His current work has mostly been on a new programming language called Go (for those who have not heard of it). A young, but thus far impressive systems programming language.

I think that people are missing the point in that the advantage of openness appeals mainly to developers, not end users. The overhead of coming up with something innovative is reduced when developers have something like Linux or Android and thus the users ultimately benefit from new and interesting available products. Android's own origin owes to this process, and then there are things like Amazon's Kindle, Barnes & Noble's Nook (which runs Android even), a ton of other embedded devices, and more appearing all the time. So, developers get a pretty big leg up, but pretty much everyone wins in the end.
I wouldn't say that the features were created for making complex logic circuits, it just happens to be possible. Mostly they are for doing things like opening and closing doors, which is of a lot more practical use than an enormous logic machine.
If you want complex logic in the game, there are versions of the Minecraft server which include script interpreters (Python, et al).
Speaking of genius banks, I called mine up and gave them travel plans for the first time before my yearly trip to Europe. Somehow this was also the first year they decided to cut my card off while I was in Europe. And yes, they called my landline also. You would think they could send a damn e-mail too at least..
I'm in the same boat. I bought my Nexus One outright and already had a good T-Mobile plan ($60/m with unlimited data) that I had gotten with a previous phone. If you sign up with a subsidized phone or locked phone T-Mobile will only give you a "smart phone" data plan, which is $25 as opposed to the $5 that I am paying now.
The Nexus One (and other similar devices) have really become more than mobile phones though. I would like to have the freedom to choose the carrier of my data like I choose my ISP for my home computer. In fact, next week I will be popping in a European SIM while I am traveling over there and I also plan in the future to experiment with prepaid and use SIP for voice. Considering I spend most of my time in places with WiFi access, I really don't need the mobile carrier too often.
If this becomes a problem, I'll just route all my traffic through an ssh proxy on my VPS. Let them tailor their ads to the datacenter in Dallas. Not that I will be seeing them with AdBlock on anyway..
Do you scrutinize every ad that you see? Do you even give it a second of your time? I certainly don't. Particularly when it says 'Microsoft' (but that is another story).
I am going to assume that you were either born in the US or came here at an early age (or another English speaking country, since you have not specified). Thus it should be safe to assume that you speak completely unaccented English, i.e.: you would get no different treatment over the phone. If someone cannot recognize that, then that person is most likely stupid. And like a lot of other people have been saying, that is not your problem, but theirs. Indeed, if stupid people were your problem, you would have a lot of problems.
Dialect *is* highly based around social status (and thus, income). However, more importantly one usually chooses to speak with a particular dialect depending on the situation and how the speaker wishes to identify himself.
So, in your example many middle class 'white boys' wish to identify with the culture of their inner city heroes, but would not speak that way in a more formal setting. While even the most uneducated inner city black person could speak 'standard English' (exposure is impossible to avoid due to media), but chooses not to in order to show solidarity with his social group.
I am curious to know why you moved away from Trac.
At my company we have been quite comfortably using Trac for both IT management and software development for over a year now. Clearly, it is best suited for the latter, but we have found it not to be lacking for documenting IT stuff.
For example, one thing that I find odd about what you are doing is putting problem descriptions inside the wiki page for each machine. Whereas (IMHO) Trac has this covered by its ticketing system where each issue has its own space for comments and followups. It is fully searchable, has various classifications (though we only use priority), and can be tagged with particular problem categories, or perhaps more importantly the names of machines involved.
I also find Trac's timeline invaluable for seeing what has been going on during the day or last couple of days, making sure new tickets don't get ignored, etc.. We also have an e-mail system setup where the non-IT masses (mostly chem E's) can report problems and have a ticket created from individual e-mails. SVN integration is handy as we keep all our various scripts in a repo. Everything is quite handily linked together by simply syntax like #31, r31, SomeWikiPage (for a ticket, revision, and wiki page respectively).
So, what made you change? Or were you only using the wiki feature of Trac and found it inadequate?
It is background entertainment. Some killing machines like to listen to music, others prefer a bit of source code to go with their symphony of destruction.

I always knew IE was bad, but I didn't know it could get you killed..
Seriously though, the CA system is awful and needs replacing.

If only I had mod points.. You just made this whole thread redundant.
You should really stop playing on 'Chieftan' difficulty.

Clearly you need a supercomputer to simulate your supercomputer.

Porn stores usually end up on your bill with an obscure or inconspicuous name like 101ACMESTUF or Bob's Hardware Shop ..so I've heard.
Mead is also dead simple to make and probably far tastier than most moonshine, though it is not going to be quite as potent.
Yes, please.

He 'accidentally' deleted all your backups too, eh?
Yep, I just took a syntax class where the professor used LaTeX extensively and encouraged students also to do so. I was quite impressed.
