Even current webservers do. We Slashdot people already knew it. In fact, we have been actively trying to demonstrate it, through a particular scientific method we like to call slashdotting.
Excuse me? What do you say, that was not the reason?
Running Windows is not prohibited by the BIOS. Instead, it is the lack of a BIOS which forbids Windows to run. Being this the case, a Linux that relies on a BIOS will not be luckier.
But (and it is a great 'but') Linux CAN be modified to run on something that's not a BIOS, whereas Windows cannot. In fact, Linux runs on OpenFirmware on, for example, PowerBooks.
In fact, Linux has been proven to run on almost anything, Mr. Coward.

Well, as their name subtlely denotes, backdoors are on the back, hence the difficulty to spot them if not proactively looked for.
That must be the raison d'etre for constructing them in the back.

I don't get it. What do cows have to do with rodents?
Well, I hope the collaboration does not imply NASA is going to land their ships with the aid of Google's close-range moon maps. Last I heard, they had some 'holes' in their technology.

Well, it seems that it will be just the same...
These congressmen who scorn censorship-laden governments are the same that had to be banned from Wikipedia for their censorship practices?
Perhaps you are talking about the Mayans.
The Aztecs did not disappear misteriously, but they were decimated by the conquerors voluntarily (through war) and involuntarily (through diseases).
So it seems.
It means 'of the day'.
What is exactly the part of 'Windows won't run without a BIOS' that is not clear?
Well, I think I can retire from this game.
Oh, and you can have the last word (post), if you feel the urge. No one will forbid you.
It's the past form of the verb, I guess:
To slashdot, slashdotted, slashdotted.
To digg, dugg, dugg (like 'to dig, dug, dug').
Quite correct to me.
I clearly said it is the lack of a BIOS which forbids Windows to run, and not, as you state, that 'Windows forbids itself to run'.
I could have used 'prevent' or 'impede', but the post is mine and I take literary licenses wherever I see fit.

Well, if I owned one (which I don't) and had a scratch in my screen, I know what I would be hitting with a stone now...
Wow... now that's a school permanency record :)
The difference in the amount of bugs might just be caused because Microsoft is somewhat more reluctant than MoFo to admit its own faults.
I am not trolling, I am just stating an option.

Pardon, sir. What is a GF?
