So you are telling that Debian distribution is more suitable for Desktop needs than Ubuntu? Or just it is stable because all packages are three year old?
Yep, Ubuntu!=Linux same as Linux!=Desktop.
Well, this release has everything, except quality. Unless quality is new art. Using 10.04 as a Desktop is serious pain. I hope that it will be at least as stable as windows soon as currently I have to answer myself everyday "So, mr linux lover guy - what is the reason you are using linux as a desktop again?"
There is no safeguarding against brute force attacks when the attacker has physical access to the PC.
Most of the time attacker is your friendly colleague, who just wants to install some game to play after working hours.
Most NTLM hashes can be found in few minutes. Have you ever heard about rainbow tables? There is even live cd - you reboot the machine, pop in cd/usb, and voila. Don't kid yourself. www.ethicalhacker.net/content/view/94/24/
We had such rule in the company I've been working for - when you requested new password from the IT, you would get name of the month, year and @, for example April@2010. Saved some thinking.
Btw, your password would be brute-forced in few minutes.
/me happy - i hope this will spark developments of such services like tor, etc - it will be faster (more users using) and improved (due to more feedback from users).
I've worked with various companies at the past and one of the main reasons why software projects fail is lack of attitude of people involved in the process. Even brightest analysts, developers, managers etc give up fighting over time, resources or trying to change the flow and in one point they say "yeah, whatever". Then we have simple human problem - when they need to work as a group, they think that they've already failed (that manager is a dick, project will fail again. Yeah, whatever) and then we do not even try to improve situation, meaning - we have lost battle without even fight. Of course, it is very difficult to manage humans, but at least execs could try hiring more HR pros, instead of counting money (which have not been earned yet). Everyone talks about customer needs, satisfaction and motivation of talents that work in the company, but basically no one gives a shit for real, so maybe they are doom to fail and it is not such a bad thing anyway.
"...A worrisome sign is that the brightest students from many Asian countries are staying home to get their Ph.D.s rather than coming to America, as they did in rising numbers until the mid-1990s..."
"...Perhaps worse, those who still come to America for their Ph.D.s--arguably the best of the best--are returning home in increasing numbers. In economies like China's or India's, growing two or three times faster than America's, elite students see huge opportunities. Even foreign nationals well established in the U.S. are heading home. "Many of my friends are going back," says professor Godwin Wong of Berkeley's Haas School of Business. "They're leaving big corporate jobs here because they can make more money in China."

will it attract enough flies?

I would be happy if at least IT staff would have such computer competency test.
