There's a despair poster, I believe, with a caption along the lines "it could be, your main purpose in life, is to provide a warning to others". (Damn it, the internet made me check... "It could be that the purpose of your life is only to serve as a warning to others."
ZFS's purpose was not to be a next generation file system, but to encourage next generation file systems to be built. Free Software has a tendency to get stuck at "good enough" sometimes. And someone has to come along and show that there is a better way. Competition is good. Sometimes it's internal (gcc vs egcs), sometimes it commercial (CVS vs perforce and bitkeeper).
What if ZFS was GPL? What if it went into Linux? It might get incremental tweaks, but it would stagnate at "good enough". Instead, btrfs, hammer, etc were developed -- much better, much cleaner file systems.
ZFS has some cute tricks. What could be better than taking a sledgehammer to a disk drive without causing problems? But ultimately, ZFS would hold linux back.
Those 3,0000 teachers are costing, oh, half that (or more with benefits) per year. Maybe 5-6 billion for the 20 years they work. After 20 years, they'll retire with a nice pension and get paid their peak salary for 30 years. That's another $9 billion.
She reported $50 in income to the IRS. Once license fees and "business" expenses are factored in, that would be a $250+ business loss and the IRS would classify it as a hobby.
What about kuro5hin? Rusty put up a $5 paywall for the same reason. The result: a significant drop in new users. There are only 3 people willing to pay $5; two of them are mentally deranged kooks who invariable get banned after shitting all over for a month or two. The other was responsible for the $5 fee in the first place.
Apple has a vested interest in making sure people don't think OS X is a toy OS only suitable for phones. Same with Microsoft (although they should probably throw in the towel on windows 7 phone). Google doesn't give a shit. As android becomes more and more popular, many people are hearing of linux for the first time and (knowingly) using linux for the first time. If they associate linux = android = phone, it might hurt linux on the desktop.
Let's say you and your fellow co-workers decide to unionize. Fluffer's local 69. The Man hires someone to negotiate your union contract. But you and your fellow coworkers collect up money and bribe the negotiator. Well, that would be illegal. Unless that bribe was a campaign donation.
My first year, we had a required half credit diversity sensitivity class. The book ($70-80 maybe, it was almost 15 years ago) was about a magazine's worth of reprinted newspaper articles. Printed on campus. I think they laughed at me when I brought it to the book buyback.
He makes a good point though. Some of my fondest memories of ex girlfriends, etc, was awesome blowjobs. Maybe it's because most of them didn't do it on a regularly basis, which made it more special when they did. So try fisting or anal, something that you'll remember and can jack off to later.

I assumed it was "stimulus" money at work.

google adsense does the same thing. Ameritrade takes the deposits back afterwards.
They released the source code, you can host it yourself or use PiratePad, et alia

Google doesn't play nice.
Windows, OS X, Linux/wine, BSD/wine, XBox 360, or PS3.
assuming you have a jvm for your platform.
I'm a debian/alpha user and can't do jack shit with their packages.
where's the shit-eating-at-the-library copy-pasta when you need it?
newegg sells windows 7 ultimate full ($290) or professional full ($270) for under $300. Half that if you go OEM.
hahah, but docbook.org has the entire book online.

idle section much?
sid also had an unofficial m68k port.
Every one is still in use and all but alpha are still manufactured.
