Jerry Pournelle commented on Roswell recently: http://www.jerrypournelle.com/mail/mail473.html#Ro swell.
Pournelle says that because he was involved with the USAF Project 75 technology survey, he would have had access to any information that could have helped with defense planning. He originally suspected that the USAF had dropped a nuke that didn't exploded ("laid an egg" as he puts it) near Roswell.
The Pre-first-boot Vista Business Ghost v11 images I've taken from Dell OptiPlex 745s, Latitude D620s and D531s are all well over 3 GB. This is with Ghost compression set to the max (-z9). Ghost v11 images from installed systems with Office 2003, a few utilities and one user profile are nearly 5 GB. If anything, the quotes in the article understate the image rollout issue.
From the article: "The massive population growth will mean the Middle East, and to a lesser extent north Africa, will remain highly unstable, says the report."
Spengler from Asia Times has repeatedly argued that Middle Eastern countries face a different type of population problem, namely a large increase of the number aged. For example, Spengler says that "although the Muslim birth rate today is the world's second highest (after sub-Saharan Africa), it is falling faster than the birth rate of any other culture."
Maybe there isn't as much useful information as the writers of the Act assumed was available. Libraries that I know something about have taken steps to prevent archiving data about patrons that could be the subject of a Section 215 request.
Anyone else notice a big increase in the number of browser parasite problems in the past six months or so? Sure, adware/malware/spyware has been around for while, but in 2003 it became pervasive.
Its probably no coincidence that when Pop-up blocking tools became very popular that more companies turned to parasites to deliver their messages.

And Eternity in an hour.

But this extension for XP is really about OEMs needing to sell their basic systems. On those computers, Windows XP runs very nicely. Vista doesn't.
When a basic PC comes with 2 GB of RAM, vendors will happily load Vista.
