Maybe you're just not lucky with your hardware/software/particular choice of game. There are cases where Wine doesn't work at all, there are cases where Wine is slightly faster than Windows.
No, you don't understand. In China, you have the right to speak freely. The government has the right to arrest you without reason. They just happen to do it when you say something they don't like.
Now three humans should be first to be destroyed. Since you can't destroy two people at the exact same time, the robot apocalypse will never happen! Clever, humans, clever...
100% > 95%. Once Firefox starts crashing, people notice and then you just wait until Tuesday when the bug will probably get fixed in a patch on both Firefox and IE, and the exploit is mostly unused.
Wine, Cedega or whatever. There, I said it. A significant portion of Windows games work on Wine and Cedega - just look at all the games that run on Wine with minor or no issues. You got WoW, Eve Online, Call of Duty, BioShock, Fallout, The Sims. All the major titles.
DRIVING the stasispods around? You CHILD MURDERER. Driving kills 40000 people a year, we can't let CHILDREN be driven around in trucks! Everyone (including the adults, they should be protected from themselves as well and also their bodies are strong enough to assault, molest or kill a child so they should be restrained) should be legally required to remain in a stasispod 24/7 at home with all interactions virtual while trustworthy law enforcement officers can walk around outside and protect us.
Not an American citizen (a thousand kilometers north of that), but I'd convict an officer/soldier guilty of torture even if every agency in the government supported it. Just following orders wasn't an excuse in 1945, it's not an excuse now.
There are some industries that have high operating costs so it's impossible for a non-commercial organization to do them. For example: concerts, movie theaters, selling books in paper format, video game arcades. Making commercial copying illegal but not normal copying still leaves all those industries unaffected. And with Avatar making $1 billion just from movie theaters, I think we can all agree that that's sufficient.
There's a reason that some of his plays are lost for good. A lack of copyright has a lot to do with that.
Shakespeare did not get his career cut to a stop after the first few plays because all his works were derivatives of things of which some were written a very short time earlier. A lack of copyright saved him.
He published the 18 plays that were the most popular, ie. that made the most money for him. He probably didn't want to publish the other 18 because they were bad and nobody liked them.
1. Linux, Firefox, Chrome and the other big open source projects have much more than "a handful" of people working on them. The number of eyes on each one is definitely more than 1000.
2. No it doesn't. Giving source code to everyone makes it easier to find vulnerabilities and, depending on who you are, either fix them or exploit them. Giving source code just to the Chinese government gives you the exploiters but not the fixers, ie. the worst of both worlds.
Lots of instructional videos and lots of political videos get uploaded on there, and probably a lot more. There's lots of perfectly good original content on Youtube, you just have to filter out the crap.
That's the thing. You can't download a free and open source Linux distribution, install it and watch a video on Youtube. For legal reasons that will go away if Youtube switches to Ogg/Theora/Vorbis/HTML5, Ubuntu cannot include the ability to watch YouTube videos in a default installation, you need to download ubuntu-restricted-extras to do that. Many people probably have a text file of sudo apt-get install commands that they copy in and run after every installation, but for the non-technical users you're talking about it's quite a big problem.
I wasn't talking about definitions. You said that with an enlarged version of a book's text you could read it. There are people who can't read anything, no matter what you do about it. I was making a distinction between these two groups. It doesn't matter that the law works differently, there's still a big difference between seeing pitch black 24 hours a day and being able to make out large and close up letters sometimes.
Or you could put Windows on the one that has the most issues running (insert free OS here) for those cases where you need to interact with weird hardware (cameras, printers, etc) or software and put whatever you want on the other two. Always good to have variety.

".com" stopped meaning "commercial" in 2000. The current meaning is "default".

The submitter chose the BSD license for many of his projects. He clearly disagrees with you.

So if something is widely accepted we shouldn't change it? A world that runs like that will, by definition, have exactly zero progress.
Did you mean:
sudo be more like Vimeo?

That's safety.
Rome's decadence and uppity women, wealth and life led to them collapsing. The barbarians are collapsed already.

the whole liberal idea that we can do whatever we want with our bodies and lives is utterly appalling,
Your idea that someone other than me has any say as to what I do to my own body and life is utterly appalling.

Action taken as in "people actually acting on the allegation and investigating it".
