First, I *could*not*agree*more* with your point about vicious dictators. But the "pissing in the eye sockets" bit seems out of place in a plea to refrain from hyperbole...
Wealth and income are not the same thing. Wealth = Income/Property without continued input. Income comes and goes, wealth, like property stays.
Support generates income, if anything happens in the chain (you are injured and can't work or the product becomes defunct, etc.) no more money comes in. Wealth can be generated by IP to an extent, but probably more so with FOSS. With IP (say Microsoft for example) if they stop working, money will continue to roll in (for awhile), and even later they will still be payed to license patents etc. With FOSS the code is the wealth. YOU HAVE THE PROPERTY. You get it, modify it, use it. If you don't like it re-write it.
I think Comcast will get a slap on the wrist, and throttling will resume. That's how the government has been operating for the past *57* years. Why should I expect them to change now?
There, fixed that for ya...
I believe tigers come in Asian (Bengal/Siberian), and Mac (X.4). Initially you would think it would have to be one of the Asian varieties because Jobs would never let anything as bloated as 350lbs get out the door. But it blasted out of that enclosure like nobody thought it could either. Amazing! Maybe it was a Mac after all!/ducks
I don't think that is really fair to say. My wife telecommutes. We live far too from her work for her to commute. She is an excellent employee, and her boss would do a great deal not to have her quit. All said and done, if you are telecommuting there are a few other things to consider. Your employer no longer needs a parking space for you, a physical space for you, they do not need to heat or cool your space, or provide you with light, or electricity for your computer, or water for your bathroom or breaks. *You supply all that out of your pocket!* You save the money on the commute, but it doesn't net out. In most other facets of business the people who make/save the company big bucks get rewarded. My wife misses her team, and she is able to continue working there when it would otherwise be very difficult, and she doesn't have to commute. But she is one of the few they trust to work from home and is saving them big bucks. Why shouldn't she be rewarded?

I believe that you were already obligated to report, otherwise you become a conspirator. This is very different than either 1) not knowing about the crime, or 2) not reporting a crime you are not a party to. You are knowingly continuing to provide the material means to commit the crime.
It was probably defeated by a "Bic Pen" not a paperclip. Most of the Pseudo-secure technology stuff I've seen uses the cylindrical lock/key setup. Cheaper ones are very easy to defeat ueing the proper size of ball point pen with the end ripped out. Just 'Jam and Turn'.

It is not going to hit entrenched software the same way. Microsofts 'large footprint' protects them to a degree. I work at a school, and we are getting the latest version of a new student management database that runs the latest version of SQL (we will have to buy the latest version). It is of course is accessed by Access 2007 so I will have to upgrade all of the administration to Office 2007. All they have to do is change it, have people write 3rd party apps for it, and you have to buy it again. "You don't just buy Microsoft, you join the family..."

Improved *lemonix*security!

It can't be taken away from you. That's Wealth

For backups try Cobian. For ghosting try drivesnapshot.de Basically freeware, not perfect but better than symantec and free or almost for a school.

No! There's Steve Jobs as well!

I think that would be 'X Winos'
