Business Class:
"You can also access built-in Microsoft Office software that allows you to create documents....."
How are they using Microsoft Office in REDHAT? Is this some Mistake? Or, are they using Windows Vista for Business class?

1- If you don't like the theme, you are completely free to switch to one of your choosing at http://addons.mozilla.org./
2- Marginal anti-phishing support is still safer than none at all, which is what users would have if they stuck with the 1.5 line.
3- The options dialog had to be redesigned in order to make room for all the new features. If you wish to give up anti-phishing, spell-checking, and session restore just to get the old options dialog back, so be it. Of course, real pros use about:config.
4- Extensions are third-party add-ons, and Mozilla has no obligation to ensure support for any of them. In fact, it's wiser for Mozilla to maintain the current setup, because automatically allowing extensions from earlier in Firefox history might cause bugs and even holes in newer versions. However, if you NEED those unsupported extensions, you are fully within your rights to unzip them yourself and make them compatible.
5- You are correct that the memory leak remains an issue, and it in fact will likely not be fixed until version 3.0. However, memory has actually been improved on the 2.0 branch, and you're only hurting your readers by making them stay on the 1.5 branch.
6- The Gecko engine is superior in standards compliance to the 1.5 branch. Any sites that don't work are a result of faulty designers designing them for compatibility with Internet Explorer. Since Microsoft has no desire to fix this issue, the only way to fight this is by encouraging further adoption of alternate browsers.
7, 8- These are actually valid concerns. Nice.
9- While the opinions of one blog is nice, the RSS support of 2.0 is fully functional as it is. In fact, more reputable sources (such as Wired) have noted that the RSS is actually superior to Internet Explorer 7 in that Firefox 2.0 offers even more options to the user for RSS than IE7.
Trivial concerns are no reason to avoid upgrading to superior security, memory management, and features. Have a nice day.

So if a tech-unsavy person is uploading while downloading as part of the protocol, s/he is likely not intending to infringe copyright in the uploading, and therefore likely not guilty of an infringement.
However, the downloading itself may be an infringement, and by virtue of clicking the link, you have shown intention (though shown, it's not proven; accidental clicking, etc.).
Incidentally, I do not know what would happen if you were downloading a copyrighted movie you already own (fair use/dealing), and you were aware of the uploading. In that case you may be infringing copyright, but at the same time exercising your right to a backup, though to exercise that right through the bittorrent protocol, the only means of acquiring a backup given the DVD copy protection, you must redistribute and inherently infringe portions of the copyright.

Exactly how many days does it take to move all the government buildings? Any stupid Terrorist knows that, there is no single country who moves their governing or sensitive building every spring-break. If this is the case, The White House should be around somewhere in Alaska.
Am I the only person who is tired of the rhetoric "Since September 11th, each and every American's life has changed"? For those outside of the goverment, and particularly the military, has it really? Certainly we have mangled the Bill of Rights beyond recognition, but am I the only one whose reaction to the 2nd attack on the WTC was "well, it finally happened?" And the notion that using commercial airliners as weapons was unthought of? Given that Tom Clancy is a best selling author, the odds that no one in US security infrastructure read about that scenario is close to zero.

No one cares about security until they get burned. Once burned the battle cry goes for awhile and fizzles as most don't give a rats ass about security beyond looking politically correct. It is why so many sites and users get hacked.
And here is a hint, most get hacked from the inside out, that is - some twit loads a spyware or malicious program and claims ignorance when it happens. More like carelessness but management often overlooks it.
Safe computing is like safe sex, use some precaution and don't be a slut and download everything you can click on.
0.3% of GDP on Windows licences! Are you having a proverbial "laugh"?
UK GDP - source Google - $ 1,782,000,000,000
0.3% of UK GDP = $5,346,000,000 or $5.4bn
I'm sure the UK spends a lot on Windows. But bear in mind that Microsoft's total annual revenues are only about $40bn, of which roughly half is client (Windows XP, etc.) and server (Windows 2003 Server). (In fact this over-states total Windows licenses, as there is also SQL Server, etc. in there.) But even on a best case, you're saying that the UK buys more than a quarter of all Microsoft Windows licenses. In fact, what you're really doing is making up sprurious statistics to get some temporary kudos.
Next item of absurdity: "the United Kingdom spends 0.3% of GDP on it's transport infrastructure". Really? Source please. Of course there is no source, because this is a ridiculous made up number. Lets go to the UK Office of National Statistics: oh! it turns out that the UK government (excluding what is spent by private industry) spends, da da, £20bn on transport infrastructure. (Which, at today's exchange rate is about $35bn, or around 2% of GDP.)
