If there were a few Linux firms out there who could say: "You know Gartner said..."
Update: There are no Linux firms out there who can say that because they all went out of business a few months ago. I heard that Linus, ESR, and RMS are all thinking about distancing themselves from the Linux/OSS community.
I will attempt to answer a few of your questions, since all the bots are busy karma whoring.
How can you blame someone for inventing the tool?
Its easy, you just point in their general direction and yell "Thats the guy, get him!". The mob takes over from there.
How can you prevent your tool from being misused?
The best way I have found is to limit your alcohol intake. Stay away from the cheap but potent malt liqours and fortified wines that are loved by the average street drunk. Those not only get you bent quicker, they screw up your brains so you have an increased propensity to have unprotected sex with women who live in trailer parks.
Perhaps we should all head to Redmond with torches in hand proclaiming that Microsoft enabled these terrorists to attack America?
Torches or not, you would get your ass kicked.
I feel that I have been inappropriately moderated, several times, here at Slashdot. Since no such 'rebuttal' law exists here in the US, Slashdot continues to opress my response and has yet to provide me with adequate forum to air my grievance.
Its funny because the street performers are on the street because they can't get job in the mainstream entertainment world, thus they have to beg passersby for 'donations'. Linux can't hold its own against mainstream enterprise software (read: Microsoft Windows) so the Linux community is forced to beg for handouts. Pretty much the same sort of relationship.
I am pleased that you, as a Microsoft employee who is obviously in the know, chose to brave the arrows of the SLashdot archers to get the truth out in the open.
Attention Slashdot readers: This man is a Microsoft employee so obviously he would know better than the author of this article.
I can remember a time when posting to Slashdot was a realtivly painless experience. Over the past several years though I've noticed a steady increase in the stupidity of the dratted lameness filter. Why don't the dumbasses UPGRADE? Whatever their programming department is smoking, I'd certainly like some; must be some pretty good stuff.

Its always been the same guy, he just makes big announcements about quitting to people like you interested. His tactic appears to be working. You must be one of those Brit tabloid reporters.
You sack milker, you need to proudly proclaim your superiority when you go for FP. Put some ASCII art up there. Use bold tags. Do whatever, but make sure it is forceful and direct and makes people cower in fear.

I am pleased to see that you approve of my personal crusade to dash the hopes and dreams of all OSS businessmen by showing the world that proprietary software is superior in every way to anything the OSS conspiracy has ever put out. Although you can't really be trusted (you call for own death in #6) I nonethless appreciate the vote of confidence.
A) I like that 'All Rage Against the Machine Songs' are on there. Finally, someone with some sense grabs the reins at a few radio stations.
B) This isn't censorship, despite your leftist pleadings. These people own the broadcast equipment so they get to pick what plays on it. The government has nothing to do with it.
They sure as hell are a big deal (Thinkgeek sells these). These are the best handhelds ever (get one at Thinkgeek) and you should go buy one right away (at Thinkgeek). New batteries in a handheld (available at Thinkgeek) warrant a story on Slashdot (banner ad links to Thinkgeek).

Why is it a bad analogy?
Actually, I think it is a setup for a Katz piece, just like the FiveFingerDiscount.com article was.

Hope I have been helpful.
You must be running Linux. I heard that it can take several months to get an app like PGP up and running correctly.
On my WinXP box I just clicked the left mouse button two or three times and about 30 seconds later I was encrypting all sorts of shit.

That statement is pretty deep.
He'd have to shove your mom out of the way. He would probably need a bulldozer because once she gets to squattin' its hard to move her big ass.

Thank you for your support.
Excellent! My IP has been lifted just in time for Troll Friday.

You people should be happy, there are several Metallica songs on there, you are all supposed to hate Metallica.
Good.
Please, go buy one (at Thinkgeek).
