No other mapping service can get this prime real estate - it's Google only and it's not "uninstallable".

You forget that you are free to choose any of the other search engines out there including MSN errr... Live.... errr... Bing.... errrr... what the hell is Microsofts search called now? Oh yea, Yahoo.

I guess no one from Anonymous could work at a gas station.. or deity forbid, the government.... where they might have access to the network.

Simply making enough key or authentication requests under the right circumstances might be enough to break the system; I don't know. I do know that with physical access to the network (which is not outside the realm of possibility) your security drops by orders of magnitude and unless there is no "over-ride" for the gas station attendant (which introduces a whole new batch of issues) there is access to the network.

I don't think anyone disputes the necessity of auto insurance or the laws requiring it. What is at discussion is what is probably a broken implementation of a Draconian scheme.

Since when has a politician saying things during a campaign been something believable?

I agree 100%

I view man pages in Konqueror (man:command in the URL bar). I love having a nice pointy-clicky file browser with a konsole window attached ( settings -> Show Terminal Emulator ).

I believe what GP is *trying* to allude to is "common carrier" status. However, Google is not a carrier in this respect.

Google is also heavily invested in MySQL internally. Just another reason this would have made a good pairing.

David Lightman was able to launch nukes with just a payphone and a pull-tab.

That was MacGyver, not this "David Lightman" character. Jeesh.

I don't follow how your statement agrees with authors summation of the article:

So my recommendation for all Trinity users is to either try again KDE Plasma 4.8 or to give razor a try. Trinity is no project anybody could seriously recommend and a stock KDE 3.5 is most likely a better solution than Trinity.
