It runs Linux. This means you get the braindead Linux out-of-memory handling. Opera just asked for a bit more memory to render a web page? Pop! The text file you were editing has just been lost because the kernel picked the text editor app to kill.

Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
There are several reasons why a reset has not happened. One is because the geographical distribution of those who care enough about these issues is too uniform. Another is because the judiciary still functions well enough to give us occasional relief.
1. Starting with one-, two-, and three-syllable lines leaves the stanza generally sounding forced. 2. Once you get to 21-syllable lines, you've generally reached the limits of absurdity within good taste.
That leaves you with lines of 5, 8, and 13 syllables, and perhaps 3 or 21, if the circumstances are right. That just isn't as interesting as it initially looked.
That said, perhaps I should RTFP now, to actuallly see how well the writer got it to work.
And as pointed out in this post, you have failed to demonstrate that Freenet provides secure distribution channel suitable for commercial use. You can secure the distribution, but you cannot secure the payment.
I can now put "child pornography is okay because it provides evidence of abuse" on the frightening arguments pedestal.
That's not exactly what I was going for there. I was trying to say that it's not useful to actively supress the flow of information, because it doesn't affect the root of the problem; masking symptoms doesn't really cure any disease---and unlike the body fighting off influenza or the common cold, we shall not stop everything to allow an immune system to be overzealous in its destruction (i.e., we shall not become a police state).
(I'm probably repeating things that have already been said, but I need to say my piece.)
Certain people are going to do unsavory things to children regardless of whether or not they have an audience. I have always failed to see the extra harm done through dissemination of such material. Would you rather that no evidence be distributed, so that the children suffer in silence? Certainly the extra indignity is insignificant in comparison to the original act.
Truly, I do not understand. Do you somehow think that the urge to abuse children is somehow viral, and that child pornography will "infect" others?
Any way I look at it, all objections to Freenet seem to boil down to one of two things: 1. "By golly, we have to do something about all of this child pr0n!" 2. "I don't want to get in trouble with the authorities."
The problem with #1 is that there isn't anything you really can do about it, and any symbolic act has the effect of harming legitimate use. IANAL, but I think that since, by probability, there isn't necessarily anything illegal flowing through your node, you have plausible deniability. As long as you run it on computers for which you have permission to use in this way, it's unlikely that you will get in any trouble.
If you don't want to participate, then that's fine with me, but make sure that you remember that convincing others not to use Freenet provides no viable benefit to children under abuse and harms legitimate attempts to exercise free speech.
But it's precisely the idea that this technology can be so readily abused, and was born seemingly for the very purpose of being so abused, that makes me believe that it must come to a halt now, so that the implications can be further and more widely understood. But that's the very thing most pushing for its adoption seem to want to hide.
If it were under better circumstances, I might agree with you that it's OK for them to procede, and that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages; but that is not the case.
If you actually read what she wrote, she said that MS has positioned itself, despite the legit alibi, in such a way that it can easily interfere with the ISO standardization of ODF, and that she fears what might happen if MS does in fact do this.
However, all the articles I have read forget to make the distinction between "will" and "might" and "can". It's not intentional; rather, it is a symptom of the desire to use strong language in writing, especially journalistic writing.
I won't contest that PJ is a lot like ESR, in that she likes to pull the trigger. However, she does consciously mollify what she says with modifiers of uncertainty, and this is not conducive to traditional journalism.

A fine question, one which I have asked myself and have attempted to answer in times of boredom. A conservative count of those I have run across is 25 (excluding you and me) plus a few with (ahem) "related" interests, and this is only those whom I could trace to some unmistakable sign in the data given and the pages linked to.
Make that 26; I found another conclusive positive by accident.
I know I've seen other experimental works (i.e., having non-mammalian, non-avian, non-reptilian subjects), and let me tell you, the ones with insects are worse.:)
IIRC, "SuperFetch" has to do with predictive loading into memory from disk. Things like that are ostensibly handled by the virtual memory management system.

I mean, seriously, "SuperFetch"? It's bad enough when one hypes things that are actually hypable; it's much worse when one hypes that which cannot be hyped, such as virtual memory.

How about those of us who dropped not so much cash on such a system?
As long as I catch DDR1 prices at its lowest point (to reach 2GiB RAM total), my Opteron 165 @ 2.49 GHz system should cut it for a while.
It sounded to me more like you had been celebrating 4/20.
