So people who are going into debt are 'bad guys'? I guess that means most of America. Oh wait, that's what they're going for. You're right of course - none of these laws are aimed at stopping terrorism. All they want is more control and power - and they get it, because people for the most part believe what they are told.
Also, never forget: good old cash is amazingly good at anonymizing you when you buy things in meatspace. I never buy something with a credit card or debit card if I have enough cash on me - and I almost always do. Unfortunately wearing a balaclava for the full anonymous effect is frowned upon in places of business:p
I'd be willing to wager that if someone was raised from a young age, having only Unix/Unix derivitave experience and knowledge, they would have some (albeit less) issues with Windows or OSX.
I was raised using Windows and I started having some issues with it within 5 years of first using it. If you know what I mean. It was something to do with the disgusting interface, memory waste, stupid filesystem(s), and the list goes on. By the time I switched to Linux I hated every minute of Windows use.
Everything has its annoying fanboys who don't help people and decide to just respond with "RTFM" or similar comment.
I get downtime than that (that being 3.65 days a year) on my BSD server, which I have to drive halfway accross the state twice a year. Learn to administer your stuff before talking.
Wow. USE MICROSOFT OR YOU MIGHT BE SUED THEREFORE MICROSOFT IS BETTER. This woman is as stupid as she is fat. Also, the annoying Microsoft video format is some sort of weird playlist thing. To watch the vid on linux:
Maybe that's the case if you don't care enough to run your own server. But at your own admission, most of your arguments are utter bollocks if you use the most recent version. Isn't the first thing OSS developers ask when you mention a problem "Are you running the most recent stable version?"
You can use old versions of software and they aren't good! Eating food that has been in my fridge for 3 years makes my tummy hurt! Walking in dark alleys in the Bronx got me mugged!
This leads us to the answer to another pressing problem in mathematics - Why Do We Care?
Really, what does this have to do with how we deal with reality? Will we be buying amazing products that are based on this? Breaking encryption? Making pigs fly?
Nice idea. However, why are you spelling Ubuntu with an o? It doesn't have one. Lately I've been seeing quite a few people spell it wrong in the same way - is there some language issue that explains it?
That's not the point - what he was saying is that no other free software project actually has a meetup where they code in a setting that is, frankly, what closed source companies use 100% of the time.
Considering that MS used the patent trouble they had with JPEG to justify needing a new format, I'd be inclined to agree with you. Too bad they'll force WMP into widespread use anyways...
Does this mean that if the place I fill up my car has one of those displays with stacks of root beer 12 packs at the gas pump I steal a 12 pack from the convenience store I'm not stealing cause I wouldn't have bought it anyways?
No. That's stealing - for the sole reason that the owner no longer has the product. Media piracy is copyright infringement, not stealing. Learn the difference - crimes have different names for a reason.
Not to mention the fact that the 'one true page' could be wrong. Or incomplete. I personally often read 3 or 4 of the results if I actually care about what I'm searching for.

I dunno about that, but here are some other choice videos of good ol' Bill.
Man, I hate Linux fanboys too. Oh wait...
So why do we pass it if it can't be enforced fully? Think about it, the answer is always money or despotism.
read more on my blog.
They don't know that until it's too late.
Mwahahahahahaha.
Because this isn't for Linux users. This is to convince Windows users to use Linux.
But you already knew that.
It's that thing that won't exist for much longer now that all your rights on it are gone.

I see a bit more than a bandaid in the directions.

Come on now, we all know he's talking about GNU/Linux.
This was covered YESTERDAY. The editors seriously have no idea what they are doing.
Also: yay UK parliament for caring.

Does anyone know where to find the text of the bill? I haven't been able to find it with THOMAS.
I'm not saying it doesn't matter, I'm asking what made it front page news.

No way. Have you seen the artificial shit they feed those humans?

I'm with you. I don't like paying for ANYTHING.

You can't now. The big corporations can counter-attack with their patent aresenal and flatten you.
