Earth does not have monopoly on microbes. Give them a bit of friendly environment and microbes will exist there. They won't be the same as microbes on Earth, but they will be micro organisms.
One more thing. Hushmail does not encrypt data. It only provides PGP support. Data on google can be encrypted only if you and all people that you correspond with use PGP or SMIME. You can have it without help from google. Just use PGP and then you will notice that it is unrealistic. Some people won't use it. Using Java PGP client provided by google does not solve the issue. It is loaded from server and admins can put anything that they want there. Including trojan than uploads private keys and passphrases to remote server.
"Encrypt everything on server so that admins can't read it" does not work for webmail or any standard email setup. Encryption/decryption must be done by sender and recipient.
Before asking for encryption on email server, think how email servers work and how they get all data. If you don't, people who work with email servers and webmails, will shred your proposal into tiny pieces.
Not if they don't know what it means without the key and only I have that.
gmail is not written in Java. Only code executed on your machine is in JavaScript. Do you happen to know PGP client written in JavaScript? If data is stored on server side in encrypted form and you don't have local client doing decryption, you will need to send to your private key to google.
Now the next feature we all need is encryption of the content of our data when it is at rest on disks in Google's data center. That way even Google employees cannot read our mail. Not for serving up ads. Not for any reason whatsoever.
Nah, I'm dreaming.
You are not dreaming. You are delusional or missed your security classes. Encryption won't save you from physical access. If service can read file, attacker with physical access can read it too.
0.3% of the population (~1 million blind vs 300 million Americans) forces the other 99.7%
Your town has been selected for nuclear testing. Total town population is less than 1% of global population. You have 2 days to pack your stuff and leave.
Remember that next time you want to use statistics against some minority. You are less than 0.001% of global population. Statistically you are not important.
1. How many pages browser has in memory? 2. Have you tried it without google ad-on? 3. Firefox with just one add-on. Fine. How many plugins you have in firefox?
War was not won by producing state of art equipment. It was won by producing lost of it in fast and cheap way. T34 and Shermans were not the best tanks in WWII. State of art was Tiger 2 and Germans lost.
There is a novel which shows that these laws follow basic humanity principles. You can only confirm that some person is not a robot, if he/she breaks robotic laws. If person does not break three robotic laws, he is a robot OR a very kind human.
99% of people couldn't care less for the advanced features in anything.
The ones that use them are pissed off, because ribbon breaks their productivity. How about simple feature - table of contents? Might work fine until you have to fix header styles and style controls in ribbon are fubar.
Because this server has been running 24x7 for about 3 years without a single outstanding issue. When they migrated it from Savvis to some datacenter in Dallas 2 months ago, I've had no less than 20 separate outages , while the underlying OS and application stack itself has not changed in any way to facilitate those outages.
Three years on one hardware is a long time. There might be a pile of dust inside that machine. Hardware might be damaged when it was moved.
You don't have memtest logs of your machine, right?
They can't help you, because you don't let them help you. Maybe you can't login only because your box sits there and asks for root password to fix disk corruption or network card is changed and host does not have working network. If you haven't pissed off them already, reasonable people might give you KVM access free of a charge. As others already pointed out, they don't need root password for logs. They don't need account for that either. You can send them packed log directory or set syslog to print logs on console.
If you want to get your box back without giving them password, pay for KVM. Talking on slashdot won't help you.
Seems to me IE6 having any market share at all is because of the huge number of XP non registered copies floating around in places like China and even the US.
Some people might run unsigned business applications from unc shares. If OS is updated by IE7-8 browser, it starts complaining about unsigned apps every time app is started. We don't need that stinking warning box and these IE OS updates and WGA addons are kept away from user machines.
I have released a statement on the past and current Busybox lawsuits, which do not represent my interest."
If software licensed under GPL does not have central authority, which requires assignment of copyright to it, SFLC has no other option but to support software writers who are wiling to sue.
Although they can't claim that they own all code.
SFLC operates on US and this is one of a few cases where they can support people who's license terms are violated. It gives SFLC some publicity, but it does not help others who ask for help and learn that they have to do everything themselves.

They will lose only if Chinese Firewall starts blocking them. You can't lose part of Internet market by moving outside of country.

Piracy happens when sellers and buyers fail to agree on pricing. Greedy bastards ask too much.

All employees (including C*Os) wear uniforms - fine. Only selected group does - Nazis called, they want their people management methods back.
Good question. Ask for that those Asus idiots, who put windows xp silver theme on EeePC.

Beer is very good and healthy drink. I've never heard of anyone drinking it from wine glasses.

Those who want to play will lie about their physical stats or will play games that don't discriminate them.
Inflation happens. Photoshop already costs 960 USD (1170 USD with VAT) in Europe.
