Are you saying I have to pay royalties to the music companies even if I'm not burning my CD-R's with their music? What if I burned performances of my own garage band? Or my data? Or an ISO image of a Linux distro?

In Malaysia we only have 1 phone company. Local calls used to be flat-rate, but since we opened up an ISP here, they started metering (since the dialup service is a phone call away). Telekom profits tremendously from this, despite protests from users. Oh well... I guess that's what happens when monopolies have too much power.
If you're working for a company that as an MS-only policy, well... I read this punchline in a Dilbert comic: "Ethics? That's an issue for people who aren't already in hell"
This is eeriely similar to "Night Watch" from babylon 5, where some people on the station had to report "suspicious" and "unpatriotic" behavior in their friends to a dictator-led government.

At the University of Science, Malaysia (where I am studying computer science), we were introduced to Linux and gcc and vi :)
Guess we were lucky, huh?
I played SimEarth too, and I remember that the ice comets didn't release oxygen....

Getting shot is not fatal, just bad for your health
You can find roast chicken and pizza lying under some old boxes on the street...
...and you get healthier by eating it!
In space, constant thrust means constant speed, even with no air resistance
No matter how badly damaged your ship is, it still performs at peak efficiency
I simply hooked the line-out jack on my soundcard to my line-in jack on my stereo using a standard audio cable that cost around a buck.
