Please define "revenues" as I haven't paid anything to install Linux on any of my Linux servers... EVER. Conversely, this year alone I have spent around $25,000 on various Windows Server licenses.
Does this mean that Windows has 100% "market share" in my server rooms?
Your 4 points are correct. However, the reason for using RAID is NOT as a backup. RAID != Backup.
RAID is for redundancy and performance increases.
I had a drive die in my NAS a few weeks ago. It took 5 minutes to walk to the server room and plug in a new drive. There's no added complexity for the sysadmin, everything is done automagically by the RAID controller. Losing a server or data for hours while the drive is restored from tape is more expensive and complex.
The "Don't Be Evil" policy currently only applies to a fraction of Google's userbase. Once they verify the quality of this policy they will release it to all users.
For a lot of companies it doesnt make sense at all.
It's 2009 and most companies are still using Office 2003 with no intention of moving to 2007. SA for 6 years @ $200 per year = $1200 of complete waste.
Same for Windows. You get an XP Pro license for $200, then SA for 6 years @ $80 per year.
Then there's all the CALs you need. CALs for exchange, for Forefront, for Sharepoint, Office communicator, AD, Terminal Services..... Standard CALs, Enterprise CALs...
From the Article: "I'd say that there are probably a lot more people around the world pulling local content from Iran's providers right now, and that surge of demand is probably contributing to increased congestion and (perhaps) some of the route instability we see."
Ok, so the Bose Noise Canceling headphones create these so called "Acoustic Blackholes" in the ears of the headphones to eliminate noise. But wont the radiation cause brain cancer or something??
Corporations pay for those hefty service contracts.
In my office we use an open source wiki and we pay thousands of US dollars a year for support/maintenance contracts.
There's probably not much code contribution as most IT people don't have a software development background. Those who do have the skills lack the time.
(The website is too thin, and there are small issues that scream fake to me - kerning, lack of contact info, no mention that Windows ia a registered trademark, links to additional info, etc.)
It's part of a Microsoft viral marketing campaign... and it's working!
The current 3D MMORPGs are virtual realities.... Millions of people spend the majority of their time in these virtual worlds. Just because they don't wear bulky helmets they're disqualified?
The article is a bit misguided on some of it's top 10 choices.

If any of you iPhone users wants to know how to prevent this attack, please reply with your cellphone number and I will TXT you the details.
You're welcome!

Allow people with concealed-carry handgun permits to fly with their loaded handguns in the cabin.
Best idea of the year. Would be hijackers would never think of getting permits and carrying their own handguns!
All that OpenOffice bashing and SoftMaker Office boasting and there's only a negligible scoring difference between them?
From reading the article you'd think OpenOffice was crap (less than 5) and SoftMaker Office was the greatest thing next to sliced bread (8+)...

We've really outdone ourselves this time!
Don't forget about Forefront Client Security. It's also free for home use.

Only Iraq used chemical weapons in that war. I don't think the Iranians even had any.

This will never sell!
Outline one method to gain access to NSA networks and provide code implementing the method. Bonus points for commented code.
Begin.
And more importantly, does it run Linux?
ICANN haz DNSSEC?
People should be able to sign up and get mod points so that the people can moderate (like Slashdot).
Of course then we'll see a surge of +5-funny-seeking suggestions...

Not at the expense of having to learn LISP! I'd rather use dialup.
Finally, we can safely return to our nightly rituals of eating Cheetos, drinking Jolt and sending out emails from Xmail accusing people of being gay.

He should post about it on a high traffic website to get a buzz going and drive traffic to... oh wait.
