You don't need datapoints when you have a study in TFA and the study says you're wrong. Now now, there's nothing bad about having a wrong opinion about yourself, I'd think most people think they drive better than average, are more intelligent than average, are morally superior to the average. It's simple selection bias.
How many C64 cassettes did you copy and then turn around to buy?
What if the BIOS doesn't allow booting at all if there isn't a 1024-bit key whose value depends on the serial numbers of all the components in the netbook?
Guess what, the vast majority of attacks exploit old, publicly disclosed vulnerabilities. Keeping your software up-to-date protects against those better than relying on A/V, because your A/V might not detect a new variant of an old exploit.
When it comes to 0-day exploits, they have been tested and confirmed to work against A/V, so you're just as vulnerable, even more so, if your A/V itself has vulnerabilities.
The main tenets in Idiocracy were that IQ is hereditary and those with less IQ spend more time procreating. Automation was merely allowing their society to function, barely. IOW, I don't see your point. Can you elaborate, please?
I think you'll find that if you let that Windows application of yours run as it was intended (ie. with enough space on c:, with full administrator privileges, etc.), it will just work. You don't need to rely on some Microsoft repository administrator to make that choice for you.
Regarding compatibility, why is it "you are only allowed to install our version of program X" instead of "I see you have installed program X, I'll make myself compatible with it"? Why is it "you are only allowed to run our software X and software Y" instead of "I see you have both software X and Y, I'll make them interoperate better"?

What if you ARE dealing with massive data AND complex relationships?
Isn't that the point, though? Drop all the features of SQL databases that hinder scalability and you end up with NoSQL.
Why do you feel entitled to information someone else has decided to fund, information that you've already said you don't want?
Oh, so now the rest of the world should bow down to your whims just so YOU are not FORCED to pirate stuff.
Why did you pirate movies when there's demo versions readily available? They're called trailers you know.
I don't want new information, because that is costly.
Alright, you are to not pirate anything produced after Saturday October 24, 03:20PM, 2009.
Let us know how that goes.

I don't get your point. That sounds just like required registration on most websites nowadays.
No it doesn't, so there's no reason NOT to require passports (aside from the slight inconvenience).
Mark Shuttleworth, is that you?

Every moderator who got confused mod parent up!
A good AV will detect unknown threats and zero day attacks even before you read about them.
Really, how does that work if the malware has been tested to work against the AV before it being released into the wild?

You may have a bit too rosey a recollection of it. Some choice quotes from Wikipedia:
"Classic was a hardware and software abstraction layer"
"Classic's compatibility is very good, provided the application using it does not require direct access to hardware or engage in full-screen drawing."
"The greater processing power of most systems that run Mac OS X helps to mitigate the performance degradation of Classic's emulation."
Right-click a file, click Properties, observe Size and Size on disk.

See idiocracy. Go out and watch it. I'll wait

Free is just another price. Therefore, I am not going to read Anderson's book until he pays me $10.
Ummm, I read the post but it didn't seem to say anything beyond "Gladwell sucks". Did I miss something?
Look at your post and then answer your question.
Hint: there's no mention of either RMS or Mono in your post.
Better question, do we want to win, if the winning entry ends up to be the inpenetrable mess that is html+css+javascript?

And my point is that the people making the software are not always familiar with every distribution
And neither should they be. They should be able to write their software and have it run as intended on every distribution that is able to run it.
