I have just finished installing Samba4 alpha6 on my network (I already have LDAP+Kerberos set up). I can say that it's pretty impressive.
I was able to setup it as AD controller and join my notebook to it without a problem, single sign-on and ability to SSH into my Linux servers without entering login/password also rocks. AD management tools also work just fine. And Samba4 setup actually was not that scary at all:)
I'd say that in ~1 year we'll really have nice working replacement of Exchange+AD, compatible with legacy Windows clients.
It's easy to teleport photons - it's the basis of quantum cryptography for which we now even have commercial applications. I believe current record is about 1000km.
However, in this experiment scientists have teleported the state of an _atom_ using photons as intermediary quantum information carriers.
It has 170mWt power consumption during MP3 playback. There's no way you can do this on a general-purpose CPU, it has to contain hardware accelerators. Unfortunately, their architecture diagram is under NDA.
Also, since PortalPlayer designed CPUs for iPods, it's certainly possible that they have included their mp3 decoding IP-core on the same die with the ARM CPU.
Don't worry. Ukraine is going to split into several parts real soon or at least become a federation. And then you'll be able to call it "the Ukraine" again.:)
Additionally, FSB and GRU _already_ have their own Linux distribution: MSVS ("Mobilnaya Systema dla Vooruzhionnyh Sil" - "Mobile System for Armed Forces"). It's thoroughly audited and used for top-secret projects.
Oh, and it's based on Linux (on ancient version of RedHat).
10. FireFox already has QT build (http://browser.garage.maemo.org/news/10/ff3qt.png). Thunderbird will be easy to port, since libxul is already ported. 9. Who cares about WebKit? I have never seen anyone using Konqueror or Epiphany. 8. GIMP must die. KDE has Krita. 7. That's a problem. 6. Pidgin is dying (mainly because its developers can't find their asses with both hands), Empathy is slowly replacing it even in GNOME. Kopete is maturing very fast. 5. Scribus. 4. So? 3. That's already changing. 2. Not by much.
1. Well, GNOME vs. KDE is now certainly going to ignite flamewars on the scale of virtual WWII:)

Uhm... Who talks about 'rebounding'?
Mwahahaha!!!
Well, you're wrong (I'm Russian, BTW).
Russians are not very hypersensitive about _everything_. Only about things in which Russia was the best :)
All engineers here realize that USSR was far behind in electronics/computing - "Soviet microcomputers are the biggest microcomputers in the world!"
USSR _did_ have successful computers using ternary math: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Setun
Unfortunately, it was abandoned in favor of copying foreign binary computers :(

OK.
I admit I was wrong and you're right.

PP chips _contained_ hardware decoders.
It need not to be 'hidden', it can just be inside the CPU chip.
First generations of iPods _did_ use hardware decoders from PortalPlayer - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PortalPlayer
Also, since PortalPlayer designed CPUs for iPods, it's certainly possible that they have included their mp3 decoding IP-core on the same die with the ARM CPU.
You mean "a low-profile circular filing cabinet"?
Also, look at pressed duck ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressed_duck ) - it is disgusting, because ducks are slowly strangled to retain blood.
MP3 players now mostly use hardware decoders, because they are much cheaper and energy-efficient than CPU decoding.
EFI allows lightning-fast boot.
First, you can put your kernel in EFI (if there's enough flash) and boot it directly from there.
Second, EFI itself is pretty much efficient - you have access to lots of RAM, CPU works in protected mode, etc.
It's quite possible to have 1 second until kernel startup with EFI. Almost like on my 166Mhz MIPS board :)
For example, to run KOffice on Windows. Or Amarok2.
Also, given that QT is soon going to be LGPL - I feel very interested in contributing to KDE and using parts of KDE in my proprietary programs.
But remember, Chicken Little needs to be right only once...
In a perfect NIMBY world we'd be hunting with wooden spears.
But they can make you warm, fuzzy and positively glowing!

Data on flash cards decay in about 5 years _maximum_. So good CDs are guaranteed to last much longer.
I know for a fact that some versions of Flight Simulator were developed by external company.
Actually, I'm curious when they brought development back in-house.
win-die ?
What for?

It's certainly possible to use anti-debugging tricks, if they do not interfere with linked libraries.
In practice, shareware authors can (and do) legally use anti-cracking protectors with their own code if they do not interfere with LGPL libraries.
In any case, anti-circumvention prohibitions in EULAs are the most stupid clauses...
Frankly, I hope that GNOME+GTK die a quick death.

Notice the words "for debugging such modifications".
It pretty much means that your users are allowed to attach to your process with GDB to debug their libraries and that's about it.
