the first thoughts are not related to how much it has helped people.
If only they limited themselves to helping people. The reason slashdotters hate them is mainly because the hinder scientific progress and the top members (especially the ones at the vatican) are not so honorable.
There are better ways of doing that, like reducing the social security tax rate from 6.2 % to 4.2% (employee contribution to social security) and raising the Federal Tax Rates!
PS: For the uninformed, this happened in 2011.
Whats wrong with an in-build PDF Viewer? Would you rather prefer opening your PDF using an external app? Or are you one of those that never open PDFs, in which case this would not affect you at all?
Every time I see these slams against Obama for getting the prize for nothing, I smile. Because the way the rants are phrased only prove to me that committee made the right choice. Obama is just the placeholder. It's the American people who really won the award.
No disrespect, but the American people dont deserve it either. Its because of the people's support, that these wars happened (Iraq, Afghanistan, you name it). In my opinion, the people are completely responsible for the actions of a democratically elected Govt.
Make it like Hulu. Make the user sit through the time that takes for the ad to complete with no sound and a blank screen, only then display content (enforce this on the server side). Most users would prefer something happening rather than staring at a blank screen, and hence just like FF's Adblock, Microsoft would opt to not block these ads.
You should care, because if ad block becomes defacto and comes preinstalled with IE9, ad agencies would quickly start workaround it (just like how hulu does currently (hulu's policy is, you can use adblock, but you would have to putup with a min of absolute silence and blank screen before the show continues))
If you looking to avoid fake files, I would say get from reputed Private Trackers (You might have to pay or get a referral to get into one though). But if you are looking to hide from MAFIAA, I would say use a VPN from some foreign country (one that has good privacy protection laws, and does not disclose your name without a warrant from a judge from the same country (and more obscure the country is the better)).

There are no publicly-traded ISPs that are not evil, unless you perhaps count Google TiSP.
I bet Google Fiber will be!

Nook Color comes with LCD, not E-ink.
Actually everybody who has contributed to the file are copyright holders (Linus being just one of them).
In only two states in the Union are you legally secure in pointing a loaded weapon at someone you catch in the act of robbing you.
For the record, which states are they? Texas must be one and the other?

And not to forget, if you are from that country, dont pay taxes. Remember when you pay taxes, you are funding terrorism.
....deletes all your email, like Google did recently, what then?
You forgot the restore within a day part (a bit convenient to forget, dont you think)

Only terrorists and pedophiles download torrents.
