Do you have any justification for this statement? Do web applications somehow subtract more from the web than they add to it? Or is it just some random guy's opinion that people should not make web applications?
a) Chrome was the only browser available -or- b) Chrome was actually blocking content
I would agree with you. It would be a big deal. However, no one is forcing you to do jack shit. If you are really that scared of the Chrome EULA, don't use Chrome.
If the question had been "Which of these words is least like the others?" I would whole-heartedly agree with you. However, the phrasing clearly indicated that they are referring to the objects themselves, rather than the symbols that represent the objects.
Once you realize this, you are left with only two choices:
1) The answer is Potato, because a potato is a vegetable and the others are fruits. 2) The colors of the Potato, Peach, and Pear are vaguely similar, leaving the Apple as the outlier.
#1 is obviously the better answer. A potato is clearly in another classification from the other three.
As for the crap you tried to pull where you tried to reason that their could be "2 answers", drop it. It's said, "Which is the _least_ similar". So, obviously, if there are two answers, you are barking up the wrong tree.
I don't particularly have an opinion on this matter, but I just wanted to obliterate the point you were trying to make:
The parent said:
"The basic philosophy behind veganism is reduction of suffering of all animals"
You said:
Insects are entities as well...
Vegans want to reduce the suffering of animals, insects are not animals, they are insects.

That candy bar that costs $1 costs $0.10 to ship and $0.50 to produce. It also takes up physical real-estate in the store. You also have to take into account the cost to design the candy bar and the factories you must build to produce the candy bar.
A song takes up 3MB of space on a server (which costs like what...1/100 of 1 cent), costs a very negligible amount to reproduce, and requires no factory to reproduce. The only thing the song costs to create is the initial investment of time by the artist and the use of studio resources to record the song.
I have no idea how much a song costs to produce, but we'll say $50,000. That's 3 full months of work for the artist making $160,000 per year and $10,000 for the recording fees, which seems more than fair.
If 10 million songs are sold at 10 cents each, that's a profit margin of 95%, which only goes up if more copies are sold, which they will be.
I like how you bash "them" for being controlling, yet you support the us being "forced" to use open source software. I have a right to use whatever hell software I want to use, thank you very much.
Explain how Microsoft is a monopoly now. In the OS market, you have Linux, OSX, etc. In the browser market you have Firefox, Chrome, Opera, etc.
Microsoft has used unfair practices in the past, and they got pounded for it. Bundling an essential application with an operating system is not an unfair practice. Should they get sued for including notepad too? If an OS can't include an internet browser, then what can it include?
You'd think the people here on Slashdot would... realize browsers are core to 21st century operating systems.
Exactly. Saying that Microsoft must bundle Firefox with Windows is like telling Craftsman that with every cordless drill they sell, they have to bundle an extra battery made from someone else. If you want another browser, download it!

When I lived in Provo, UT I got 15/15 for $40 per month and a $100 setup fee. Now I live in Texas and I get 10/1 for $65 through Charter. It makes me sad.
If Microsoft sells 70 million copies of office and it costs $5 (that's high) to package and ship and $700 million to produce (that also likely high), then they are spending $15 per package (making $385), which gives them a 96% profit margin. Apple would need a 65% profit margin to match that, and even though they do probably have a relatively high profit margin, that's ridiculous for a hardware company.

But still they should not do that.

But no one is being impersonated. Is it illegal for a business to place an advertisement next to a competitor's advertisement in the yellowpages? No.
Just a note, it would be 100 MHz of spectrum.

sudo make me a sandwich
Everything stayed running... the failures consisted or power cords coming out
So by "running" I think they mean "didn't break"

I completely fail to see how a range of 40-80 (after all, you did say "habitable temperatures" for humans), is better than a range of 5-30.
He said "habitable" not "comfortable".
What would the unions do? Go on strike?
That assumes that each subscriber will need a new Kindle every year and that the only thing the Kindles will be used for is reading the NYT.

Since each Chrome tab runs in a separate process, will users not be able to open several Chrome tabs?
That'll run fine on any platform I throw at it.
I'll want every ounce of performance I can throw at it.
You sure do like throwing stuff around.

Doesn't that defeat the purpose?
Office costs $400ish retail.
A MacBook costs retail.

Chrome isn't ready for prime time
Agreed. It's quite interesting that it is still loads better than IE, though.
