There is nothing wrong with having a monopoly. Its really disturbing how little most of slashdot understands on this matter. The anti-trust case had NOTHING to do with Office. It's not relevant.
Your analogies are lame and irrelevant.
You do not think it's correct based on what? Have you studied evolutionary biology? If you haven't your stance is irrelevant and should not be considered. You didn't even understand what a scientific theory is yet you feel knowledgable enough dismiss evolution. You sir are part of the problem.
For one, who cares if its selfless. It's giving.It helps no matter what his intentions.
Secondly, when people give almost a billion dollars in one shot it's newsworthy.
This sight is full of drones. Slashdot editors so easily get the reaction they desire with a few little words attached to the story.
How is this insightful? How does the linux community contribute anything? You, using free software doesn't add anything to my life or a poor hungry kid in Somalia. Get a grip.
Maybe if you actually contributed to writing and maintaining linux and then bought computers installed linux and flew to Somalia and tought a little Somalian child how to hate Bill Gates, and talk in non-sense like you do, and and hack some C code in emacs to vaccinate her friends could you consider to be helping the world.
Wow.
Ok, the linux community are the users correct? If its the contributors only we are talking about they are hardly relevant as most of you people do NOT contribute to linux.
How is using free software helping society enough to compare it to Gates foundation donating $27 billion in its history? I am confused. Could someone make it clear to me?
How is the parent a troll? DOn't liek to hear the truth?
These comments are really unbeleivable. Can you name another person who has donated $27 Billion to charity? THis is jsut one single donation yet everyone is talking about 1.5%. Who cares if it's 1000th of a percent, it will have way more impact than if I or any of you donated 100% of our salaries for the next 20 years.
This is about the greater good served not the rightousness of Bill Gates.
comparing linux to $750 million dollar donation to charity is laughable.
That doesn't change my point at all. The opposition claim that they are or will be used.

That doesn't make any sense. There would be no need to conceive only to abort. There are plenty enough abortions occurring to supply plenty of stem cells for research.
It's a bogus argument that's used to shield a religious motive.
Yes, your response is completely rational and scientific. Swearing and name calling is definately a valid debating technique taught at all the best universities.
What exactly is the relevance of you being an engineer? Does that somehow qualify to speak on the mechanics of evolution?
Your shortcomings in understanding biological evolution are just that.
Sorry to be hard on you, but you hear this kind of thing so often. Being an expert in one area does not mean you have the slightest clue in another.
How so? Every year the MPAA members make more than the previous. Going by your logic the opposite should be true today. Fascinating how facts always seems to get in the way of good propaganda.
You make a good point and in a perfect world you are probably correct. THe problem lies in who is defining the framework for what is indecent and what is clean.
For example, to me nudity is not an issue of morality. Somehow American culture has decided that a nude body in any context is indecent or at the very least the domain of adulthood. On US television they even blur out the breasts on most if not all educational medical shows. Does that not strike you as odd? The direction this is going is not a good one I predict.
Good effort, but I think your letter misses a very important point. I think they agree with your assessment of people as parents. Thats why they need to protect those very children. If there are so many bad parents, as you elude to, who is protecting those children from the the content of these shows.
They know best is the mantra. They aren't idiots. The Christian right has a lot of influence because they are very deliberate and very calculating.

Criminally convicted? hah. You do realize that antitrust violations are not criminal offenses.
Do you have any idea how online card sites RNG's work? No didn't think so.
Please come sit at my table. Your expert strategy would be a wonder to watch.

Are you serious? Microsoft is to blame because some kids skipped school to play Halo 2? Get a grip man.
several hundred school board meetings and you aren't a parent? Hah, nice hobby.
How I wish more people thought like the parent. Sad state of affairs.
Give me a break with that justice for the family shit. It's killing just the same.

What part of "there is no copyrighted material on their site" do you not understand?
Usually winning an academy award for acting means you have some pretty good acting skills.
