You can, but remember that water cooling is more efficient than air cooling because water conducts heat better than air. Vacuum doesn't conduct heat at all, so all of your heat loss has to be via radiation, which is less efficient.
Your point is well taken, but your example is a little unfortunate -- Chevron and Texaco are now brands owned by the same company (and they offer a credit card that gives you discounts at both, for example).
The religious texts say a thing, such as when Jesus told his followers "Remember that all these things will happen before the people now living have all died". And they didn't.
Eh, only a few Christians ever believed that, though most of them lived in 20th century America. All those prophecies about stuff happening in that generation did happen; much of the "end of the world" stuff discussed in the Bible was about the end of the Jewish world when Jerusalem was destroyed in 70 AD. I don't agree with all of these guys' conclusions but they cover most of the bases on this topic: http://www.preterist.org/preteristQA.asp

However, the spread of rootkits, viruses and other malware is primarily caused by user stupidity
Hell no. Malware on Windows is directly the fault of Microsoft because they could have designed an OS that was immune to these problems but they haven't. Blaming the users helps no one.
When I can buy games for 10%-20% of their original retail price (as is going on in their holiday sale right now), I don't really feel like I _need_ to trust them.
we are talking about a government that has, ensconced in its constituion, a bunch of grumpy old men, who are above all law or ability to be questioned, who act in the name of god, and have a monopoly on interpretting the will of god, according to law. that doesn't bother you?
Wow, substitute "men" with "men and women", "god" with "the People", and you've described the US Supreme Court pretty well.
There are no mainstream free-market Austrian economists anymore
Hell, there never were any, depending on how you define mainstream. Even Mises himself, while allowed to call himself a "visiting professor" at New York University, never got paid to do so. Economists who say that governments can help business best by mostly leaving it alone tend to not get paid very much. No surprise, since the government and government-sponsored universities tend to be the major employer of economists.

No, it's a game you play on your feet, as opposed to on horseback or something. Soccer is a bastardised form of rugby too. So, there's "American football", "soccer football", and "rugby football".
I recently installed Ubuntu 8.10 on a new machine for my mom's business. It autodetected (correctly!) the HP inkjet plugged into it. CUPS is pretty snazzy these days.
Consider also that the possibilities for nuclear power generation have expanded considerably since the initial period of research in the '50s and '60s -- one of the major drivers for design choices back then was whether the nuclear program pursued would yield weapons-grade materials. Today, that's a liability rather than an asset.
There is a design for nuclear power generation, the Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactor which can be much more fuel-efficient and cost-effective than the light-water reactors used in the US today. It also has much better passive safety (it cannot meltdown or explode, for example), and is suitable for use as a peak-load power generator.
A "theoretically perfect" operating system would be immune to these attacks. Even an operating system that's just a little better designed would be. You nailed the problem: programs users execute receive all the user's powers. Designs for systems that don't do this are fairly well understood (look up 'capability security'), and can be as sophisticated as needed -- you could design rules for browser-launched stuff along the lines of "only allow access to an app-specific portion of the filesystem", "don't allow direct socket connections to other internet sites" (while perhaps still allowing requests through a system-provided resource API), or even "don't allow direct socket access _after_ anything has been read from the local filesystem". It's quite feasible to come up with a system that's as flexible as legitimate application authors would need while having an interface to security controls that's comprehensible to non-technical users.

That also describes Linux, FWIW. ;-)
we'll just have to wait to see if it's constructive or destructive interference.

Dude! At least get 3.6.23, if you don't want the latest version. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/3.6.23/releasenotes/ It was released today as well.
Mainly because PGP is only usable by people who are already security wizards.
Not all of us Linux fanboys have 6 digit accounts... you insensitive clod.
God's Battalions: The Case For the Crusades is an interesting, well-researched book on this topic.
Ignorance on parade.
Yeah, it's "less than the price on the sticker".
The idea of a "just price" went out with the medieval scholastics. Value is subjective.
shut up, don't distract them from adding more totally sweet hats to Team Fortress 2

Wait a minute, you're telling me that they have orbital gun-control satellites?
I suppose I've been planning for the wrong apocalypse entirely.

"Not using C++" is still an argument for GTK.

There was a Google tech talk about it recently.

Yeah, they've still got the same heft and bullet-stopping abilities as the original.
