Most of their products that are still in beta are only still in beta because google hasn't figured out how to make money from them yet.
Gmail for instance. Ok, you can scan emails for keywords and then display text ads accordingly. But what do you do with the users that only use the POP3 service?
Linux is not the FOSS community. There would still be plenty of open source software projects for other OSs. A majority of FOSS projects are ported to more then one OS. Just because linux was 'gone' doesn't mean the users of this software will just stop.
For instance, I'm posting this from a windows machine using an open source browser. If linux just dissappeared, this machine wouldn't notice.
If you did it right, you would have tested it on one machine before you rolled it out to all of your machines. It's common sense in IT to test before a rollout. It only takes 10 minutes of your time.

Actually, just because it's developed outside the US, doesn't mean the NSA can't get their grubby little hands on it. See here
Yeah, as they should. But, it is not required to have any special software suites to take care of compliance. It is wholly possible to be compliant with standard OSs and software.
For instance, my company has gone toward paperless. And we looked at those expensive suites to store documents as read only but they were all overpriced for what they do. We found other ways to store the documents and stay compliant. Saved a butt-load.
Not a good point. Working for a financial services company, I know it is required for them to keep their email around. Research the Sarbanes-Oxley act. That is law. Keeping IP addressis logged is not.
Forget about that even. Who will want to go through this trouble for buying it for themselves? If this tech gets used, it will no doubt be heavily boycotted.

I don't know what you're using but 7-zip is so much more friendly and versitile.
That study was too short term. They raised the speed limit for one year? What about all the people who said, "Cool, let's go haulin' now that we can". Keep the speed limits up for 10s of years, when people get used to them and we'll see what happens.
Well, if we weren't warring constantly, we could pay for all of this. We spend way to much money on death.
And the manned space program needs to go on. We need to find out how to survive. That's the whole point. We are trying to gain knowledge to be able to keep our species alive as long as possible. Once we get a constant and comfortable space program then we can start attacking things like asteroids and comets hitting Earth, and inhabiting another world when ours goes to shit.
Forget about IPTV, I just can't wait for 5mbps down and 2mbps up for under $40/mo. It will be amazing to have such a responsive connection at my house for such a great price.
In fact, if you search for coordinates of "11547'30"W 3716'30"N", it will place you dead center in NAFB. And if you check out a little south east, it looks like there are some nuclear test craters. Interesting...
Actually, it does appear they have sattilite images of NAFB. They are of an offset color though so their age may be high. Regardless though, it is on the images.

Actually, they were probably trying to be nice and help you.
It's women like you that destroys our trust in all women.
1) So what, if you read the article you know that their funding is being drastically cut by the CURRENT administration.
2) Again, so what. Don't throw the word liberal around and think it's an insult. Here's a definition excerpt from dictionary.com
"Favoring proposals for reform, open to new ideas for progress, and tolerant of the ideas and behavior of others; broad-minded."
Maybe it's me but progress, tolerance, and broad-mindedness sounds like good traits.
3) No, that's not true. RTFA, most DID incur some sort of pressure. Whether it was an order, a 'veiled threat' or whatever, still presure.
And this whole liberal political agenda.. hm. Acording to the definition of liberal, that would mean they have a concience and think about the world around them. Doesn't sound bad to me.
The thing is, this is important. Pretty much every animal has a specific purpose. Like clearing out foliage, spreading seeds, keeping it's prey's numbers down. Without these animals doing their job, things get thrown out of whack. When nature gets unbalanced(i.e. species goes extinct) it makes life MUCH harder for us and eventually impossible. We need to protect the environment so we as a species will survive. Hm, sounds important.
Now unless you want some company to go into the profit-less business of doing these animals jobs which would be an enormous cost on taxpayers. Then we need to head this thing off and spend a lot less money keeping a balance with nature.
It IS possible for us to have our cities and co-exist with everything else. We do not need to clear every peice of land and the animals with it.
I think this would have loads of applications. Monitoring for instance. It would be nice to be running 18 different system monitors all in this interface and all you have to do to see other screens is move your mouse.
The only problem is, currently, the windows will not update while inactive. So for monitoring it would be kind of stupid to keep looking at the same second in time.
The sunlight is getting to Earth. It's being absorbed in the atmosphere. And guess what the absorption of sunlight causes? heat -- warming, in other words. That's not good news.
Actually, the particulate matter is causing reflection, not absorbtion. And this my friend, causes 'dimming' which cools the Earth. Read a little first before you post.
I just read this article http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/12/09/163521 7&tid=126 called 'Japan-American Tech Deficit' today. It states that they have had them in Japan for quite some time. Someone needs to let these people know so they don't waste their time.

They have fought the War on Drugs with skill, so why not the War on Piracy?
They fought the war on drugs with skill? Really? Let me take a hit off of my crack pipe and read that again...
My guess would be an infinite loop problem, where packets keep getting passed between two bridges bridging the same 2 networks.

Hm. Somehow I thought tazing kids was illegal...
This idea is so cool-nerdy style-but scary at the same time. I figued 80,000 volts might be harmful to a child.

I'm pretty sure they were just hoping for joy that this would happen. I bet W and Rummy had a pretty happening party once they heard this.
