ACK!!! Great stars! Are you *MAD*?! NEVER take anything from the Anarchist's Cookbook. Might as well drink a jug of chlorine, it'll do the exact same thing and save you a lot of time.
Oh come on, it takes five minutes to beat deepfreeze. When you're at home, google for deepfreeze - there are dozens of cracks and it's a piece of cake to get around.
Machining isn't bad. Journeyman pay is about $25/hr with all the overtime you could want. Though, up here in Canada at least, getting an apprenticeship is like pulling teeth.
That, combined with modern corporate tactics. Think about it. A programmer gets paid $100k - what does he do with all that money? He buys things. Things like a new car, new house, a stereo, a TV set - things which corporations make money selling. BUT, if he has a miserable wage, he can't afford to buy those things. Sales drop. So, the corporation in bloodletting mode, lays off a hundred people. There's a hundred more people that can't afford to buy things, so the economy slows down even further. This has been going on since the 80's, and the economy has been in a slump all this time. Eventually, they are going to push things past the break even point and it'll all come falling down around their ears.
One problem. The 'wrath of God', struck anyone who touched the ark stone dead. Google for Keely Net. You'll find hundreds upon hundreds of stories just like the one you quote, none of which have any backing.
May I ask what the titles are? I've also been trying to find a copy of the full collection of dead sea scrolls they release not long ago. I think it was fourteen volumes?
Your view fails to take into account the reality that these companies are beginning to fight against the march of progress. There have been MANY times in history where technology made entire trades obsolete, and people fought to protect their line of work - and failed. No one has a right to make anything and get money for it.
I want to make horse-drawn carriages. That requires Work, investment in tooling, equipment, etc. Do I have a right to make a living building carriages? One does not have a right to make a living doing whatever they want. In the course of history, certain trades have become obsolete. That is the cost of progress, and anyone who makes a thorough study of history will realize that when that happens, and people fight it, they inevitably loose.
Classic examples are scribes speaking out against the printing press and weavers against Jacquard's loom(a movement which was lead by a man named Ludd, giving rise to the term "luddite"). Today, these trades are obsolete and those who fought the advancement of the technology are long dead.
For some reason, people have this belief that what the law says has anything to do with the behaviour of people. If you make something illegal, people will automatically stop doing it because it's illegal. That just isn't true.
Prohibition is a classic example of this. Alcohol was outlawed, but it did extraordinarily little to stop the consumption of alcohol. Same thing applies to drugs, the laws actually do very little to control it's consumption. The reality is that law does not dictate human behaviour. Even if you make something illegal ten times over, if people deem it acceptable they will still do it.
Interestingly, Henry Ford actually received a letter from Clyde Barrow(of Bonny and Clyde) telling him how fine a car he made, and that Clyde Barrow always drove a Ford.

Traditionally, the idea is one of building brand identity. You've heard of McDonald's, Coca-Cola and Pepsi. You've heard of IBM and Microsoft. General Motors, Toyota. Have you ever heard of Corbin Motors? They make a three-wheeled commuter car.
Ever hear of Dominion Hardware? They're a local hardware store. But, you've heard of Home Depot. The issue is getting people familiar with who and what the product/company is. So that when they go into a store, they're comfortable with the product and more likely to buy it.

There is a general perception that MS products are easy to configure. They aren't, they require no less expertise to operate properly than UNIX, probably more.
The issue is that because people THINK it's easy, they put any old dunce on the job and don't care. Well, the guy ends up not knowing anything about stuff like CNAMES and MXs, and software can only be just so intelligent. As a result, you end up with some terribly sloppy administration.
With UNIX and friends, however, you have the OPPOSITE perception. One that it is hard and takes someone who really knows what he's the doing. The truth, of course, is that system administration is a skilled trade like any other - it requires a great deal of expertise to be performed effectively. This is not burger-flipping, this is telecommunications infrastructure maintenance. As a result of the perception, effort is put towards finding a competent sysadmin because they know that an MCSE just isn't going to cut it.
And that is why I expect most Windows systems to be poorly adminned.

I particularily liked the part about free protons.
What you need is a union. In canada, you could join the CEP(Communications, Energy and Paperworkers).
So now the arms race begins. Too bad, I just saw an ad that I WOULD have clicked on. But, now it is time for the junkbuster. They never learn.
Well, that was helped along by the utter and total collapse of civilisation:)
