It's also interesting that people who have installed the Cisco Connect software for configuring their routers, when they browse their router after it has installed the Cisco Connect Cloud version, the software is uninstalled from their PC.
I don't know why, but the "dumb dumb dumb dumb" piece from South Park just plopped into my head.
I can see cases beyond just the end user (who aren't all dumb by the way, some know what they're doing) who would want/need that information in a useful manner. Support teams often ask their users for the browser version so they can help to solve problems. QA teams test with specific browsers, and knowing the version is important if a regression pops up for their site/software later on so they can try to isolate the cause.
It seems like more wasted work to remove it than to just leave it in, while there are bigger problems to be solved.
By chance, did you try a different scheduler to see if it has any effect on your server?
The first bit of lag I noticed with the Completely Fair Scheduler was with synergy between my desktop and my laptop, and when digging into that problem, it was found that a compile option for the scheduler needed to be changed (in stock Ubuntu Gutsy). Unfortunately, more than a year later (with the option supposedly changed in Hardy, still stock), it still lags from time to time.
When I get a chance, I'm going to try other schedulers to see if it makes a difference.
I'm still trying to understand why the F Lock button was reintroduced on some USB keyboards. I have to work with a few Microsoft and Logitech USB keyboards from time to time, and it is _very_ important to press the F Lock button so you can actually use the F keys normally... Why oh why!?!?
If you actually knew who lives in Greenwich, and how close it is to NYC, then you might guess as to why they are concerned about their safety. There are some VERY wealthy and powerful people who live there.
I don't think they should be special and prevent GIS data from being available to citizens though. I thought that the state was going to side with the researchers (not with the town).
I've seen a bunch of devices lately that transmit signals through the body in various ways. This one uses your bones to transmit audio. I'm wondering if they've done enough analysis to see what kinds of medical problems might pop up after prolonged use of this device. I wouldn't want rapid onset of osteoporosis to occur because of an MP3 player...

The last time SCO had a DDOS, did they figure out who did it? Is it possible that it was a test of the Mydoom payload?
Reading every day about how some (many?) spammers use hijacked computers, who would really be paying this tax?
