As an old C programmer (who actually is looking to get back into development) what kinds of apps make C popular (over C++) seems a lot of the
stuff on the web made me feel out of date because I didn't know C++ as well or some other OO based language.
I also think that while the overall ranking of a language is something to consider, it does seem that various specialties favor
a few languages (web, gaming, scientific, business etc.) so that should be taken into consideration as well.
I grew up with Mitch Altman, and monetary compensation is far from his mind. Mr. Altman prefers to spend his time on art and is very activist in causes he believes in, and works just enough to get by not to get rich. He does believe that TV is something that sucks up time from other persuits in life. My personal (and I can't speak for Mitch) take is that tv-b-gone is supposed to be an equalizer, yes it annoys other people but then your annoyed by TV. He also teaches classes so ordinary folks learn to build electronics.
If you want to see what he is up to Mitch does have a Facebook account.
The kind of Solaris penetration sun really wants is at the corporate level. There are a lot of Sun Servers out there so they'd like to increase that further in companies who want cheaper hardware than the sparcs. From a TCO point of view, add Solaris X86 to your existing Sparcs isn't that big of a deal and Sun has made pretty good progress in making Solaris 10 much more on equal footing with Sparc based Solaris so now you only need admins who are expert at one OS, you've got easier compatibility with your software etc. Then from there I see a push to companies who don't use Sparc hardware.
I can see it now a Mozilla Plug-in that creates random cookies to confuse these systems or hey even create artificial patterns that might work to your advantage. (Yes sir you can see from my profile that I'm the right person for testing driving the new Ferrari just leave the keys in the mailbox)
Well IANL but I am a FY LS.
I don't think this is really a matter for the police, from my probably naive student view this seems to be a textbook case of tort law (i.e. civil suits). Your neighbor may place anything on his property, but if it interfere with the enjoyment of your property then
you could get the device removed/compensated. It might even work as a small claims court (where you won't need a lawyer). Of course you could also sue the manufacturer as well.
Hey why not eliminate more than just spam, but network hacks and viruses. What we do is we put that email on a single box. All the "close knit" users sign on to the single box (no internet needed), how it works is that it gives each user a small slice of CPU time but changes so fast the users don't know its a single computer.
Actually no need to invent, HP Timesharing, Dec RSTS/E are available to run in emulation mode under your favorite O/S.

The new CIO maybe saying "the dedicated" crap, but he thinks your all using these as nifty toys on the company dime or worse using them for activities that don't help the company like your own personal gain. I'd get out of there fast before he decides you need to buy your own chairs and desks for the office.

I've used FM Pro with a not-for-profit before and Filemaker has decent NFP pricing solutions as well.

deep-rooted fear of getting caught, which could be useful for crime prevention perhaps. But whose eyes?"

Well for those of us a bit older, how about "Bette Davis Eyes" that along with the Kim Carnes song in the background should deter anybody!!
