There is no such thing as a progressive Christian state. Progressive states are secular. By the time the US becomes a Christian state it will no longer be progressive. That is the trend we see from outside of the US.
Ha, give me a break. You moronic Microsoft fanboys are barking clueless for the most part. Blinded by your ridiculous lust and loyalty for a product that more often than not takes more time and gives you more heartache than Linux ever would. Some of us don't want to be slaves to corporations like you. Get over yourselves and realise that Linux has a place in the OS world. People who want ease of use, no fiddling with registry files, virus checkers, malware removers, DRM, and want to develop art/applications/websites with some of the best tools in the world.... will not use a Microsoft based OS. Believe me, Linux has its issues, some of them can be annoying but the enormity of the thing and the fact that it pretty much works straight out of the box is an impressive feat. So mod me down, and continue modding up the tool bags who merely say idiotic statements purely because they are anti Linux. A lot of slashdot's articles can be insightful but the comments seem to come from American teenage boys and as soon as something MS or Windows related pops up most of you people lose all reason and salivate at the mouth. I guess I can take solace in the fact that I could probably beat the enire lot of you with the help of our community.:)
Poor diddums, confused are we? Never you mind, why don't you just stay in the warm embrace of uncle Bill and leave the advanced stuff to the grown ups.
Who wants to waste time learning how to use software to combat problems that shouldn't be there in the first place? Anyone who uses an OS that needs a virus checker is a retard. Anyone who doesn't go looking for alternatives is a retard. Anyone who happily gives his money to the richest man on the planet is a retard.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Not only is Windows not ready for the desktop but it is an insult to the intelligence and actually makes you stupid. Linux has been ready for my desktop for 12 years. It has been ready for my wife's desktop for 10 years. It has been ready for my sons' (aged 12 and 8) desktops for 10 and 6 years respectively. I'll admit that my family members are probably smarter than you but they are not geniuses. My wife got a new laptop 6 months ago so I left Windows XP on a partition for her so she could try it out. She hates it because it never behaves the same way twice and virus checking kills the machine.
I fail to understand why you youngsters always defend Microsoft. Perhaps you haven't been around long to have seen all the alternatives to Microsoft's junk. Yes they are evil. Yes they are American. To a lot of people in the rest of the world (you know, where the dragons are), that is a particularly bad combination at the moment.
Wow, if you think that Bill Gates does NOT qualify as "very evil" then you don't recognize the qualities he shares with other very evil people. These include greed, lust for power, ruthlessness, win at all costs, the end justifies the means, etc. You should read more.
'they have just successfully campaigned to remove accountability for controversial drug approvals from the Health Minister [who might have to justify himself to the Australian people] and pass it to an entirely unaccountable "panel of experts"'
This is not true and you know it. Didn't your mother tell you not to tell lies? The health minister had a right wing Christian agenda. That's why many people in his own party voted against him.
There is a way to get off the Microsoft treadmill you know? I've been off it for 11 years now and couldn't be happier with my state of the art OS. It's never more than a couple of months old. I don't know how people put up with 5 year old technology from last century and pay for the privilege.

aptosid, slackware, kubuntu, debian come to mind immediately. How is that out of your way?
It's crap like this that will eventually make the USA a fundamentalist religious backwater to be scared of and laughed at at the same time.
This is an historic day. It is the first time I ever agreed with Bill Gates about anything.

I missed all versions of Windows except 95 which was my last.
The bad guys already have this technology. Think about it.

You're a pussy and I bet you still have training wheels on your bicycle. Real programmers don't need IDEs.
You paid for that stuff? They'd have to pay me plenty to use that crap. I'd sooner use the free alternatives.
It's an American thing. The rest of the English speaking world uses 'soldering'.
It was probably the GNU/Linux screensaver which kicked in when the telescope was idle for 5 minutes.
Yep. He's American.

No it doesn't make you an idiot but it does make you unintelligent.

Your parents are pretty average and it looks like their offspring are pretty average too.

You still don't understand do you? Please just stay with Windows, the herd mentality must be right. Bill Gates needs you, don't let him down.
