I would be surprised to find its to optimize the heart rate. I'll lean more towards making sure these 12 year old tubs of lard don't keel over from a heart attack during gym class and the parents sue the school.
They did also mention vulnerability scanning to the patching when saying companies were focusing in the wrong place. This means a company can say "We scanned that box with X app and found no X OS holes" when in all reality they are running vulnerable versions of Y and Z apps and the companies scan didn't pick that up because they were focusing on OS vulnerabilities.
There are also many companies that while being diligent on patching their OS's, they are not so quick to apply application patches when they are released.
OpenSolaris pretty much addresses all your issues with Solaris, especially the patching. There are numerous people using OpenSolaris in production, the stable releases do seem stable enough for such use. I don't really see OpenSolaris (or Solaris 10, smf made this much easier) to be all that much harder to secure then say RHEL.
With so little overlap with OS and hardware as Oracle did next to nothing with an OS and no hardware at all, I doubt they got rid of many, if any, of those in Sun that are accustomed to managing and selling high end hardware and software. On top of that, Oracle knows how to sell very expensive bits.
I don't care about Ubuntu, but it's users seem happy. Anyway, Windows 7 and Snow Leopard are both performing very well for me on less then bleeding edge (3 years old) hardware and have fixed various irritations in their predecessors. Both MS and Apple seem to have created OS's that are well worth the cost and time to upgrade from earlier versions.
Actually the box set is not a bad deal. An updated iLife (your Tiger mac came with iLife), iWork and SL for the same cost of going to Leopard ($129), then getting SL ($30).
Even if it was granted that cell plans in the US cost twice as much (or more) for worse service was because of the area of the US, that infrastructure has pretty much been in place for the past decade and hasn't changed much. Its been paid for already and maintenance does not cost as much as the initial deployment. So if it actually had anything to do with the cost of infrastructure, plans should have become more affordable, as they have pretty much everywhere except the US and Canada.

KDE 4.3 Released
·
· Score: 4, Informative
It went away when Plasma became another layer above the window managers virtual desktops. Had plasma simply been a library and a method for displaying desktop widgets this wouldn't have happened but some retard had to have it this way, so away went different wallpapers for different virtual desktops, along with a lot of other features KDE3 had though most regressions were not because of plasma.
I still don't know what the hell plasma activities are supposed to do, except break things. They don't do anything that virtual desktops don't.
Anyway, now with KDE 4.3 you can have one activity for all your virtual desktops or have one activity per virtual desktop. If you do the former, you can have all your desktop widgets on all desktops (handy so you don't have to switch around to use that folder you put on your desktop or to check the weather) but loose the ability to have different wallpapers for those desks OR you can have different wallpapers by having a different activity on each virtual desktop and loose the ability to share widgets across all desktops. So if you want that folder or your weather widget on every desktop, you're going to launch a separate instance for each activity.
Why not have 32bit? There is no real compelling reason for most people to have a 64bit OS so why force people to buy all new hardware when what you're trying to do is sell an OS? Most people that brag about having a 64bit system have no idea what they're talking about, they just brandish it around and keep yammering on about it like it's some awesome thing.
Fair trial clauses are usually in criminal cases only. This is a business relationship, where businesses usually reserve the right to cancel service at any time.
What they did, they did in the UK. They then fled and attempted to request asylum, which was denied. One of two things happened after that, both legal. Either their priflege of being in the US was revoked and they were deported, or the UK voiced their claim on them and they were extradited per US/UK agreements.
Just because they put their works on a server in the US does not change the fact they were created in the UK. They UK can use this to say the crime occurred in their jurisdiction. They did what they did in the UK and it is illegal there.
What you describe (packet inspection and prioritizes traffic based on internal rules) is QoS. No one in their right mind is against that. The net neutrality debate is about ISP's throttling some traffic in order to extort money from both their customers and content providers that otherwise have no other relationship with the ISP. The debate is that all ISP's should be are the tubes the content is delivered over, not gate keepers of content.
That an ISP may prioritize services like VOIP over http or bittorrent is not what net neutrality is about and quite frankly is something that a good network engineer would look into and would probably implement.
I purchased a static IP, it is as unique and identifies me as much as my address and my license plate identify myself or my wife. ISP records can also correlate IP's to customers again identifying you as closely as your address identifies you.
You mean how bombing the shit out of Pearl Harbor didn't precipitate the US entrance into the second world war? Aggressive action usually has the effect of galvanizing the populace against you, on top of that North Koreans have been taught since the end of the Korean War that the world, especially the US is out to get them, war just proves that.
You have attributed intelligence to middle management. Your scenario can not possibly be correct.
So only write about real science. Don't give the snake oil salesmen any time or print.

I think you'd find half the internet IS illegal.
That's why I use IE.

Opera wants to explore that particular 'what if.'
Yes, you're allowed to make backup copies of movies you own, but every tool that exists to allow you to exercise your right is illegal.

I like the ADB mouse that came with the MacSE.

I have something like that in the closet that's in my home office. Accessible, neat and out of the way.
You share a building with 50 other desks at work, most of them are not the same company. Is that buildings address PII?
Is your home address?

Yes it will work, but it would be happier with 1 or 2 GB RAM. We had Leopard on a G4 mini with 1GB RAM just fine. They were running Adobe CS2.
