get some RPM's turned out to address this issue....)
They're trying to hold the people who write such apps liable for the criminal behavior of others. It's like suing Ford because a drunk driver killed your kid or suing Lorcin because some psychopath shot your wife.
Right! It's like suing a gun manufacturer for a hold-up. These tiny P2P programs are the spud guns of file sharing!
An argument based on cost is "bee reasoning", where only the health of the hive, not the individual, matters. Humans aren't bees; they act selfishly. When you supply a service by government the rules of public choice economics kick in.
I've nowhere seen you explain what incentive will maintain quality. Quality is something you can attach a price to.
You can use a tax to pay for the vouchers, but by supplying the actual service privately, you keep quality in the picture. It's the ability to not buy the service that ensures quality.
Except that you're all ignoring quality and the dynamic nature of markets, as well as variable pricing. Our current system, as reported by initial posters, has poor quality, because there's no effective short-path low-noise feedback from the consumer to the producer. (Audio people: Would you design a sound card this way?)
There's no reason you can't have multiple services with different qualities based on pricing. Higher prices for dependable, fast response service and an economy version for those on a budget. Supplied privately, a service would immediately see loss of customers if its quality didn't justify its price, forcing it to either cut prices or improve quality, or go out of business if the profit wasn't there.
Moreover, if the poor truly couldn't pay for even the lowest-priced service, the government could supply "911 vouchers", so that the service could still be privately supplied and maintain a reasonable quality feedback system.
There's absolutely no reason that the government needs to supply a monopoly service. That just insures that it will be run like the DMV.

A city is not a business. The goal of a business is to make money. The goal of a government is to serve the people. (Of course, in practice the government might acquire greedy people who wish to control the government for their own personal profits, but that's not what's supposed to happen.)
That's called a "fairy tale". Governments (which are really just gangs of hoodlums dressed in suits) are very clever at hiding their true nature behind claims of good intentions.
Governments, like businesses, are always manned by actual people with their own selfish motivations. The study of their motivations in a government context is called Public Choice Economics.
By recognizing that governments operate under the same motivations as businesses, you have a much better chance of predicting the outcome of a policy.
This is called "dark" space and it can be used as the last entry in a MX sequence so spammers who run MX sequences backwards have to time out the non-existent address before trying the next possible server.
Give the address a name and provide the name to your friends who run mail servers so that they can add it to the end of their MX list.
If you join the web channel and PM the webmaster with your email address, he'll add you to a list that will get notified when the Linux binaries hit the FTP site. He has a script monitoring Id's FTP server for the binaries that will email the list when they're detected.
If you connect to a listening port on the Internet, isn't it a service you're using, just like connecting to a web or mail server? Maybe we should all start using these "free servers" to store encrypted backups of our stuff!
(For the slow, that was intended to be tongue-in-cheek. Mostly.)
People, including families, who tune in the Superbowl, shouldn't be subjected to that sort of crap.
Yeah, I guess Superbowl fans weren't breast-fed as children and were thoroughly shocked and psychologically damaged by this unexpected view of a heretofore unknown and alien part of her anatomy.
Once you decide to set up a mail server, you'll probably want to add spam and virus scanning. Both are CPU- and memory-intensive. A consumer router probably won't have the horsepower for that. (I'm using MIMEDefang (a sendmail milter), SpamAssassin, and ClamAV on my box.
There are several Linux options for a WRT54G. Check out LinksysInfo.org. Some include the WonderShaper for prioritizing traffic like VOIP and game packets.

I guess this feature explains why it's so hard to port the server to Linux.
(The theory on the TW forums is that it's the cost of another Havok platform license that prevents a port.)
