Most of their hardware and software was donated in the early days. This is STILL irrelevant as there are very few business endeavours that don't need startup capital. Google would have needed more, that is all.
All your comment does is helping further the perception that open source advocates don't understand a goddamned thing about business.
Fuck you and die. Fucking retards like you are the reason people despise and fear anything remotely connected to FOSS. Money doesn't make something become non-Free, retard. You and whoever modded your dumb ass as insightful should both be castrated with a dull fork.
If the exploit is not known to the public and is not being abused, developers can work together to simultaneously get patches out to a larger group of users.
That's called security by obscurity, dumbass. Microsoft gets assfucked on here for doing the same shit, then you go and try to defend it. Shut the fuck up and die.

Why wouldn't you be considering Linux - is there a downside here?
Yes. Firing the current staff and hiring in people that know Linux as well as the current staff knows Windows. You think knowledge comes overnight or is transferable from one OS to another? You're suggesting as much by pretending that this is a nonexistent problem. Need more reasons to not consider Linux? How about the cost of completely obliterating every server in an office and installing it? Then the cost of training all the non-IT workers to use the new tools.
What stupid little fanboys don't want to admit is that sometimes switching simply is not viable, wanted, or most importantly, NECESSARY.
How fucking pathetic is YOUR life that you actually take this shit so goddamned seriously? Treason? Are you honestly that fucking stupid? Do you even know what treason IS? You and other idiots like you are the ones that need to be electrocuted. Preferably through a metal rod inserted into your urethra.
You can bitch all you want about losing freedoms, but if all you do is sit in your parents basement fondling yourself while recompiling your kernel, exactly what freedoms are you losing?
The entire point of BT is to make it so that you can (as long as there are seeders) download something without the server getting swamped. Since all torrents have to have a tracker, everyone downloading has to contact that tracker. If you get a popular enough torrent you can easily kill a tracker just like any other server. Going to a trackerless setup eliminates one of the few bottlenecks in the BT setup.
Sort of. It was initially slated to be a 45 minute film that sort of embraced and extended the FFVII story, probably to get everything set up for FFVII part 2. Square decided to go ahead and make it feature length at some point. I'm happy they did. I hate RPG's and didn't care much for playing FFVII, but the story and characters were awesome and seeing them in a full length film will be sweet.
Steals? It's LGPL, dumbass. Apple fulfills their end of the bargain by making their source available and contributing patches to the KHTML team. Whether those patches are useful to KHTML isn't Apple's problem. Deal with it, asswipe.
Actually, yeah it has. The only game they've done a sequel to was Radiant Silvergun and even then the sequel (Ikaruga) isn't EXACTLY a sequel since it plays totally different. Treasure doesn't answer to any marketing departments. Look at their track record if you need proof. Even their licensed games (McDonald's Treasureland Adventure) are excellent.
Bullshit. You have to remember we're talking about hunters, not fucking snipers. Hunters don't sit in one place a half a mile from where deer/moose/whatever congregate and pick them off. Those 'high powered and long range' rifles are typically used at less than 100 yards, simply to ensure the absolute minimum chance of missing. It would be trivial to set up a blind in a treetop and take pot shots at a group of deer a half a mile away but hunters don't do that shit because it's unsporting and, more importantly, it's too much of a pain in the ass to drag a deer that far.

It was a joke. You're an idiot.
Fuck you.
Because, as we all know, there has never been any kind of security flaw in anything open ever made ever ever ever. Go back to kindergarten, fuckhead.

Google isn't based on open source software. Their use and support of it is ENTIRELY IRRELEVANT to their revenue stream.

What's your fucking point? I'm honestly asking this question because if you have a point I can't fucking see it.
Troll? What fucking sad-ass Debian fanboy modded this TROLL? Are people actually that goddamned dumb?

Okay, that was actually funny...
That's the dumbest goddamned thing I've ever fucking read. START making IE only sites? Because of NETSCAPE? Are you Icelandic or a fucking moron?
You mean like coding pages that are broken in EVERYTHING, despite being standards compliant?

So does the Linux kernel. What's your point?

BTW, I'm not a hunter.
RTFA. That is not the case. You're a dumbass.
