Linux users dont buy software. There is no revenue stream there.
Windows users don't buy Adobe Flash player. There is no revenue stream there.
Who is pirating more? Windows or Linux users? Have you seen some illegal Linux installation? Businesses are more likely to "pirate" Linux by violating license of OSS products.
I am Linux user and I do buy software that runs on Linux.
People from different age groups buried together. Such death are usually not from natural causes. Why do archaeologists think that it is a grave and not some sacrificial altar or sleeping bed.
I also hear that some mysterious issues with OpenSSL have been fixed by Debian developers, which could save us from memory leaks and increase performance. Personally, I'm amazed that the OpenSSL devs haven't fixed this issue themselves yet.
OpenSSL devels themselves are partially responsible for Debian OpenSSL issue. Coding methods that look unsafe were used without documenting or explaining them.
"Well now I bought this game for my grandson thinking it was just about good ol' wholesome gangland killing. And then I find out that the game actually has... sex in it!"
If he is old enough to play M or 18+ rated game, then he is old enough to have sex instead of just watching low res pixelated version of it.
Who would want to try and P2P anything over 3G, anyhow?
Today? I don't know. Today P2P is mainly used just for the sharing of large data files.
You can transfer large files over GPRS, EGDE or 3G, but only you transfer one large file. P2P does not work that way. File is divided into small parts and distributed between lots of sources. P2P performance will suck over 3G.
Mobile network is suitable for web browsing and email. It is not suitable for P2P, SSH and other services that work with small packets or where low latency is required.
So it's not clear to me what you're saying is wrong with eGold. They (claim to) hold assets in gold, and use that gold to back transactions... so what?
Today's money is not backed by gold. Most of central banks stopped operating that way in 193x. If you keep money in bank, you get dividends. If you keep gold, you pay for storage. Keeping gold is profitable only when price of gold is rising and even then amount of gold you hold is decreasing with every minute, because holder must somehow cover storage costs.
I've tried to help one user, who wanted to pay for services with e-gold. It was very difficult to make payments. User had to go through several hops just to get some of that "gold". Some of sites listed as e-gold brokers were closed or their accounts were suspended. It looked fishy to me. Showing some photo or video and saying that it is gold. Gimme a break.
e-Gold might be popular only because some services that accept e-gold payments, don't accept standard credit card payments.
I am not saying that PayPal is better that e-Gold or USD. They are different and have different issues. e-Gold is a bit closer to being illegal and tries to use magic "gold" word to attract users. You wouldn't buy some map with sunken Spanish treasure fleet, right?
If we had perpetual copyrights, we would have to pay royalties for anything created centuries ago. Think about Mozart heirs asking to pay for 9th symphony or Dante's super duper grandson still controlling rights of Divine Comedy. All these copyright extensions are moving copyrights to that direction.
Your house is not the same as your great grandfather bought. Every generation invested in that house.
If your police ships suspects to some 'friendly' foreign nation for interrogations, then you are not living in democratic country. 'plausible deniability' does not protect from brute force. It protects people, when interrogators can't threaten them physically.
If interrogators can waterboard you, they can kill you as well.
Any information that you get from threatened person is worthless, because person would do anything (lies included) to avoid being killed or tortured.
Waterboarding is illegal in democratic countries. US constitution has Fifth Amendment. User can be asked to show what is in encrypted volume and he can show it, if he or she wants to help police in investigation. If police claims that user has some hidden volume that file, they would be accusing user without having a proof.
It might be something related to your set of extensions. I've started experiencing similar issues not long ago on Iceweasel 2.0.0.14. Haven't tried to locate the faulty one yet.
self signed certificate or own root certificate authority does not have good chain of trust. Asking to install some CA is not acceptable, because that CA can be used to abuse your trust. If browser already has CA certificate preinstalled, its trustworthiness was checked by time and third party. Asking to accept self signed certificate is not acceptable, because users won't be able to differentiate between good and bad self signed certificates and click on "Yes" to get stuff done.

Does that include handing Russian passports to citizens of other country and supporting pro-Russian separatist movements in neighboring countries?

eGold works with bogus money and is backed by claims of company that it has that amount of gold in safe. Gold standard died more than 50 years ago.
PayPal works with real money.

It worked only for one thousand years in a environment controlled by the church. Then Huss and Luther came.
in other words "feel the synergy of my page". Could you cut PHB crap out of it?

Structure looks rigid. Your car might be shattered, but you could die only due to sudden acceleration/deceleration on impact.
They will have less money, if they have to support the DNS infrastructure.
They can also push Silverlight. It is already listed in windows updates for Vista.
Or it is harder to get to Mercury than to LEO, Moon or Mars.
Yeah. Instead of that OEMs bundle Office trial versions without being asked for it.
So spamming people with news about Firefox 3.0 release did something.
