Psychology of "facebook generation" explains this behaviour - majority of people have the urge to show themselves (through pictures, texts, videos, etc.) to others. This is also known as a form of exebitionism. Makers of IE know that very well and use it to their advantage - by having peepholes in their products in order to gain popularity. The percentage of people using their products just proves the theory.
I have made bing.com startup page in my firefox (linux box, of course) just to drain their resources, and look what happened - they actually gained more publicity. I'll go now and shoot myself in the foot...
Instead of using (and possibly damaging) cellphone, make the "microscope" device usable on desktop or laptop computer: Buy a cheap USB webcam, take it apart and remove lens - then write a simple program (probably using opencv) to analyse image, mark different cells and count them.
After spending 7 years in sunny and colourful Berkeley, CA, I have decided to leave the states for good. Now after 7 years, I am more than glad for what I did - my kid is getting quality education and is able to play with other kids outdoors without fear of being kindapped for internal organs or shot as a bystander in random gang shooting.
Tap water quality is fine, but I still don't have courage to drink it - I must say I didn't drink California tap water either.
And as an software developer, I am able to complete jobs all over the world - online - sitting in my comfy chair.
How about "Forger"?
Although the definition is a bit different: "Forgery: The creation of a false written document or alteration of a genuine one, with the intent to defraud."
They anounced it months ago. The concept was to charge the user as much as they use their machine resources. On the other hand, who wouldn't like to charge the racket on 90% of this small planet's computers?
Slashdot Mirror
... and still coding
step 1 - buy video game and install it
step 2 - load your sequenced genes
step 3 - play the game as yourself
It is also possible that hospital management invested in ms shares and would hate to see them go down.
This affirms that confirmative action needs more time to... panic!
For those who don't have a clue but still have urge to comment, here is "hello world" in F#:
[start snipp]
#light
open System
printfn "Hello world\n"
Console.ReadKey(true)
[end snipp]
And another example illustrating what would would take a highschool kid to modify physics simulation:
[start snipp]
#light
open System
let gravity = -9.81
let euler_explicit accel pos speed delta =
pos + delta * speed, speed + delta * accel
let euler_implicit accel pos speed delta =
let speed2 = speed + delta * accel in
pos + delta * speed2, speed2
let pos, speed = euler_explicit gravity 0.0 0.0 1.0 in
printfn "pos = %f speed = %f\n" pos speed
let pos, speed = euler_implicit gravity 0.0 0.0 1.0 in
printfn "pos = %f speed = %f\n" pos speed
Console.ReadKey(true)
[end snipp]

I hate my linux box for not letting me have this shiny thingy. It is a new trend - 7mil users and growing. I want one too!!!
All your points are correct from my standpoint.

Rapidshare will not go down because they remove the copyrighted files promptly - as soon as they are notified.
It was about time

Thanks, I looked it up. For others interested, here is wiki link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tying_(commerce)
installing Firefox on windows. What is all the fuss about?
Looks like lynx (http://lynx.isc.org) is still safe.
a bug or a feature?
