I'm not.

I think you're opening pandora's box by endorsing OS discrimmination. The equation will look like:

OpenBSD Price =
    - 20% discount for no viruses
    + 200% surcharge for probably hosting their own server
    + 200% surcharge for being a smartass to tech support

= 480% of Windows price.

So instead of delivering e-mail right away, you hold it for a bit, 5-10 minutes or something. Your system then looks at the mails it gets and uses template matching to find spams and axe them.

Come on now, MP3? I've been listening to MPEG-4 encoded audio for what, 6 years now? Even Microsoft (Zune) plays MPEG-4 audio.

In short, who gives a shit. Next.

Earth's magnetic polls don't line up with its geographic polls... It's close (somewhere around 13 degrees and moving away IIRC), but not there...

They have to reasonably reflect the legal expenses incurred and the defendant's ability to pay.

Not necessarily; in family law the rules get a bit different as to who can get charged what. In general civil litigation you can get hit with a $400,000 attorneys fee award even if you're broke.

Ok, but more importantly Nokias profit are slipping, while Apple now make more profit with their iphone, than Nokia do with ALL their phones.

Profit is the most important measure of how well a company is doing, and Nokia are suffering.

That is why the recently announced that they are going to concentrate more on smartphones. That is where the money is. Of course, they might be too late, just like Microsoft.

N900 might be an amazing phone, technically, but most people don't, and never have cared about that. They care about how nice it is to use. Most people here still don't seem to understand that.

If they do let you create your own questions, a trick I've used was to change the security questions into secondary password fields.

Yuck. I think those sites often store the password recovery answers unencrypted (especially places like banks with phone support) and may have questionable security, so if your previous jobs still use those passwords you're putting them at risk.

It'd be awfully hard, especially with the relatively high unemployment we have now in the US, to expect everyone who applies for a job to gain access to a full disclosure of all the political positions of the top executives/big boss etc. so that one could "opt out" of employment by companies with whom you disagree politically. And to quit when they find out later.

When truth can be proven there is truth. When falsehood can be proven there is falsehood. Advocacy doesn't enter into it. Black is not white. Obama is a U.S. citizen. Hillary Clinton hasn't murdered anyone. Rush Limbaugh has used illegal drugs. Both Obama and G.W. Bush used illegal drugs before they were President. Those are all objectively true, regardless of advocacy. If you say the opposite, it's a lie regardless of advocacy.

"The health care bill will raise the budget deficit" is a statement that can be defended as at least being in the realm of the possible. "The heath care bill creates death panels that will decide to kill your grandma" is not. If demonstrably false statements are coming from a program claiming to be delivering the news, it's not news, and they should at least be liable for false advertising and at most for libel.

The current bar for political speech is so high that you can make any baseless accusation against anyone in public office with absolutely no repercussions. That's too high.

Trust that Linus will pick someone to take over where he leaves off. I think that Andrew Morton would do a great job.

Firefox doesn't have particularly fast DOM manipulation (thanks, XPCOM), so this doesn't contradict what I wrote. How does Wave fare on Opera?

We have a PostGIS database and just using the data available from the USGS and various state mapping agencies, our database is around 300 MB for roads, town, and zip code boundaries for the United States. Granted I'm sure that will be increasing as more data is added. It is an on going process.

Side note - I heard that Cisco either recently bought or was strongly considering buying Tandberg. In that case, I have to wonder what will happen to Tandberg - will it be streamlined into Cisco Telepresence, or will Tandberg remain a "Brand" of Cisco (aka linksys) while having the Cisco stamp on it?

You forgot to make one more step: look up the definition of a "corporatist economic system" on Wikipedia. Let me do it for you:

Corporatism is a system of economic, political, or social organization where corporate groups such as agricultural, business, ethnic, labour, military, patronage, scientific, or religious groups are joined together into a single body in which the different groups are mandated to negotiate with each other to establish policies in the interest of the multiple groups within the body. The word "corporatism" is derived from the Latin word for body, corpus. This meaning is not connected with the contemporary inaccurate and pejorative use of corporatism to describe politics that is dominated by business corporations. Corporatism views society as being alike to an organic body in which each corporate group is viewed as a necessary organ for society to function properly. Corporatism is related to the sociological concept of functionalism. Countries that have corporatist systems typically utilize strong state intervention to direct corporatist policies and to prevent conflict between the groups.
