And the obvious superiority you've conveyed with your tone is reflected quite nicely in the fact that so few people actually know of (never mind know) any of those languages.
I guess it's tough being extra-right all the time and still being ignored. Sorry.
I guess when you wholeheartedly (perhaps zealously) agree with the sentiment behind the questions, they don't seem loaded. It's a little different when you're on the receiving end.
I'm not really defending Microsoft, though, and if you didn't append that "fool" to the end of your post, I probably wouldn't have replied. I'm just don't with arrogant zealotry.
So a company advertising its product is worthy of anger? What a bizarre outlet. Why does it deserve a strong emotion? I find ignoring it works just as well and expends less energy.
That's got a lot more to do with the fact that Steve wanted access to a larger market than he had at the time then any altruistic impulses to let Windows users in on the Ipod fun.
This is a fine example of framing the debate. The marketing department of Nintendo is attempting (and succeeding? I can't tell) to paint themselves as having only to compete with themselves. It's just part of they overall strategy they've been executing for the last several years.
I advocate any structure which punishes people for success. We need to enforce equality across the board.
My recommendation, however, goes far beyond taxes, as I don't feel they do enough.
When a person reaches certain percentiles on the income scale, they should be 'taxed' a proportionate amount of their body. For example (these are not real numbers, as I have not yet reached a completely fair formula) when a person crosses into the 90th percentile, they lose a pinky finger. At the 92nd percentile, it's a hand. 95th, an arm. I think you can see the pattern.
This allows us to enforce equality at a level that cannot be matched with mere confiscatory financial policy. The threat of limb removal will assure that no one will attempt to rise above the rest again.
Even the pamphlet "Why Freegan", the nearest thing to a freegan movement "bible" is confusing in defining what exactly constitutes freeganism. On the one hand it defines freeganism as "an anti-consumeristic ethic about eating," and goes on to describe practices including dumpster diving, plate scraping, wild foraging, gardening, shoplifting, employee scams, and barter as alternatives to paying for food.
I know that this is hard to understand, but sometimes in life people won't share your opinions. This doesn't make them wrong, or stupid. It just means they don't have the same beliefs as you.
I do so love a rant (based on the flimsy assumption that anyone wants a geek as a customer) that ends in a justification for copyright infringement. So very slashdot.

Humans are natural, hence they are part of natural selection. This false dichotomy between nature and man is, frankly, just so much hippie bullshit.

I love offtopic diatribes about fringe causes. Makes me proud to be an American.

I'm willing to bet this boycott is about as effective as taking two aspirin for a gunshot wound.
Yeah, Microsoft should be shaking so hard their money has fall off.
It's too make up for the fact that command line gurus are socially retarded.
We're lucky they found it before it was hunted to extinction by the naugabeast.
There's nothing wrong with stealing from corporations. It only hurts rich people, and they aren't really people.
Since I'm an atheist, I guess this is where I say "stop bashing people because of their religion" to my fellow atheists.
I'm on my thrid set after about 60 hours of playtime.
What impresses me is I've had the system for 9 days and I've played for 60 hours already... good gravy.
Since nothing is official, and certainly nothing is being sold, I'd say everyone gets to wait right now.

I'm generally surprised by the need people feel to insult the religious, but on Slashdot, I expect it in droves.

Obviously the answer would be to force Microsoft to advocate for its competitors. Nothing else makes sense.
You lose the strawman claim since you directly stated wealth should be taxed.
(I know overall wealth is not taxed in the US. That's the problem. We should be shifting the tax burden from work to wealth.)

Ah, quite moral.
Pardon us for successfully putting together a country that works. I guess that's a good reason to hate us.

That's why they call it zealotry.
Your time is never free, it just means you had no one to charge for it.
If you really think it was free, just try to get more of it.
