Something to keep in mind with those 72 hours is some of the changes just look good on the surface.
Obama said in a press conference yesterday that even though he's shutting down Gitmo, some of the detainees will still be held indefinitely without trial for "top secret national security reasons." So #1 and 2 didn't completely happen, it just changed location and doesn't happen quite as often. Of course the irony of Gitmo is some of the wrongfully held individuals who were released are now terrorist sympathizers (and honestly, I don't blame them).
All it takes is one "Happy Birthday" video from the grandkids, and I think grandma will be on board with faster speeds.
I've seen similar situations with my grandparents and a VCR. They didn't want it, didn't see a need for it, and TV was "just fine." That is, until we got them a VCR and some tapes of old movies they really enjoyed. Suddenly, they were on board.
Yea, those are all fine and dandy if you're writing Windows apps that use MS protocols. However, I don't imagine they'd be too helpful if you popped up saying "I'm writing an open source alternative of (Microsoft Technology). (Section) of the protocol is a little unclear, could you specify in more detail?"
I know that if my teenage nephews wanted the most violent gory game on the planet I would have NO problem with buying it for them.
I have a problem with that. They're not your kids. If you feel so strongly about it, perhaps you could persuade your brother/sister on the argument of letting their kids play the games in question. I'm guessing that the parents have a problem with it and that's why the kids are coming to you.
Given the degree to which consumer spending props up American GDP, the inauguration may actually MAKE money.
By spending what money? Given that the American consumer got into this problem by overspending in the first place, is that a good thing? I'm not saying that we don't need an increase in consumer spending or anything like that, but the American consumer has demonstrated they are not financially responsible. During Obama's campaign, he even stressed the point that consumers have to be more financially responsible...

They're going to make Ed sexy, one way or another. It's just what they do.
No they won't. Ed was the wacky genius/comic relief character. Ed was also intentionally androgynous (several jokes about it throughout the series). Faye and Julia were the sex appeal.

Yes, the ads are paying for the programming. But not for the access. That's what your cable bill is for -- to pay for the wiring and access to the programming.
Or to put it another way, are you surprised that have to pay a bill to your ISP -and- you see ads on cnn.com?
That's a really bad analogy. I pay for the line and access, and I get everything on the Internet.
Cable is like my ISP saying "$20/month for the basic package. Oh, you want Google also? You'll need the 'Digital Start' then, for $40/month. You want the news sites, also? Have to upgrade to the 'Digital Standard' for $60/month. Sports? 'Digital Advanced', $80/month. YouTube? That's a 'Premium Site', $10/month just for it on top of your package price."
I'm sure that a portion of the bill is wiring and access, but it's not the exorbitant amount that cable charges.
I think someone's previous comment hit the nail on the head: Solaris has the backing of Sun, a large corporation. It's capable of providing OS support to end-users.
Linux, BSD, etc normally has a "RTFM/Consult the community" approach, which doesn't really work for the average user.
Could be that. I believe it's more about the increase in judges and law schools who decided to take a look at what they're doing in detail, which has been having unfavorable results for the RIAA.
While I'm not a fan of the Manhunt series (IMO, interesting concept executed very poorly), you could debate all day about Manhunt 2 sucking due to the modifications forced by the original AO rating, or just because Rockstar can't make a good Manhunt game.
Either way, I patiently wait for Madworld (and hope it doesn't suffer the same AO-based censorship that Manhunt 2 did).

Last time I checked, sharing of *nix/BSD ISO's isn't only legal, but encouraged because it eases pressure off of FTP servers.
