Bring on the "You're an idiot, and the world is really like [describe some screwed up theory that could never happen, or argue with something I didn't say]" flames.
OK, you asked for it.:-)

You're an idiot, and the world is really like an incredibly bad gumbo with lots of overcooked okra.
BTW, I can't believe that you think that Britney Spears should appear in the next Star Wars movie, ya moron!
You could say go to google. google Click Fraud and click "Click Defense"'s add on the right hand side 10-20 times just for added good mesure:p
On a completely and totally unrelated note (yea, right) I coded up a quick frameset html file (strictly for informational and educational puropses, understand) that automatically reloads a url (like, say Click Defense's Yahoo ad) every ten seconds. It's available on my website, right down at the bottom of the page. Click on the "click_defense.zip" link to download it.
Nah, just more proof that Linux is a religion all its own.
Linux, Windows, money, power, environmentalism, political idealism, you name it. With enough fanaticism or unreasoning belief anything can be made into a religion.
The reason that XP N is a bust is that no-one wants an operating system that they percieve as being crippled. Heck, I'd prefer the original XP to XP N, and I'm no fan of Microsoft. Non-XP operating systems, no matter how awe-inspiringly fantastic they may be, don't even enter into the picture.
If being exciting involves incoherent rants using poor grammar and spelling rather than literate, informative posts, then I'd rather be "booring", thank you very much.

Yes, you're correct. "Linux" proper is just the kernel, not the operating system that's built on the kernel. Although most people just call the entire operating system "Linux", GNU zealots and other pedantic persons insist that its proper name is "GNU/Linux".:-)
Google will take the Linux kernel and genetically engineer it into a microwave-poppable linux kernel.
Nope. Linux is not a company (such as Microsoft) or a corporate asset (such as MS Windows). It's not even really a single operating system. Instead, Linux is a class of similar, compatable, interoperable operating systems (commonly known as "distributions") that use common components and are put out by a number of different organizations. There are literally dozens of different Linux distributions (i.e. operating systems).
Google trying to acquire Linux would be like the Sony corporation trying to acquire "car". It ain't gonna happen. But, just as Sony could build and sell cars, Google could create their own Linux distribution.

There. How was that? :-)

I agree. The entire Microsoft corporation is a poster child for open source.
IMHO, of course. :-)
