He is a famous hacker because he got caught. There are thousands of hackers much better (if that's the right word), so why does he get all the attention?
constructive suggestions on how to get over the bloat without losing the functionality I think shortcuts are definetly the way forward, for example pressing ctrl+? opens fsck or whatever:) Much faster, easier, and makes desktops less clutered (as you don't need icons etc on desktop)
They better be sure their encryption is up to scratch. I was reading just the other day ( I believe it was on Slashdot) that there are supercomputers now that can break 128bit encryption in a matter of minutes.
If you believe that someone who allows a bad thing to happen is as bad as the person who does it, then I wonder how it is you even own a computer? Shouldn't you have sold it and donated the money to the poor? Because, by your own reasoning, you are guilty of having the means to help, but you have not done so. Could you tell me when I said I was free from blame, please?
businessmen are utterly blameless in this affair Just because they're not doing anything to help it doesn't mean they're not blameless. If you're not part of the solution you're part of the problem.

It's nice to think that what with war looming, the prospect of thousands of people being killed, all business men can think about is money. It sickens me.
what is prohibiting you from upgrading the hard drive, memory and gfx card? There surely must be atleast 1 open PCI slot The hard-drives they put in will only fit those machines, so you need to somehow get hold of a super-expensive 'eMachines' hard-disk, there is almost always only 1 memory slot and the gfx card is soldered to the board, in my dad's eMachine there's only 1 PCI slot, which is taken up.
No. eMachines are TERRIBLE. My dad bought one a while back, it's the cheapest piece of crap ever. You can't upgrade ANYTHING in it (hard-disk, memory, gfx card, processor, NOTHING). It's noisey, the components are cheap, and if this 64bit is the same, I'd hate to have one.

How about making dishwater that tastes like beer?
Sorry, that should be Newcastle

I'd rather travel with the aid of a human pilot, if it's all the same with you.

So basically what you're trying to say is: Money > Human Life.
Great.

Increasing bandwidth would be cheap enough. Either by more birds or bigger birds. Kind of like servers :)

a wireless standard similar to 802.11, but with better security
If it has better security why isn't it a worldwide standard?
