To learn about copyright ethics -- that is, how unethical the very concept is -- be sure to read Boldrin & Levine's Against Intellectual Monopoly and Lessig's Free Culture.
Now here is an explanation of why that study is simply worthless, why that "60%" number is meaningless, and how, even if it was absolutely correct, it would mean 56 circumcisions would be necessary to prevent a single case of HIV infection, and it would still fail to prevent another case -- whereas giving everyone condoms instead would have prevented both cases.
Speaking of epidemics, there is that HIV epidemic in Africa. And how does the Gates Foundation help? By promoting male genital mutilation, aka circumcision -- which is damn well proven to be completely useless to prevent HIV infections.
You've got to be kidding me. I've been further even more decided to use even go need to do look more as anyone can. Can you really be far even as decided half as much to use go wish for that? My guess is that when one really been far even as decided once to use even go want, it is then that he has really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like. It's just common sense.
"Schadenfreude", German for "harm-joy", is pleasure derived from the misfortunes of others. And that's what I feel when I see Microsoft finally slipping. I surely don't have to list all the shit they've done before, but in this specific case: their trojan horse Stephen Elop destroyed Nokia from the inside. He killed the most successful mobile platform ever (Symbian), and the one that had the most future potential (MeeGo), to push the Windows shit that no one wanted -- all for the benefit of an external party, not the one who had hired him. (how the fuck was he not sued for breach of fiduciary duty yet?)
By all means, Microsoft, keep trying! Keep wasting money on a project without future. I hope I'll live to see you crash and burn at last.

In countries where they do female genital mutilation, they find medical excuses for it too.
Everyone is allowed to perform genital mutilation, as long as the victim is a male child.

20 years ago, a hijacker would change the route to a different country. Now, he'd change it to the side of a building.
You prefer things that less than 1% of the population even know about, and a hundredth of a percent of those people care about those features.
And yet, Android's global market share is over 80%.
I'm still waiting for Milo, that stupid Peter Molyneux never delivers!

A dead language, no?
Not like that stopped Apple before.

Can't we just hang everyone and their families, raze their homes, and salt the earth?

That's a nice company you got there. It would be a real shame if someone accused it of sexism...
Yeah, you're a troll, or mentally ill.
Holy shit, you ARE autistic, aren't you.
Yeah, hate group. I am KKK's next grand wizard. Fuck you, dipshit.
Why PC makers insist on crippling their own product I just don't get.
Because crapware makers pay PC makers to put that crapware there.
When I hit the "home" or "end" keys, I expect to go to the top or bottom of the document. So Apple is just being consistent.
It is still as infuriating, idiotic, and borderline unusable as it was back then.
You'll be claiming Apple invented the tablet next
The first non-shitty one: the Newton MessagePad.
It's a very popular distro, but not the most popular one: Distrowatch consistently puts it behind Mint.
