While B&N doesn't operate in Europe, Amazon most certainly does - in fact the Kindle is absolutely everywhere this Christmas, here in France.

Eh, both "..." and + worked just fine last I checked.

You're probably thinking of Apple. They used to use Skyhook, but then decided to use their own tech.

The big difference with CSS3 is that instead of one huge all-encompassing standard it's broken up into modules. Each module goes through the process independently of the others.
Two modules (colors and selectors) are currently Proposed Recommendations, with eight more being Candidate Recommendations.

For domains you could try Gandi or Hover, both of which generally get high marks.
Gandi is a French company, so that should give some protection against trigger-happy US companies.

As for hosting there's certainly plenty to choose from, but I'm quite happy with WebFaction. It's even one of the few shared hosts that tells you how much memory you can use (upgradeable). As long as you don't intend to do reselling they're hard to go wrong with.
It's a UK company, but their servers are in Texas (at The Planet).

It's called ExtUSB.
From Wikipedia:

I've had this problem myself once.
Thankfully, Symantec provides a removal tool. Many other AV vendors do the same.

Indeed. Hosting your own servers is just silly, considering the many (affordable) options out there.

As for specifics:

• HostGator -- Never used them myself, but seems to be fairly good for what they are: A massively oversold shared hosting. And remember: There's no such thing as unlimited bandwidth.
• DreamHost -- Much like HostGator, except opinions seems to be even more split. Many will recommend them - just as many will tell you horror story upon horror story.
  Seems like it's a good place to avoid for anything important.
• WebFaction -- Where I eventually ended up. (Supposedly) not oversold and full non-root shell access. Feature-wise the next step up would be a full-blown VPS. It's a UK company with UK support hours, but the servers are hosted with The Planet in Texas.
  Don't think I have seen anything but positive comments concerning them.

I guess Snowball would be more appropriate.

Actually, Windows Mail (the one that comes with Vista) is just Outlook Express with a new coat of paint.
Live Mail, on the other hand, should be an entirely new client.

Because it doesn't taste the same? Where it is made has a lot to say in how it tastes. Also, Burgundy can be made from other grapes than just Pinot Noir (which is a grape, not a style).

And it is certainly true of wine as well. Soil and weather both have a big influence on the final product.

Actually it's already available in the form of FroydVillain. It's what I'm currently using and it seems to be working well enough - have had a few spurious FCs, but other than that nothing that I have noticed. And it's certainly fast.

The difference is that in the case of Apple the premium is mostly justified.

Titanium Backup should be able to do it.

Actually, with Windows Phone 7 Microsoft has set a limit on the number of pre-installed apps (8 I believe) and they have to go through the same review process as any marketplace app.
