Hmm, that's funny. Around here were I work, we don't drink the Microsoft or Apple Kool-Aid.
You realize that once you break that initial vendor lock-in, there is no 'compatibility with the outside world' that matters? Why stick with what the 'outside world' does, when what the 'outside world' does is wrong?
Phrased another way:
Why continue pounding square blocks through round holes, just because that's what everyone else continues to do? It's still wrong.
This is all simply because they don't need to bother looking for you, there are plenty of others on 22. As well, if you know enough to change the port, you probably are resistant to brute-force attacks.
In short, you are not the intended target anyways.
Now, if everyone started doing it, they would do what they needed to hit the low-hanging-fruit again. Once again - you are not the intended target.
You are not crazy, and they aren't 60hz either. It's an interesting interaction between normal eye/brain physiology and high-frequency 'flickering' from the switching power supply.
Saccadic masking, also known as visual saccadic suppression, is the phenomenon in visual perception where the mind selectively blocks visual processing during eye movements in such a way that neither the motion of the eye (and subsequent motion blur of the image) nor the gap in visual perception is noticeable to the viewer.
Your eyes move extremely fast. Your brain normally shuts your eyes "off" when they are moving, this is called a saccade.
That 250khz flash rate that the above poster mentioned, while fast enough to be seen as solid when looked at, is not fast enough to appear solid to a moving eye.
In effect, the high-frequency strobing tricks your brain into aborting a normal saccade and you will see the pulse points as your eye moves. Normally this would be invisible, and your brain would 'interpolate' the difference in images (giving the blur effect).
I had one with a rather horrid VIA hyperion chipset. If ever I wanted to use DMA mode on both IDE channels, crashes and corruption would result in minutes.
CD (or hard drive) access in PIO mode is quite... bad.
Serifs are easier to read on paper as the eye can follow the font easier due to the visual definition of each letter and the apparent line along the base of words.
This is subjective. In print, I personally find sans-serif fonts easier to read and more pleasing.
Some applications run children over and over very fast. Windows installers often doing that. We do that on purpose in the linux world... think how often those simple command line tools are used in scriptlike situations?
That trivial 4-second delay snowballs into hours of wait-time in such a situation.
This may not yield to a product. It is just a Patent. So if apple does come up with a 3D desktop no one else can sue them stating it is theirs.
And anyone else who might come up with it in the event that Apple fails... is fucked, and by extension we all are (because the only one who can, is the one who didn't).

I presume you've heard of Medibuntu, or the old Debian non-us repositories?
US Patent law is effective... in the US.
We are assuming that the servers and distros are US based.
Microsoft and Apple are in the US, but Canonical isn't. Debian isn't.
An eye for an eye. They vandalize our internet, we vandalize their infrastructure.
That said, I'm not in the area.

While I agree with you, I have to point out your odd use of the <quote> tag.
"Oh, I don't know about Software-Generated Paper. Can you tell me about it?"
That's assuming that new parts are not available.
I would imagine that, even if you purchased new and shipped from an auto parts store, these would be worlds cheaper than a normal incubator.
Nobody said the parts had to come from used cars...
Not over time... enough bots scanning intelligently over a month or so would make short work of it.
But why bother, when there are plenty of low-hanging fruits to be had without the extra effort?

Make sure you read this one as well, this in particular pertains to what I'm trying to say. I didn't think to add that above...

Read up on this article. You are both right.

Emphasis mine.
... and phosphoric acid as well! I would say the iron is the only benign substance involved, not to mention all the intermediates and solvents...

Fail. Get rid of your trailing /

Don't patent it till you have it, assholes!
So, you could have just said:

Speakeasy is also owned by Best Buy.
No thanks, guys.
Usually, only the stupid ones get caught. Knowing to do what you have suggested, moves one out of the realm of stupid.
