You give Lenovo your ThinkPad product and serial number, battery serial number, shipping address and they'll ship you a new battery in 4-6 weeks. Go to it if you have a battery of model 92P1131.
You can use `cat/proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/info | grep model` to find your battery model without removing it.
Probably something to do with it being a 3x 3.2 Ghz gaming console that costs much less than a comparable PC. It turns out that computers are useful for more than just playing games.
Fair enough, but you didn't answer my question: How are hardlinks supposed to contribute to security? Technically, you might argue that maintaining links is a "security" task, but that's just splitting hairs. It's still work.
I didn't attempt to answer your question.
The KAI tunneling daemon, the CCS daemon
I'm not familiar with those, but I can easily see how they would need root privileges (needing to modify routing table, scheduling jobs for other users, etc), but they both probably drop those privileges after they're no longer needed. You probably start them automatically upon boot as well, so the point is rather moot.

This one works perfectly for me as a normal user, and I don't see any reason why it wouldn't. I didn't have to do anything special.
...because I got an MP3 player that required Windows Media 10 to sync and hence I require XP.
Why wouldn't you get an MP3 player that simply acts as a USB mass storage device? Even now, the cost of buying a new MP3 player that doesn't use some proprietary interface would be less than that of a copy of XP.
And if you're still using Windows yourself, then you have no excuse to not help them. Of course, if you don't use Windows, you can simply tell them that.
Let's consider the example of my laptop hard drive. It's rated at a data transfer rate of 150 MB/s.
A SATA 1 interface can transfer at a maximum of 150 megs/s, but your hard drive can't. On sequential reads, you're unlikely to see much higher than 40 megs/s, even 7200 RPM desktop drives don't exceed 70 megs/s yet.
1: are all the propietry bits you want on your desktop linux system (crossover, cadega, theese new drivers etc)
Crossover is not proprietary, unless you're talking about their configuration tool. Crossover is open source and you can find their changes in the vanilla Winehq tree as well.
You are correct when you say that Cedega is proprietary though. They have a public CVS repository, but their license is LGPL incompatible and their public CVS does not update very often (and probably doesn't reflect what's in their proprietary product). They are starting to use components from vanilla Winehq, and thus those components are LGPL licenses, but Cedega in general is not.
I would have though an array of high speed reasonably standard disk drives could handle that quite easily, after all consumer SATA drives have a theoretical 1.5 Gib/s interface.
More like 3.0 Gib/s (SATA2), but either way, it doesn't matter, modern consumer hard drives can't write faster than ~40M/sec. But if you put 2 or 3 of those consumer drives in RAID 0, you shouldn't have much trouble at all writing 89M/s, especially if you compress the signal before dumping it to disk. In a couple years it'll be even easier.
You comment that you don't mind spending $2000 for a new Mac so you can switch to OS X, but you don't consider the same scenario for Linux. So, why not consider plunking down $2000 on a ThinkPad and running Linux on it?
Only quite recently (ie, in the last couple of months) have the 1600x1200 models been dropped. Apparently their supplier stopped supplying the 1600x1200 screens.

Ada. Although Ada is merely a torture device masquerading as a language, so it doesn't really count.
Where by mainstream, you mean useless?

Symlinks don't have permissions of their own, they inherit the permissions of whatever they link to.
What apps? I've never run into an app that requires root when it shouldn't. Not even various commercial software makes that mistake.
What distros? No distro I can think of (Gentoo, Fedora, (K)ubuntu, Suse, Debian, ...) assumes that root will be the regular user.
Doesn't seem to do anything...

You mean a disaster like having Windows installed on a computer? A good way to solve that disaster starts here.
I'm aware of RAID, but we were only speaking of a single hard drive, which rules out any useful application of RAID.
A SATA 1 interface can transfer at a maximum of 150 megs/s, but your hard drive can't. On sequential reads, you're unlikely to see much higher than 40 megs/s, even 7200 RPM desktop drives don't exceed 70 megs/s yet.
Thankfully my T60 appears to be unaffected. It shipped with VT off, but I toggled it on in the BIOS without issue.

Lotus 1-2-3 != Lotus Notes. Lotus 1-2-3 is a spreadsheet program, and was at one point the dominant spreadsheet program.
Even if an API is documented, MSDN is frequently wrong. Just try asking a Wine developer.
3200x1200 (2x IBM l201p) for me.

The Core 2 Duo does support 64-bit, that's one of the main differences between it and the Core 1 Duo.
Core Duo and Core Solo.
