Don't forget to check the list of 25 almost great PC of all time you might be surprised to find that many of those people are complaining about being missing (including the NeXT box) show up there,
Wouldn't it be possible for the government to simply buy computers from a "retail" source (like say CDW) instead of direct from Lenovo. Then in order for them to be "bugged" they'd have to bug all the computers (since it wouldn't be known which ones are going to the government).
Of course an argument could be made that it would cause more damage for the bugs to be in Boeing, or Intel, or Scandia Labs, or 100 other places with sensitive data.
Truly, the whole idea is silly. but it would cost very little to buy a bunch of PC and monitor them, take them apart, etc. to verify their security.
Yahoo has offered small business email hosting for years. See http://smallbusiness.yahoo.com/email
I use it for my business for all the reasons discussed. They handle spam well, they are always up, I don't need software, can get to my email from anywhere (including my cell phone).
What's not to like.
Now, Yahoo really deletes things when I say delete, I like that. Gmail wants to keep everything around. That might pose a liability risk.

Not only are we geeky enough to watch all the movies in one day, we have a web site about it.
(Yes, there were even girls there... well a few)
Peter Jackson has said clearly that he doesn't like the scouring of the Shire and that it would not be included.
The script wasn't written, the scenes weren't shot, it's not going to happen
Besides, do you really want the end of the move to be any L O N G E R ?
OK, we did this just yesterday.
We had a party for Bilbo's Birthday (9/22 of course) and screened all three movies (the first two in extended editions, the third in theatrical release) We started at 8AM, took short intermissions (at the changing of the disks) and meal breaks in between (including a lambas bread bake-off) and finished at 11PM. I must say it was exhausting. I don't know if we'd have made it with the extra 50 min.
You are thinking that we are major LOtR geeks and you'd be right (3-4 hobbit costumes in the bunch) but we had 20 - 30 people in the house to watch it. Everyone had a great time.

Actually, if you were a college professor, I would have to hope that you knew the difference between "were" and "where"
Improved step 3
Of course this is a pretty free-market approach for a bunch of lefty professors.
I don't look forward to the return of "Active Desktop" and predict it will be just as popular this time around as it was last time.
OK, the UI isn't super great, but the CTA/RTA has had this for years. See http://tripsweb.rtachicago.com/ I use it all the time.
