Facebook has nearly the equivalent of ACLs. Learn to use the groups and privacy functions. You can put people into groups and then give groups, or individual people access (or block access) to nearly any aspect of the site. (And I'm guessing by extension Apps that those people use).
Right now everything is locked down to the point that NO ONE can see anything by default. You can't even search me by name because I don't 'exist'. No pictures, no information, nothing.
I have "Family", "Friends", "Acquaintances", "Co-Workers", etc.
If I want to share that great night out at the bars, my Friends get access and then my cousin that's the same as me.

ZFS, from what I can tell, kicks ass. I've played around with it in virtual machines, taking drives off line, recreating them, adding drives, etc.
When I search NewEgg I also search OpenSolaris' compatibility list.
The two areas that Linux is playing catchup is Filesystems (like this) and Sound (OSS, Pulse, Alsa Oh My!). And before you go pointing out the btrfs project, this has been in servers for years. It's tried in an enterprise environment. Your file system is still in beta with a huge "Don't use this for important stuff" warning.
It's getting almost all the same new features and bug fixes as everything else. From what I understand it is one massive main source trunk. Everything platform specific is taken care of by #if statements and the config script.
Have the bot run all day and the information the ISP stores of you will become meaningless gibberish because the vast majority of it will be random from your bot.
My school had a phone robot that would call people on campus. (Small School), the problem was that it was adaptive and learned how you 'pronounced' peoples names. Leaning to all sorts of hilarity.

You know that BetaMax never really died? Almost every TV station in the US used it. The same thing could happen to Firewire, it could move directly to a professional only adoption. The VERY high end SLRs have Firewire. They even sell Firewire SD and CF card readers.
These are the people that care more about what Firewire offers that USB doesn't than anything else.
Firewire 3200 has the SAME connector as Firewire 800. The only problem with the Firewire 400 connector is it wasn't made non-symmetrical enough and if you were fumbling around on a cheap external drive you could easily plug your iPod in backwards... (not fun). If you mean that Firewire 3200 also supports Cat6 cable and Fiber, then I guess they aren't the same.
Why in God's name would you want or need a mouse or keyboard on USB3, or even USB2 for that matter. Can you daisy chain eSata? Firewire supports up to 63 devices.
1) It doesn't work EVERYWHERE. I'm not talking about everywhere with a wireless signal. I'm talking about EVERYWHERE. 2) I'm not going to pay a monthly fee to use something. I paid Microsoft $X for Streets & Trips. It's one of the rare programs that I will spend the time to virtualize. It's gotten me east coast to west coast with only 1 problem, and that was user error (Grand Canyon Park is NOT the same as "Grand Canyon", the geographic center. Though it was an interesting drive into nothing). 3) AT&T is choking hard with a ton of people browsing the web. Imagine if everyone on the road suddenly was streaming a few K/s. It would bring the network to its knees. I somehow doubt that AT&T is going to pull through and upgrade.
Astraweb is a Usenet provider. My point was why jump through all the hoops of a VPN, on the inside of the US, with who knows what bandwidth just so that you can watch something on Hulu when you can just get it near straight from the source.
If the media companies want to make it hard for me to watch something with their ads, I'll make it easy on myself.
you'll have recreated the fabulous 2-buck pen-and-paper experience. Go you!
The question I don't understand is WHY. The quoted statement outline the end result pretty clearly. I understand slashdot loves to use fancy technology to solve simple problems, but sometimes simpler is better. I already have a HUGE set of properly formatted equations all nicely written out, it's called the Book.
Note taking, for me, was to summarize what the teacher said, in MY words so that I could understand it later. I just learn by writing it down, there were some classes that I never kept the notes. I'd grab what ever scratch paper was by the printers, write on it, and toss it after class. (Statics. F=0, how hard is it?). I still have quite a few of both textbooks AND notes for a class. I have the hard equations and then I have how I learned it. Heaven forbid ever become an engineer, where the teacher is drawing simply supported beams on the board, the teacher is drawing feedback control systems.
Anything worth writing is worth writing once. If someone already wrote it in the text book. Then that is good enough for me. In some classes we'd photocopy the problems out of the book, cut them out and paste them on the homework. It was better looking than my drawing and clearer than my handwriting... and I can guarantee I never made any transcribing errors.
Instantly digitized notes seem like they'd be great for classes where the content will never exist again outside of that class. Philosophy debates, taking notes as a reporter, etc. You're going to spend more of your time trying to figure out how to make that '2' go subscript of that '4' in the numerator with the summation block than you will learning the content. Put down the computer. Grab a good mechanical pencil and a $.50 notebook from walmart and quit worrying about it.
If you HAVE to have a digital copy. Take notes on something that can easily be separated into individual sheets (3 ring binder and 8x11s with 3 holes). When the semester is over take it to any decent multifunction machine, put it in the top and let it scan everything for you.
$99 + $17 shipping, no tax. There's only 1 supplier in the US at the moment.
And for slashdotters, the devkit is MUCH better than PogoPlug or other 'final' products.
USB -> JTAG adapter. If you fubar it, you should be able to unfubar it. SD Slot: 8GB card will act as the boot drive. Saving wear on the internal 512MB memory and allowing me to add a ton of other stuff.
I plan on it being my IRC, AIM, Torrent, Usenet, XBMC Serving, HVAC Controlling, 1-Wire Weather Sensing, 5W (max) box.
For kicks I'll probably do some mencoder benchmarks.
FYI: http://computingplugs.com/ is hosted on a Plug. It survived the last Slashdotting. The guy was using it to stream a TV show and it was still only using 40% CPU. He only unplugged it when he didn't know he was getting slashdotted and thought it was acting weird.
My SheevaPlug arrives via Fedex in about 30 minutes:).
It's going to be like Christmas in a few hours. The Fedex box will be ripped apart strewn across the living room as will be the product packaging. I'll plug it straight into the wall and Ethernet, realize it doesn't do much. Break out the 8GB SD card and not sleep tonight.

Hardware Decoder...
Right now people are working on getting the CrystalHD from Broadcom working under OS X and Linux. Supposedly they can't release it for NDA reasons.
Then there is also VDPAU. I know there isn't an ARM port (YET!). Feature Set C decodes nearly everything in HD. I was playing 1080p with 10% CPU.
There are a ton of those set top box devices from WD and other companies that advertise to 1080P with a small fanless device.

Feedback control is usually how they got people to stop stutter.
They put a microphone on them and feed what they're saying back into headphones with a slight delay.
I guess it's also good for other things.
But regenerative breaking
is an incredible energy saving technology.
Homophone Fail.
And I believe a WHOOSH too.
When the car brakes the electromagnetics are turned on, and the generator starts converting the momentum of the car, back into electrical energy.
RIGHT.
Regenerative breaking makes the difference between eletric automobiles being a pipe dream, and an efficient inner city car.
WRONG.
It's not funny if you have to explain it.
You can if you're good enough.

Note taking, for me, was to summarize what the teacher said, in MY words so that I could understand it later.
Heaven forbid ever become an engineer, where the teacher is drawing simply supported beams on the board...
Both were points to "you're trying to reinvent the wheel". If he's having problems with Equations, he'd never survive where they actually draw stuff.
