1) he feels bad for ripping of so many people and forcing thousands of people out of work 2) he wants tax breaks 3) he wants people to like him, and he can spare 750m for that cause (like when mr burns does in the simpsons, except mr burns throws pennies off a bridge) 4) he's a good man, except in business
I would imagine they dont want to piss off microsoft too much yet, until firefox gets a reasonable market share - at that point, google are free of microsoft.
Probably because they dont like relying on microsoft, who are quite likely (imho) to create an MSN search bar for IE (if they haven't already), similar to the google search bar in opera and firefox.
If they ensure one full time programmer on firefox, thats a good thing for firefox, which is a good thing for google.
Its kind of like why all those big companies are interested in linux - lessens their reliance on microsoft, its one of those rare "everybody wins" situation (no i dont count the pyramid schemes as an "everybody wins" situation)
Sell it to the battery powered device manufacturers. They can use it as their charger in the hope that eventually more devices will use it, that way, everybody will have one and they'l be very useful (can i charge my phone/ipod/mp3 player/laptop please dave. yes, just put it on the tray.)
that was one of those things they used to have back when everybody worked down the mines in the UK, and walked to work, nine miles up hill, and back nine miles up hill, in the wind and hail, every day, wasn't it?
But seriously, thank god somebody remembers the constitution.
alternatively, put it on a desk and accidentily lean on it. oooh, it tingles. maybe you'd need to be wearing an analogue watch (they have coils) i dont know.
i dont mean to be an arse, but you can do that in linux too. look up porthole for gentoo. i know debian has stuff for that too, but im not sure what it uses.
wouldn't more c02, less o2 decrease the number of people with asthma. We're told that breathing slowly helps, as the body tries to make us breath slowly by blocking our lungs off, great....

four guesses:
1) he feels bad for ripping of so many people and forcing thousands of people out of work
2) he wants tax breaks
3) he wants people to like him, and he can spare 750m for that cause (like when mr burns does in the simpsons, except mr burns throws pennies off a bridge)
4) he's a good man, except in business
personally, i wouldn't go for 4
Sod them, i meant everybody (who is sane and non-evil) wins
no, but they do have a linux specific search:
http://www.google.com/linux
I use it all the time, nice of them to create it.

unless the client had a 300 call limit - thats still pretty generous

(no, that wasn't meant to be facecious)
(no, i cant spell long words)
so we could have debian gnu/solaris
Thats not much of a price drop considering that its much faster to develop software (RAD tool's - I bet there's some VB, VB.NET or c# in office2003.
Plus programmers today, compared to 20 years ago are two-a-penny.

Maybe, it would be a major threat to the non-rechargable battery industry, who could finance "research"
If murder didn't harm anybody, you could:
When you look at porn, your not restricting anybody elses freedoms. When you kill somebody, your restricting somebody elses freedom to live.
const...err...constitution?

Maybe stupid patents? or people being scared of it?

What about the composite extention, which is very cool and becoming more and more stable (kde4/qt4 is going to use it later this year)
