Well, it certainly doesn't look like anybody needs help finding vulnerabilities in MS code. New exploits are coming out every week. My guess is that if MS would publish the source of Windoze on-line, exploits will still appear at the same rate, since all exploit writers are 100% loaded as is...
There is probably an order of magnitude more Linux embedded systems than the total number of MS boxes ever produced since 1984 - DOS, Windoze the lot. Linux cell phones alone number about 2 billion units.

Actually, I have come to the conclusion that Windows users are people who like to suffer - masochists - the lot of them and Billy is exploiting it. He must have a deeper understanding of human nature than the average Linux Geek, which explains why he is so successful. After all, the Holy Bible - the worst story book ever - is also the most successful book ever. There is a lesson in there somewhere...
Yah, but by the time we manage to get there, there likely won't be any life there anymore, wherever there is and by the time we get back, there likely won't be any life here anymore either and the sun may have gone nova.
Space travel is kind of pointless. The distances are just too damn great.
Yup, I'm sure bad publicity does have some effect on a business. Ever since the RIAA started sueing little old ladies, I stopped buying RIAA CDs and bought many indies from CD Baby. Much more fun to listen to unusual stuff anyway, I hear the rest on the radio quite often enough and I think many other people are doing the same. Ditto for Penguin books - there are so many publishers to choose from...
Hmm, but that is always the case with technical issues. That is also why the decision doesn't matter - the techies will always figure out how to make something work despite all the hurdles the non-techies have placed in their way. This is a Dilbert principle.
If you can't square them, squash them and if you can't squash them, square them... Harold Wilson - of the Press.
Another reason hand counting is secure, is that the whole election is mostly run by senior citizens who have absolutely no incentive to screw the system over. It gives the people in the old age homes something interesting to do every two years or so for provincial and federal elections.
There is no reason why the USA can't do the same - unless maybe if the problem is that their senior citizens all went to public schools and can't read or write, but I kind of doubt that...
Yup, light weight guns, ammo and body armour will go much further, but since I'm not American - go for it man, build these 1000 pound gorrilas - it will make the rest of the world a better place when the US army gets bogged down and collapses under its own weight when their batteries run flat...
Well, the US, Britain and USSR has been doing that for decades. It was Clinton, Blair and Yeltsin who stopped funding terrorist groups, then they got pissed off and now Bush2 is fighting the previous allies...

Using Linux is boring - nothing ever goes wrong.
Huh? What POS Linux version are you running? Get a new version d00d - May I suggest Mandrake 10.0?

Hmmm, how about using an ethernet cross-over cable and FTP? See filezilla on sourceforge - a free MS Windoze FTP system.
Old MS policy. Copy stuff that works and put them out of business...
US Law doesn't apply in other countries? How about Cuba, Granada, Haiti, Panama, Iraq, Afganistan, Germany, Japan...
Mmm, I can see an MPAA tarpit coming - a dynamic HTML page that generates links to all the movie titles on the fly...
The best way to get a compatible WiFi card is to buy a discontinued card on Ebay.
Well, I guess HP could not understand that howto guide on TLDP either...
is the answer - witness K3B, an easy to use CD copying program - something unthinkable on a GNU/Linux system, a mere year ago.
You forgot about Alaska, you insensitive clod...

Well, you can already have 802.11bang...
Many people do exactly that - Americans go and work in Canada and vice versa, to avoid the non compete bull.

The issue is: How are we going to license the reception of Alian radio and video signals? The RIAA, MPAA and many other AAs are going to go ape...
Bah, you forgot to add the spam address and snail mail catalogue war address and the teledialler phone number...

Canadian elections are simple because we DON'T try to do everything on one day.
Nuff sed - go figure...

So, if everybody already believe it is overpriced, why the fsck would anyone buy any stock?
