Right out of the box I immediately think of head, tail, less, wc, cut, sort, and cat -v. I can't think of an equivalent of any of these in Windows but I use them all the time in Unix. And when I compare usability I think in terms of speed... I can type 'tail myfile' alot faster than I can open a file in notepad and scroll to the bottom. Not to mention what happens if my file is ridiculously large, say 1 GB. I know Windows has MORE but I like being able to scroll back up.
I am aware I'm comparing Unix' shell to Windows' GUI but being experienced in Windows and Unix (I've been using M$ OS for nearly 3x as long as Unix) these are the ways I would instinctively perform the needed task in each OS.
As a strong American nationalist, I think it's the next coolest thing we could have done besides going in and rescuing the pilot from under their noses. I was thinking the exact same thing... coincidence? I think not.:)

Where do I sign up for my cyberbrain implant? Now I just need to find some thermoptic camouflage and a Tachikoma...
No kidding. This theme song is now the ringer for my cell phone. It's all I can do to get my 'fix' whenever I need it :)
I can also clearly remember the day at the arcade when I first performed my first "ULTRA COMBOOOOO" in Killer Instinct. Talk about catharsis...
Well I'm no economist so instead of trying to formulate an opinion I'll just ask: could this be beneficial to the economy?

I can't wait to see the headlines when the rich people who get to buy surround light before everyone else start having seizures :)
