You can't raise the price, because then your opponent in the next election runs ads declaring that you're taxing poor innocent citizens to death. "I voted for fuel efficiency requirements" sounds a lot better than "I voted to raise gas taxes."
It has a car chase scene with a little kid in Iowa driving a classic 1960s car trying to evade a cop. Seriously. Mind-bogglingly stupid scene, but a surprisingly good movie.
Using stats from a web designer resource site like w3schools is obviously extremely misleading since it excludes non-technical people. You can't pretend it's on equal ground with using stats collected across a wide variety of different types of sites.
Yes, the reboot prompts are quite annoying. I like my odds better running an insecure linux delaying the reboot for a couple weeks than running an insecure windows doing the same, though, thanks to market share.
When I go to bed I usually have a dozen untitled kwrite windows with short notes in them, several browsers whose auto-reloading of tabs I don't 100% trust to keep half-typed forum posts and the like (though FF seems better lately), and various programs like korganizer which I've been too lazy to figure out how to schedule to automatically join the system tray at startup. So rebooting is a pain, yes.
If the owners of the compromised computers had to pay, they'd bother to notice and fix the problem and pay more attention to security (or avoid the internet).
And 'successful' means you have a (PROGRAMNAME)-users mailing list or forum with at least 100 active subscribers, who have all downloaded the product, and you can measure your number of downloads of any new version of the software in the hundreds of thousands.
Hire those people for the marketing department. A great developer without marketing skills will never meet that target.
And in each case, it's probably third party drivers and not Windows or Linux or OS X at fault. (In linux, ATI drivers have tended to cause lots of crashes. In windows, linksys has already been mentioned.)
Government can, however, get useful productivity out of people who would otherwise be unemployed. Better to have people working for government funded projects than to pay them the money as welfare checks instead.
Americans can read Xinhua's english news (and I do, sometimes). Chinese are usually blocked from western news in their language. Not having the option to look at other viewpoints is a bit different from just not bothering.
His parents were from Spain, and he grew up a bit of an outsider in Mexico because of that, so calling him latino is a little misleading.

The point of the deal was blatantly obvious: Microsoft paid Novell loads of money so that people like you will go around to places like slashdot making posts like the above to create the impression that linux is of questionable legality. Microsoft hopes that business people will get wind of your fears and therefore shy away from linux.
No. It's a ref="nofollow" link, it's not adding pagerank. As for views... slashdot's owners want to offer submitters those views to encourage good submissions, so why in the world should you object?
It does not matter that there are more GNU programs than Solaris programs. It matters that Sun needs to promise its current users backward compatibility, not break their applications. They'd go bankrupt in an instant.
either losing my sanity in the confines of ship I can't leave for months on end or waiting for my fellow shipmates to do the same
People have spent as long as 437 days in space. Whether you're on Mir (as Polyakov was) or in a ship going to Mars isn't going to make a lot of difference to morale. Might be better going to Mars, as at least you have a sense of progress instead of just being trapped circling forever.
The national anthem is all about defending the flag as well, not the country. Somehow, people feel much more strongly about symbols than they do about even what the symbol was supposed to represent.
When you come to the spot where silverlight is already widespread, you have years of work ahead of you to build that bridge and people are leaving your platform in droves already. By the time your bridge is built, linux on the desktop is dead and nobody will trust it again since they remember how they were burned the last time.

DOS apps? I'm pretty sure you'll need dosbox to run those on any platform.

Anyone who commits murder is entitled to protection from the lynch mobs. Why not soldiers who commit torture?
(B) long-range target shooting is a legitimate and popular sport.
Is there a point the sport anymore if you let the computer do the work?
Flash runs on ARM. Works on the Nokia internet tablets.

Because you can't just cut through miles of ice to get to the oceans of Europa.
the states have a much better record of fiscal responsibility.
Heh. Thanks giving me and all other Californians a good laugh.
Because Microsoft is paying Novell a whole lot more money to pay Microsoft for patent coverage, obviously.

Right. Europe has been so peaceful in recent centuries, while the USA mainland has been regularly invaded and occupied by foreign powers.
