The thing is AFAIK he is now estimated to have a fortune of about 6 billion dollars, and I expect he expects it to grow. Giving away 3 billion dollars still lets him live like a king and earn him public "karma". Anyone except the stupidest/most evil people around would do the same.
They had to spend months with only what drinkable water they could carry, which was at that time as daunting as it is now to carry the fuel(energy) needed to get to Mars
Now they haven't. Fedora is the "bleeding-edge" distro, which regularly ships with beta software bundled. The only time I remember Ubuntu doing the same was with FF 3 beta, which was included in 8.10 if I'm not mistaken.
I have a very low-end Huawei phone that doesn't auto-update it's clock to account for daylight savings and it woke me up an hour earlier than it should have.
True that. And advertisement-backed journalism doesn't really smell all that nice. The information market is still a market, and people still seem to forget.
I completely agree with the last point. I am often amazed at the difference in experience in using FF on the same PC on Windows and then on Ubuntu. It really doesn't feel like the same browser, ie it lags even on a brand new PC on Ubuntu.
Why not make something like "I am Spartacus"? Viruses dressed as Romans have a lot of people gathered up and start asking who's Linux. Then some random cool-geeky-looking-type stands up and sais "I'm Linux" then a whole lot of other random people stand up, all walks of life and start saying "I'm Linux." You know, community & internationalization & everything else?
I'd do this myself but I'm lacking in resources or talent or time to pull this off.
But it was also the Romanians that managed to get the mainframe of their jail system infected with Downandup and the whole database was wiped out. At least that's how the media here reoprted it. "Luckily" there was a back-up plan. A very "old-school" back-up plan.
That's right. The back-up was on dead trees. So now they have put all that data in by hand.

Considering it's a 10cm^3 cube, it's good to know we still have our sense of (self-)irony :)
Why would it require a cookie for that? Wouldn't the "do-not-track" header be enough for that?

That would, probably once and for all, settle the debate if "gayness" is genetic or a "lifestyle choice".

You can tag anything with any name on Facebook, it's just that the tag won't link to your profile if you don't have one.
How is this any different than the pre-internet world?

I think they were aiming for the symbolic 10/10/10 date for the 10.10 version.
Unless... what if that is in the prophecies as well?
In the middle of one of the university buildings (not in a dorm) there's a network with the SSID "IHaveNetYouSuckerDont".

Does the dude have stock at Microsoft? Or what's it to him?
Shouldn't this be modded as funny?
AFAIK, hoodies are a sign of aggressive youth in the UK (kind of a stereotype, really). They might be afraid to let the "riff raff" in.
Do the crickets like the Beatles?
Cause that would SURELY make people stay with youtube and not find some other, non-commercial ridden site.
This means i could... like... get a nano-internet jammed in my arm or leg?

I guess Axl wasn't kidding with the lyrics to the track IRS off the record:
Gonna call the President
Gonna call a Private Eye
Gonna get the IRS
Gonna need the FBI
Kaspersky is made by Russians and it has quite a few users, I believe.

Talk about a bipolar country.
