"Gate One comes with the SSH plugin pre-installed and enabled." How do you pre-install something without access to my computer? So you do have to install something? and that installation involves installing a browser plugin, just like they specifically said that you did not need to do? Or are you saying that your online profile comes with an online "plugin" that is virtually "pre-installed" to your completely online account?
Lets pretend I am just a normal IE, firefox, or chrome user who has never heard of Gate One before. I do not even have an admin account and I am in a library that locks down their computers from change. Can I use Gate One? or does something need to be installed?
Gate One is a web-based Terminal Emulator and SSH client that brings the power of the command line to the web. It requires no browser plugins and is built on top of a powerful plugin system that allows every aspect of its appearance and functionality to be customized.
So it is a SSH client embedded in the web.
But the second half seems self contradictory to me. "It requires no browser plugins" but it is "built on top of a powerful plugin system" So it does not require any plugins, but is a plugin?

Democracy can hardly be considered at all comparable to individual choice. Whether in a dictatorship or a democracy both you and I have no choice or say in any national decisions. 1/1,000,000 of a choice is no choice at all. It is just one other way (an inherently flawed way in my opinion) to have the government make a choice for you.
"the citizens have limited or zero voice." But that is the entire point. Why would you want to live in a country that picked its rulers and policies by such a fundamentally flawed method?
Lets use some analogies. When it comes time to do your taxes do you (a) pay an expert to do them for you, or (b) ask a bunch of people how much they think you should pay and take an average. If you are ever in court do you (a) pay an expert to represent you, or (b) ask as many people as possible how to run your case and go with the majority?
From common sense life experience you yourself know that the majority decision is the wrong one for all of life's problems. And running a government is not a special magical case.
And individual freedom has nothing to do with democracy.
Communism does not really fit in that list. You can have a democratic communism. Many exist right now.
I would not say it is so much about picking good candidates that is important for success but in what training and performance measurements they use. If you measure success by how many votes you get in the next election then you get policies created to get votes in the short term.
really is that their are too many stupid people but that the group does not trump the individual and often adding more people to a problem just increases the probability of getting it wrong. It is not about people being stupid, it is just the psychology of groups.
Most pottery wheels I have seen are not actually wheels at all. A pottery wheel normally just sits on a spike and is only a wheel in that it is round and turns but could never be turned on its side. I know little about pottery, but I am extremely certain that you are wrong.
Exactly. unless you have a huge civilization that creates roads then the wheel is useless and unless you have huge civilizations working together it really does not even have a use. The hunting, gathering, and small scale farming does have not much use for the wheel. Many ancient civilizations even had knowledge of the wheel and simply did not use it.
With extensions it can be very similar for handling bookmarks. For me the biggest problem is the omnibar, it is so much more useless then the FF equivalent.
when do you even load a page that takes noticeably longer to load then just downloading it? For pretty much all web pages FF 3.6 was instant. Sure JS now runs 3 times faster, but even ten times the normal amount of JS would still run faster then humanly noticeable on FF 3.6
It does not matter if a page takes 300 or 100 ms to run JS, because we cannot react that fast.
Not that it matters. All of the money comes from shady and downright unethical and illegal business practices. Even if he gave every single cent away that would only make him neutral in ethics.
No it was poisonous, industrial alcohol has always needed to be poisoned to be legal they just changed the ingredients of this poison to stop people getting around it. And they did not add poison to kill people, they added it to make it not drinkable. They underestimated organised crime's greed and peoples desire for alcohol.
I assure you, at no point was anyone trying to secretly poison prohibition criminals.
To be fair they poisoned industrial alcohol that had poison labels on it, and it was no secret either. Industrial alcohol is used in quite a lot of applications, but to not be taxed for creating a alcoholic liquid the manufactures had to make it toxic. In the middle of prohibition when it was obviously not working, organized crime had hired chemists to de toxify the stuff, they increased the poisons put into the stuff to make it undrinkable again. This time apparently it was to much for the criminal chemists, not that that stopped them from selling it to everybody.
The US government did kill thousands and thousands doing this, but adding poisons to a products that is clearly labelled as poison is not a horrible crime.
1) It is hard enough, impossible really, to get all the bugs out for a single platform. Adding a few wine boxes (which would not even guaranty it works on all Linux systems) and making sure it works on them is not at all a insignificant task. Also Wine is really not all that great, you simple cannot get all games to work on it.
2) With all the MS tax, Windows is pretty much free. I personally own about 5 copies, have access to a cooperate pro version of XP, and can use any version of it for free indefinably because my university offers it to every student. If you wanted Windows for free You could most likely get a copy off of a friends old computer or you likely know someone whos work or school gives them access to tons of free take home versions of Windows. And to answer your question: because anyone stupid enough to pay for a copy deserves to pay that much.
"does it bother me that I should have to buy another piece of consumer hardware just to access "content" that I should be able to access with my Linux HTPC?"
Linux cannot play windows games, and this is not due to some content blocks from greedy publishers. Portal was never released onto Linux, so even if you got a Linux steam client you still could not play it. Just install Windows on your computer if you want to play video games.

Can I use Gate One? or does something need to be installed?
DVDs are already digital.
So does that mean that to use the SSH you need to install the Gate One "SSH capabilities" plugin or not?
I still don't understand what they mean by that sentence.
Gate One is a web-based Terminal Emulator and SSH client that brings the power of the command line to the web. It requires no browser plugins and is built on top of a powerful plugin system that allows every aspect of its appearance and functionality to be customized.

So long as you are told what to expect when you sign up for it.
Even a latency of a second is not horrible for many purposes, while others need under a couple hundred ms to even be usable.

Is there a torrent or something now?
If the boss says no then it is not worth going against him.
But as long as you are not installing anything then he should be reasonable.

ya, they are missing out on all these awesome new features Mozilla has added.

Not quite as good as FF used to be but it is not bad after you get used to it.
Not that it matters.

"Until you graduate. Or does your university also offer it to alumni?"
Don't know, but I would hope that they would of given a big warning when I downloaded it if they planed to remotely break my computer at some point.
Can institutions do this? Is MS willing to turn off working licences for corporations?
