Sorry for not putting it the middle, but the lamenesss filter won't allow it.

Perhaps the GP meant that Microsoft is the only alternative to Apple, and that Russian programmers can easily circumvent Windows security. That still doesn't explain how they would get into my Linux box.
And was Exxon told before the war that it would not get those contracts, or did its failure to obtain them occur after the war started? Of course, that's when happens when you can't get one of your former employees elected as Vice-President.
September 24, 1862 is the date President Lincoln suspended Habeas Corpus during the American Civil War, a time of rebellion (certainly as defined from his perspective). It was only suspended for those considered to be in rebellion.
What if you included this in your LaTex? \url{file:///C:/WINDOWS/SYSTEM32/cmd.exe} Maybe you could make it work with the \providecommand macro?
I don't know if that would work on my Ubuntu box:-). Also, I believe that violates the "really stupid" clause in my post. As another poster pointed out, one can have \write18{rm -fr/} in a TeX document, and then run tex with the --shell-escape option. Also not a good idea.

Shouldn't that be a brain-controlled device?
Just like those commies to pay more money to people who work better. Oh wait, you mean they didn't?
Yeah, people should issue death threats over weightier matters, such as health-care reform.
Oh, wait, maybe not
Wait until they implement flash multiplications!

I can read Cyrillic (or at least sound it out), you insensitive clod!
Are there people who would literally drink the Kool-Aid for Stallman? Again, I'm skeptical.
TeX/LaTeX. You can even convert to pdf.
So Stallman's demands to see source code as opposed to trust binaries are the same as Jones' demands for blind faith? Hmmm..., why am I not convinced?
Does anyone give a fuck what some dumbass hippy who has some cushy university job and doesn't understand business thinks?
Yes.
I don't really care how many people believe that "andro" is gender neutral. It isn't. "Anthropo" is gender neutraL
"Andro" is not the same as "anthropo".
"Android" is just as gendered as "gynoid". would you object to that word?
Do you have the objection to "gynecologist"?
Yeah, but think of the viruses!

From the article:
Do these contracts represent a "victory" for Big Oil in Iraq? Yes, but not one as big as the companies had hoped for (at least, not yet).
So ExxonMobil expected big gains, and simply failed to obtain them. Exxon believed that it would benefit from the war.
I'm sure those would-be murderers will scrupulously follow the law.
And was Exxon told before the war that it would not get those contracts, or did its failure to obtain them occur after the war started? Of course, that's when happens when you can't get one of your former employees elected as Vice-President.

No. Lincoln suspended it in 1861 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ex_Parte_Merryman, but he did issue the preliminary Emancipation Proclamation on Sept 22, 1862
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emancipation_Proclamation, so it would appear that the OP objects to the loss of freedom to enslave.
Yeah, because Exxon would never benefit from an American war against Iraq.
Yeah, he's some guy who couldn't prevent Oracle from buying his company.

How is LaTeX executable? Unless you do something really stupid, it's just markup, no more executable than plain HTML.
"Escalante" is close to the word "escalera", which is Spanish for "stairway". Jaime Escalante was indeed a stairway to knowledge for his students.
