That analogy isn't fair. The BBC isn't hurting inexperienced users/listeners through bad product, and the BBC isn't forcing you to listen to its version, but simply gives you the option of listening to its music for free.
This is just like Opera complaining that Mozilla is giving away Firefox for free.
to paraphase; hope lies with the proles (peasants/working class/majority), but the proles are incapable of seeing any alternative to the current society because none exists that they can compare the current system to, therefore a revolt will never occur.
Wow that was relevent. If you look at my userpage, you would see that this is one of the first times I have shat on Microsoft for doing anything, and thats because this time they have deserved it. I personally don't mind microsoft, only their business practises.
You on the other hand seem to be the typical anti-microsoft-zealot zealot. You instantly jumped at the opportunity to release your rage at me, because no-one else will listen to your whingeing. Now I admit that I havn't bothered to look at your profile, but I think that you have taken your zealot-ism a bit too far. If you want to defend Microsoft this isn't the place.
BTW, Freelancer (by Microsoft) was a kick-ass game, and a great implementation of space orientated gameplay.
(i have no experience in the matter) you should place all the un-changing files on a hard-drive which will then sit in a draw and is only plugged in when required. I have been lead to believe that this will reduce the likelyhood of harddrive failure to close to 0. Then you can setup a RAID type setup for you changing files.
are going to make a killing of the IA when they have finished, it isn't like they haven't made enough money off others as it is, so they may let this one slide in the name of conserving data. On that note, is the IA downloading EVERYTHING or selectively downloading to prevent such issues as copyright infringment?
coundn't you all just start importing "players" from Asia that ignore the Broadcast Flag? or just simply start watching 2 minutes into the programme so that your reciever misses the Broadcast flag?
Orange was doing this (mobile & landline hybrids) in Australia years ago, that is until they stopped offering the service (I believe) because it had such little demand.
I personally think that many of these worms were made as an experiment then got out of hand. I heard a quote somewhere "Hack to learn, don't learn to hack" (probably off someone on/.). Imagine you create a virus, then put in a friends pc as a joke, but then it spreads although you thought your friend didn't connect to the net, he did this one time. There could also be a revenge element... "I'll teach those damn bullies to pick on me! *releases worm*"
would you use fat at all if running linux? arn't there better alternatives that you don't have to pay for? (i'm assuming there are licensing costs for use of fat in consumer products)

that this will make filtering porn easier. Only the websites that arn't too bad will use.xxx addresses. The really bad stuff that you want to shield kids from (i.e. beastiality) will continue to use.com addresses. So you will restrict the viewable porn to only the bad stuff.

Something for everybody!
SimpleKDE for minimalists (ie people with shit machines)
Plasma for everyone else!
Now we just need a similar one to gnome for power-users (because gnome typically looks shit).
Desktop Unity here we come!

Has Microsoft resorted to stealing other peoples ideas again?

how many laws would I break by downloading and installing it? (laws affecting Australia that is...)

unless there will be payouts from the record industry (well, either way this is true), it will only be promoting the mono-culture that is forming.

eg. "your mummas house has a .xxx address!"
or it will be so highly regulated that you need to use petrol to charge your car, and then the oil industry will hike up prices.
See why the EU is being so hard on Windows this time around?
