As a Linux user I'd have to say that this is a really shitty solution. The only people that dual boot are those that really, and I mean fucking really, need to (and unless they are bound by hardware compability these often use a VM solution instead) and those that have Linux installed for the "cool hacker" factor.
Rationalism will be considered the human trait above all others. If you can't prove it, it's worthless.
This perfect world you're describing I would take to dinner, propose to, marry, make love to, raise a family of little perfect worlds, grow old with and finally together we would share the same grave.
Here's my philosophy on this: put some trust in wikipedia, put not trust in someone who puts some trust in wikipedia. Meaning while you can learn from wikipedia you should never use it as a source, but rather as a source of inspiration. And if you're a come-see-the-ads-on-my-page-guy (journalist, yes the title has been changed, go with it) you should NEVER exclusively use wikipedia as a source. However previously, when come-see-the-ads-on-my-page-guys were called journalists they actually did something called research, and this includes validating your sources. When the title change was upon them this concept became legend. Thus the come-see-the-ads-on-my-page-guy from spiegel.de didn't bother to click the history of the page, or read the conversation, or double check it elsewhere.
My question is, why are we questioning the authenticity of wikipedia and not the authenticity of todays journalism?
Have you personally gone through the millions of lines of code in the Linux kernel to make sure that there isn't a backdoor? No? Then you're just taking someones word for it.
The probability of corrupted information should be lower when investigation can be done by anyone, for there will be a diversity of reports, much like any scientific research. However when the research is isolated, you're bound to only hear one side of the story.
Personally, I'm quite happy with no Silverlight and Gnash for Flash viewing (set to start in "pause" mode).
So you're saying that we don't need another platform for epelepticly blinking ads that jump around your monitor and covers 90% of the page you're trying to read? This is outrageous!
The are dozens of scientific theories which we treat as truth.
What the hell are you talking about? There are no multiple truths for the same subject in science, that's why the word theory exists, as in "probable explanation". And what the fuck is up with your last sentence? Of course evolution is true, fucking read what I write before you answer my post.
Hahaha you have to love that fucking thing, what's the point of asking someone anything unless you can assume they speak of the truth!? My point is, why the fuck is congress wasting their time with this bullshit? Why not automaticaly put everyone under oath? You'd get a lot more shit done, instead of trying to lead a society with facts based on bullshit. Defectivebydesign, y'know?
Which is why we, the smarter quote of men, looked for and found a secure channel. The myth goes: "Linux is way to difficult for you", the truth goes: "You'll never find my porn stash, hehehe, hehe, heh".
Sure sure... but did your browser display the ads properly? Oh wait, you thought reporters are supposed to write the truth! It's an honest mistake, the job title kind of tricks one into it. We should change that by the way, I think come-see-the-ads-on-my-site-guy would be a more suitable title.
According to TFA the music industry are now depended on Apples iTunes Store due to the major revenue. How come none of the labels have launched a similair service (it's not really the most original idea of all times)? I doubt they're lacking funds. If the itch is too annoying, why are they entangling themselves into more dependency? I it's not like it gets easier to detach from iTunes Store with time. I don't know, but to me it seems that everybody that touches Apple becomes stuck to it in some way or the other. Sure it's great for business, if your name is Apple. For everyone else: please bend over and cough.
In a million ways perhaps? Mind you that the point here is not for better or for worse but that they do look similar. Try to see beyond the "skin" and you'd come to the conclusion that the panel has been on the bottom bearing the start menu button on its left side. The window borders have the _ [ ] [X] buttons on the right end and on the left you have the application icon that brings down a window properties drop down menu. Upon right clicking the desktop, which looks more or less the same, you will get a drop down menu that bears almost the same options as Win95 did. If you look around you'll notice that many things are similar to all previous Windows version starting Win95, and if you don't you need to try harder before replying to this post. In fact, the proportion changes made between Win 3.11 and Win95 have still not been topped, but ever since each new Windows version is very much similar to the previous, even though XP broke the chain of functionality over vanity with the shittiest default theme yet to come, it was still very much similar since even though you repaint your car, it's still remains the same car.
...Microsoft has taken criticisms on board where it matters most: in the software and services that it provides.
Where it matters most? Isn't that their entire business? Software and services. Apart from the XBOX series they really don't do much else than software and services. Is TFA author trying to sound dramatic or did I miss something?
The trick is to buy your weapon where it's legal and use it where people are defenseless. If you would restrict weapons to an extent where you would have severe difficulties to get a hold of any weapon, things would look a bit different.
No we don't. People will always hate eachother, conflict is necessary in our race. We can choke it, but sooner or later it will break loose. However what we don't need is false justification and religious delusion. It creates a parallell reality that doesn't comply with our world.
Hmmm. Lets take a long hard look at the crimes against humanity commited by atheists, shall we?
Haha you fucktard. Any sane human realises that atheism isn't practiced actively, it's the "default" state, since ultimately all religion is bullshit. Therefore suggesting that atheists have something in common other than being free from religious delusion is false. Plus Hitler was very much into the occult. You should look up Hitler and mysticism, and afterwards punch yourself twice in the face.

...which has now also been confirmed by Reuters.
Wait, didn't Wikipedia just kill the liability of journalism?
It's nice to have it confirmed that multinational service providers shelve morals in the pursuit of cash.
Really? So we didn't know this already?

Basicly this says that we must stop treating evolution as a theory and instead embrace it as truth. Once again Sherlock is stunned silent.

You mean their "Sex"-territories? Hehe, I feel like Austin Powers.
You didn't catch the sarcasm?
Is lying to Congress illegal? Is it considered perjury?
No but in RIAA's defence I think it's mandatory.
Not to mention one of the [gamer] testers managed to put out a fire behind a wall. At which point the victim went "ADMIN! HE'S HAXXING!!!".
Agreed. I only wish his words were "Say hello to my little friends." instead. Anywho, cudos there Billy.
That's just plain wrong. Bad reporter!

I don't understand why Australia hates the internet so much.
To Australia:
Stop hating internet and stop sticking your heads inside wild animals mouths. Remember chicks dig internet and solid craniums.
Fine, one question though: you think they do this out of good will or profit?
