Tracking criminals, come on. Its just a sure way to end up with information overload. Besides, don't criminals wear balaclava's and steal cars to do crimes? You say "highly supervised" by CCTV. In Auckland city we have cameras set up all over the place. Unfortunately, after a murder occurred, we all found out that the cameras weren't being watched as there wasn't enough funding for it at the time. Great to think, as you are being dragged down an alley to be beaten to death, that you can wave goodbye.
Strangely enough, people don't want to believe it when you tell them its a statistical anomaly. We had a "bandwagon" news week in New Zealand where reporters interviewed damn near everyone under the main pylons. Then they found some clusters of "unfortunate incidents" (cancer, suicide) in a small town and a state housing development and left half the country with the idea that we were being lied to by the power companies and government. Was lots of fun, hope to do it again in a couple more years.
Try nod32. It never put me wrong and didn't use as much memory/processor. And if you do end up swapping to linux, just swap your license over. http://www.nod32.com/home/home.htm
Can't be used with Google desktop though.
Yes folks! The next time you want to do the wild thing with one of those crazy ladies of the night. Go for prevention. Its simple its easy and its cheap.

Current government policy in New Zealand is to come up with a bad idea, and get the industry to police it. Involves all the good points of our government; Not paying for it, not being liable for it and, not making people responsible for their own actions.
We don't. We need a.kid domain (read that idea on/. somewhere. Thanks whoever came up with it. It has been included in a letter to the government.) where the sites can be censored to hell.
If you are anything like New Zealand, it has to do with your country being ruled by the crown and the government not wanting to write an actual set of laws (instead prefering to rely on British law.). Strange things happen when you start rewriting the basis of laws and no government wants their population thinking of what is right and wrong. Its much easier to say, "You can't argue with nine-hundred years of history" (Nine hundred or so from the Magna Carta, common law evolved from then).
It does seem that they cheat somewhere doesn't it. Tonight I'm putting my 9600 pro into a friends computer because my old Geforce 4 works just as well. It doesn't get the framerates that the Radeon does but its much smoother and the drivers aren't a bitch to install.
On the other hand, at least ATI does Linux drivers.
I would be more worried about burglars. In New Zealand, we have the Electoral Role in every public library. Anyone can look at it and it lists your name, address, employment, etc.... So, if you want to find a good house to rob, go look at it. Don't waste your time with the small fry. You can also avoid robbing a lawyer accidentally (10th rule of crime - Always pay your lawyer, never piss him off. He's stopping, or minimizing, your jail time. Robbing a Judge is an even worse idea, but they aren't listed).
"As a sibling poster pointed out the bootstrapping problem. While it may be fairly easy for blind people (I don't know) there are many other disabilities too. While this isn't an insurmountable problem, it will still limit the amount of help."
I thought blindness would be the greatest problem would be the greatest problem as you would need to work out a consistant verbal syntax to describe the visual output or a way to drop the visual output altogether. Bootstrapping is only a problem until the first bootstrap is complete for each type of functional limitation.
"Communication barrier. This is especially true of deaf people, but it exists with to other disabled groups to various extents."
I am communicating to you now without sound;).
You third point is undeniably valid. I know exactly what you mean. Until the age of eleven I never knew that you could see the stars at night,that there was a horizon, or that trees had leaves when you weren't standing next to them. My entire world revolved around colour, movement, sound and memory. In fact, I had adapted so well that when I first walked out of the optometrists with glasses on, I burst into tears. I simply never knew the world was so beautiful and I can never explain to people who have had good sight all their lives the beauty in the world I had before that.
Glad to see people have completely missed one of the points of having FOSS. If you want it, do it, its your responsibility. We aren't talking about locked up proprietary code folks, if disabled people want disabled access they are more than welcome to submit whatever input they have.

When I was in Ireland the Irish American tourists really got up the locals noses. I think the general consensus was that they were, "a bunch of pillarcs". I was amazed at the anti American sentiment there, but I never figured out just what the U.S. had done to deserve it.

EM stress is when you can't use your computer because your flatmate is using the microwave and every CRT in the house is wobbling.
On another note "Sick Building Syndrome" could be caused by low level sound, but thats completely unsubstantiated.
Follow the line of thought in the summary and you will see that it is suits that stop open source adoption, not sandals.

Second would be the religious implications of the first life on another planet having some of the same DNA as us.
Maybe they'll start calling it the, "Freedom Pod".
Or on?
