"investigating ways to ensure that ISPs retain records of a user's web activities to track down offenders"
So lets say, I provide wireless access to general public in my neighborhood for free, am I considered "ISP"? A blanket termed statement in laws like this makes me nervous time to time.
They conclude that 60 million Americans can be called "intellectually curious."
Total US Population: apx. 299,000,000 Literacy: 99% male/female age over 15 US Population within ages 15 - 64: Apx. ~200,500,000
Apx. 60,000,000 comes out to ~30% so called, "intellectually curious" among US population between ages of 15 - 64. Hence, 70% of the population is what you are asking about.
"Intellectually, I'm curious what that makes the rest of them."
If it wasn't a FUD or flame intended, I don't know what is.
With that type of strong statement, I would like to see the version to version, gcc build to gcc build, distro to distro, packages to packages, side by side comparison on what the hell was so "smoking" about the performance. Otherwise, that kind of statement just makes no sense. Until some solid benchmark and proof, this statement would be more fitting; "warm fuzzy feeling that things just magically pops up much faster on Ubuntu 6.06 than on FC5."
Most likely with your kernel-header issue, you must have skipped the kernel header install at Kernel Develop section of the package group installation. But for the most part, it's nothing serious enough to complain about. It's simple as `rpm -i/usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/kernel-devel-2.6.*.rpm` or `yum --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=base install kernel-devel`
For your evolution issue;
for i in `rpm -qa | grep -e evolu* -e bonobo -e libgnome`; do rpm -q --requires $i; echo; done
Now you see why it farts with errors because of "dependancies"? If you aren't aware of which package is required to be installed for evolution to work, it's probably the most safest bet to install every Gnome packages under the sun. And by you mean, default installation, you should be using evolution packaged for the FC{ver} you have installed, not any other test or FC{some_other_ver} by hacking around undesirable yum repos.
Don't get me wrong. This isn't Gnome specific. This also can be seen with KDE base as well. If you are well aware of all those dependancies, it's only natural to simply "yum --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=base --enablerepo=updates-released upgrade evolution" your distro in order to save time and fraustration.
(Although I'm using FC4+test, this should be close to your FC5 issue.) Now this may return error with "Error: Missing Dependency: libpisock.so.8 is needed by package evolution" at the end saying the file is missing or the package providing the file is not installed. If that is the case, we troubleshoot.:)
`whereis libpisock` This should return something like this; "libpisock:/usr/lib/libpisock.so/usr/lib/libpisock.a" Now we want to find out what package provides this with this command; `rpm -qf/usr/lib/libpisock.so` "pilot-link-0.12.0-0.pre4.0.fc4.2" Ha! So there, the dependancy is now bit more clear. In my case, the pilot-link package has been updated so this is natural since I have more recent package than what is required (evolution seeking libpisock.so.8 when I have libpisock.so.9, you do the math). Simplest way for "MY" case is to backport and face the grim reality of trying to resolve even more dependancies (in this case `rpm -q --whatrequires pilot-link` results in "gnome-pilot-2.0.13-2" having dependancy and the rabbit holes goes deeper when `rpm -q --whatrequires gnome-pilot` returns "evolution"!). Now I can just install (not update!) previous version of pilot-link package that provides libpisock.so.8 AFTER removing pilot-link-0.12.0-0.pre4.0.fc4.2 package with `rpm --nodeps -e pilot-link pilot-link-devel` to rid of the dependancy of file/usr/lib/libpisock.so.9.0.0 (the.so and.9 is just symlinks). Take note that I take this route to remove the package without checking dependancies and install old version because pilot-link package doesn't seem to have any dependant packages that I care about.

"Enough people like Skylarov have gone to jail for writing the wrong software"
He was the first to be prosecuted under US DMCA section 1201(b)(1)(A), prohibition on trafficking in a circumvention technology because FBI wasn't competent enough to know Sklyarov didn't own the software, but ElcomSoft did. Even Adobe realized the mistake later and asked for release of Sklyarov. But that is not to say that what ElcomSoft did was wrong. I am simply saying, Federal case against Sklyarov was dropped, and our legal system isn't perfect, however it's far from being a neo-authoritarian.

Seriously, Mr. Bruce Perens couldn't have written a better script for Syriana II. I'll be blunt. ODF and GNUv3 rabbit hole doesn't go any deeper than the usual Bostonian political scuffle. Given enough spare time to ponder about politics, even Boston's Big-Dig project could be tided to Microsoft somehow.
C'mon. We all know Microsoft's deep pocket reaches everyone, but the speculation forgets to mention that Open Source isn't some entity a political spinhead can control. For instance, IBM vs. SCO. Even if Linux kernel violated SCO's patent, could anyone really stop Linux kernel development? I believe in self-governing body where countability is on each and everyone who's involved. With or without multibillion corporations pushing their own agendas, people like Linus who cares less about politics or profit (except free beer) or even public's opinion, make Open Source possible.
Mr. Bruce Perens, to me, sounds bitter and impatient how ODF and Open Source is being adapted around the country, and the world.
