Shareholders don't care purely about profit; they want growth because they want more profit. If Netflix doesn't grow, it's doomed to fail.

This was my first thought. Internet content is funded by ads. I can see cars being cheaper if you opt in for in car advertising.
I grew up with the original CGA Flight Simulator, so what Microsoft has done with this release is fantastic. I'd buy and enjoy it, warts and all, except I don't own a PC anymore.
Not *totally* his work. I used to date Barbara, his editor. She said his stuff came in with weird lines he didn't correct, coffee mug stains, etc. She had to fix almost every cartoon.
Cathy, on the other hand, always came in clean as a whistle.
I also used to date Barbara, but I was usually off by a month or two.
The Kernel Newbies site isn't accessible for me, clearly they're using 3.7.
I don't know what version of Cinnamon is available for Fedora 16 but it just crashed my system after using up 14.8Gb of virtual mem. It was promptly deleted as soon as I logged in again.

I did all the hard work for you:
I love the irony of discussions on bad user interfaces on a site with a bad user interface!
I have a Lenovo at work that runs Fedora 14 beautifully. Performance is excellent and graphically it does everything I need, which is typically web development. Though I do quite a bit of browsing in chrome. The default graphics card is fast enough, and I presume it's an inboard Intel chipset. I don't know what CPU it has but I'm guessing it's two years old; it was someone's hand me down.
Good luck getting Drupal to as an RPC server using json. I spent days trying to get this working with my Python client and failed terribly.
Open source it and then no-one will care.
"we may not have control over what they do with it."
Haha - guess Facebook has everything covered. You can't sue Facebook if your info gets into the wrong hands. But the info can't get into the wrong hands because Facebook won't allow it. Unless they give it out. That's why we shouldn't use Facebook.
We store our home photos on CDs and only print the really good photos at Walmart/Blacks/Shoppers etc. This saves us money but we get to keep some photos that aren't good enough to print but worth keeping all the same. So we're almost "paperless" in that sense. But a paperless office needs a solid backup strategy but what backup medium can survive in the long run 100%? An office (or home user) could burn to CD/DVD but how long will they last before they become inaccessible?
After a number of decimal places, nobody gives a damn.
