The secret service has a hand in counterfeiting and copyright infringement. It isn't a surprise to see them involved in this bust as it is what they are supposed to do.
Thus far their policies seem just fine. Think about how many young kids visit google daily. Do you want them advertising guns and alcohol to them? Sure they advertise porn, but it isn't like they have 30 porn popups when you enter the site. You have to be interested in that stuff to begin with to see them.
Compared to the ads on other sites, google is great. I have yet to see a "seizure" ad as I call them. "If this banner is furiously flashing, you'v3e just won... even though it's an image.. and will flash regardless of whether you "won" or not"
And it all comes down to one thing: It's still a damn good search engine.
*raises hand*
I am one of those newbies who gave up on debian. Mp3s wasn't a major reason, but it was one...
More people will use Linux if it is easy to use.
Posting a HOWTO every once in a while is helpful, and I'm sure things like this will help linux grow even more.
Just so you know, extra noise coming from fans isn't ALWAYS from the dust (however a lot tends to be). A little oil in the fan goes a long way. Some fans just don't hold up to being run all the time, and putting some oil on them helps to extend their life and make them quieter:)

It's an obvious joke. The site is hilarious, it reminds me of furniture porn. ( http://www.furnitureporn.com/ - Not an actual porn site (sorry))

Oh crap, I wish I had known before I started jigsawing random parts of my computer and sticking dynamat everywhere I possibly could...
