What if someone were to create, say, an opensource virus that automatically installed Firefox, Thunderbird, etc. onto Windows and constantly asks...
"Do you want to switch to Linux? Yes, Yes, Cancel"
The RIAA needs it to combat filesharing! Filesharing is the death of the music industry! Didnt you know that when you download a song, you hurt the industry? We should be sending them back!
More observant gamers will note that Nintendo has already tried online since the Famicom (term for Japanese ver. of NES) even before the Internet was in common use!
Not only that, I'm gonna quote some stats:
In Japan, the sales for Final Fantasy XI (online MMORPG) were around 100,000 aka dismal. In Japan. Final Fantasy games have a near-cult following in japan. Nintendo knows Online Play tanks. If you have to pay for online, it's not gonna be popular.
And, if XBOX LIVE (EVIL XOBX in reverse) is the only reason XBOX sold a single console, then I guess that the year before XBOX LIVE came out that no one even touched the things. I bought the XBOX since it looked good at the time (although I wanna gamecube now) and played DVDs too.
People... I hate Microsoft as much as the next hacker, but some of you dont read the crudding article. This is actual open source. Seriously, if Microsoft's intentions are good, I'm willing to forgive them for their crappy (OS|Browser|Corporate Practices|Internal Security|etc.)
What were doing in distributed comp is just as important as what she's doing in psycology.
And, to give her a hassle, say this:
"How can you study psycology when there are misfolded proteins to study?":P

Bah... We already have AM, FM, TV, and all other sorts of signals going through us... we arent seeing any adverse side-effects, are we?
I want a mesh net!

That doesnt mean we should be a colony to France or anything. We've helped the whole of Europe too (WWII) as well.

it's summer vacation. love the wonderful "defender of the rights" FCC, and then when the next slashdot story comes up, hate the evil censoring FCC.

Seriously, at the way this is going, Microsoft may end up being the biggest GPL'd opensource company.

Yeah, however you could help disprove aliens and put a stop to all this alien nonsense.
Either that, or it heavily depends on myostatin to remain at the same growth rate.
