Why did you tell us your age in the post? Stating that you're 14 didn't serve any purpose other than not getting flamed by others because you're leaning towards supporting this act -- and getting modded as interesting. You're probably a 40 year old guy who...
You're "22" year old "friend" isn't the general case. He's the exception.
Microsoft enters a field when the field starts to develop. Sometimes it enters the same time as the other players, sometimes a bit earlier. During that time, *anyone* who enters that field will sell stuff for cheaper prices. Whether Microsoft enters or not other companies will enter and make stuff cheaper anyway. It's just that Microsoft always manages to enter at the exact time when it starts to get cheaper, kill everyone else and become a monopoly in that field, so it *looks* like Microsoft made it cheaper, while in reality Microsoft didn't do anything or it even made things costlier.
Actually, 'cheaper' isn't the right word. 'Lesser price' is more appropriate. Microsoft doesn't sell the same things as were available earlier at a cheaper price. It sells worse/inferior things at a lesser price (which is what the thing is worth), so, in effect, nothing is actually cheap. Oh, and BTW, we get inferior stuff and we get screwed.
Well, when you go to the page to pay, it says This is a DEMO Server. Your Credit Card WILL NOT be Billed. So its either just a site which is still being set up or a bigger fraud than parent post said.
The only way for spam to go is for the society and current business practices to change. Really, don't you see similarities between spam and today's businesses and marketing?
The study measured market share by embedding sensors on major web sites
Embedding sensors? You mean it checked the user agent. Probably logs (I don't run a webserver, so I dont know if all webservers log that). I knew media tended to sensationalize things but.... wow!

Is IRC All Bad?

its like judging the crime rate of the entire nation by taking the average of the largest several cities.
More like, judging the crime rate of an entire nation by taking the average of the largest several Mafias. It's surprising that 100 % was not illegal. So, even in warez channels. 0.1 % of the traffic is legal! BTW, the number of users is not the only factor in determining the biggest IRC channel. [Please note that I'm not comparing IRC to mafia]
Use safe search. Works most of the time. And if they are going to start something like this, they'll certainly give you an option to disable images in ordinary searches. Stop complaining.
How much do you want to bet that parent was modded as troll because of his sig, rather than the post? And how much do you want to bet that a similar moderator is going to mod this post down as offtopic?
Why doesn't the same logic apply to breaking into someone's copy-protected CD?
Because it's not someone *else*'s CD. It's yours. You bought it. You paid for it. Sure, you don't "own" like you own the house you live in, but it's not someone else's like the analogy you gave about someone else's computer. That's why the same logic doesn't apply. Now close your copy of "How to twist the English language to propogate your propaganda for dummies". It's obviously not helping.
No, your logic is flawed. The patches aren't uniformly applied to all parts. Some parts get patched repetitively while others dont get patched at all. And it is a fact that there are things from many years ago in Linux.
Or maybe, this is all a plot by a superior alien race to take over our world. In terms of proven facts backing up our claims, my claim has as much credibility as yours.
You're no expert on this. If you were, you wouldn't be on slashdot. So don't speak like one. How many results of "peer-reviewed, repeatable research"es have you read to say that one doesn't exist supporting gender differences.
STFU. WTF do you know?? It pisses me off when idiots on slahdot act like enlightened intellectuals who are experts at the subject at hand and counter the words of true experts and sometines even proven facts. The book's author is a professor on the concerned subject at Cambridge Fucking University and you're just a slashdot reader. This reminds me of the article about anit-elitism on Wikipedia. I suppose this is why slashdot/wikipedia are bad places for intelligent discussions.

Of course they acted like they were happy with Saddam Hussein's removal in front of you -- you had a freakin gun in your hand.
And do you think they welcomed their old, human overlords? Or their guns? Or bullets? Do you think they aren't already pissed?

Woah, I read the title and actually thought that someone put together a cooking 'machine' driven by Linux and thought to myself "omfg, w00t!!".
Correction: You are teh suck.
You obviously haven't been to Freenode.

No, you should do more research. Apple are also suing ThinkSecret to, in effect, stop posting news articles.

This looks better than most Linux desktops.
OK, I wasn't saying old == bad. I was only saying grandparent's logic was flawed.
