You cannot (or should not be able to) force a company to do business with you if they don't want to
Well, the civil rights movement stopped that. I guess his argument is that they cannot deny him of service simply because of his choice of business. Now, I agree, beeing black is different than being a spammer, I just thought I'd play devil's advocate for a moment.
"When the search engines show that ads are ads, we're hoping consumers will flee these search engines," Ruskin said.
Do they really believe that? The average joe really isn't going to care, and he probably thinks that if a site can afford to pay the search engine, it must be good.
Yet another pay-for-linux release. When will they learn that we don't want to pay for linux. I can see where companies would pay for support, but the major selling point of Linux is that it is free. Whenever I tell someone about linux (only when they ask), they alays say "and it's free??? that's impossible! well, I guess it's worth a try." I mean, since you don't LOSE anything to try it out, that makes it a lot more attractive for some people to "make the switch."
Since no arrests were made, this seems like a scare tactic to me. And if as small ISP can get the FBI to scare off 23 customers, just wait and see what the RIA can do...
MSNBC is a Microsoft-NBC joint venture (from the article)
Oh, and they're not biased at all, huh?
I really fail to see their argument. They ask "Whatever happened to Linux anyway?" But then they go on and say "But Linux software is getting better," and "Now Linux is becoming more mainstream every day." They seem to contradict themselves!

RESPONSE:
The RE techniques used are generally protected in most states under what is generally known as the 'compatability' clause. I'm afraid I am based in Australia and cannot quote the applicible US equivilents for you at this time, but I am certain the LEC legal team is aware of the appropriate sections of the copyright act.
Sounds like LEC's legal team needs to get it's act together!
First Microsoft's new privacy product must gain pupularity. Untill the average home user thinks he needs this extra protection (if it can be called that), then linux will still work with the majority of computers. Also, seeing how many (1/3 I believe) webservers run Apache, Microsoft can't just stop open source in its tracks. It would take much more than a new product to kill linux.
