    Looks like a great collection. Young kids still need to start somewhere. They don't call it 'catching', they call it 'fishing'. All the fun is getting there!

  3. Microsoft wants you to copy their software on Fed Raids Software Pirates in 27 Cities · · Score: 2, Insightful

    MS wants to dominate the market right? So how do they get their OS into homes where a teens parents won't fork over hundreds of dollars? Put it on the net. They have nothing to lose because the people who have the cash to buy it probably will. Putting it out on the net captures a whole new market of Windows users. Every now and then they raise a big stink about piracy and profit loss because this adds to the appeal for this target market. Nothing a rebelious teen loves more than illegal software right? Point is now everyone has MS Windows on their computer and MS wins. MS never loses a dime, in fact they make money off other, lessor priced offerings and/or subsequent sales of OEM preinstalled software. If you use something long enough to get used to it, you'll probably buy it again and reccommend it to others. It's all part of the plan.

    NT Server in the trunk? Great, this will give BSOD a whole new meaning. Now my car can be as reliable as my computer. Does this mean I have to pull over every thirty minutes to reboot the car?

    hmmm...all day traders are using windows? Well that's two decisions of equal caliber.
