Free schooling is one of the few things I would like to see subsidized for all. An educated populace is good for our country in dealings local and remote.

Im sure they could create beautiful and "Just Works" applications, but they wont.
If history proves anything, is that they are a hardware company that demands an iron fist over "Their" hardware, regardless who actually buys it. In that regard, they are worse than anything Microsoft can ever throw at us. Our Ipod touches are not ours, never ours, and never will be ours as long as they have anything to say about it. The only reason certain Ipods are exempt from the iron grasp is because of Linux and freedom fighters have hacked the firmware to install things like Rockbox.
And Jobs isnt giving a keynote. I really dont care. They refuse to listen to their market segment (touchscreen Mac, mac pro mini, and others), and they put our crippled device after crippled device, some being remotely disablable. Perhaps one time, I did care about OSX, and the Ipod, but I have Ubuntu and a myriad of HD MP3 players 1/2 the price the smallest Ipod classic.
Yeah, it is a hit on I/O, but if we're using a Core2Duo, there's a bit of CPU available.. And you can sell it as "All your data is encrypted on the disk as per Sarbanes Oxley/HIPPA/governmental org standard." It's not terribly that important, but a selling point.
Many businesses like to take lip service of "security", so feed it to them. Honestly, encryption would prevent gaining access to data if physically stolen, so would only make sense on laptops, not servers in a locked room. But it still looks good after the fact of a data breach.
---Encryption isn't so important unless you're worried about someone coming in and physically stealing your hardware, but it will complicate setup a bit and will slow down IO a bit (depending on CPU speed).

---Webmin is great for this type of thing.
Very true. Webmin is invaluable for this kind of stuff. It's easy to train somebody else what you're doing and basic checkups and stuff.
---Your network connection is the limiting factor here. On large sequential reads, modern SATA drives with a mobo's onboard controller can easily maintain the 100MB/s or so it takes to max out your gigE connection.
Of course, it does depend on the network I/O, but that would depend on the types of users (s)he is serving. If they're just document users, it will be plenty of random reads and writes, and might call for 2 128GB SSDs for main disk, while offloading bigger files to the spindles. Still, considering a good managed switch with 2 dual homed 1Gbps might be called for. It comes down to a tradeoff of cost vs performance.
What if it's for a small, say =6 person office? 4 (5400RPM) SATA drives are perfectly fine.. if they're document and spreadsheet workers. The situation is completely different if these were video editors or CAD/CAM software types. Then you need 10GBps server, hardware raid10, say 15 drives, quad-core, and max ram.
Go get a lowbie Core2, mobo, good amount of ram, and 4 1TB disks. Install Ubuntu on them with LVM and encryption. Run the hardening packages, install Samba, install NFS, and install Webmin.
You now have a 100% controlled NAS that you built. You can also duplicate it and use DRBD, which I can guarantee that NO SOHO hardware comes near. You also can put WINE on there and Ming on your windows machines for remote-Windows programs... The ideas are endless.
---I'm sure you may be right and thats your opinion, but Microsoft thinks the user is never too dumb and caters to their every ignorant need.
It's not really my opinion of anything: text is needed where we need to read about informing things. As per Microsoft, I think they're too dumb and cannot make any better.
---They also make money hand over fist.
Illegally, I might add. Many, many people do not want Vista under any circumstances. That's why MS allowed XP to be sold for a longer time, but that gig is up. Now, Dell and others are jacking up the prices on XP so that we can be 'forced' to Vista. And, frankly, the only reason Microsoft sells Windows is because they have 'agreements' with the box manufacturers to not sell non-Windows machines.
---You haven't convinced me, when I'm useing my computer i consider it a failure when ever I have to get out of my reclined position and type. right click-properties-disk space is not just an improvement, it's the floor, anything more complicated is into negative points.
I'm god friends with a few librarians who recall the old days. In the old days, the library computer was a Unix box with terminals set up all around so that patrons could search books, view what they had checked out, set interlibrary loans, reserve books, and whatnot. The terminals were dead-easy to use as everything just made sense. Nobody had to train the patrons that the "search" menu allowed you to search...
Fast forward to today. These libraries got away from the gold Unix standard and went to a "Microsoft Platform". They nixed their terminals and had to go with full desktops, which introduced security issues. Extra software was bought for that. There was anti-virus, so they bought software for that. Since they surfed the internet too, filtering software was bought also. Before, when I searched for a book, I pressed F1 to return to home screen, enter (defaults on search), and enter subject. Now, it's "Click on Internet Explorer, load up the homepage, click on this link to search".. And no extra features at all. All the while, features allowed to patrons are decreased and workload on librarians are increased.
I can show flowery graphs and pretty pictures with sound and everything... and yet, "df -hm" gives just as much information as some over-bloated app that does the same thing.
Sometimes text is more helpful, but in certain cases.
What would you think if compiler showed a movie of someone getting kicked in the balls with "Ow! My Balls"? I'd rather have "** exception error: no match of right hand side value 2"

I just described what you could do as per a ex-Windows user would be used to being told. Things just work, and settings- complex settings are easy to set.
Yeah, as they have little or no means, and it's just not right.
-yes defendant's illness makes it harder for her to deal with the case and defend it -yes defendant's illness makes it more morally opprobrious to sue her, without at least investigating beforehand to make sure she is in fact liable for copyright infringement, especially when -- as in these cases -- the plaintiffs' actual damages are probably in the neighborhood of $3 or $4
Ill ask then: Assuming that she IS guilty, what is a fair punishment per song, or per album?
Yeah, 750$ min per song is just stupid, but that's the statutory punishment. And 0 doesnt work, as we do want to further the arts and sciences. Perhaps 3X the CD cost if published?
Also, is there caselaw in which knowing of filing a lawsuit that would most assuredly shorten a lifespan considerably be actioned against? Why else would they target her, other than she is not capable biologically or financially to fight back?
Piracy is easier. What I dont buy in "imaginary media", I can buy in hardware, gadgets, better food, dinner out, save up for my ring for my GF, and other real stuff. Braggart pirates and others willing to go the length get the media we all want. I just benefit on those people who get it for me, and I thank them.
Frankly, if you make "imaginary media", I'll take your work and not give a shit less. Ill spend my money on real material, thankyouverymuch.

If you move away, you leave their problems with them.
If you own a house, well, you probably paid too much and will have to sell it at a loss.
