If I'm not mistaken, if it were you that were running your own mail server, you'd be able to claim the Fifth if asked for email logs. Google can't claim the Fifth if being subpoenaed for someone else's mail logs, but you can.

In fact, they're using Tomcat/4.1, so their streaming is being done via servlets or something. If anyone knows where the actual direct URL's to the videos (not the URN thing), I think it'd be a good thing to post it.

Well, their streaming server is running Red Hat, so, uh, yeah...
Don't forget FYE, an almost entirely CD-filled store common to many malls. CDs won't die until everyone has broadband and music is published in lossless CD quality for a better price than that of a CD.
Being a Linux sysadmin is better, though; you get to waste a lot of time playing videogames due to all the stability. Besides, if you're really that bored, you could get adventurous and try out new things.
If I'm not mistaken, the guy who said this is CEO (or president or something) of News Corp (owns Fox and whatnot), so I think his word should be quite influential to the other broadcasting companies like Time Warner, Turner Broadcasting, Disney, etc.
Your issue is taken care of with.deb packaging (created by Debian) and probably in other package formats such as.rpm. The package can contain scripts for installing and uninstalling, so that is where you can delete all the program and config files. If a package doesn't do that, the package is buggy and needs to be fixed.
Windows can never really have a central package repository because of the nature of Windows (it is the only distribution of Windows to start, and I'm sure Microsoft would get sued to shit and back if they included a bunch of software, even if it was free/open software that they didn't even make (something about competition and other software developers)), so there's no sense in comparing the different methods. If all third party Windows developers followed the guidelines set by MSDN, then there'd probably be far less trouble when it came to software management on Windows.
There are 3 things I can think of:/etc, ~/.gconf/, and ~/.kde/share/config/. Really, it's just a big pile of rc files usually, so there's no way one error in a config file will break everything else unrelated to that config file.
So I'm guessing this is why Comcast is upgrading some areas to 16M/1M connections? I thought cable already used shared fibre lines. Guess I was wrong...
Competition is good; too bad they aren't competing with ISPs from Japan or Korea, else we'd get getting 100M/100M connections for $10-15 a month.
On the contrary; people get their accounts jacked all the time (apparently), and some smart site admins (like the ones that work for Phil Flash) notice when accounts get compromised and disable those accounts. How else would a.s.passwords work?:P
On the Internet, it is possible to scan whole ranges of addresses looking for vulnerabilities. Automatically. 24/7. And exploit them automatically, 24/7.
Scary thing is that it's true. I still get hits from bots trying to find old versions of PHP XML-RPC to exploit, and that itself is annoying. It's simple enough to run `nmap -p80 -oX boxen-to-pwn.xml 66.0.0.0/8 67.0.0.0/8` (or whatever IP subnets you wish) and then make a script to check all those servers that respond and to attempt to use the XML-RPC exploit. Of course, I'm willing to bet that most bots like that were written by one person and used by script kiddiez everywhere, so there isn't much to fear with these idiots.
I don't know, but Konqueror does indeed appear to pass the Acid2 test. The only problem I can see is this odd scrolling bug, but that probably isn't supposed to be able to scroll anyhow.
I'm pretty sure they can't distribute anything that comes from non-free (AKA multiverse in Ubuntu's repositories) due to the non-compliance with DFSG. You can go and download the non-free software from their repositories or wherever, but many non-free programs do not allow commercial distribution and other restrictions not allowed by DFSG and free software in general.
I hate JavaScript as much as the GP probably does, but for sites that are designed to work that way (e.g. live.com and Google's personalised homepage), I can understand the use of JavaScript/ECMAScript. However, your stupid floaty menu widget can be accomplished perfectly in CSS, and for browsers that don't support that, there are both JavaScript fallbacks and simple browser-based fallbacks that will still allow the user to view the site just fine.
Basically, designing to degrade gracefully is what you need to do.
Thank you for explaining that this time; I remember the last time this exact question came up on Slashdot a couple months ago. Default search engine for Firefox is Google, and if you don't enter in what appears to be an actual domain name or valid URI, Firefox tries searching Google for you.
And the EU in return can proclaim Microsoft's copyrights on all its software in Europe to be null and void, thus ending any potential lawsuits regarding Microsoft as well as causing even more chaos. Microsoft is a company that sells copyrighted material; they are only able to do so due to copyright laws, so if the government refuses to enforce said laws for Microsoft, their actual presence becomes irrelevant.
Technically, the GPL is his due to copyrights, but he GPL's the GPL (except for the preamble; you need to email/write to GNU to use it in a modified GPL).
Probably because it costs money to make the actual discs and to get the SDK and whatnot to develop games for the Xbox. The same goes for pretty much all consoles in existence.
Why does this eerily sound like an actual Star Wars plot? I know it's supposed to be in that format, but it almost sounds like an actual Star Wars plot with a few words changed...

No, it would be 2038; the 32-bit timestamp was signed, so you centred it around the UNIX epoch.

Konqueror for some reason respects the scrollbar-* CSShit, so that's a bad thing IMO...
