Well I said "proper" for a reason, and I should've clarified but didn't. I meant a properly validated cert that actually means something beyond "yeah, your communications with this site are encrypted and probably won't be hijacked."
Personally, I only truly respect secure websites that require client certificates as well.
Very little, because the DoJ shut down the case before it went to the most recent punitive stage. The findings of fact was useful in that it resulted in many civil suits against Microsoft being won without having to argue the merits of those specific facts.
Instead of actually doing something about the facts of the case, the government decided to turn around and walk away, so that Microsoft ended up in a form of legal limbo where they were guilty of doing something wrong without being punished for it yet, but possibly getting it later.
My Tomtom unit can read music and photos off an arbitrary SD card for playback while I'm driving an MP3 player or photo browser. It also supports Ebooks. The device itself shows up as two USB drives when plugged in by USB -- one for the internal memory, one for the flash drive.
A Darwin award? For using FAT? Like every camera maker on the market? And every DVD player with memory card slots? And TVs that have them for that matter? Not to mention stereo systems with USB plugs.
According to their site, it would be possible to just put a DNSCurve cache in front of your authoritative DNS server and not need to change the latter at all.
Maybe you're a left-winger suffering from math problems. Look up the percentage of CO2 that's actually human-caused in the environment then go home and weep because there's nothing we can reasonably do about it.
PS Greenland used to be warm with arable farmland. When we get back to that point, you can start whining if it gets even warmer.
The visual split screen is a good idea -- it enforces a nice 16x9'ish viewing field which doesn't change the FoV when playing split-screen, whereas normal split-screen systems do (you lose height or width).
Sure, its not utilizing the whole screen, but it allows their render engine to be much more aggressively optimized and have a similar play experience to full-screen play.
The racism thing is stupid. The last game took place in Europe and all the zombies were white. Now its in Africa and they're all black. Go figure.
The load times the company did say they were working on and should be improved.
PS the Wii's hardware sucks comparatively -- they'd have to write essentially a whole new game to work on it.
Thus you find that when you take the amount of game you can design and hope to make money, and the amount of assets you can fit in RAM, you get a number that is your real limit, regardless of how much space you have. You also find that for the most part, a DVD is just fine. While you'll find some games on the PS3 that use more, it is with HD videos. That's nice and all, but not really relevant to the core of how good a game looks.
Am I the only one with ears? Its the sound! Many larger PS3 games come with uncompressed 7.1 audio. That's UNCOMPRESSED 7.1 PCM audio, and it sounds incredible.
Now fine, if you think 128k MP3s sound fine compared to a CD, go on enjoying your DVD-based games, but really good non-scratchy perfectly clear well-mixed PCM audio makes all the difference to me.
While your story rings true, why not consider virtualization in the future when you'd like to add another server?
When you're ready to purchase a new server for another task, instead of virtualizing all existing services into individual servers, virtualize the entire server as-is into its own virtual host and let it keep running the way it always did. Then add another virtual server instance to run the new stuff.
That's how I'd approach cost savings with virtualization in your environment.
I'm sorry, but/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit is certainly not empty on my Fedora boxes. It also contains a lot of good functionality that matters to system start-up.

Log to a PID based history file as well as to an inter-process locked DB history file.
'history' could then show the commands on this terminal for this session.
'history -a' could then show all historical commands across all open sessions by the user in proper order.
PS you can achieve this already by typing 'history -a' whenever you type a series of commands (to commit the new commands to the history immediately) and 'history -n' to read any new lines out of the history file and append them to your current session's stack.
Its not pretty, but it works.

Log in twice (A) and (B) as the same user, do something in session (A), then log out of (A).
Now check 'history' as (B), obviously the first session's command isn't there.
Open another session, (C) and check its history. It is just as you'd expect. Now type a simple command into session (B) and log out of it. What do you think the history is?
Check history on (C) still logged-in. Log out of (C) and check history on a new login and you'll see that the history matches (C) inherited from (A), no record of (B) happening.
I've yet to figure out what this "real" life is and how it differs from the living I'm doing right now while typing.
Last I checked, we living breathing human beings on the Internet are no less alive or real than when we're out in person.
The difference is the perceived ability to get away with lying (like anyone is honest in public either) and the lack of visual identifiers for prejudice.
Sorry, not a rant against you;-) Just those who make such comments.

You're right, and I agree, but the exact phrase the GP used appeared in the defense for The Pirate Bay story the other day.
Thank-you for defining 'not a monopoly' for all the people who don't understand Microsoft's lawsuits.
Microsoft gets in trouble for this behaviour because their OS is pervasive to the point of necessity.
If Apple somehow controlled the market for cell phones, they'd have anti-trust issues to deal with too. Until then, its up to them to be nice to their users or not.
I told a user to visit a website, say "ford.com" and watched them type "Google" into their MSN homepage, then type "ford.com" into the Google search, then click the first result.

"slash" would be a fun TLD. "x" alone would be too. One of the fun domain names I never forget is cr.yp.to made possible by the "to" ccTLD.
I can see major companies buying their own names as TLDs to create domains like "ftp.dev.intel" or "update.office.ms"
