I fail to see how making it possible to live in another country is taking away freedom. Taking away freedom is freely trading with other countries but forcing the people of those countries to live in the same shitty conditions. If people are willing to move to India for a job then that tells me the standard of living in India must be rising. I don't see it falling anytime soon either. Nobody is saying you have to move to India.
Actually, MS payed people to develop Windows Media Player and Internet Explorer. Where do you think they got the revenue to pay those people from? They got it from selling the OS. Meaning that whether you acknowlege it or not. You did pay for it. You payed for the OS. Part of that money went to the development of IE and WM. As the saying goes, there is no such thing as a free lunch.
Well, considering that Saddam's reasoning for kicking out the oil companies in Iraq was more of an anti-capitalist thing I think he would have been more likely to ban MS Windows.
Maybe someone mentioned this but I certainly didn't see A Tale in the Desert mentioned anywhere. Go to atitd.com and download the trial. Brilliant game.
Adapation was by far the best movie. I have never seen Nicholas Cage do this good of an acting job. The story was brilliant. I don't see how I haven't seen this mentioned.
How about a small device that connects to the line-in jack of a computer and inputs inaudible tones that the computer can then interpret as the correct user

Computer Engineering jobs are supposed to increase 100% in the next 10 years. I would go for that. It is sort of like a combination of EE and CompSci.
I know, I have it running on the 2.4 kernel right now.
That'a great. Now all I have to do is get the 2.6 kernel.
Maybe someone will write a shitty OSS patch for it. Wouldn't be the first time.
I wouldn't worry about that. Oh wait, just read the above 5-7 posts and get the exact same answer in every one.

Oops Nevermind, someone did post about it.

Did it really? Because I saw it in the theater the same day I saw Matrix Reloaded. That was this year wasn't it?
