Let's see if we can get this post to +5 troll! Everyone mod me underrated until I am +5 and then someone mod me troll!
Also, in case you are wondering why you don't get points for a while after you mod everyone you disagree with as flamebait, that is because you are contradicted in metamoderation, it hurts your karma, consider modding the dissenters as 'overrated' instead, as it will not hurt it at all.
Just because you're running a desktop-oriented distribution doesn't mean the underlying system's poor.
Whelp, better not compare it to Windows like symbolset did then. It's a bit unfair to compare a desktop OS to an OS running on a phone or something, surely you can agree?
As consumers we can win from this. Without the constraint of making the bloated Windows OS run on their chips, Intel can dive into low power. Without the glacial software development lifecycle in Redmond Intel can bring out new stuff faster. That's good stuff.
Yeah, it was Windows holding them back, not the laws of physics. Nice catch. Oh, and Windows is better with power than any of the Linux distros I've used.
OMG a Video Game System (not even the most popular one) has dropped OS Support, This is worth an attack on a company? Seriously? blah blah blah bitch bitch bitch
Sounds like you are just made because they didn't fight for YOUR pet cause.
That is so stupid. There is no way I would bother with a provider that I had to talk to. Also, my rebuttal is in your comment.

Fascism! Socialism! Unamerican! But really, that is just a way to further consolidate power and money for the large corporation, which it is quite clear that you are just shilling for, you asshat fucktard apologist.
Bullshit, yaoi is just gay hentai, (where as yuri is lesbian hentai). Shotacon is, usually gay, hentai with little boys, (and lolicon is hentai with little girls, if you were just dying to know).
Stop being an elitist prick (I didn't make that post BTW). Refusing to make a rebuttal because it is AC is akin to categorically modding down a user based on the name.
Altavista, Ask and Bing have just been giving me more relevant search results lately.
Somewhat interestingly, and wildly offtopic, Altavista is powered by Yahoo, and Yahoo is powered by Bing, so you are really only using at most 2 search engines. (Ask also outsources to someone, but they don't say who, so it may very well be M!r0$0f+ as well).

You don't really think that Glenn Beck wants to stop the DHS from policing the internet, do you? 99% of them are just there because they think that the 500$ they would save by shutting down all schools would make them rich. And the other 1% are there to convince the other 99% that that is in their best interest.

Logic and morality are almost always mutually exclusive; laws should be logical before they are moral. No law should be based exclusively on morality, if at all.
Does every crime need a victim?
Yes, yes it does.
If we "legalized" sexting, or maybe taking pictures of yourself at a young age, waiting until you turn 18 and releasing them (which I believe is also illegal), we've opened up a loophole for child pornographers: you can take pictures of a girl and pressure/bribe her to release them herself.
That is a huge stretch of the imagination. Maybe we should criminalize air fresheners because a some one might use it to mask the smell of a corpse and do all sorts of mischievous before being caught. Ridiculous.
the person that's been sexually abused is still being used for such purposes
No they aren't a record of the event is being fapped to. If they masterbate the the thought of some random brat they saw on the street without any further action, are they raping the kid?
I wouldn't personally want footage or pics of something like that happening to me or a close relation being distributed.
Get over it, victims don't have special rights.
There should be consequences of some sort
No, there shouldn't. And since you didn't provide your reasoning, I don't have to either. Good day to you.

2. You help students make up their mind about what they want based on their economical capabilities
Which means no education for the poor, meaning they stay poor.
3. Hopefully, more focused careers. People are allowed to take only classes within certain range and so Engineering students don't need/have to take Music History or the sort.
It is a University, they are there to become well-rounded individuals that are capable of acting like it. If they can't handle a music history class or just abhor the thought of culture, then they should look for a technical school.
4. Hopefully: Job Market: Universities contribute to spread people around careers instead of having a bunch of people getting business degrees (and wanting to be CEOs/Managers out of school), some may actually get an engineering one.
See the previous point. Universities are not there to serve the job market.
5. Same as before, this may actually trigger more people jumping into quantum physics if the lower demand and prices altogether are lower.
A bunch of people studying quantum physics because it is cheap will not only do nothing to benefit the field, because, you know, how much money you are willing to spend does nothing to help you understand something, but might very well hurt it by injecting shitty retards into it and making it less attractive for actual smart people.
Or maybe they have just been watching to many shitty Syfy made-for-TV movies and expect any alien civilization to automatically be better than man by several tens of thousands of years.
This whole thing, as well as the whole Type-X Civilization, nonsense has always been unrealistic an unreasonable. What is the usage of a scale that most civilizations won't even fit on? Total bullshit.
I would be rather upset at the prospect of pervs continuing to view images of a traumatic time.
Which is already happening. There is no such thing as a CP consumer, just CP users. It is digital in nature and is not consumed after usage. Once it's out there, it's out there, and there is nothing that can be done about it. Better to put it to a good cause and try to use it to limit the amount of children being abused currently than worry about the feelings of former children.

Does every law need a logical moral basis?

Your statement quite frankly disgusts me and leads me to question what kind of interest you have in child pornography exactly.
This is the argument of the defeated moralist.
the person that's been sexually abused is still being used for such purposes

Are you really suggesting that CP is becoming more socially acceptable because more people are fapping to it?
You, sir, are and idiot.

On that topic, I ran a vanilla XP (no service packs) until 2008. Zero virii.
I'm sorry, I not familiar with these hard english words like that. What is a "virii"? It isn't anything that I've ever heard of before.
Back on topic, did that computer get any viruses?
I would be rather upset at the prospect of pervs continuing to view images of a traumatic time.
