for a medium of sending information freely it is 100% perfect BECAUSE OF IT"S FLAWS. Agreed. How about as a medium for receiving information?
In any case, we disagree over the value one should ascribe to free flow of information.
The "free flow of information" as an abstract virtue ceases to be useful when spammers freely bombard inboxes, causing people to hide their email addresses, and otherwise inhibiting free communication of ideas.
Hope you can help me.
New research at Harvard on Hwang's cells has found that they are actually parthenogenic lines derived from eggs -- perhaps a more important and difficult achievement than what he had been claiming [the first stem cells from a cloned human embryo]! What are parthogenic lines? Is there a way to derive them other than using eggs? Do they occur naturally somewhere?
Why is this more important than stem cells from a cloned human embryo?
Why was that important? Ethicists are satisfied if the destroyed embryo is a cloned one?
Users started noticing crap on Dell installs a while ago.
The PC Decrapifier is designed to remove a specific list unwanted software in an unattended fashion. Before running, the user may select exactly what software should be removed. Currently, it is targeted for use on most Dell machines; however it will theoretically run on anything that has the software listed below. http://www.pcdecrapifier.com/

Apparently, withstanding a nuclear attack was only a passing consideration. The primary objective was creating a standard means of sharing data across diverse networks.
3. Have the credit agency computers call a number listed in the credit history every time the history is accessed. ("This is Equifax. Beardo has applied for a $500k mortgage. If you are not aware of this transaction, call 1-800-HEY-WAIT.") You can do something like this now by filing a "fraud alert which will be shared between the three credit bureaus (equifax, transunion, experian).
You can require that a phone number (provided by you) be called each time a credit application is processed using your information.
You can set this up for 90-days, or 7-years. This also will remove your name from appearing on credit card junk mail. (A different process is involved in stopping the mails altogether.)
(I became aware of this service only recently, after Discover Card called me at work to verify a non-matching home address on a fraudulent credit card application.)
Charles De Gaulle fought on despite the surrender of the French government.
Brave Frenchmen joined him, however, this has not been enough to erase the taint France gained through collaboration with the enemy.
As described by another commenter in this thread:
The French didn't merely concede defeat (unlike, say, Norway or Poland, who then fought on in exile). France cut a deal with the Germans, and would under the influence of men like Laval move ever closer into the Axis orbit. Hell, the first US ground action in the Western theater wasn't against German troops - it was against the French in North Africa in 1942.
There have been proposals to have a centralized mozilla bounty system at mozilla.org, but they've been dismissed as WONTFIX in anticipation of human conflict becoming distracting to those with authority over the code base.
Some, like Mark Shuttleworth, once held hope for more support for bounties from Mozilla, such as a bugzilla feature to associate bounties with bugs. That hope seems to have disappeared.
Mozilla-related Wiki attempts have also disappeared, and the other websites out there seem to lack critical mass.
However, Mozilla has started a limited bounty program for security bugs, with help from long-time bounty advocate Mark Shuttlesworth.
As far as the mechanics of moving money around, http://fundable.org/ might be an option.
We "need" machines because some idiots in Florida couldn't figure out how to use the paper ballots that have been used for years, and then some idiot judges decided that it was a procedural error, not a user error.
If you are an otherwise smart person who made a mistake on your ballot, you can surrender the ballot and have it marked void in exchange for a fresh one.
If you are still too stupid to vote, maybe you don't deserve to have your vote counted.
I call it the theory of natural vote selection. Try again next election.
Oh, wait, I forgot, it is the government's fault if someone is disenfranchised because they were too busy/lazy/distracted to educate themselves and vote. So we need to mobilize to "get out the vote" and wear "I voted" stickers to flash at our coworkers on election day.
yes, title is misleading, but so is your extrapolation.

There may be some who would disagree.

Laptop drives are more of a hassle to replace, smaller capacity, less RPMs, and more expensive per Gigabyte.
It's easier to just get an external drive (or external enclosure for an "internal" drive).

You misspelled "simplistic."
Seems like an as-yet unsolved problem.
