What they should do is make their software usable under Linux. I can not buy a map and activate it, unless I have Windows (or use somebody elses machine)
Where I live I have never signed anything. I was in hospital, I was operated. All they did was explain some risks and rights. If they would have asked me to sign a waiver, I would have asked them if they intended to do a bad job.
When I was in school, many moons ago, the teacher just wrote up who was there and who wasn't. Is Johnny in class? No? Report it. No matter if he was in school roaming the halls. Why solve a social problem with a technical solution?
The bad thing is that these are the people who should teach your children.
How do I know I am supporting freedom of speech and not aid in any illegal activity where _I_ will be the one who pays the price. About the French person: you missed the link with the ETA. You know, the terrorists from Spain who have killed people.
Nice also to see that you make no difference between countries (neither did I) yet you say that for Iraqi and Afghans is somehow OK. So difference is OK for you.
And the racist part is pretty silly. I have not treated anybody different. I treat them all equally, including people I know personally. And as for helping free speech, I would love to, but I would have no idea whether I would be helping free speech or somebody imposing as a "free speecher" who tries to catch the ones who are actually doing the free speech. Am I paranoia? Not really. I don't believe they monitor everyting I do online. I KNOW they monitor everything I do online.
He admitted to be downloading it. This means he was also uploading it.
Either he uploaded it illegal and must pay 10 gazillion in fines, or he is not guilty and he was allowed to distribute it and this means everybody who connected with him did so with him agreeing.
Most likely he did not have the rights himself and he can be fined as much as he ownes and then some
I used rootshell.be in the past. I now can use xs4all.nl. These are obviously outside my country and do not include my own machines, nor my employers.
And although the technical solution might be easy, the way to get that is not as easy. Would you give a Chinese person ssh access to your machine? What about an Iraqi? Afghan? Somebody from the south of France with a nickname of ETA001?
You could be under closer investigation from your own government.
I am even hesitant to give people ssh access that I know personally, let alone somebody I never have seen or heard of.
The current versions of Parallels Desktop and Parallels Workstation run on 64-bit architecture computers if a 32-bit primary OS is installed on it, however, the current versions of Parallels Desktop and Parallels Workstation do not support 64-bit operating systems. We are working on adding the 64-bit OSes support in future versions of our products.
That is what I did many years ago already. Also it is perhaps not even me who puts my picture online. I filter out many of the pictures I have put online from others as they will be (not could be) taken out of context.
I work with a LOT of people whose personal and political opinions I do not share. Some of them I do not like as a person. That does not mean I do not value their work.
It is not so much opt-in, it is the control I have over them. If I type to retrieve 50 money units, I will see immediately if I get those 50 or not. I can also ask for a receipt that confirms that and later I can verify it on my bank account.
So the ATM is verifiable. Also the transaction is only between myself and the machine. Also I must not remain anonymous.
Compare that to a voting machine. I must remain anonymous. I have no way of verifying the outcome either directly or later.
The fact that both are often build by the same company or that both use a similar GUI or even hardware does not mean that they address the same problem or should offer the same solution.

One hundred and seventy-eight to respond at various times saying "Troll!!" "OMG WTF TROLL !!!!!!one LOL" "Don't Feed Da Troll!!1", etc...
AND
One group lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now and start it all over again
Also English is a second language for many, many people. I can use it to speak to a Chines, Brazilian and French person if they have it as a second or third language as well.
Not only that. They will not create any jobs. The job market is a fixed number at any point in time. Say there are 100.000.000 jobs. Because of this there will still be 100.000.000 jobs.
That is the same reason I hate things they do in Belgium to get older people to work, younger people, minorities and what not. If those get a job, the job will be taken away from somebody else.
Look on a smaller scale. A company needs 100 FTE. That is their need and they will not hire 101, nor will they hire 99. (If they say they need 100 and only have 90 working harder, then their need is 90, not 100)
Hello, I am a Microsoft Customer called Dell. I buy a lot of software and I would like to add Firefox. However if I want to do that, Microsoft changes their price.
They have been convicted of this.
Please remember that the end user is often NOT Microsofts customer.
yeah, because the last thing is to confuse people by choice. Can you imagine the confusion of the average person when he goes shopping. What will he buy? Pepsi or Coke? Or something else? We can not have people make those decisions.
A smart criminal will know that not only are they interested in what you say, but more often who you say it to. "Aunt Bertha is ill" could mean that I am worried about my aunt, or that the shipment of drugs and guns will be arriving 09:00 in wherever.
A semi-smart criminal will be using e.g./. to post messages and think there is no relation between the people. However the Man can gather the information to who connects and then with some time and exclusion determine who I would be speaking to.
So what you need is a way of communicating with each other where there is no direct link between sender and receiver. You could wait for Google to enter the message in their seach and use their cache to read it. Bit safer, but still not 100%.
An even smarter criminal would be using something where messages are exchanged between points where you have no control. During WWII (Not the game console) radio was used. Sending from the UK, receiving on the continent and no idea who the message was intended for.
Such a thing exists today and is called Usenet. You can use e.g. alt.test for plain messages. You can also pgp the message and then post it inside a porn image or music file to an appropriate group.
Darn I just provided a link between illegal music and terrorism. Sorry.
Now the real smart criminals won't be effected by this. They do everything by the law and when things do not go well, they get rewarded anyway.
I keep my nick and real live name as much separated as possible. So if you would look up my real name (which will be shown in the CV) you will find almost nothing about me. From my name and details, you might think I did the marathon in a certain time, yet that is a person with the same name who has a very similar background as I have.
Whenever I get a new boss or a new cow orker, I do a search and almost never find anything of interest if anything at all. Yet these people often do/did an excellent job.
To me it seems as if you are passing up on some people by not even giving them a chance. You rather go for people who have good social skills and not so much people who are good in the technical skills. If that is what you are looking for, great. If not, you have the risk of hiring a talker not a doer.

You use the word socialism as if it is a bad word.
Not any OS, from a OS that abuses its monopoly by forcing companies NOT to have a choice on what to put on their PC.
Not sure about Ubuntu, but openSUSE does. I have Konqueror and Firefox as default installed. I also install others myself with very little effort.
Also I do not think that Ubuntu has a monopoly, although many people seem to think that Ubuntu is the only Linux distribution.
