To prove his innocence he must demonstrate that his wiener is small? Maybe he'd rather be thought guilty. Seems like Weinergate is giving the Republicans a Boehner.
Instead of trying to remove any trace of yourself from the internet, you should dilute the information with so much disinformation, that no one would trust using the internet as a source about you. If I google your name and find that you served time for kidnapping the Lindbergh baby, you were once the President of Bulgaria, and you shot JFK, then I can pretty much figure that whatever I read about you on the net is bullshit.
Don't laugh. The first Linux distribution I used was "Slackware 96". (Which contained the Linux 2.0.0 kernel.) Perhaps one-upping "Windows 95" in the naming subconsciously persuaded me to give it a try.
Well let's all demand our money back!
Reading through the comments you'd think that people were being forced to use KDE or Gnome, because there isn't anything else, that they had to pay for, it and weren't given the source codes.
Depends, you could be a billionaire in dollars, pounds or euros. And if that's not confusing enough, the word "billion" actually has different meanings in the UK and US. Americans say "billion" when they mean 10^9. In the U.K., they say "billion" when they mean 10^12.
Have you ever actually been to the United States? You can't underestimate how much exposition is required to explain a technology story to an American audience.
Also, "Everything will be fine. Just remember one thing. You can't put too much water in a nuclear reactor."
"...you can't force people to believe with you ideologically..." Well, 'force', no you can't, but force is not required when you control the media. This allows for one side to frame the issues and control public perceptions. Thank God there is at least one network that is Fair and Balanced.
You make me laugh. John Locke?, random historical character?. Well yes, I guess that is my mentality. The educational system has in fact failed if the average person doesn't know anything about John Locke. Here's a short list of "random historical characters" about whom I think every educated person should know at least something: Socrates, Isaac Newton, Cyrus the Great, Henry VIII, Napoleon, Thomas Jefferson, Albert Einstein, Adolf Hitler, Lao-Tzu, Siddhartha Gautama, Jesus of Nazareth, Mohammad, Karl Marx, Christopher Columbus, Helen Keller, Mohandas Gandhi, oh and yes John Locke and many others. If you don't know about anything at all about most of these people then, yes, I'd say that education has failed.
I'm seeing implied definitions in the comments for the words "democracy" and "republic" that contradict what I learned in school. What I learned was that in a democracy the people vote directly on legislation. In a republic the people elect representatives to legislative bodies, which in turn vote on legislation. My understanding is that in theory, the U.S., and each of its states, are supposed to be republics, (though the national government under our current constitution was originally intended as a compromise of a federation of the states and a republic). Yogi Berra said, "In theory there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice there is." In practice, the U.S. is an oligarchy, bordering on fascism, in which power is tightly distributed among the world's wealthiest families and corporate interests. The appearance of constitutional republicanism is maintained (at least for the naive), because the oligarchs have successfully learned to manipulate public perception through control of the media.
The real reason many people find a computer talking back in normal speaking cadence is unsettling was demonstrated in the old Star Trek episode when M5 has communicated to the command that "Captain Dunsel" was in charge of the Enterprise. Bad enough in the Star Trek universe, but maybe worse in our world, where being made obsolete might mean you don't eat.
What motive is there for cheating? I'd say it's about the same reason athletes are using steroids. Let's look at the economic incentives behind the choices in that case. 1. Don't use them and spend the rest of your life in some dead end minimum wage job with no benefits or pension. 2. Use them and become a professional athlete with an eight figure salary. (You might even become governor of California someday). Cheating in academics is motivated in much the same way, except that the contrast may not be quit as stark.

You're an idiot.
Who learned you to speak English?

Jesus moped has broken down, so he's a little behind schedule.

Democrats are only evil when they are in power.
Republicans are pretty much evil all the time.
You win because you got there first. But ... (flux capacitor). Still not too late.

I'm a registered Democrat, and liberal on most issues, but i agree with everything you just said.

Now you're getting it: War is peace, freedom is slavery, and ignorance is strength. Welcome to the party brother.

I've been listening to these so long, I don't even hear the music anymore. All I see is pawn, knight, redhead.
