I get it now! We're building a democracy in Iraq so that those of us who still value our freedom can move over there once El Presidente makes his dictatorship official. Though, I'm not sure now we'll actually hear about it.;-)
You too can listen as well as anyone else. This is not an issue of the linux community not listening to somebody. This is not Windows. It's a different environment, and it doesn't work the way you think it should. That doesn't mean it can't work.
Practice what you preach and listen...
"I'd be happy if Dell supported one distro (or hell, even netBSD). It would mean that other distro's could look at the drivers used & have an easy time supporting Dell."
As soon as that happened the rest of the linux community could more easily get their distro of choice working on Dell machines as well. Why is that so hard to understand? That's how the linux community works.
But, if they're not lettered how will I get to my 'N' drive? Duh!?

"You're interacting with the Internet community by asking for search results. That makes your request a public act, akin to posting a request on a bulletin board, please call 555-1234 with information about xyz. It's just more efficient when there's a company that has already indexed all the answers."
No, it's not. You're interacting with Google, or Yahoo, or whoever. It's more like calling information and asking for the address of the closest strip joint. There's no reason why the folks at the information desk have to record and save your request for information, and possibly hand it out to people or have it stolen. I would not expect that to happen.
Now, if you went down to the post office and stuck a note on the bulletin board there asking for information on local strip joints, that's a whole other story. In that case if you didn't expect more people to be aware of your search for information you'd be an idiot.
Correct, they'd lose a ton of customers if they told Google they couldn't use their network. That's why they're going through Washington. If they make it a law then it looks better and it the same across the board. Dicks!
Now that you mention it, I do remember feeling a little prick in my arm, turning around and seeing some weird guy behind me with a syringe right around the time of Code Red!
Next day, I was infected! I should have put 2 and 2 together! Damn!
They used "fully automated" 5 times in that article. Stood out like a sore thumb.
Is this the same as allowing us to add other jabber users on other servers to our friends list and allowing us to talk to them? I tried this the first day or two and it wasn't working. Did they recently open this up?
The only thing that could be done to curtail this practice would be to require single-purpose bills that can't be loaded full of non-related crap. Of course, that would require a major change in our our legislative process works...
Yeah. We'd need much more advanced technology to change the way these processes work... er, what year is it again?

"The network builders are spending a fortune constructing and maintaining the networks that Google intends to ride on with nothing but cheap servers,"

Don't they know that the total cost of ownership of a linux server is magnitudes higher than that of a Windows server?
Correct, they'd lose a ton of customers if they told Google they couldn't use their network. That's why they're going through Washington. If they make it a law then it looks better and it the same across the board. Dicks!
The 14th paragraph starts, "A a further side ...". Looks like a typo to me. Might want to get a fraking editor to read over your posts! :-P

Only the sound isn't that annoying *ding*, it's the sound of their server catching fire.
Yes.

"In a broader answer to this question, Microsoft strongly supports the promotion of open standards."
I suppose you can support the promotion of open standards and not actually follow them.
- Kevin
I hate to answer a question with a question, but it seems appropriate.

If they actually adhered to standards, how many sites would look like shit because they were designed specifically for IE?
I'd love to see it, but we all know they'd never shoot themselves in the foot like that.
