And if they are anything like as bad at protecting our data as the British government, they don't even need to be bribeable officials. They just need to send your hdd image by ordinary mail and have it get lost in transit.
I think the answer has to be to invent a completely new messaging system where we learn from the mistakes in email, and don't bother about backwards compatibility.
People would get whatever certificates etc they need from their messaging provider which would be a similar person to their existing email provider.
The problem of course is persuading people to use it, and people won't use it if nobody else is using it.
A 13" screen is much better than a 5" screen if you want to do wordprocessing and so on. You get a much bigger hard drive, and with Parallels/Bootcamp and Fink/MacPorts, you can run just about any program out there.
Yahoo Mail is the market leader in personal email and messaging, with Hotmail a close 2nd. Flickr is way ahead of Google and Live in photo sharing. Yahoo Finance is the leader in its field. In the UK, Kelkoo is one of the leading price comparison sites, but behind uswitch, moneysupermarket and mysupermarket.
I use Yahoo for lots of things, just not its search engine.
It lets them know where to look to find other evidence. Then they just tell the court they found the evidence and here it is. They don't have to say what prompted them to look there.
I use it. I tried all four a few years back and decided ReiserFS was the best.
I'm not going to reformat my disks in some other format, but next time I get a new computer and put a new distro on it, I will have to think carefully about whether or not I continue using ReiserFS if it isn't supported.
I think it is very different because Namesys Inc is very much Hans Reiser. Without him, it isn't worth anything. He did try to sell it, but nobody was interested in buying it.
People would pay Namesys for support contracts, but only because they were getting the skills and expertise of Hans Reiser. Without that, there is nothing to buy.
With Microsoft, Bill Gates is important - look how much worse they are doing now that he is pretty much retired, but there are other people there. And of course, Bill Gates isn't in prison. Microsoft just got a large fine.
But the purpose of the SSL certificate isn't really to stop interception of data en route. It is to tell you whether or not the site you are visiting really belongs to who they say it belongs to.
I get emails every other day trying to persuade me to that they are from Natwest Bank or Halifax Bank and I should visit their site to enter my security details. This is a major problem, and that's why we have these error pages.
But how are they doing compared to Intel, Via, ARM etc? That's what matters. There may well be a recession in America, and to a lesser extent (so far anyway) in Europe, but that is nothing compared to the huge market increases in India and China

A delay of around a minute is fine though. That would be completely unacceptable for a voice call.
It is also pretty unique in charging you to receive calls and texts.
I'd go for the Babbage Difference Engine in the London Science Museum.
apps.google.com lets you set up gmail on your own domain name. You will be blocking all those people.
Also, for people in England, you will have to allow googlemail.com. Google isn't allowed to use gmail here as someone else owns the trademark.

Apple seem quite happy to include CUPS in MacOS.

And Americans tend to swap the currency signs when pricing things for sale over here ...
Nearer $1170 these days actually. The US$ isn't worth as much as it used to be worth.

And if spending an extra $2 here means they save $75 on the MS tax (or whatever OEM copies cost these days), then they will do it.
Why not? They see how popular the eeepc is, and want to get in on it.
To prevent a possible man-in-the-middle attack.

PGP may stop them from knowing what you are saying, but as far as I'm aware, it doesn't stop them knowing who you are saying it to.
In some cases, knowing who you are talking to could be enough, and more important than what you are actually saying.

OpenBSD has a calendar driven release cycle - ie every 6 months. Seems to work fine for them.
It's certainly the year of linux on the laptop, if eeepc sales are anything to go by.
Office 2008 does have a menu bar with things mostly where you would expect them to be (on a mac).

An Eee is still a bit big for shopping lists. I use my iPaq for that sort of thing.
The bit that means that wine doesn't really run anything useful other than Office 2000 standard edition, which ooo can effectively replace anyway.
