certainly for the bulk of the classical catalog youtube is a good choice, I can find all the Beethoven piano sonatas with slideshows and a downlaod link for the mp3. pretty handy for me.
The phoronix test suite is a good profiler, at least it would narrow the search. But, as you observed, once you are down to the RAM and integrated devices what options do you really have expect to toss the mobo?
I suggest, based on my own recent experience, that you run up Centos 5.2, update the installation, then install Virtualmin GPL. None of this will cost a cent, it is all very high quality software with strong community support. This has enabled me to manage a web hosting server in a secure, efficient manner with very low effort. If you want experience I suggest you pursue GOOD experience, anyone can run up XP and wish they hadn't.
real good point. I'd be a lot more impressed by (repeat) news like this if there as a link to a place where I could buy any of this. This film solar looks an awful lot like vaporware...
So are they leaving because it would be inconvenient in bankruptcy proceedings to have people around who actually understood the financial shenanigans the firm has been up to?
I don't see how this is a mistake for MS. They get to harvest lotsa $ for the upgraders to the new version. Nice opportunity for the free software community to offer no-cost alternatives, too, if the will is there.

As a Canadian voter, I recommend the system in use here. All balloting is done with a pencil on paper ballots. All ballot boxes are brought sealed to a central tally point. One Elections Canada staff member counts the ballots. Every candidate has the right to appoint one scrutineer. Any scrutineer can contest any ballot. Any member of the public is entitled to watch the ballots being counted.
I can't remember there ever being the kind of nonsense that Diebold has regularly caused.

I don't know the current state of affairs in the US, I live in Canada.
Years ago I found that it was the policy of the US government that if software was developed with public funding it had to be made available to the public. Agencies were able to charge a nominal fee to cover the cost of distribution, mag tapes at that time.
I requested a listing of available software and was told that as a non-resident my access was restricted. Moreover the policy was under review and I would be kept informed if access was opened up.
Well, imagine my surprise when, after an interval of six months, I got a great whacking 132 column high speed line printer listing of some tens of thousands of software titles I could have!
Among the offerings was a complete telemetry and launch control system for large satellite vehicles and a custom real time operating system for an IBM mainframe. At the time this was mind-boggling stuff. I did not actually have occasion to use any launch control software, but it was a giddy idea.
Does anyone know the current state of affairs in this regard?

Well, also its worth taking a look at the idea of production cost. Marginal cost of production is, simply put, the difference in cost to produce the first copy of Windows X and the additional cost of producing the second. All development cost, manufacturing development, documentation, programming, general management have to be incurred to get the first copy out the door. The marginal cost in this case is much different than, say, auto manufacturing, where there are very substantial material and manufacturing costs associated with every unit produced. What's the cost of the Nth CD of Windows? Ten cents? Something like that. But the pricing model has to take into account all the sunk cost to get to that point, too. Microsoft is a good performer in managing its cost, but still, and even in a situation where the marginal cost tends to zero, Microsoft's profits are the result of monopolism, not competition. They were charged and found guilty of it in fact.
Has she gone to the police and charged the store with possession of stolen goods? That should light a little fire under them. Especially if they have already been flagrantly flouting the law.
Open source by itself is never enough, Ken Thompson has more *nix experience than ANYONE and he says,
"The moral is obvious. You can't trust code that you did not totally create yourself. (Especially code from companies that employ people like me.) No amount of source-level verification or scrutiny will protect you from using untrusted code. In demonstrating the possibility of this kind of attack, I picked on the C compiler. I could have picked on any program-handling program such as an assembler, a loader, or even hardware microcode. As the level of program gets lower, these bugs will be harder and harder to detect. A well installed microcode bug will be almost impossible to detect."
