"Maybe you are looking for this." [search.yahoo.com]
I normally use more than one search engine for any kind of real research. Yahoo results are different. Sometimes better, sometimes worse... but even the "clean" interface always has nagware-type ads unless I set up some kind of preferences to say "stop this crap". It's very annoying, like an old Real player or something.
My computer was built in 2002, and for my home still serves as a fileserver for 4 computers and a test web and database server. The "kiosk" laptop we use to surf the web and play streaming music is a Pentium III. No problemos here with linuxes (statiticians, please add 3 to linux column and subtract same from Operating Systems "in use").

Right on. There is insufficient data to draw positive conclusions about anything. Yes, it's getting warmer. 400 years out of how many million? You think an ice core sample from one of the poles gives you an idea of the GLOBAL temperature?
Have a great debate, but throw some science in once in a while. Once again, correlation does not prove causality. This is the science where people study x number of people who drink coffee: "coffee is bad for you".... next study: "coffee is good for you". Have you all seen the articles from the 70s by now of the "coming ice age"?
Sure, I believe in being conservative and reducing greenhouse gases to be on the safe side, but let's not look like raving lunatics who don't know anything about science while we try to convince peole to do this, k?
"Oh, wait, there's heaps of evidence that the earth is round, disproving the "negative" opinion that it's flat."
I didn't read what was written above, but here is why this is a ridiculous analogy. You certainly CAN measure the roundness of the earth, here and now.
The reason the "science" of global warming will never be a hard science is that when you do an experiment to prove something you ALWAYS have a control, something that doesn't get the inputs you're testing. This cannot be done with history or with the earth.
It is worth remembering "Correlation does not prove causality".
A graph that matches up better than global temperatures and greenhouse gases can be drawn up showing that poorer people die earlier than wealthier people. Using the "science" used in the "we're cooking the planet" argument, then it is very clear that being poor is bad for your health and will kill you. QED.
The only area where there is any practically significant difficulty with Linux and hardware these days is on laptops and with 3D cards...
...and scanners, non-network and non-postscrip printers, non-usb cameras, DVD players (political, but a problem with a piece of hardware for consumers)...
I use linux on a daily basis and have come to really dislike the way I can't make Windows do what I want it to. The "practical" truth is, however, when I wanted to buy a printer or a camera, I couldn't just go to Staples or Best Buy and pick the best deal, I had to do some research. When I want to play a DVD, I have to go meet some guy in a dark alley-way and say, "You got the app?" Way more research and work than the vast majority of consumers are willing to do.
Actually, I'm with you. I have never felt like I needed more organization to my photos. I'm pretty good at knowing where they are. I think this has a lot to do with how much you "share" your photos (or how unorganized you are).
The big advantage, as far as I can see from 5 mins of trying it, is the tagging feature (like gmail). So you went to 6 different places with Jennifer and 4 different places with Mary. Do the photos go into directories of the places you visited or into Jen and Mary directories? If you have tags for both a place and a person, it becomes very easy to get "all the photos of Jennifer" (even if it's only to delete them so Mary doesn't see).

This is a TOTAL rewrite of my history. I was in my 20's in the early 90's, in the USA, and I didn't know anybody who didn't know that computers were going to enter every facet of our lives eventually. Not by a certain date, but eventually. Who ARE these "people" of which you speak?

"Or, to put it more precisely, you think Google should fight for their users's right to privacy even when it is illegal for them to do so?

That's basically the whole point of a policy that states, specifically, "do no evil "."
That's absurd. I think it would be much more *evil* to aid child pornographers than complying with the law.

Absolutely. It's fully matured about 20 years late, but not bad by prophecy standards (I think the w3c covers that, right?).
