Damn, I keep messing up. It appears that GDP includes net exports (when I took economics, GDP was distinguished from GNP by excluding net exports, as far as I could tell). Note that India was a net importer in 2004, so by your standards, it was slightly better off.
Also, looking at your data I see that China has "only" 46.7% of its people living on less than $2 a day, India at 79.9%, and most of the other countries below 80%. The only populous nation (that I noticed) having so high a poverty level was Nigeria.
Also, while the Gates Foundation could compile publicly available data, how would it generate data in the first place?
You still haven't answered my question. And GDP does not include either imports or exports. Also, how skewed are ther income distributions? As much as the US?
Also, a search for Grooss Domestic Product on the Gates Foundation web site returned no entries. So where does the Gates Foundation keep these figures, and how do they obtain them?
According to Wikipedia, the People's Republic of China has a per capita GDP (PPP) of $5,642 and India has a per capita GDP of $3,080. True, there is some spread in those countries, but how many make less than $365 per year? Also, those nations are nearer the bottom than the top. The figures for nominal GDP, as opposed to PPP, are worse.
But is this due to the size of Microsoft, or the nonmodularity of its code? If it wrote,odular code, it would not have to worry about the global effects of code changes, because there wouldn't be any.
One could mount/tmp noexec as well (assuming a separate/tmp partition). This would still allow for the execution of scripts in/tmp, such as python/tmp/destroy_your_data.py, but it might make it harder.

How did you get the 80%?

The ability to kill a task depends on the owner of the task. One doesn't have to be root to kill a user task.

But even that may be in jeopardy. What happens if people use OpenOffice.org, Firefox, etc?
I don't use Microsoft Windows, I don't need Microsoft Windows, and my software (GNU emacs, TeX/LaTeX, gcc, etc) doesn't require it.
Know your enemy? Hey, that what Sun Tzu would say.
And what happens if you install Linux?
Why so many x's?
I can't control that, but I do reset them to Helvetica.
Doesn't the Constitution ban cruel and unusual punishment?
Not all Linux users would accept Arial as a substitute for Helvetica.
Sounds more like Ballmer. :-)
Yeah, but how many is that? I could easily fit 30 terminal windows on 16 virtual desktops.
Nonstandard?
You don't evaluate a program by its features, or how many resources it uses, but by how it appears?
China does not have the greatest landmass, as Russia and Canada have more.
I don't recall the Netherlands being in WWI, though they were subjected to the British blockade.
And people wonder why Mac users get flamed as sheep? Gee, heaven forbid you see a new UI.
Which commercial OSes? All my Linux distros include emacs.
How about emacs and an A-10?
That's classic!
