It's pretty sad how often these are true in any modern fantasy story.
I think you should pay Microsoft and its IE branch for all "e"s in your post (that 1 in quotation marks was fair utilization, so it did not count). $300/"e" is a fair cost IMO.
The question was whether digital watches or mechanical watches are a greater sign of humanity's achievements, I don't know why you brought in the subject of space probes.
He said a testament, not an important point. If we all die in World War 3 and some aliens come in a thousand years and find a digital watch, they'll see that we have advanced microelectronics and the advanced chemistry needed to make a battery, and its existence proves that we have other computers that do so much more. A mechanical watch will just prove to them that we can make good gears and fit them together, something which has practically no use outside of timekeeping (ok, and mechanical calculators).
Reminds me of trying to download Firefox onto a computer on dialup (averaging 5kbps) with IE6.

Why would Google just target netbooks? In some ways, desktops are just as good a place to put Chrome OS, since you tend to have perfect, uninterrupted wired internet on desktops, so you can do much of your cloud work with the same stability you would get from offline work.

We have: use your wimpy moderation points to bury it.

Well I had earlier patented patenting so you're all screwed.
Hey, Cyclopes are people too.
If you don't the unethical government will kick your business out of China and they won't have Opera at all.
So when they come we can immediately arrest them under the DMCA?
Same. In terms of fish in general, I almost exclusively eat salmon.

Pirated? How does one pirate open source software?
You don't have to use Google's services. You can use whatever web apps you want, including putting data on your own server.
And Theo de Raadt should get one for not being Steve Ballmer.
Nobody's forcing you to use Google's web apps. You can use it with Microsoft's web apps too if you want.
But two Wrights made an airplane.
I mean, if it's a declaration of war then the populace should just capture their parliament as prisoners of war, right?
That's a pretty darned good idea.
