International SMS is closer to 0.15 USD in my country.
If site tries to reduce a anonymity of users by requiring real world information, some users won't register. So slashdot might have paid less.
If site requires good registration from the start, it reduces speed of registrations and site fail to reach critical userbase mass. Critical mass is vital for internet service startups.
Strict registration might also affect number of users, who pay for slashdot subscriptions.
If an MTA is sending backscatter, it is not legitimate, it is broken.
No it is not. It is following email protocol.
RFC 821
If a server-SMTP has accepted the task of relaying the mail and
later finds that the forward-path is incorrect or that the mail
cannot be delivered for whatever reason, then it must construct an
"undeliverable mail" notification message and send it to the
originator of the undeliverable mail (as indicated by the
reverse-path).
It does not depend on OS. Wakeonlan depends only on hardware. I am doing backups that way, because I am too lazy to watch how hundreds gigs of data are backuped after working hours. It takes hours even on gigabit network.
"Leave computers turned on" policy fails to eliminate most vulnerable part of backups. Human factor.
basic intros, wizards, etc for introducing and explaining the simple but non-obvious stuff to new users
Create OS that even idiot can use it and only idiot will use it.
Skype is not OS. It is simple app that serves single purpose. Even Skype is not perfect. How many times user ignored messages by other only because he/she hasn't added those people to contact list?

4) xmms, which is ugly but worked just fine, has been deprecated and its replacement, audacious segfaults and freezes.
Gnome uses Rhythmbox and Totem for media playing. I think XMMS is not installed by default in older Ubuntu releases.
The Sugar distribution's exclusion of Flash, and only shipping a crippled version of Gnash, is all about open source politics
From Adobe Flash distribution license - "Licensee must use the installers as-is without modification.". They can't create package for Flash, because packaging involves installing software not according to the way provided by software manufacturer.
Does anyone have tips for getting an affordable one, without the yellow dots?
Pay in cash. Buy in other town. Refuse to provide personal details to seller. Follow same procedure every time you buy replacement drum kit/transfer kit. Follow same procedure if drum kit/transfer kit is part of toner cartridge.
Small color printers are commodity items. You can buy them in any computer store and they won't ask for ID.
You should be concerned about those yellow dots only if you planning to violate the law. If you violate the law and police suspects that you have used your color laser printer to do that, they will check that printer. If police does not suspect you, they won't check it.
Ok, you chose your measure of success, so I will choose mine. How about MS Office, the preferred office suite through out the world? How about IE, the most used web browser? How about Photoshop, the most used and preferred photo editing software? How about anti-virus software that protects computers from most threats when threats evolve daily?
IE is not only most used, but also most broken browser that fails to comply even to Microsoft HTML specifications. iframe tag MUST be closed. IE acts as if iframe does not need closing tag. nested objects must be rendered only when parent object rendering fails. browser developers should not implement scripting tags that use n different unicode blocks and then ask others to filter unsafe scripting.
Did you just ignored my comments about Office, Photoshop and AV products. Photoshop costs more than 600 bucks. Adobe ignores currency exchange rates. 1 USD was equal to 1.2 euros more than five years ago. PhotoShop is used only by graphic designers, who are addicted to PhotoShop interface and can pay inflated prices for that package. It is not most widely used. Most people use Windows Image Viewer or other other graphic app, because they don't need all the features provided by PhotoShop.
Name commercial IMAP server for Windows that is better than OSS IMAP servers. All COTS IMAP servers that I know are broken or limited in some way.
Name your "successful" Windows apps. It is not Photoshop, that fails to save files after some changes in graphics and crashes without explanation. It is not Autodesk products that are pilled on Windows libraries and can break if Microsoft fixes some security issue in KB918118. Not Autodesk products that ship time bomb in final package. Not CorelDRAW with its independent color management system that fails to manage colors and just like PhotoShop can refuse to save files because lack of space, when there are gigs of space available. It is not Vista's UAC and DRM. Not Vista's video camera drivers provided by microsoft that bluescreen most "stable" Windows OS with just one click in camera options. It is not Office products that render documents as intended by document creator only on creator's machine til user upgrades to newer office version. It is not antivirus products, whose "success" depends on crappy security implementation of Windows.
Drugs can be successful too, but they only introduce dependency on drugs and provide temporally feeling of comfort until effect of drug ends and user starts seeking for other portion.

Enter metro station. Jump between different trains. Done. You are no longer traced by GPS.
GPS does not work inside buildings. Or at least civil one does not work through roof or shielded Audi A6 window.

You missed all other local delivery agents that don't provide mta information about user accounts.

Why do you have to reverse engineer it when tools already exist?

How about COTS crapware that runs only on Windows or is called Windows and is not as good as FLOSS offers.
