This is completely wrong. Although there exists functionality in Ubuntu to report home all of your installed packages, this is purely on an opt-in basis. It doesn't do it if you don't want it to.
Not only is the Wii the cheapest next-gen console available, but it's also the only one being sold at a profit, it's breaking records everywhere, and it's a universally liked console. The people over at Nintendo must be happy.
That's funny, I'd ask people left-of-center the same thing (except a few issues...)
Different people are brought up differently, and therefor have different values. It's really not hard to understand. Some people think that a mother should be able to have an abortion, and others think this is killing a [potential] life. I think it's certainly debatable, even [especially?] among intelligent, articulate, educated people.
Variety is [almost] always good. It gives everybody a reality check.
"By lowering the cost of patent litigation the risk would be reduced - and we wouldn't have to wait so long or force so many people to pay protection money in the course of business."
But if the cost of patent litigation was reduced, wouldn't there be *more* patent trolls because of the reduced costs? There would be less to lose.

That pretty much sums it up. Microsoft is inherently evil, and the sooner they fall, the better, IMHO. So when I tell someone to use Linux, I'm helping that purpose, and besides, Windows isn't any better Linux, and Linux is free, so why not?

Why pay for a digital copy? Easy. Convenience.
I believe Zonk is talking about paying for a digital copy of the show.
As well as the fact that in order to make a net profit per console, they'd need to sell as many for $100 profit as they did for a $100 loss.

1. Attach a Solar Cell to a battery.
2. Attach the battery to a wireless router.
3. ???
4. Profit!!!
I'm sure it's one of those.
I hope that was some sort of joke, but in case it wasn't, here you go:

I get to have Tux on my credit card? Where do I sign up?!
I think I know a good amount most net radio stations should be paying... $0
I still can't believe SoundExchange has the right to do what they're doing.
Why do you think they submitted the article anonymously in the first place? ;-)
If you don't know what was said there, you probably don't need to know.

I'm sorry for being such an idiot, and not making the distinction. Please shoot me.

You can't forget about the extreme cold. Space is a very, very cold place. One might think frostbite could be an issue.
The Chief and his wife also survived in open space for about 5-10 seconds on Battlestar Galactica, Season 3, "A day in the life".

What if they don't try, and many people die because of it?
Worse yet, it might hit a main tube from me to the intarblags! GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY INTARBLAGS!!!
For once, I really do welcome our overlords.
No. But Vista is relevant to alienation. This has been driving people away from Windows, and in some cases, into Linux.
Or open source their own drivers ;-)
Not only that; If more people run Linux, more hardware vendors will be willing to make drivers for their products. This is a Good Thing.

As long as you get payed less, for doing less work, I don't see a problem, either.
Maybe that's *Why* it's getting withheld longer?
