System administration is a cost, like insurance. What is the cost to you of downtime? Your insurance against incurring that cost is the people you pay to avoid it.
Somebody PLEASE develop a consistent library and API with minimal requirements that can interface with a whole bunch of windowing environments- including GNOME and KDE at a minimum. It should load the specific windowing interfaces dynamically so that using this common library adds no further dependencies to an application that uses it. From this interface I'd want to see fully-customisable keybindings, macros, and GUI controls of various sorts, an ability to hook to interesting events (eg. about to suspend, woken up, user logged out of GUI), info about screen layouts, access to user preferences regarding these applications (window positioning for particular apps, etc), and some assistance in loading and restoring state.
xlib?
I have been awfully tempted to attempt this myself but I know it would be far too large a project for a single person. I'd never finish it on my own, and I'm not interested in the politics it would take to get traction on such a thing.
Start the project, show the benefits from what you have, and you might find interested people joining you.
Cool, now can you you imagine FINDING the correct line in large files? Do you realise HOW BIG XML files get? The simplicity of text files lies in the fact that they have a minimum of clutter for me to waste my time. Especially when I am working of dialup over a cellphone.
Hell, GNOME uses XML config files. It's next to impossible to figure out the correct magic value to set some field to to get it to do what I want.
You do realise that all that extraneous information should be recorded in the manual page for that file in section 5? Alternatively, applications with lots of options can ship their documentation in alternative formats as well, like HTML or Texinfo, or docbook, or...
No. Network neutrality basically says "You paid for this bandwidth, use it as you like". Non-network-neutrality says "You paid for the bandwidth, but you can use it only for services we offer (or for connections to our partenrs. For anything else, here's a small fraction of your bandwidth".
What the non-neutral offer does is basically say "We can give you unlimited traffic, but only at $SLOW speed and for broadband speeds, you only get partner access". Essentially, instead of raising prices, they are making additional plans and pushing everyone down the ladder.
Folks drive for many reasons, one being a sense of going where they want, when they want.
Good public transport does _exactly_ that. Cars don't scale to the population densities of major business centres.
Public transport users are subsidising your car usage of road space. Now, that subsidy is being taken away in certain areas. Don't like paying for the road space you use? Use less space. Mass transit does exactly that.
The cars can stay in the homes of people who want them, where they have garages.
It's just like IPv4, but with a bigger address space. There's a few optional shortcuts in notation, and the notation in usually hex instead of decimal, but operationally, there's no difference.
See, all that it takes is for the Indians and/or Chinese to decide that IPv4 isn't acceptable any longer, and they would rather use IPv6. No need to reallocate IPv4.

Keep in mind that recipients are under no obligation to accept your email. If I can't distinguish between your email and stuff sent by zombies at the SMTP envelope, you fall into the same category. The only trustworthy factor in that decision is the IP address of the SMTP client.
If you aren't willing to pay for the privilege of communicating with my mailfarm, feel free to send mail by registered post.
And you want to run a outbound SMTP client off a dynamic IP exactly why? How does the recipient ISP distinguish between your host and the swarms of neighbouring botted Windows hosts?
*shrug*. If you have a good working relationship with SORBS, you get unlisted very fast. That implies terminating spammers really quickly. If you are doing that, and consistently doing it, you might want to give SORBS a heads up on unlisting you (yes, they do it).

There is no rise in income. Only a rise in real expenditure. Insurance has no ROI.

http://schizoid.in/ is one of those. A friend runs it.
a) Require a list of valid recipients.
b) Recipient callouts
c) Don't require a secondary MX. Get more reliable email hosting instead.

If it's going to cost you more than 3000 USD, it's cheaper to fly to India (or Russia)

Colocate a host, get a static IP, lease a box, or a virtual server ...

So all I need to do is make an explosive device trigger which needs to be exposed to a strobe to work?
Islamic terrorism is not "new". See Kashmir, which makes Northern Ireland look like a walk in the park.
Also see the terrorists in Punjab backed by Pakistan.
When I ssh in through a tunnel to update it, it insists on running the update program as an X client for crissakes.

That's because the cost of the communication is borne by your recipients. Oh, and you are spamming.
