Really, I hate answering this at all.
The easiest answer is to pick the ones who seem to think they have the right to release only the changes from some other standard distribution.
But they are not, as much as I wish they were the most likely to go away first.
The most likely, as painful as the prediction is, is YellowDog. I don't think the distro will flat die, but come on, how many nix's does the Mac need, or should I say current production Mac.
YellowDog is really really good, but OSX has a lot more weight behind it.

I have spent the last year using my Visor and decided at the start to drop using all paper alternatives.
Item 1 to go was the snoopable calendar on the desk. -didn't miss it a bit
Item 2 to go was the items in the databank in the watch, it's only used as a calculator now. -I do wish I could sync it with the Visor, but that's ok the visor is with me all the time.
Item 3 to go was the little notebook for mileage on the car. -This has been great Fuel Log http://palmfuellog.sf.net gives me instant stats and graphs
Item 4 to go the ultra dangerous list of over 150 id's and passwords for work, personal stuff. -I'll keep a PDA forever for these ever changing pains in the neck, some change several times a day.
I haven't missed or been late on an event in the last year.
The wall calendar in the office sits there nice and pretty, and unless the picture on it is particularly unpleasant it might not get change to the next month until halfway through the following month.

You were talking about the settings in the BIOS, not addressing the upper 256 bytes.
A special card that plugged into a slot on the motherboard that set all the settings and did basic dignostics after assembly.
I would assume these days that with all the autodetect stuff combined with predefined defaults from the main board maker, that it might just do diagnostics.

1. Send the source to your new release to known plug-in makers with a notice of a 90 day window to review for code that may belong to them.
2. Make a new release (not the one you have in mind now), with a notice that says that those who are possibly affected that are not on your list should contact you within 30 days for a review copy, followed by a 60 day time to review.
Neither of these will free you of the possibility that someone will come later and claim ownership of some this or that of code, but it should put you in the clear on having made an attempt beforehand.
You could assume a file changed every day would be valuable, but then it might just be a cache file of some sort.
On the other hand a household inventory or Will might be updated yearly and far more valuable than the cache file (and probably smaller).
Of course a full back up is the most desired, but also the least likely.
Personally I think this needs to be tied to the applications and the file system (I have a not so vague suspicion that this is what archive bits were intended for).
I'm sure that most of us undervalue the data we have stored on our personal equipment.
Then again maybe not, usually when something gets degaused from one of my machines, I have it somewhere else on another. But your point is well taken, what would the impact be if I lost all the machines on my LAN at the same time?
Is there a 'smart' way for me to back it up, or how would I even start to evaluate which amoung the folders of fodder were the ones to back up.
Financial stuff would be obvious and easy, but beyond that it starts to get real muddy real quick. And then, how do I secure my backup?
Yup one little thing, your proposing that control be turned over to cities for investment when the proposal is that this spectrum be unregulated for the purpose of enhancing rural access.
The cities have no interest in improving rural access, quite the reverse.
The real upsetter I'm seeing the proposal to free up (unregulate) spectrum is not if it will work, but what happens if it does work.
My impression (and of course I could easily be wrong) is that they expect the wireless rural broadband to be developed adhoc much the way 802.11 has in some cities with groups creating communities of shared resources to the traditional broadband world of xDSL and Cable.
It could work, and in the process drive a stake through the heart of the traditional BB providers, as well as Baby Bells and the final nail in the coffin of the LD companies.
Why? Well it doesn't take a lot of bandwidth to do VOIP tunneling out of a 11+Mb wireless connection.

Once apon a time the first language for any new machine was Forth. But then again it's been a long time since we've seen any really new machines.
The reviewer is correct, someone groks forth or they don't. Being a person who groked it from the second he saw it in 1978, I can't understand anyone not getting it.
Sure RPN notation is hard for some (apparently most) folks, and boolean logic just doesn't seem to be natural for most people, and then the stack just knocks them in the head, but these are three of the four pillars of what makes forth great.
The fourth pillar of forth is that you can change it to be anything you want, most languages have to be learned, forth is a language that you can teach to learn you... If RPN is just intolerable you could redefine it and still leave the core alone for pre existing words (functions for the non forth crowd).
Leo Brodie's "Starting Forth" and "Thinking Forth" books are great and it's a shame that Brodie no longer has an interest in the language.
As a long time forth user I'm not thrilled with the complexity added in C. Moore's latest version colorForth, it seems to add a new layer of complexity, but then again I may just be unable to Grok it.
Personally I'd love to see Forth brought to the GUI era and don't understand why it hasn't been.

When they prefilter by exclusion because of content they do take responsibility for the content.
It's a slippery slope they've started down and my concern isn't just for the quality of a Google search, but for the survival of Google itself.
The French and German governments seeing that they cannot control non domestic content, are attempting to control the ability to find that content. I suspect, that they may be violating thier own laws in putting the onus on Google, being that Google is only a near real time index of sites, not the owner of the content. Are known hate groups and individuals removed from the local telephone directories and 411 type information services?
Google itself may be going too far in compliance, it would seem to me, depending on the wording of the court order, removing the K and P items (see http://www.google.com/help/interpret.html) would be enough keep Google out of any connection with republishing content forbiden by law and identified by authorities.

Hold on: what consumer? You? Me? I know I haven't paid for Google, therefore I have no right to demand quality *anything* from them. The fact that I use them as a search engine for free and get decent search results back is just gravy to me.
The fact that you do not pay anything directlty to Google does not mean you are not a consumer.
One of the definitions of consumer is n:a person who uses goods or services.
You _have the right_ to demand anything, getting it is another story.
Also don't forget that individuals are not the only consumers of Google's output. Business of all kinds use the Goog, as well as institutions of learning and the government.
Trust factors into everything, I can't debate that point. The Internet is an interconnected network of trusted systems.
You don't have to sign an agreement, It's your fault that you didn't read this; http://www.google.com/terms_of_service.html
This is the part that put's Google in hot water... The sites displayed as search results or linked to by Google Search Services are developed by people over whom Google exercises no control. The search results that appear from Google's indices are indexed by Google's automated machinery and computers, and Google cannot and does not screen the sites before including them in
the indices from which such automated search results are gathered. A search using Google Search Services may produce search results and links to sites that some people find objectionable, inappropriate, or offensive. We cannot guarantee that a Google search will not locate unintended or objectionable content and assume no responsibility for the content of any site included in any search results or otherwise linked to by the Google Search Services.
Bold added by me.
Google being a corperation operating in the public venue is obliged, by law to comply with the law, and to meet it's public obligations. The agreement above that you, me, and Google agree to when I use it is being violated... hence trust is damaged.
The last part of the paragraph above from the agreement is something I count on, I expect, hope and deman content that is offensive to me.
Someone explain to me why Google is being slagged for removing these items from their indexes?
I will.
Google is being 'slagged' because it affects the integrity of Google as an impartial (aside from the programmed rules) producer of search results.
Of course you are right Google can do anything with it's property that it wants, and it will have to suffer the barbs of the consumer in response.
I do appreciate that for the most part they are only complying with the law, however the results are the results, and results don't care about the law.
The results will be tainted by the fact that the dataset has been corrupted and can no longer truely be 'trusted'.
You cannot change the fact that hate groups exist by hiding them. I know this is not Google's intent, it's the laws intent.
Failure to collect the information that these groups exist, the levels they exist at, and the mis-information they are trying to spread will diminish the ability to see them, and hence to fight them.
