I second that. As much as I love my n810, I came to understand that anything less than 1024x768 just does not work nicely in the current world. (And while we're at that - my work notebook is 1024x768 because it's ultraportable; most of the time it's enough but SOME applications are a pain in the back to work with at 1024x768; think constant scrolling). Oh, and on an unrelated note - processor on n810 sucks; yeah, complex sites and video streams kind of work but far from perfect. Don't get me wrong, I love this tablet, but it would be unfair to not mention the issues to fellow geeks.
As some smart, responsible and otherwise nice people learned the hard way, one of the possible outcomes of reporting a security issue to the affected entity is being sued for illegal activity, reported to the feds etc. by the said entity. After reading some of these horror stories (and seeing no change in the trend over the last decades), I can say for myself that the only situation where I would report a security issue is to my employer since this is, well, my duty as a loyal employee. Or to a "known sane" party, of course, but we're speaking about contacting total strangers in this particular case.
Just a thought. May be, the checked exceptions belong to some other level than the code itself? Like, the autodoc or IDE level. So that a coder or maintainer can instantly see the exceptions flow if he wants to, but does not have to mess with it if he does not feel like doing some extra typing today.
According to MS itself, an Update Rollup is
"a tested, cumulative set of hotfixes, security updates, critical updates, and updates packaged together for easy deployment. A rollup generally targets a specific area, such as security, or component of a product, such as Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS)."

In Soviet Russia... Well, I do understand how that sounds on/., but still...:) In Soviet Russia and in Russia in general, you are required to give your passport anytime a police guy asks for it. You can be held in a police station for several hours if you don't. More than that, there's a (voluntary; yeah, indeed; fucking fascists) requirement to "register" wherever you live. You got it right. Once you move, you have to go to police and either show 'em a document that you're renting a flat or some person have to come along and provide evidence he's a legal owner of some [local] living place and is going to give you a corner to live. If you don't, you'll have a problem every time an officer stops you and asks for papers. You won't be able to get a job legally. I guess, that's what starts to happen to you. Watch out guys. There's some real shit nearby. To fight the terrorists, for sure.
It definitely depends on how you define building:). For example, the Moscow (yes, that's in Russia, where picturesque views observe YOU) "Ostankino" TV Tower is 533m high. Was built in 1960-67. The project by N.V. Nikitin, architects L.I. Batalov, D.I. Burdin. 70000 m^3, weigth (with foundation) 51400t, usable premises 14850m^2. In addition to various TV, FM, cell and other equipment, there's a restaurant, observation deck (337m) etc.
...of being raised in a [ex-?]police state is a certain set of habits. Such as not discussing anything important over the phone, for example. So, my guess is, only teenagers and terrorists can speak about "serious business" over the phone, encrypted or not. However, IANAFSBO. (I Am Not A FSB Officer:)
One more [sad] idea. I know quite a number of people (including myself) complaining of increasing vision problems due to extensive use of computers. Having nice audio interfaces to popular programs to complement (or even replace?) GUIs looks like a real benefit to the public. (Please, don't even start on 51" LCD monitors, coffee breaks every 5min and other useful things like that:)
Well... The only (and the last, I guess) time I tried to use PayPal, they allowed Russia as a citizenship entity, but they didn't allow it as a credit card origin country. I did make my small contribution to http://dyndns.org using other methods, but now I have a strong negative feeling about PayPal.
I know next to nothing about US legislation, but in the country the person in question is suspected to collaborate with, if you're making public claims of any person being guilty in something, you have to either prove it or you will (in theory) be sued. Likewise, if you _publicly_ announce something that the court has decided to be otherwise, you can be sued as well (not for opposing the court decizion, of course, but for defamation).
I just would like to add that in order to create a nice.ps file you'd better use some quality printer drivers, like something from Adobe itself. I routinely use this approach to convert Word documents to.ps. PSv2 output from Word looks nice and imports happily to Xerox publishing software, for example. (Yes, I'm talking about Win; yes, I did notice the original question was about Linux:)
