This just means that booksellers are getting a hidden subsidy from French readers. Sure, you can make anything a success if you have the government enforcing your rent-seeking behaviour. But I wonder if the customers would be happy if it was laid out to them that this policy directly costs them a hidden X euros a year.

This is going to be a feature in Fedora 16 (it already works in earlier versions of Fedora, we're just polishing it). More screenshots.
You can also mount and modify virtual machines securely (including Windows VMs and VHDs), using libguestfs and guestmount.

PulseAudio sucks, but systemd is reasonable stuff. It's like upstart (but done right) combined with inetd.
Unlike what another reply says, systemd does not require changes to daemons.

The two times I've bought houses, you bet I read every single word of every document, even the ones I didn't have to sign. Not doing so is just laziness and stupidity when you're making such an enormous purchase.

Safe fast languages:
SML, OCaml and some of the other functional languages. Usually within a few % of the speed of C, and far safer.
However you're absolutely right in your list, and it's very unfortunate that programmers have forgotten or never even knew about these things.

If you track down The Secret Life of Machines Series 1, The Television Set you can see this sort of set (perhaps even this very set) being demonstrated.
AIUI you wouldn't want to turn this on for very long, or at least not without a fire extinguisher handy. Some of the electronics (capacitors I think?) are made of paper and after all this time have dried out and are prone to catching fire.

My experience is in data centres that I've seen and visited, not in power supplies. Show us a significant data centre that promises to run the whole thing from diesel generators.
Rich.
From my experience, I've seen data centres that have two supposedly redundant power supplies (usually this just means two paths into the data centre from the same supplier).
It seems unlikely/improbable to me that a data centre could be supplied from local diesel generators. The power consumption is just far too great. So your answer is "not safe at all".

You can change the underlying disks - we do this for virt-v2v.
Fixing
RAID/md is not used much by virtual machines (it's done on the host instead) so I can't comment on what problem you had.
Rich.
Please don't use
You cannot change the underlying disks (eg. to do migration or V2V) without the guest becoming unbootable.
Use filesystem UUIDs instead. These survive all sorts of migrations and conversions intact, and are even useful in the non-virtual case -- eg. if you swap SATA disks around.

Actually had a friend who worked in sales selling one of these services.
The way it works is this:
The company hires a room in Tokyo and fills it top to bottom with (legally purchased) decoder boxes. The output from these is sent over the internet to paying customers in foreign countries -- in the UK in the case of my friend. They get access to these "proxied" services, the idea being that they can watch Japanese TV programs from the UK without needing all the special satellite equipment.
The (stupid) copyright issue is down to regional licensing of TV programs and films, which is why the established broadcasters hate these services and try to portray them as criminal / pirates when of course they are no such thing.
Anyway, hope this explains a bit more what's going on here. I see it's
business as usual for openness and transparency in Japanese politics/law

Possibly a stupid idea, but why don't they make the SRB casing by wrapping layers of some rolled metal instead? You can roll out some metals basically indefinitely, and then you roll these up around the fuel to the thickness required.

I tell them to turn to the study of mathematics, for it is only there that they might escape the lusts of the flesh. -- Thomas Mann, "The Magic Mountain"
