Wikipedia's main goal is, unlike companies like Google, Microsoft and Yahoo, not to earn money. I am certainly against any kind of censorship, but I see why Google, Microsoft and Yahoo accept it: They are capitalistic companies, Wikipedia is not.
In many ways, you're right.
A good example of this is that all government institutions had to switch to "Electronic Billing", which used a XML format called OIOXML. By 2005, I think, government institutions were not allowed to accept paper bills of any kind. Only two cities/kommuner actually took this all the way: Odder Kommune is one of them. Every paper bill they recieved, would be put in an envelope and returned to the sender. I believe it's the toughest, but still best way to teach the suppliers "if you want your money, upgrade your systems".
From what I have heard, it is not efficient yet, but if the public administration would start enforcing policies like that, it would be much less time-wasting.
What we really need when creating user accounts would be to get a choice:
The user is a beginner
Then the user will get the neat-looking desktop with lots of colors, sounds (even the click sound when you click your mouse) and all the other crap like tutorials and "click here"-balloon messages.
The user is experienced
This way, Windows will deliver maximum performance (ha ha), turn off those annoying sounds and let you be in charge.
When I was in school, I worked as 'student support'.
We used to have a program named DeepFreeze installed. We would give students admin rights (because a few computers still ran Windows 98), and it worked great. Each time the computer was booted, it would mirror back to the original setup. If a teacher needed a certain program for his/her class, we would just turn off deep freeze, install it on the computer, and run Ghost to get it mirrored. Faster than installing the cd on each computer.
The biggest problem we ever faced was a student that found a pc in the library, which was turned on 24x7. He installed Kazaa and started downloading via the 100 mbit connection.:-) He even stored it on a network share, and unfortunately accessed that particular account logged on as himself. He had a nice little talk with the principal while we booted the computer.
I am also very pleased with Microsoft choosing to give their BSOD a red background color. One of my customers always says "And now I'm at the blue screen", meaning that he his computer booted up successfully and he is now seeing his desktop, which happens to have a blue background by default.
The Google Blog post shows that the posters, working for Google, forgot the rel="nofollow" attribute themselves when posting.
Maybe they just wanted a higher ranking for their friends:)
And Google could let their GoogleIM users chat with users of other networks such as MSN's, AOL's and so forth. After each message, they could append: "\nThis instant message was sent via GoogleIM. To avoid seeing this very annoying message, download GoogleIM at http://im.google.com". Everybody would love it.
Sounds interesting, but by publicly stating you're in a such class, you will eliminate the slightest chance of getting a girlfriend - except if's she's in that particular class.
..so this is what they call html. Maybe they can code the best search engine in the world, but they still haven't figured out how to write proper html.
100 % flamebait. I guess someone took it personal.

Sure it is ridiculuous, but not more than my Programming II class tests. There was an error in the answer sheet, and so my teacher wouldn't let me pass with 100%. I had to code a whole little program using the "impossible" solution before he believed me.

Hmm.. This way, you could make use of the 10-finger system together with T9 (which you know from cellular phones) and never make a typo.

After waiting for so long, I guess it would be more appropriate to title this post "Duke Nukem in production Forever".
I'm just waiting for the day.

Clumsy? Then why are you using your keyboard to post that comment?
You are probably going to need a lot of wholesale organ replacement.
Trust me, Walmart will soon open a such store.
