Actually, I find a bomb unlikely. Look at it again. Do you think that thing would survive long over enemy territory? That's what the stealth bombers are for. This thing will likely be used as radar drones, in my opinion. Or a scout.
That is because the major player listened to the public outcry that when up after the Novel deal. They are have a lot to lose if the community doesn't like their movements. The small ones, on the other hand, seem to be largely small players that try to exist as commercial software (correct me if I'm wrong). They survive by selling their respective distributions rather than having a large community behind them.
Submitting to M$'s patent deals is borderline admitting to infringing patents. Which increases the risk of lawsuits against other distros. Linux likely does infringe on some patents, but certainly not 235 and probably not intentionally.
Maybe it will be on the Christmas wish-list of all environmentally-conscious or budget-strapped geeks everywhere. Because they don't have time to release it for anything else.
When NASA says "90 days" of useful life they really mean they've planned for a full year. Even by that estimate, they have performed 3.5 times better than expected!
I agree. Don't give starving people fish. Give them fishing poles. "Give a man a fish; you have fed him for today. Teach a man to fish; and you have fed him for a lifetime. Unless he doesn't like sushi--then you also have to teach him to cook."
I know that NASA uses Linux, but do the rovers? Or do they have a completely customized OS? It's not like the rovers have/need USB ports or other standard desktop components (unless they were used to interface during testing while on Earth).
The only way to prevent that from happening again is to temporarily turn off System Restore, and turn it back on if you actually want it.
To turn it off: Right-click "My Computer" (might be in the Start menu)>>"Properties">>"System Restore" tab>>Uncheck the little box that says something about enabling system restore (it's the only such box in there).
WARNING! This will erase all of your currently existing restore points. If you resume using system restore, re-check the box and create a restore point from Start Menu>>Programs>>Accessories>>System Tools>>System Restore
Your point has merit to it, although I do not think that any major ISP would block access to youtube. It's just too popular, and customers would throw a fit if it was blocked. Less popular sites, torrent/pirate sites, and Linux distros might realistically be blocked (Linux distros because of all the ISOs involved). Maybe even Slashdot, because of the Slashdot effect (at least until all geeks everywhere boycott that ISP and advise n00bs asking for advice to do the same.)

You're right. A bus ticket to Redmond is cheaper.
Thank you. I feel more at peace already. By the way, I have a plane ticket to Japan, but I still need a chainsaw. May I borrow yours?

One could make an argument that SuSE is a major distro.

My sentiments exactly.
There are 10 types of gamers. Get it right.
...OS were the servers running?
Your link is broken.

I like how your sig relates to your post.
...welcome back our old hand-held robotic overlords.
What is C3? (besides a plastic explosive)

People need to learn the meaning of sarcasm.

You mean sarcastic satire.
Lots of PETA activists as bait to lure it into charging through a pesticides factory.
My grandparent post did sound a little harsh, didn't it? I had forgotten about the geo-monopolies.
With interest and after you account for inflation.
