The cost of monitoring, administering, taking action and fielding the incoming support calls from irate customers who have had their service suspended is probably more than simply capping bandwidth and charging for over runs.
I think you are confusing all muslims with fundamentalists. The virgins in heaven dogma exists in extreme sects just like some white supremists groups are sects of christianity. Painting everyone with such broad strokes spoils the painting.
Will Iran make nuclear weapons? Only time will tell. It's hard to justify who can and can't have such weapons when the palying field is so uneven. Why can some countries have them and some not? Why are some nations on a treaty and some not? The world would likely be a better place if no one had nuclear weapons. Howerver, you can't have countries with weapons telling those without that they can never have them.
If I had to use applications owned by Microsoft, accessing them via a browser agnostic website could be very useful. I could work with a UNIX based computer yet still have access to applications like Visio.

Xwindows is one of those nice things that just work. With such dependabilty it is all that important the we get our instant gratification with superficial features like transparent windows? The X.org group made great strides after the fork from XFree86. Can we really expect them to keep that pace?
This is a very narrow view of gaming. There is more to success than graphics. Themes, genres, plot, interface and repeat playing all affect how popular a game can be. While most of these points are available on any platform the PC still has an edge on interface. Keyboards, mice and flightsticks all offer a more advance UI than thumb levers.
I don't wholly disagree with you. There are certainly some incompetent IT people in the world. There are incompetent people in all fields. I would say however that there is another side this story.
Installing requested software from IT's point of view has some implications. Many organizations take software licensing costs from the IT budget and not the budget of the department that actually uses the software. That added cost may take money away from infrastructure needs that will affect all employees. There is also the cost of support. If IT is not familiar with the product they'll have to learn how to install and support it. These costs multiply because once one person installs a piece of software more are sure to follow. Suddenly your single request has ballooned to 5 or 100 requests along with the accompanying costs.
However, IT should be sensitive to your needs. They may be unable to offer you the software you requested for the above reasons or perhaps policy reasons which they do not control. IT should however be able to offer you alternative products or a avenue to follow within the organization that may create changes in the adversarial policy.
Why not MMORPG flight sims. You character 'Ace' gains abilities personally and gains money to improve his flying machine. This could fit into many genres from 1914, future space craft or known sci-fi settings.

Actually, it depends upon the SSH protocol. Both Debian and Cygwin have this to say:
-c cipher_spec
Selects the cipher specification for encrypting the session.
Protocol version 1 allows specification of a single cipher. The
supported values are "3des", "blowfish", and
"des". 3des (triple-des) is an encrypt-decrypt-encrypt
triple with three different keys. It is believed to be secure.
blowfish is a fast block cipher; it appears very secure and is
much faster than 3des. des is only supported in the ssh client
for interoperability with legacy protocol 1 implementations that
do not support the 3des cipher. Its use is strongly
discouraged due to cryptographic weaknesses. The default
is "3des".
For protocol version 2, cipher_spec is a comma-separated list of
ciphers listed in order of preference. The supported ciphers are:
3des-cbc, aes128-cbc, aes192-cbc, aes256-cbc, aes128-ctr,
aes192-ctr, aes256-ctr, arc
four128, arcfour256, arcfour, blowfish-cbc, and cast128-cbc. The default is:
Charge me for bandwidth usage or charge me true unlimited bandwidth usage. I think that either method could be accetaple provided there was no throttling, blocking or hidden charges or caps.
Why does this have to be about the stats and the body count? Why can't it be about the character and the 'flavour'? Paladin: A charismatic holy warrior. The type of figure that followers will flock to. Hirelings will beg to offer their services, perhaps even at discount. A paladin is the prefect choice for a sheriff, a judge or a high justice. With so many opportunities for role play who cares how many bodies he can stack up in a single round?
Don't forget about the other half of this power structure. Look after your subordinates. Talk a page from the military leadership book. Always protect your people. Respect and loyalty are earned. If you earn that, your people will make you look good. When they do, remember to reward them for it.

Nuclear waste is not really waste. It simply needs to be used in a different reactor. Storing this waste and doing nothing with it is really a waste.
