As much as I love Incubus, I'd hardly classify them as "hard rock."
When I think hard rock, bands like Metallica (Black Album era) and ACDC come to mind.
Maybe that's just me, though.
I think regardless of how we see this (a late-bloomer, a formality of shifting from unstable to stable, etc.), we can all agree that this only adds to the already competitive market and, hopefully, can detract some of that market away from MS Server.
Although it's great that Debian's finally on the x86_64 bandwagon, it's a bit delayed. They've lost a lot of share to other distros that have been able to adapt to 64-bit computing such as SuSE, RedHat, Ubuntu, Gentoo, etc. Coming from an era in which Debian was one of the top three distros, it'd be a pretty impressive testament to the Debian community if they can resurrect it to near its former glory.
I hope the NSA wiretap logs are being secured under similar conditions. It would be supremely ironic if the computers holding those records/logs were infiltrated. Even more so if those data fell into the hands of those that the act against whom the act was supposed to defend us.
Assuming it were true that the 2k/XP version of Windows keeps the nasties out better than pre-2k environments, where do you draw the line? If one really wanted to keep the nasties out, he/she could just not use a Windows OS altogether.
This is about convenience and the exorbitant prices of licenses on Windows OS's. Sure, it's inconvenient to switch to *nix (for example), but then so would upgrading from Windows 95/98 to 2k/XP for those who don't want to pay for the license or for the less technologically-savvy (for whom the upgrade process may be beyond).
Of course, this is assuming that the less tech-savvy will not obtain a pirated version of Windows.

It's actually just a series of tubes, and it's definitely not a dump truck.
You forgot de_dust (or, my personal favorite, aztec)!

I believe this is what the thread on which you meant to post.
I'm surprised there's no "itsatrap" tag yet...
