Of course it does. That's why no-one starved or died of preventable diseases before the vastly inefficient and useless government-funded protections were introduced.
I'm sure IBM, Oracle and even Rd Hat have men in suits for just such a reason. What they don't have is a positive answer to the question "can I run my legacy (Windows) apps on it?"
Except that the legal term monopoly means something different to the dictionary term as you well know and, like all libertarians on here, pretend you don't.
wpasupplicant is an OSS application and the ADSL driver worked fine in the previous Ubuntu apparently. The wpasupplicant thing may well be a problem with ndiswrapper, who knows, but breaking a working open source driver is careless. Believe me I'd much rather use Linux than Windows but every time I've tried lately it's been nothing but frustration.
They've got an awful lot of work to do to shift Windows. Intrepid Ibex is a pain in the butt to get onto the internet via WPA wireless or USB ADSL router given that the former times out trying to get an address via DHCP and the latter has a fatal error in the frigging module. And the advice in the help: look at the wiki via the internet *rolls eyes*.
The Amiga 1200 I had in 1994 (14 years ago) had 2MB of RAM and a 12MHz CPU and its software quite handily outperformed a 486DX2 running at 66MHz with 16MB of RAM through a combination of superior custom hardware and the willingness of developers to see how much they could push that hardware. PC developers may have started off being efficient but the ease of upgrading the hardware has made them lazy.
None of the home computers that I'm talking about were very expensive although they were incompatible with each other. Software for the likes of the ZX Spectrum was incredibly efficiently written because it had to be. PC software authors on the other hand can write shoddy code and expect the user to fork out for hardware upgrades. If you want a list of the computers I've owned before I got my first "inexpensive" PC (£600) they were: ZX81 (£50), ZX Spectrum (£125), Amiga 500 (£200) and Amiga 1200 (£200). Normal people could and did afford them.

Touchpads and clits work differently
What can I say to that. Hehe hehe too much Christmas spirit :-)
making Linux useable, maintainable, and fixable by average Joe's with as little fuss as possible
I'm still waiting for Windows to get to that point never mind Linux.
Of course it does. That's why no-one starved or died of preventable diseases before the vastly inefficient and useless government-funded protections were introduced.
Didn't Microsoft software start out as the cheaper alternative to proprietary Unix?
Who says that society thinks we shouldn't go after the perps too? Ask "Mr Swirly" or Gary Glitter if it's just the voyeurs that get punished.
You would have a point if I was talking about the LP cover.
Thus proving that scientists are smarter than Dubya
So you think that people that pay for images of this stuff don't contribute to the perpetuation of it?
WoW has plenty of them too.
About $500

How do you know what information I have or don't have? Has your 6 extra years made you psychic?
Let's have a few examples then and we'll see if my 38 years' experience is trumped by how ever long you've been alive.

Karl Marx that well-known mass murderer. Honestly, if you want to bash the Left, whoever they might be, you should at least get a clue.
Apart from XP that is...
Weren't lots of perfectly innocent sites found to be unwitting distributors of a Russian trojan recently?

And if Apple's lawyers submit that the device was being used in a non-approved way?
Really? On what grounds could Apple be sued if a user modified their product in a way not approved by Apple?
And quite often even when stuff doesn't work.

If Outlook was just a mail client then yes. But it isn't.
