So the truth finally comes out: now one gives a flying fluck.
Not even surprising enough to warrant a sarcastic choke on the next sip of my coffee.

I have the exact requirements as you, so I spent the last six months developing a
solution. It converts SentBoxes, Inboxes, gmail, PST files and regular mbox.
It archives and indexes everything and provides full text search with google-like
phrase grouping and exclude phrases.
It normalizes addresses, eliminates duplicates, understands every character set and
can display any email within it's web GUI with proper inlining of pics-in-html.
For me it can index 8 gigs of emails within a couple of hours.
We are pilot testing this solution at an ISP for our customers.
Would you like to try it out?

Whatever you do, don't make any broadcasts to alien vessels.
Also, any signals you receive from the alien's should not be made public,
or else YOU and your satelite dish will dissapear curtesy of secret UFO coverup agencies etc.

High-speed rail between cities works in Europe because when you arrive by HS rail you can get from the main station to whereever by light-train, tram, or bus and only have to walk five minutes. High speed rail won't work if you have to hire a car once you get there, or pay for an expensive cab, in order to complete the last leg of your journey, where you wouldn't have had to do so if you had jost drove your car the whole way.
Most of the US does not have high-density high-frequency public transport: meaning you usually have to walk for really long distances and wait a really long time.

"T-shirt maker Laugh It Off has won its fight against South African Breweries (SAB) over its right to mock the Carling Black Label brand."
This was quite a widely publicized law suite at the time and set a legal precident.
In the US however you don't have legal precidents. *sigh*

Sun developed Java for embedded systems, and then further for business systems,
investing enormous amounts of capital to create better technology. This was done
over the period of over a decade. For this they deserve IP protection.
The fact that Google is so closely copying their method means that *whatever*
patents Sun had on the Java VM, could easily be said to be infringed upon.
The details of course will play a part, but on the face of it myself I side
with Oracle. If Google wanted to do Java on the android, they should have
licensed the VM like everyone else, not stolen it.
What Google has done is exactly what the patent system was invented to
protect agaist.

they point out that they get paid only $10,000 a year, whereas the coal
they mine produces $100,000,000 a year in electricity revenues.

Image 13 boxes each containing 13 revolvers.
One revolver has one bullet in it.
Now imagine being offered $100,000 to pick a box, and then pick a revolver and then shoot yourself with it.
That 1000:1 odds.

Check out:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_solar_thermal_power_stations
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_nuclear_power_stations
Now considering that one nuclear power station usually generates 1 to 5 GIGAwatts, and these generate in the order of TENS OF MEGAwatts, it is inconceivable to me how anyone can compare Solar to Nuclear.
The Linux kernel is not a company. Free software projects are a new kind of entity.
The debate is still open about whether it is correct to level "They should..." instructions at this kind of entity.
Possibly "I should..." statements are more appropriate.
