More like "oh, you've got a Tesla? Isn't that the car company that sued Top Gear? Hahaha!"

And besides all that, I really don't think the world needs yet another GPL-incompatible licence. You effectively wall off your code from being used in the vast majority of the ecosystem and vice-versa, and you end up with a scenario like Sun's CDDL where developers have a disincentive to work on your code due to its incompatible licensing, and they have to jump through hoops to integrate it with anything else. Unless those effects are desirable to you, you're better off just picking a compatible licence[3].

I've found it rarely even comes up, unless you're talking about family with coworkers or something, and by that point you're probably already hired/funded/'in' and will have already overcome any potential stereotypes that someone might otherwise have had about you.
But that's in terms of general savings. For retirement more specifically, you should definitely start now if you can afford it, due to the effects of compound interest. Try playing around with an interest calculator[1] to see why. But perhaps the best reason is that once you're 40 and have had a few curve balls thrown at you, you'll appreciate that regardless of how things turned out, you'll have put yourself in a good place financially for the long-term.
For the record, I'm in my mid-20s myself, and across my Roth and my employer's SEP-IRA, around 20% of my income is going towards retirement (with other non-retirement savings on top of that). I've set up my direct deposit such that the Roth contributions are totally automatic. It just gets dumped into three index funds: US Stock, Intl Stock, and Bonds. I basically never need to think about the accounts except when rebalancing. It's nice.

Also, are your 401k and IRA/Roth fully funded? Be sure to do that first. (Assuming USA resident here)
Weeks? That's pretty obnoxious.
The lack of feedback is pretty standard. Companies are scared stiff that they'll get sued for something they say, so they try to say as little as possible.
Also installable in Ubuntu.
I'm also somewhat tired of upgrading every 6 months just so that I can have up-to-date applications; I may switch back to Debian proper.
The last five major events were in 1315, 1470, 1630, 1725, and 1868, which have intervals of about 140 years (note that 2008 is 140 years from the major 1868 event).
If a major earthquake were to occur on the fault, damage would be catastrophic. More than 1.5 trillion U.S. dollars in property exists in the affected area, and more than 165 billion US dollars in damage would likely result if the 1868 quake were to recur.
The estimated probability of a major earthquake on the Hayward within the next thirty years was estimated at nearly 30 percent, compared to about 20 percent for the San Andreas Fault, which can have larger earthquakes but farther away from a significant portion of the urbanized parts of the Bay Area.

The best and simplest way is to simply maintain separate accounts, such that the separation is enforced in your head.
Oh. Okay.
And that $100 would only get you 20GB, so you'd be limited to a total of around 2.5 of those 1080p movies you're apparently throwing around (assuming a conservative 8GB each). And it'd take approximately a million years to sync them on any typical home broadband connection. And you'd better not be doing that over 3G, oh boy.
No, moving to THE CLOUD just gives you a different set of problems.
