As others have suggested, I will confirm. Do not use username/password as the authentication method for your ssh server. If you want 2-factor encrypt the private keys or go hardcore with PAM and have them enter one-time codes from a pad or separate comm channel (sms, etc) after the key is verified.
HTTP/HTTPS sessions will have a limited lifetime (the exception being some HORRIBLE streaming technologies you shouldn't be using anyways) and SSH should only have incoming connections from KNOWN sources with very few exceptions. If you can't block a "hacker" (read: script kiddy) using GoToMyPC, you need to find another profession.
Really? That's pretty simple. Think of it like a car company that license the use of Ford's unibody design and puts their own engine in it. The body design still belongs to Ford, but the engine belongs to the new company. Of course that would be more patent-oriented, but you get the idea.
1) Windows 7 is arguably the best desktop OS out there right now for the vast majority of the public. Even many of the Apple fans I know, myself included, have been forced to concede that Windows 7 is better than OS X in many ways.
Highly debatable, but I've never seen it so I'll let you have that one. You really should try KDE though.
2) Microsoft has started to really become an advocate for open standards to the point of throwing IE 9 under the bus and repeatedly rolling the bus over it in front of their customers.
They didn't throw it under the bus, they jumped out of the way when they saw the bus coming and didn't have time to save it.
3) Microsoft's tools produce standards compliant web output.
Only because their shit wasn't working in standards-compliant browsers and had no choice.
4) Microsoft has officially incorporated jQuery into their web process and extended it in an open way to make it really work with Visual Studio.
Made someone else stuff work on their stuff. Useful to devs that use Windows and didn't have a joice about being nice because of the license.
5) Microsoft has never once threatened Mono or any open source.NET effort even as the Java world was nearly torn apart recently.
Nope, they just keep it 1-2 releases behind so it's useless to anyone not using Windows.
6) Microsoft has spent the last decade really ramping up their security efforts in what amounts to a "come to Jesus experience" on security.
Riiiiight. Putting masking tape on the holes of a sieve does not a cereal bown make.
7) Microsoft is starting to allow their own products like ASP.NET MVC to go FOSS.
Let me know if/when they ever finish that, until then it's like taking most of the mines out of a field.
If microsoft needs someone to add their FOSS application to an app store for them to be able to steal the code, we really have nothing to fear from them.
Yes, your description is just how it was explained to me. I wasn't sure if the one in the article used a similar process. I do remember the rubidium "glowing" so I thought it might be the same.
There are 2 parts to most songs: The lyrics and the melody. Coulton obviously got a cover license for the lyrics and possibly for the melody but his version really doesn't use the melody of Sir Mix A Lot and it could *easily* be argued that the melody in his cover is of his own creation even if the lyrics aren't. If Glee doesn't have ANY license then theoretically Sir Mix A Lot could sue for use of the lyrics (and *maybe* the melody) and Coulton could sue for the melody (but definitely not the lyrics). Glee needs a license from BOTH artists to be able to use that cover.

Keep in mind that every device sold with Windows 8 that immediately get "downgraded" to windows 7 is still counted as a windows 8 sale to Microsoft.
His whole point is that he is still under contract, so there's still no way to get out of those monthly payments.
Um, that's exactly what I just said...

Fine, but that still doesn't make them Disney movies.

No, there is nothing wrong with that. There is something wrong with using it as an argument that they are helping FOSS in any way.
And how much of that "profit" was provided by microsoft versus actual sales?
If microsoft needs someone to add their FOSS application to an app store for them to be able to steal the code, we really have nothing to fear from them.
I doubt they're taggin every tree. One per 5 acres would be *more* than enough.
undoing moderation.
Think of like a mortgage on your house or a car with a payment plan. Not technically "yours" until it's payed off.
That depends how many other peoples systems (like your work perhaps) trust your private key.
Also, don't use passwords for ssh.
Rule #1 of investigating a compromised system is you don't use the tools on the compromised system.

owncloud does synchronzing between devices? I thought it was just a remote storage utility with a web interface (and some fancy extensions).
I pity the fool that has to juggle that many books.
Well, they have to buy SOMETHING!
You disable the trackpad in software so that the top edge still works.
Not a Disney movie! They bought the rights to the franchise but I'm fairly certain that didn't come with the copyrights to the previous movies.
Sheet music is definitely under copyright. Just ask any band instructor that has to pay through the bloody nose for every song they use.
