I just typed Hello world. and saved the file using Word XP. Windows reports the filesize as 23.5 KB (24,064 bytes), with size on disk being 24.0 KB (24,576 bytes).
Now I typed Hello world. in Notepad and saved that. Windows reports the filesize as 12 bytes (12 bytes), with size on the disk being 4.00 KB (4,096 bytes).
I'd be happy to email you the files if you still aren't convinced.
If you're talking about licensing.. then not according to the Open Source Initiative. The BSD license grants you just as many, if not more freedoms, than the GPL. Perhaps you could elaborate on how you feel FreeBSD is an oxymoron, though.

Grr. Security through obscurity is NOT A BAD THING. It is only a bad thing if it is the ONLY security measure you have, or if you are heavily relying on it. But as an added security measure on top of a solid system, there is nothing wrong with that.

Funny thing about the whole 'turn the other cheek' bit.. it wasn't meant as a sign of humility or accepting being persecuted or any of that. It was to force your attacker to accept you as an equal.
In the society of that time, a slap on the cheek was not intended as a physical injury but rather as an insult, putting an inferior back in his or her place. The strength of that insult depended greatly upon which hand dealt it: as the left hand was seen as unclean, a slap with the left hand was the insult far greater than one dealt with the right hand. This was reflected in the legal penalties for an inappropriate slap: the penalty for slapping a peer with your left hand was a fine one hundred times the penalty for slapping a peer with your right hand; the penalty for slapping a better with your right hand was a fine while the penalty for slapping a better with your left hand was death. The people Jesus was speaking to most directly were, by and large, slaves and the downtrodden. A slap on the right cheek was dealt with the left hand. To turn the other cheek would leave the master with two options. The first would be to slap the slave again, but this time with the right hand (therefore declaring the slave a peer). The second would be not to slap the slave again (therefore effectively rescinding the first slap). Now, such impudence and sauciness would often tend to bring punishment, but it none the less says "Hey, I'm a human. I have rights. You can't treat me like this." It is not an action without suffering for oneself, nor does it inflict suffering on the "enemy": but it does say and do something in a powerful way. (from JonathansCorner.com)
Judging by the.NET ads at the top of Slashdot, they are being paid by both sides.
You make it sound like Microsoft said "Hey, Slashdot, run some.NET ads of ours.", and Slashdot said "Sure."
Slashdot runs Doubleclick ads. Doubleclick supplies ads for thousands of websites, and thousands advertise through Doubleclick. The only reason Slashdot has to show Microsoft ads in its pages is because Microsoft advertises through Doubleclick, and I don't think Slashdot has much say about what Doubleclick ads they show. But thanks for the knee-jerk reaction.
If this is indeed a console with the ability to run PC games, how much do you want to bet Microsoft will deny them OEM pricing on Windows or its technology?
That's pretty interesting (what does/did the fourth column do? Any sites I can read about it at?). But I meant what I said more along the lines of adding extra letter keys, in addition to the letters already present on the number keys, would most likely to cause consumer confusion when dialing numbers.

Nope.

Yeah, that's not likely to cause confusion with the letters already present on phone keypads. Not at all.
