Default Ubuntu eats RAM like a rabbit in the carrot garden.
Not really, it's difficult to find new computers that come with less than 1GB of RAM these days and Ubuntu doesn't really eat that up at all.
a customized installation of any Linux is swapping less (without changing sysctl values).
I already mentioned when removing various things didn't seem to gain increased performance. I measure performance by how fast it takes to perform a task and when it takes several seconds extra to output pages in a PHP based CMS on a optimized setup running on ubuntu-server verses an OpenBSD where the configurations were replicated exactly, website content and databases and it loaded in 0.325s (according to fasterfox).
Any installation of OpenBSD should be compared with a customized installation as you with OpenBSD have only the base tools and then add what you need with pkg_add.
Which in my tests didn't make Ubuntu that much faster.
Fun fact: I hate OpenBSD's userland and would prefer Ubuntu's ease of use in it. I am also not very fond of certain related communities involved in OpenBSD so please do not consider me to be a OpenBSD zealot.
I am too lazy to create an account to write this, so i write as AC. While I am a BSD guy, I definitely have to disagree that OpenBSD is faster than Linux on a single core system. Indeed, performance is my biggest complain about OpenBSD. In an old laptop with 256 Mb RAM, Linux gets a lot more performance. OpenBSD is swapping and doing it really slow, making the whole computer act like frozen for some seconds. And that really often. I would say that OpenBSD might be faster with a lot of memory, but not where the memory is limited.
I have found the opposite. Comparing Ubuntu and OpenBSD.
Ubuntu-server will certainly be more likely to swap out of the box, after removing a bunch of daemons to make room for whatever it is you wish to do under 256MB of RAM, in Ubuntu server, I have still found OpenBSD will handle the same task better.

Comparing the latest OpenBSD to the Ubuntu Server, what are the security advantages of OpenBSD that would warrant it's usage over Ubuntu Server?
A far more secure kernel. User-land wise, there is a lot of manual configuration to get things right which Ubuntu just does out of the box.
Ubuntu Server home page boasts quite a lot of security features and I presume it's faster than OpenBSD as well.
OpenBSD is certainly faster on a single core system on a dual core system the difference is not as apparent unless running extremely high loads. Hardware support on the other hand - When it supports your hardware, it supports it really well. When it doesn't support it, you're out of luck.
And then I use SSH to my friend in Korea and connect from his computer to a mail server (using SSL and TLS ) in Norway, from which I send Kapersky an e-mail saying "Fuck you bastard!". Now what?
The e-mail is automatically filtered into the junk folder by Bayesian filtering?
n order to actually enforce what he is suggesting you would have to effectively ban or censor all private individuals and companies from using protocols not endorsed by the government
Considering the Internet is IP based you could use a look up system based on... IP numbers like this thing called "whois". Then you could actually list information on the user in the whois database. Seems simple to me, no need to do mess with protocols and such. ISPs would likely just be mandated to link account information to whois records and I don't see that being a problem, even dynamically.
I figure a more interesting question is what information should be displayed? The login name the person uses on the ISP? Real name? etc.
We are talking about putting a person in jail, depriving them of their liberty, because of the click of a button.

You see, on these disks we have frozen in time The creativity of someone's mind! Do you think, that because, with a flick of a key You can copy that game, that the work is free? This creativity, we protect it by law1 We value so highly, what the mind's eye saw Don't copy! Don't copy that floppy!
D-D-Do-Do-Don't...Don't copy.. Don't copy that floppy!
To do the right thing, it's really simple for you. The copyright law, it will tell you what to do! Buy one, for every computer you use. Anything else is like going to the store Taking the disk, and walking out the door It's called thiefin', stealin', taking what's not yours Is that really where you want your life to go? Think about it, I don't think so. Don't copy! Don't copy that floppy!
Yes, because the rest of the science fiction shows, such as Stargate and Star Trek really do science justice.
I found far more logic following them - A rather consistent universe. That said, there are always exceptions, plot holes and such. I found Fringe was just over doing it completely.
Sorry, I don't understanding what the problem is with websites?
From a gateway point of view: Intercept all IPv4 packets to port 80, 443. Pass it to a ipv6 enabled squid proxy that then looks up the IPv6 address of a website etc from the "host:" header sent via the client.
What about netbooks running 32-bit CPUs? Those will all be declared incompatible with Windows 7, even though 32-bit Windows 7 will run on them? I think I must be missing something.
You are, this certification is for peripherals not for the machine Windows 7 runs on.
Also please consider the lack of the NTVDM, and WOW, so my old 16 bit code will not run. To this day I still have a few old 16 bit applications on my system, and I fully expect them to run just fine, to the point where if I were running a 64 bit Windows, I would actually be surprised that they do not run.
16bit applications don't even work on Windows Vista 32bit.
I am aware of issues with software like Microsoft Exchange which will corrupt mail databases if it gets a I/O wait error (drivers aren't supposed to do this, but common in a lot of drivers) rather than the driver just pausing all I/O for the hardware involved to keep up. Running Exchange in a VM gets around this annoyance.
Then there is hardware that doesn't support certain OSes correctly, (ie: win2k) which maybe the only OS a certain product will run on (due to the product requiring you to buy another license to run it on a different version of an OS or it simply has problems with the OS due to the need to use something like a 16bit application).
Nor do they want to pay $1000 for a PC rig to play the advanced games.
Believe it or not, you can lower the graphics quality to make games playable even on a EeePC - How do I know this? I've played games like Team Fortress 2, Bioshock on a EeePC 701 and had a very good time. Infact, the only games I had a problem with running on the EeePC was X3: Terran conflict and Lost Planet: Extreme Condition.

Sure they do, you have to buy a seperate copy of a game for Windows, the PS3, the xbox 360, the Wii and the DSi. This is no different.

Technically a login name isn't anonymous.
Since LL like charging 100USD more with each class upgrade they provide, I definitely cannot afford that.

Going to work or doing some work after?

Is suspension considered to be a ban? This sounds very carefully worded to me.
It's one region per core. Homesteads and Openspaces are known to be something around 16 regions per server.
Voice chat isn't handled by LL and text relies on the simulator you're on.
As a region owner and estate manager on a few sims. I find this to be a "hopeful" statistic.
Use it as a paper weight, Microsoft won't be able to detect this illegal modification!
I found far more logic following them - A rather consistent universe. That said, there are always exceptions, plot holes and such. I found Fringe was just over doing it completely.
I found the majority of content on that show was indistinguishable from randomized magic, including the explanations.
It seemed more like fantasy when I watched it and I hate fantasy.
I don't see ISPs having a problem with that.

Ray tracing can be done on a 386. It'll just take a very, very long time.
I don't see a problem with reimplementing ray tracing for the Amazon cloud being a problem.
Son.. You're old enough now to become a.. Pokemon master!
We spent year reverse engineering the technology, but now you can become a Pokemon master thanks to advances in modern pirate technology.
Easy? How long did it take them to figure out how to get Linux on the 360 again?
