Even my local city police force, while investigating a client of mine for a relatively minor infraction, used correct imaging techniques and procedures. To say that the FBI would probably screw this up when small town police districts know what to do is a little far fetched.

I can only assume you meant that sarcastically. That archaic and non-relevant book almost turned me away from CS. It was the worst textbook I encountered in college. I held on to several of my textbooks from college, but this one went in the trash.
What a joke. If Microsoft did this with Tiger, Mac fans would howl. Apple is just being sloppy, and the company obviously doesn't care very much about Windows users. PCs are shipping with Vista right now. Well, Microsoft still doesn't have a native version of Office for Intel Macs, and Intel Macs have been out for well over a year. I'd say that's roughly the same thing as what you just described.
Origen was villified because he was a univeralist. However, he would very much have defended the inerrancy of scripture. Most of his writing are on that very topic. See the wikipedia article on him for more info.
Actually, the word cretan does originate from the people of Crete. Even in the Bible, the apostle Paul mentions in the book of Titus that the Cretans have a bad repuation even among their own people.
Titus 1:1-16
#3 - NetFlix - never used it, and now, never will.
I'm one up on you there. I use it almost every month, but never pay for it. I just sign up for a new one-month trial each time the previous trial expires. So they're paying me to watch their movies.
... there are also a bunch of competing Linux distributions, some of which are completely free and will even offer many goodies for the enterprise customers (the new Ubuntu Dapper for ex.).
Sorry, but it is wishful thinking to say that even the most forward-thinking enterprise customers will have Ubuntu on their radar. You can't get the time of day in the enterprise without a well-known name and the ability to offer a support contract. Sorry to say, but Redhat and maybe SUSE are the only ones with a foot in the door.
Sorry to see you modded down, I thought that was pretty funny. I guess it went over the average Slashdotter's head.
It reminds me of another joke I heard on Slashdot that most people missed. The topic was about clean hydrogen-burning cars and how hydrogen could be more conveniently transported. Someone suggested a novel hydrogen transport method: long-chain hydrocarbons.
And has anyone tried sticking in a pre-release DVD of Windows Vista, holding down the D key, and seeing what happens?
I tried a few times to compose an answer to that question without being sarcastic, but I couldn't pull it off. In short, yea, pretty much everybody who has spent 2 seconds thinking about Windows on Mac has thought of this idea and/or tried it. I'll just point you to here, here, and here. I'm sorry to be pissy, but the forums where people are actually trying to work on this problem are so cluttered with this "novel" idea that it gets really annoying after a while.
So as not to be a complete rant, I'll explain why this doesn't currently work. The Mac uses the new UGA standard for video cards, and does not support VGA at all. Windows (even Vista) only supports VGA (or UGA with VGA fallback, which Mac doesn't have either). There are also drive partitioning issues, among other problems. Basically, any feature that Apple didn't need for booting MacOS was left out of the EFI, including BIOS-compatibility mode as you noted. No current PC hardware is so legacy-free. However, with a bit of massaging, the Vista install disc does boot, you just can't see anything on the screen. When Vista gets a real UGA driver, we should be able to make quite a bit more progress.
There is another method to get round the HDCP trap, which is to buy one of the Spatz boxes http://www.engadget.com/2005/07/15/spatz-techs-dvi magic-killing-on-hdcp/ - there's no way that it could be embargoed - the point of the device is to enable legacy devices to receive HDCP output. That is not illegal, or unethical.
If you notice, that device no longer shows up on Spatz' website. You get a 404 if you following the link in the engadget article. Also it was pretty pricy at $480. You could buy a new (HDCP-compliant) display for that price.

If you are labeling this informative instead of funny, then you are not a web designer and the joke has gone right over your head.

In British English this would actually be correct. In American English, not so much...

Which of the church fathers, and which of their writings would you recommend to verify this for ourselves?
Using Evince, GNOME's document viewer, you don't even have to copy to another document. Merely selecting the "redacted" text shows the actual text.
Unless you put the malloc on the outside of the loop, or call free() at the end of the loop, you've got a serious memory leak there.
With XOM installed, you cannot install firmware updates. Ask me how I know...
Actually, it is spam, because the it's a referal link which gives a kickback to the AC.
Me fail English? That's unpossible!
Actually, I don't see why you couldn't.

Wow, you must have got in early. My estimated ship date is mid-March, and my machine is stock!
