USB is quite a bit slower than disk access. You can see this if you try to use Portable Firefox, or edit large documents stored on your USB (very long load/save times).

Unsafe for the client, but not the server... as far as I know. People should be aware that they browse "at their own risks" and do have a choice as to which browser to use. If some people want to use IE, well, they were warned.
A better solution, of course, is to have a banking system that is not dependent on the underlying browser architecture.
In case you did not get the joke, in Wikipedia's markup language, putting double brackets around an article title autolinks to that article (usually at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Article_title).
Antitrust laws certainly are necessary. In the corporate world, money and power tend to concentrate (corporations buy others, merge, etc...), so monopolies are the natural result. Unrestricted monopolies can manipulate their prices however they please. Antitrust laws are in place partly to prevent the formation of monopolies.
For example, antitrust laws prohbit a practice known as predatory pricing, in which a corporation sets prices below the profit margin temporarily. Once a corporation becomes large enough, it can eliminate any competition by predatory pricing because a smaller company will not have the resources be able to match such low prices. For this reason, predatory pricing is prohibited by antitrust laws.
The magnetic and geographic poles of the Earth are actually not the same. This is why hikers and other people who use compasses need to factor magnetic declinationinto their compass readings.
No, I'm saying that most people won't care that OpenOffice.org is Free because they already have MS Word, which they think of as free (even though it is not, hence they are "under the impression that it is free.")
P.S. I do use OOo and think that the file format is superior to.doc, but typical computer users will not care.
Unfortunately, the best way to make documents widely accessible is to use MS Word. Most people are under the impression that it is free, because it most likely came with their computers. Most people don't know what OOo is and don't care that it is Free (in both senses of the word). Acrobat takes forever to start up, which is frustrating. People will demand for the Mass. government to just distribute documents "the normal way."

This is no worse than saying that they should drop support for Safari because it's so sparsely used.
You're assuming, of course, that intelligence is hereditary.
Well, Bush has already admitted that the government response was too slow, so you can take that for what it's worth.

Doesn't everyone already know the real reason for the hurricane?
