If you haven't already, you might consider MessagEase for your Palm-type PDA - it's pretty competitive with Fitaly in the Dom Perignon contest, with either you're likely to go much faster than 10-15wpm after training.
Several years ago, when Microsoft came out with their "Natural Keyboard", my company bought one for evaluation. I arrived somewhat late and the other IT staff were discussing whether the split was in the right location. The letter splits were fine but Jr. High School typing class taught going continually diagonal - BGT5 on left and NHY6 on right - indicating that the 6 key should be on the right instead of the left.
I went to the keyboard and tried some typing without looking. Then I tried the numeric keys. Hey, the placement of the 6 key actually did match how I typed, unlike how I was supposedly taught. I proudly shouted:
I use my left hand for six!
Needless to say, some people misunderstood what I'd said...
"For all new software acquisitions, a state agency shall avoid the acquisition of products that are known to make unauthorized transfers of information to, or permit unauthorized control of or modification to the state government's computer systems by, parties outside the control of the state government."
It's Microsoft's "Intellectual Property", they can make whatever changes they want (Texas edition or Government edition) to comply.
On the other hand, they'd hopefully need to "prove their innocence".
I'm guessing you meant Configuration rather than Setup (which I associate with Install). If you really did mean Setup/Install then this neatly contradicts your next point, which I address independently.
Binary Distributions For Everything No end user wants to compile anything. Ever. Sure, power users and old-hand Linux users might enjoy it, but they are not the people we are concerned with. Until a MS Windows user can effortlessly install ANY program with just a few mouse clicks they are going to stay away.
Are you saying that InstallShield is bad? It can do lots of stuff "behind the scenes". Or are MSI packages bad if they say "Windows is configuring _______"? I fail to see the difference between these vs a./configure;make;make install script, and I'm guessing apt-get or GenToo's emerge is similar.
Beware the difference between megaBITS and megaBYTES.
mb is megaBIT and MB is megaBYTE. One byte is eight times larger than one bit, so it turns out IEEE 1384 is slower by a factor of two than ATA/100.
It's actually impossible to make a "perfect" cube out of anything.
When modeling or building, there's an accepted 5 to 6 ratio on stud vs height. See my dimensions guide. So a 6 studs by 6 studs by 5 bricks (or 4 bricks, 2 plates, one tile) should do the trick (within accepted Lego tolerances).
You might get a slightly different ratio if you use calipers, but wouldn't that apply to any discrete building material? Think "tolerances".
With at least one musical note (presumably it will ship with at least one multimedia file), there won't need to be a payment to Canada's RIAA equivalent.
That would only work if the UID was really short. If the UID is adequately long (4 or 5 bytes) and random (or at least non-sequential), good luck to getting a match in a reasonable amount of time without "getting caught".
Rather than a limit of work units to people, how about a unique identifier attached to each work unit - perhaps a hash or signature for WU and date/time and user? Then filter/reject any duplicate identifiers.
I'd imagine they have some sort of rejection method right now (in case someone tries to upload/dev/random), but I don't know how much overhead this would involve.

Why are you still referring to pieces of 8 ("/8")? Quarters are good enough, and they're so unique these days!

Actually, it doesn't even go to the recording industry yet, it goes to the CPCC, which has yet to redistribute the funds.
To summarize: compile != effort
(did a google search on qnx demodisk)
Actually, a grep-alike does come with Windows 2000 - it's called findstr. Not as good as Gnu's, but it might compare to decade-old stuff.
A program's logic can be the same regardless of whether its in an obfuscated/golf contest or has beautifier-quality content. Logic again.
Whoa, I didn't know Japanese language was so close to French?
Three generations? How about just the next? Slashdotters ask "Y Windows?" in a negative tone all the time!

Schedule "Washington Journal" with Keep at most set to one. You can do it!
- If you're recording a "one-off" show (e.g. for someone else) that you don't want skewing your profile, un-thumb it once it hits your To Do List.
If the people in the WSJ article were familiar with retracting opinions, the article wouldn't likely have been written.But I've heard they've upgraded to Windows Notepad.
So...

You missed the letters J and Q, but nice try.
