Solaris is still vi. You can use arrows but you may have problems. I never looked into why that was.
And hjkl is great. You can edit and move without moving your hands. Tough to get used to though. I just visualized hl as left and right arrows (obvious). for up and down, the first thing you're going to do in a file is move down, and like a good little typist, your index finger should be on j, which is the easiest to find, and easiest to manipulate(??). *shrug* That's what worked for me.
Show up with a bunch of cool looking stuff (lots of lights, shiny etc), make a quick introduction, "My name is Foo and I'm a sys.....", then have your phone go off. "Oops! Database crashed, gotta go to work!"
Here in Florida, they just put electronic speed limit signs on I-4. They intend to lower the speed limit gradually from 65 to 35 during rush hour. I think they're saying that it will reduce the 'slinky' effect.
In addition to lack of money (which could be interpreted as no interest in the game, marketing flaws etc etc), how about everyone who does not care for DRM send a quick email to EA Customer Support. Here's a quick, crappy sample:
Electronic Arts,
I am writing to inform you that I was very excited about the release of your title, "Spore". I was anticipating the release and planed on buying it as soon as it arrived in stores. However, after reading several articles about the DRM system I will no longer be purchasing your product, as I think DRM is a violation of my rights as a consumer.
Sincerely,
YOUR NAME

This would probably help fight the man a bit more than just 'bitching' on/. or just not buying it.
Out of curiosity, why is it that people get bent out of shape about this 'religion'?
I got to witness an anonymous rally in San Diego about a year or so ago and it was just silly. Yes, you and I may know the whole thing is a crock, but isn't there supposed to be freedom of religion?
Not looking to start a pissing contest, I'm just wondering where people get their priorities.

On my iPhone the update disabled dialing. It also seems to be stuck in an infinite loop sending data. I checked my bank account this morning and it looks like the update cleaned it out.
*waits for equally unfunny 'the update killed my parents! lolo!LOLOL!1!!*
I'm not sure about you, but/I/ store my USB stick with my encryption keys down south when traveling, if you catch my drift. It sure is a pain in the ass to recover it though.
'Band names are another great one for this. "Oh, yeah, well, I did like Metallica X years ago, not so much now, but erm, yeah, I have their name across my back"'
Or perhaps they can look at it and say, "Oh, yea, that's from a time in my life when I liked Metallica. Thoooose were the daaaays'.
/YOU/ may not be able to find 100 people to buy them, but what about business? These are MUCH cheaper than providing a full sized 'semi portable' laptop to remote users, cheaper than your EEE's and your Winds and cut out all that annoying crap that would take away from an employees productivity.
As for the ram issues, if you have to use X, you have the *boxs, dwm, awesome, ice, evil, xmonad, wmii and ratpoison, just to name a few off the top of my head. Much much much lighter thank crappy KDE/Gnome, while enabling you to be more productive. See throughout the comments for a list of browsers one could use (although I haven't seen links -g mentioned yet).
I hope this is insightful because it lets the reader into the mind of 'average Joe on facebook'.
Following this logic, why not add your credit card info to your profile as well. Only your friends will see it, and they won't have the CSV anyway. How about your SSN?
The simple truth, my friend, is if the info is out there, it will get/has been compromised.
Not trying to get TOO OT, but is this an argument to place ones MACs on record with the insurance company, vice a serial? Like it was mentioned, above, serials could be scratched. An internal wifi card seems a damn near foolproof way to identify a machine (if it's still in tact).
Or do I just have a case of the Mondays and can't think straight?
"And how does someone know this laptop is your laptop? Perhaps the serial number (unless it has a large scratch through it)."
I'm assuming a MAC would be good enough. The question is, would you have to provide some traffic showing that MAC on your network or would just having the MAC suffice? This I would like to know.
The point is the code *IS* available and people *DO* go through it. You're right. I'm sure very few people go through every LOC for EVERY software component in their distro, but many people go through all the little parts. 'Oh no!' you exclaim. 'What if the distro changes it down stream to be evil!?!' Well then, use md5 sums if you are that paranoid.
Also, please show me a documented case of malware, spyware or other malicious features "hidden" in a FOSS project. There may be some, I'm not sure. I can say with confidence, however, that for every one on the open side(if you should find one), there are several on the close side. I'd make a bet it would be a hell of a lot easier to uninstall as well.

A bit off topic, but look into urxvtc as well.

You just made me remember this ( starts at 1:35). Cracks me up every time...

"That's debatable. Lots of us are actually much better informed about the candidates than the average American."
About 49% more of us? :)

"It's delivered between hosts completely unencrypted."
Yea...except the PGP/GPG encrypted emails, VPNs, etc etc.

Should have used cuil.
(The above was a joke)
Oh yes. I got your point. Was just clarifying from TFA (was buried way down in the PPT) ;)
FTMFA:
http://www.foo.com/ 302'ing to https://www.foo.com/ - an attacker injected in the middle via DNS can replace the 302 with a 200. Will you notice?
Ah yes, I can see it now.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't they Provide Internet Service?
And last time I checked, my ISP also had a ToS.
