I believe there needs to be an RFC developed to document a standard interaction between application installs and firewall settings. Surely it wouldn't be that difficult for an installer (or the application, on first run) to inspect the firewall settings and request some changes.
A few checks like MD5 hashes on the executable, the executable size, install date (if malware has just installed and is seeking an outgoing port, it should be highlighted to the user as a security risk).
If an application requires internet access to function, then it is only reasonable nowdays that it should expect to have to interact with a firewall.
Joe Sixpack should know that he has just installed office, or realplayer or a game or whatever. Otherwise, a joe-sixpack user shouldn't have to interact with a firewall at all.
Without resorting to the 'alternative energy' sources, there are several factors in favour of EV:
CCGT (>50% thermal-electrial efficiency)
Peak efficiency of IC auto engines is pretty irrelevant in real world use. Expect to see less than 15 percent efficiency for normal driving.
Regenerative braking (yeah, hybrids do this too, but still suffer from the above disadvantages).
The disadvantage of highly efficient vehicles (electric and others), is you then start having to be 'inefficient' with energy use to create a comfortable driving environment in cold climates. Conventional IC engines have loads of waste heat to put to use. Reverse cycle airconditioners would solve this though.
This exact train of logic was used by GWB to summons allies to the War on Terror(TM).

Interesting that you tested a cooler without a fan. I often wonder how much real-world benefit a fan gives. Particularly if you consider the build up of dust that can accumulate over a relatively short period (6 months). I have a Zalman CNPS7000Cu (the fan/flower one) on my Athlon64 3500. I have removed it and cleaned it twice already (in 12 months), and each time it was caked with dust. And no, the case isn't parked on a carpeted floor.
If you didn't pull so much air past the fins, I'd say that the dust wouldn't accumulate so quickly. The accumulated dust would provide a significant thermal impedance to the system, probably negating all the benefits of forced convection.
The other thing I ponder is the thermal benefits of the outer ends of the fins. I believe the thermal path to the extreme edges of the 'flower' is so long that, if you plotted temperature vs thermal path, the extreme ends would have a curve almost horizontal. So I wonder how much smaller could you make the diameter of the heat sink without signficant impact on performance.
Is there an ideal (rule-of-thumb) aspect ratio for heat sink fins?
I still think that it is a complicated way of going about it. Technology for technology's sake.
Current rail electrification technology offers all these benefits already. Sure, it's expensive infrastructure, but I'd ask how the probable commercialisation costs of this new fangled technology would compare with conventional catenary electrification?
I would have though conventional railway electrification would be a better, more cost effective solution. You can make use of regenerative braking this way, as you've got a load sink to return your kinetic energy to.
Of course I haven't read the article, but I can't imagine where you'd send your regenerative braking power in this application. I'd guess that it would go the same way as a diesel-electric locomotive - dissipated as heat through a resistor load bank. What a waste.
Centralising power generation does not necessarily improve efficiency. A distributed combined cycle gas turbine power generator is probably the most efficient method of generating electricity from fossil fuels. These do not have to be behemoths, and thus can be part of a distributed power generation network.
Of course, if you've heard of peak oil, you'll also be soon hearing about peak gas, so it is not a panacea.
Just 'sell' the callers the tickets they require. A couple of calls to the real Ticket Master number will give you the script. Pity you couldn't see the frustration of them not receiving the tickets.

I would really recommend you go with the model that has Hyperthreading technology ma'am.

Just a comment on your signature:
The form agnostic, from which you derive your witicism, is composed of the parts a and gnostic
An agneglectic would probably be one who doesn't tend to their vegetable garden.
It is the same as sexual and asexual
Thus an asneglectic would be one who doesn't clean themselves after evacuating their bowels.
7 liters per 100 km = 33.6020835 miles per gallon

If you come from the UK, then bear in mind that your gallon is significantly (20%) bigger than theirs (US).
