No. A search for "web browser" with quotes brings up opera, mozilla, safari, netscape, lynx, galeon, etc. No IE. Unless Google's servers are syncing their databases and are out of sync with each other, the grandparent was correct.
Apple charges $1 per track for a lossily-compressed file.
That would be $11 for a typical Britney Spears CD, according to a quick look at a Britney Spears discography.
Apple sells albums for $9.99 apiece, except for a few very rare cases. Now that you've demonstrated that you've never even used the iTunes store, I'm not going to bother reading the rest of your post.
VMWare is not a true emulator, but it acts like one to a much greater extent than Wine. I haven't tested it, but I think CoLinux would work with VMWare.
It's not funny to those that have seen this same joke pop up in every single article about emulation. If you're gonna mindlessly repeat other people's jokes, it's a good idea to at least make them somewhat relevant or applicable (simply replacing "Wine" with "VMWare" would have sufficed in this case).
GNOME is written in C. No one's rewriting it anytime soon. This is a discussion of what languages ought to be recommended and used for GNOME application development.
All it takes is a few assholes to make some sort of fuss over jobs, environmental impact... For the government to do anything on this scale requires that they keep these bozos happy
So people who care about jobs and the environment are bozos now?
Works fine for me. The few programs I have that require Adminstrator access have their shortcuts setup to prompt for a password when they start. Simple.
Good for you. It doesn't work fine for a lot of other people. It would help if MS would implement some way to just let you type in a password without requiring two mouse clicks in the "Run as" dialog just to focus the password input box (which is grayed out by default).
Run as is usable for limited tasks, but I tried using WinXP as a non-administrator for a couple weeks and got so fed up with it that I just gave my account administrator privledges. Since I'm behind a firewall, don't run IIS, don't check mail on this machine, and don't use IE, I'm not too scared of viruses being able to delete (easily replaced) system files in addition to the personal documents that they could already mess with.
Uh, "Run As" *is* the "form of sudo".
In a very limited sense. Sudo can be set up to allow admin access to some programs by certain users without prompting for a password. Runas (at least in its GUI form) cannot.
Runas doesn't cut it for normal desktop use. Aside from doing "administrative stuff", a lot of programs (especially games) require admin access. It's not worth the trouble (for most people, including me), to use runas every time I want to do anything on my machine. Now, if Windows had some form of sudo or setuid, that might actually work.

Google GWS is, IIRC, an Apache fork
a9 just uses Google's results, with SafeSearch turned on.

Lessig was elected two weeks ago and no one knew until today? How does that work out?

You copy them to a tape or CD, respectively. You're allowed to do that.
Depends on the encryption program. Encrypted email is quite compressable, generally, but most programs compress it for you before spitting it out

Oops. Reimplements *the* Windows API.
Wine doesn't emulate Windows. It reimplements with Windows API under Linux/X. What you describe wouldn't work.
If it doesn't compress (significantly), it's not text. MIME and BinHex don't compress very well.
They'll probably put max transfer limits on it, or maybe say that accounts can only be accessed from one IP per hour.
So now only big corporations and millionares are allowed to invent things?
That "whoosh" you just heard was the sound of an attempt at subtlety flying completely over your head.

Are those like PIN numbers and UPC codes?

What did you expect to find inside the mini? A magic lamp? The 4GB microdrive sells for $400 by itself.
Sure you can, it's built into Windows XP.
A torrent for a 500k file? You're probably using more bandwdith tracking/seeding the torrent than you would be just mirroring it.

Better yet is the mplayer plug-in for Mozilla.

I have never in my life seen a valid use for an animated GIF.
