Teksavvy have been offering MLPPP as an addon service for a while; it allows their subscribers to evade Bell's throttling. There's even a fork of the Tomato firmware dedicated for this. And a friend told me that one of their customer service reps said you can work around Rogers' throttling using this modem. Just opt for ISPs that aren't Bell or Rogers.

I don't know, I checked out the image in the article and to me it just looks like everything looked pretty grey and dreary in 1921 whereas 2010 is cleary super awesome and colourful. Thank.. you climate change?
It depends on what you expect to do in your living room. I have a really old Mini hooked up to a TV which is on pretty much all the time. Besides playing movies and streaming videos it runs Transmission, OpenVPN, shares files using NFS, and hosts some unimportant personal web apps. All that with it taking up hardly any space and not generating noticeable heat or noise - seems like a pretty good deal for $700.
You don't have to pay for their geniuses to upgrade your hardware if your warranty is up. Buy the ram, hard drive, or optical drive from wherever and do it yourself. I had to do a ram and hard drive upgrade, took about an hour to finish. And I'm pretty sure the standard warranty they provide you lasts for one year, not one month.
My Macbook's fan kicks in when viewing this HTML5 demo for more than 5 or 10 minutes http://9elements.com/io/projects/html5/canvas/ Adobe does have a lot of work to do where Flash is concerned but from what I've read I get the impression that Apple doesn't seem to be as eager to work with them as Microsoft has been.
I was in the same boat and made multiple attempts to learn to type the "right way". My last, and successful, attempt involved this www.typingmaster.com software (although any decent alternative would work) and lots of discipline. I made sure I spent at least an hour everyday learning and doing the drills, and then resisted the urge to go back to my old way of typing while not doing the drills. Now I'm doing great in life and gained an extra inch.
That's not to say Adobe shouldn't be working harder on the Flash runtime; they should probably stop with the new features for one or two releases and focus primarily on performance issues. But I'll still take them over Microsoft and Silvelight.
And despite what a lot of people are yelling right now (after Apple decided to leave Flash out of the iPad) you can't replace Flash with HTML5/JavaScript, at least not yet.
A standard still in draft
No consistent way of playing video on all browsers without still falling back to Flash on IE, Firefox (and Opera?)

The reasons you mention for using Trac apply to Redmine as well since it's basically a Trac alternative. And it lets you manage multiple projects as well.
I know you're just replying to the original post but IMO the real benefit of using FreeBSD ports (over binary packages like debs or rpms) is less about performance optimization and more about tailoring the features. For example if you wanted LDAP authentication support for the latest version of PostgreSQL you could provide that option to make and then the port installation results in your new package with the feature you wanted. You end up using the OS's package management tools to maintain the software with all the extra options you require. Now with Debian or RHEL if you wanted that same feature and the package maintainer didn't compile that in then you have to download the source and do it yourself. This is fine if you don't mind that, or if you have time to commit to that, or if you're only customizing a few packages but otherwise it can become unwieldy. Sure you could write your own scripts to maintain a build environment for all these different packages with extra features but it's so much easier and cleaner with Ports.
I would love to be able to use a small Linux base installation with binary updates - for example Debian with APT. But then I want to use something like FreeBSD ports to maintain all the extra software I install. This is why I enjoy using macports. I upgrade the base OS with Apple's tools but all the juicy bits like nginx, postgresql, etc are managed by macports. If Debian had a way of making FreeBSD ports work like that then one could still get pretty decent hardware support and not have to deal with ancient versions of packages.
P.S. I'm aware of NetBSD's pkgsrc and Gentoo. Neither of which feel right to me.
Having done some multiprogramming, I have to tell that it is really an end-user technology. Less a tool for developer.
With GDC that all now is much easier. Available CPU resources are presented to applications in a fashion of real-time batch queue. One doesn't need to configure thread pools per application anymore.
I'm so glad GDC is available for general use. I can't count the amount of times I've had to help my grandma configure thread pools for each app. She's totally gonna dig 10.6 now that her multicore computing issues have been addressed and on top of that, she can easily download printer drivers too.

So climate change is allowing us to emit less carbon. Just think of the other magical ways the planet will fix itself if we emit even more carbon! I'm totally gonna burn a second tire when I get home tonight.

You can do something similar with Amazon Web Services and/or Eucalyptus.

Eset Nod32 has been great in my experience. It's lightweight and seems to use fewer resources than McAfee or Norton products.
Unless the bull is into it. In which case, oh my.

Nicely done.
If you live in Canada and this didn't piss you off enough then there's always this you can use to fuel your rage.
Why you would want Flash taking up space in real life or on your phone is beyond me.

I'd say, yes... but not.
Let's have a look about how Trac fits the bill:
