The OS X Shareware you mentioned, which allows Bluetooth-Phones to remotley control your Mac is correctly spelled: Salling Clicker. That said, there's also a GPL'd one available. It's called Romeo http://www.irowan.com/romeo/ and I am happily controlling VLC/Mplayer from my armchair.
That's quite true. Over the years I bought dozens of different RAM-types, quite often rather cheap. About 10% of the RAM was defective in one or another way, often I noticed it only months laters, when the machine starts to behave peculiar. But having been through a lot trouble I just run memtest for two or three days after purchasing new RAM. Good thing i have a couple of spare machines. Troubleshootingwise i tend to blame RAM a lot more then some years ago.
can be a funny thing... Nowhere else you'll find a sucessfull and innovative company compared to a Soviet grocery store, like Real's CEO did. So as a linux-using Communist (in the words of Mr. Ballmer of MS-Fame) I now can buy music in a Soviet Grocery Store located in the USA. Did I miss anything in the Cold War?
Since years I looked at computer hardware purchases in this way: It's a tool that gets used and i pay for being able to get work done, not for letting my pretty powerbook sit idle and watch its value crumble. So it costs me e.g. 100$ a month, which are wisely spent if the computer improves my life/workday. This gives you less headache if a new one with better specs is introduced (unless you need every bit of performance). Just another expense, like rent, transport, good tasting apples, food, medical, etc.
True, but it my Cable-ISP doesn't allow any "server"-services, including ssh. So port will only 22 open when I need it. Most customers don't care anyway.

goto in linux kernel code is not considered harmful. Linus said so in 2003!
Somebody should patent the patent process. Quite possibly the only way to screw it up more.
The patent office already patented the process.
