You're half-right. The real issue is more that people are paranoid that Freddie the Freeloader on the bus is all boozed up and/or sweaty and/or planning to mug them... whether or not that is actually really the case.
The OS itself may live past the 2038 32-bit time_t rollover, but the same cannot be said about all mission-critical apps that may be running on top of the Linux OS.
Or any OS, for that matter.
And now a bit of topical humor so this post isn't purely an exercise in pointing out the obvious:
"Every day is a long day, because 86400 seconds won't fit in a short."
I'm not so thrilled with it. I never liked the idea of cable internet, as a matter of fact: the Internet side is a substitute for their TV business (and becoming more so), so there's an incentive for them to abuse monopoly powers to be anti-competitive and do their best shut out new innovators in the market (like Apple Video Store and Youtube and Hulu and whatnot). With telco internet, mind you, they've got incentive to mess with your VOIP, but in practice I think VOIP is somewhat more resilient to being messed with...
Silly. Nobody pays $30,000 a year to get a liberal arts degree... They pay $30,000 a year for their children to get a liberal arts degree. Because they have $30,000 just sitting around.
Or you get tuition assistance / scholarships / etc.
We do NOT want to encourage the establishment of a nuclear infrastructure in commercial hands.
Oh, no. That would be Truly Terrible. We'll just leave it in the safe, responsible, competent, caring hands of the US government and military, who are always looking out for our best interests as citizens.;)
But if poor people spend a greater portion of their income on things affected by sales tax than rich people, then it is regressive, in reality, even if it's not under the law. This is perhaps why in many states there is no sales tax on basic staples as Food.
Whether or not a given sales tax is regressive is a function of all sorts of spending patterns, which are not trivially analyzed.
One way or another, though, you have to realize: Wikipedia's threshhold for notability is at least a million billion trillion times laxer than the one on Britannica.
As for the "shadowy elite": Name three influential Britannica editors. You can use an online handle nickname-thing if you want.
But if the government is doing all sorts of borrowing, then they're competing with all the other people who would like to borrow, and that does impact the economy. It raises the (real) cost of borrowing money. And, especially in today's economic climate, where it is so very difficult to borrow money and government bonds are nice and safe (... well, by comparison...) it's a real drain on economic growth - how much is hard to gauge exactly, but it's still a very real effect.
Linus Torvalds is a god damn thief!!! When I installed Linux it asked me for my credit card number. Two days later I got a call from Wachovia...
Stop! I see the problem right there. Wachovia. They'll walk all ova' ya.
And with the recent acquisition, I must say, they're a perfect match for Wells Fargo. Last I checked neither of the two believed in paying interest on savings accounts.
Everyone can consider themself the center of the universe, and it's perfectly fair, and all the math works out. People keep expecting some sort of silly ultimate reference frames. Sorry.
Alternatively, one can magick up an explanation of temporospatial momentum preservation (and have the time-travelling object interacts with the universe around it by means of gravity so that it can follow the same orbit forward in time, and what-not).
Really, Galileo got in trouble with the Church not because they were "wackjob creationists" but rather because of a) violating certain (obsolete) teaching standards at his university - a small tragedy, but you probably would be skeptical if you were the dean and one of your physics profs started going on about the electric universe or cold fusion too - and more importantly b) he wrote a book which poked fun at important people who were wrong and called them stupid by proxy, thereby insulting the honor of important political figures (i.e. the Pope, who really should have been a step or two above typical 17th-century Italian politics but apparently wasn't).
I think there's more of a Science-and-Politics lesson here than a Science-and-Religion one. Of course, neither the anti-religious lobbies nor the Protestant lobby really figure they have much to gain by going into detail and making distinctions beyond calling "Galileo!" (galileo, figaro) whenever it's convenient. People might actually learn something about history if they did that, or even Society. We wouldn't want that to happen, would we now?
Oh, sure, it's a windfall for the repair guys, but it's a real loss to the people who own and operate computers. A drain on the economy. Nothing of value was created. So don't bring up any broken window fallacies or anything...

You think that's crazy-awesome, try the zombie head on a stick!

It wouldn't cover the "man with an antenna" attack, the first one describe in the article. The femtocell location is also probably easy to determine.
Airplanes already make a significant amount of noise. What good do you really think adding some supersonic whatevermajig will do?
Or any OS, for that matter.

A: Unlike Microsoft, our products don't generally suck all that much.

They didn't need to wait for this, and there's already a stop the music torture initiative.
Dude. Learn how to spell stimulus.
The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Why is working for yourself virtuous?

Some managers' companies stay in business during hard times because the company does solid work. Some managers' companies have more trouble...

How are chorded systems like that for coding, when it's not just English you're typing?
