Yo dawg, we heard you likes viruses, so we put a virus on your microscope, so you can get phished while you observe viruses though your microscope, dawg.
Without a classical information channel (speed of light) to confirm whether or not you pwned that noob, you would be faced with a Schrödinger's teabagging paradox.
The moon has a completely insurmountable 1.2 second ping. Even if a first generation move to the moon, their kids won't put up with a 1.2+ second ping in halo, and will move back to earth when they are 16. So you see, it won't be sustainable.
That video is so lame that it caused me physical pain.
I actually had a great windows XP install party. The release coincided nicely with the start of university. It was bring at least some alcohol and a pre-determined piece of the.rar file. Some guy turned up already pissed, and had about 4 pieces of the rar on a iomega zip disk (remember those?). We assembled all the pieces and started in unrar, but one of his pieces was corrupt.
With luck, scandisk fixed his zip disk so we got a valid iso. Re-downloading just one piece would have been a show stopper on our 56k modems. We had a keg and FCKGW posters. Shit was so cash.
In the economics of spam, let us call the vanishingly small number of people converting zero point zero.
There are an unlimited number of idiots that will buy the service of spammers, lose money, go out of business and be replaced... so spamming will NEVER go away. QED, "legitimate" web advertising will also never go away.
Many years ago I fixed someones windows installation. The user originally complained about a subtle windows annoyance, and a system that was running a bit slow. What I found when I started digging, was the most badly infected computer I have EVER seen to date. Many of the viruses were craftily avoiding all attempts at removal, so I backed up data only and reinstalled. Some of the backup was useless due to an encrypting virus.
A week later that original annoyance was back. It turns out that on the same day, the user had downloaded kazaa and all the programs they felt were MUST HAVE, and with a combination of screen savers, custom mouse pointers, and other assorted crap recreated the exact same malware+virus infected state.
So basically everyone from lusers to geeks have in their mind what their ideal system is, and from a fresh install we tweak towards that OS ideal.
Who can be bothered with that. Any new laptop is probably going to have a bunch of cores and hardware virtualization, so put ubuntu on that, and virtualize XP and 98.

They probably didn't want to discriminate against transgender slashdot users.
But would you be able to smuggle it though airport security?
Grub?

We would like your help in testing and improving the pre-release version, but we don't yet recommend its use in production environments.
I'm afraid not.

A common misconception.
It's actually the year the Mayans predicted as the year of the linux desktop.

That is so true it's painful.

Ok, so which 3D gfx card should I buy for use under linux with decent performance?
Your idea completely fails if it isn't already on the market.
NO! Don't roll your own crypto. This is madness!

OpenSSL is available for windows; use that.

You mean it will be widely deployed in Asia, be very cheap, better compression and without DRM?
Sounds good.

I copied this idea from Microsoft.com and put: Administrator, Domain
as my name for my small business site.
Sometimes I even get physical mail with "Dear Mr Domain Administrator..."
Who can be bothered with that.

This sounds like a nightmare.
I prefer IRC where everyone is always idle, and you can get some peace and quiet.
You can also text "hands free" using let's set so double the killer delete select all.
What are the drawbacks?
