Microsoft is doing what they think is in their best interest. Their purpose isn't to justify your education, or try and boost the number of CS majors. Their purpose is not to give you, or anyone else, employment. Nor is that the purpose of any company.
This is why they released their software into the public domain... Oh wait, that wasn't them. And look, they even trademarked "Software should be free". How kind of them.
This has nothing to do with religion. This is a bunch of do gooders who think they are smarter than everyone else, and therefore, have the duty to step into the lives of others. It's called "Liberal Fascism" and seems to be growing by the day.
Now, scientists from around the world are waiting for pieces of this strange ice to conduct their own tests and determine whether Alaska's frozen grounds contain untapped, clean-burning energy.
Clean-burning? Sure. But at $4.6 million a gallon, I'll stick with oil.

And corporate profits are related to working class taxes and the deficit?
Did you just draw an imaginary line between SMS messages and taxes?
That is why any "push" technology sucks: You get a lot of chaff and very little wheat.
Just start screwing around. Build some stuff in it. Work on some open source stuff. You should be able to pick it up easily.
Once they're broadcast it over free television, they're not allowed to restrict or charge for it again
WOW! I didn't know we could come up with laws out of our ass!
I deem it illegal to speak the word "flauga". So shall it be written, so shall it be done!
One thing that many seem to be forgetting is that short excerpts are defined as fair-use.
No, they're not.
In the beginning, there was nothing, which somehow exploded.
I'm usually in the "whatever, they have to do business" crowd with google, but this isn't in any grey area, it's downright black.
How so? You want to play in India, you play by their rules. You can argue that India is doing the black, but Google is just playing by the rules.
We've come a long way, haven't we?

Pfft. Encryption-schyption. I'd like to see them eavesdrop on my station wagon trunk full of quarter-inch tapes!
Responible parenting means taking responability for parenting your child. It does not mean having the Government step in and do it for you.
Instead of complaining about the ad, it would have been better to talk to their children about it.

A lot, kid.
Has anyone actually used one of these services for a real inquiry?

Activities at the party included lip-syncing to crappy songs, doing dangerous stunts, dropping mentos into diet coke, and trading bad SNL sketches.

Because Wikipedia contains information, 'facts', figures and data.
Oh man... That's a good one!
Gives a whole new meaning to the term "wetware".
