I gather though that a jury wouldn't find the same true if the circumstances were me claiming I "accidentally" shared my 15,000 song music directory on limewire.
I could see it happening: You are sharing C:, and therefore your music directory.
Do you complain when/. links to blogs? Those people without blogs may occasionally have something unique to say but it doesn't happen often enough to justify a formal site for it.
They have been put out but are simply not selling large enough numbers to justify additional investment.
Why would a hard-core gamer buy a Linux game (other than to show support) when only a subset of the games they play are available in Linux? A lot of people won't dual-boot to play all their games in Windows while doing everything else in Linux. How many would dual boot to do most tasks and most of their gaming in Windows and boot to Linux to only play some of their games? No, we need many of the most popular games ported to Linux for a gamer to justify using it as a platform. We need Crysis, WoW, Halo, StarCraft 2, Grand Theft Auto, Call of Duty, Final Fantasy, Half-Life, Counterstrike, Civilization, C&C...you get the idea.
No one publisher can force a transition to Linux on it's own, and few gamers will lobby for such a transition if they can't switch completely.
Without fancy games, I have no incentive to buy a new $400 video card every 3 months like some acquaintances of mine do (or even have a standalone card at all).
And if one tenth the windows users would all send me a buck, I'd have even more cash, so thats the easy way to go
Little fish in a big pond. You have hundreds of competitors fighting for that dollar, and most of them are much bigger than you are. You ain't getting 10%.
On Linux you can count your commercial competitors on one hand (use binary), and most are the same size as you, if not smaller.
A while back Slashdot pointed us to this blog, in which the blogger pointed out how having Linux and Mac ports attracted a lot of attention and even boosted the sales of their Windows versions.
I don't really care either way, though I would not be surprised that if sports are desegregated and if most women don't make it past the 85th percentile in the rankings, women's lib groups might start ranting about how the sport itself is biased or something.
This is why we need a standard video format. AFAIK, only Chrome and Safari support h264 (which is the format Google's using on that page). Mozilla, Chrome, and Opera support Ogg. IE must be betting on silverlight or something, because they've stayed out of the video tag debate.
A technical demo on the most popular video site on the internet. A website that is using so much bandwidth it's losing ~$1 billion/year. Why wouldn't they want to switch to a higher-quality-per-kb option?
A pattern is a pattern no matter which number base you use. Changing the base you work in only makes some patterns stand out more than others. (i.e. a multiply-by-10 pattern stands out much better in decimal, and a multiply-by-8 pattern stands out better in octal.)

If you can remember your passwords, you're doing something wrong.
Like trusting putting everything anyone needs to imitate you in one convenient location?
Giant wooden buses, on the other hand...
Some people can actually drive.
Maybe. But how many can text?
Because linux is fucking terrible for desktop use.
The battery life on my desktop is just fine.

Do Windows users [pay for anything]??
Hardware.

Like Bert64 said, there is a 64-bit version of Flash. It works fine.
Also not the AC

It's only worth it if your savings are higher than the cost of hiring accountants that can find and exploit these loopholes.
It is my understanding that they transcode to FLV, but still have the h264 availiable.

Thoggen has the option to rip subtitles, so I assume it's possible.

How do you turn the tap (faucet) on and off? Using a public restroom you're probably leaving with traces of not only your dick on your hands.
Paper towel will work.
Anybody know how well Linux works on touchscreens/tablets?
TVTropes has a formula.
...it relies on debian-unstable (not the testing sid, just the unstable) for its kernels...
You seem to be confusing your Debian versions.
sid = unstable
squeeze = testing
lenny = stable
factor: `671998030559713968361666935769' is too large
