One amusingly annoying anecdote about this:
Emails sent to me by ticking the 'Send me a copy of this email' box when sharing Google Reader articles were put in my spam folder.
But I have seen some other areas do a thing which I thought was odd at first, but makes sense. That is they have a one to two second 4 way red between swapping the roads that are given the green.
This is standard practice here in Sydney (Oz). There is an all red that is usually long enough to clear the intersection of any cars that run the orange before the next green is given.
This seems to be the most sensible way of doing things.
Your argument definately has merit: I use these gestures with a tablet laptop[0]. This probably at least similar to the single finger section of the patent.
[0] The Opera Browser introduced integrated mouse gestures in version 5.10 back in April 2001, though I didn't get a tablet until '03.
Still not x86, but in the same price and performance bracket is a Jack-PC.
It's a thinclient built inside a standard wall jack that can be powered over PoE.

I'm sure the new UI is fantastic, based on the eight-by-ten colour glossy photographs

Makes me want to install RedOffice and blog about it.
And then three people do it, three, can you imagine, three people installing RedOffice and blogging about it.
They may think it's an organization. And can you, can you imagine fifty people a day,
I said fifty people a day installing RedOffice and blogging about it.
And friends they may thinks it's a movement.
Upgrades are hard and require smarts and planning. Congratulations, I wish you good ROI.

There are plenty computer related laws and treaties such as the Wassenaar Arrangement which limit the import and export of cryptography amongst other things. Simply taking a copy of truecrypt out of the country with a destination outside of the accepted list can bring about charges similar to weapons dealing.
For more info there is a crypto law survey which includes the US. The survey also has some example case law.
Webserver? Ubuntu is a DESKTOP system. It doesn't have server install wizards. If you want advanced wizards, then you need a full featured Linux distribution like Mandriva or Suse.
Have a look on the Ubuntu download page and note the 'Server Edition' radio buttons.
The server edition is aimed at headless servers and offers task package options such as DNS, Fileserver, LTSP & LAMP during the process.
There's also an even slimmer version for virtualised appliances.
Have a look around the company web site, there's more!
Here's a choice quote from the HDMI cables page:
HDMI is a digital signal format, developed primarily as a platform for the implementation of HDCP (High Definition Content Protection) to prevent consumers from having complete access to the contents of high-definition digital recordings. As one might expect from a standard that was developed to serve the content provider industries, rather than the best interests of the consumer, HDMI is something of a mess.
[..snip..]
As more and more manufacturers move to implement HDMI on more home theater devices, however, it falls to the consumer to try to make the best of this dubious and poorly-thought-out standard.
I test primeness by dividing the test-number by all integers, from 2 through the test-number's square root, looking for a zero remainder.
Do you know/calculate the square root in advance or do you terminate when your cadidate divisor^2 is >= the subject?
The point being, if you know the square root in advance and it is an integer then you would be able to conclude that your subject is non prime (or 1).
I completely agree with the sentiment, but the examples are a little behind...

From wikipedia:
In April 1995 a total embargo on dealings with Iran by U.S. companies was imposed by U.S. president Clinton. Trade with the U.S., which had been growing following the end of the Iran-Iraq war ended abruptly.[19] The next year the American Congress passed the Iran-Libya Sanctions act which threatened even non-U.S. countries making large investments in energy.

I hear the marked difference in the audio quality between the two also, so it is not just you.
Of course it may not be MTV after all: as nocsript shows:

After all, it's not like the vista box weighs the same as a duck,

Thanks for a great laugh.

- The tiny plastic cover in front of the IR ports broke
- The chrome's rubbed off the touch pad and buttons
- The pen only works intermittently on some strips of the screen
- The battery life is down to about an hour and a half
- Replaced the keyboard when it was killed by a glass of apple juice
