Windows 9x can't be pigeonholed as an application or an OS. It sits on top of MSDOS, so it can't be a true OS, but it does take on some operating system tasks. I would define W9x as... a mess.
OK, to make life interesting, lets make it as unfair as possible. Randomly take cash from people and distribute it to others. Forbid people health care and education if they are too poor. etc etc etc.
I'm not sure why you're bringing 1984 into this. The 1984 society was not, AFAI can remember, communist. It was intended to show a totalitarian state. Orwell was actually a socialist (even to the extent of going to fight on the side of the socialists in the Spanish civil war). FWIW, I think GPL is a pretty communist (as in Marxist) ideal.
Aren't they priests? The sex pistols got sued (for saying Bollocks! on their posters)when the album in question came out. In the trial, they argued that, according to the OED, bollocks was originally a term applied to priests. The judge asked if this wasn't offensive to priests; the defending lawyer took off his jacket to reveal a dog-collar. The judge threw the case out. Not entirely true how accurate this story is. I couldn't find a transcript on the web.
Won't be able to challenge Gates on technical issues? From what I can see of Gates's technical skills, my scrotum could challenge him. Remember Paxman's a clever interview and will be sure to research his stuff well.
For you non-Britons who haven't heard of Paxman, he's a very formidable interviewer. He once asked Micheal Howard (then Home Secretary, I think) the same question fourteen times when he refused to answer it. There's a realvideo version of the interview at the bbc's website. Send in those questions!
But that's not true! The number on your paper isn't recorded. Your name is just crossed off. Maybe your returning officer has got his head stuck up his arse.
I don't think an SNP member has ever said that, and even if s/he did, it would be irrelevant. There a very big sense of nationalism in the Celtic countries, and to say it is only because of a reaction to imagined English oppresion is wrong. I'm not sure how to take this any further except to say that I disagree with you; if you don't actually live in Wales or Scotland, I claim that my opinion is more informed.

Because it doesn't mean you own it. Tell you what, send ME $20, and I'll tell you that you own a bit of the moon.
1) They could have just orbited the Earth a few times before splashing down.
2) With a large enough telescope, maybe. BUT NO SUCH TELESCOPE EXISTS!!!!!
3) there != their
4) Conceded
You can't see the landing site. Well you can (ie the general area of the moon) but you can't see eg the US flag or footprints.
