When I was a kid, my parents limited us to 1 hr a day. As a result, me and my brother could completely erase any record of a (windows) computer being used in about 30 seconds and learned all where to plug in cables and such to get past the router at the age of 8. So yeah, I suppose limiting my computer time did help me out..
With commercial software, if you want support, you can get it directly from the company that makes the software. If you want Linux support, you get a company that takes a product made by someone else and only slightly changed by the company to give you support. It's not quite the same.
You know.. I really wish they'd just leave the logo alone. Why is it that every distro feels the need to rename programs, give them different icons and install them in the most annoying way possible?

The tsunamis were on the front page of newspapers for DAYS. 9-11 has been in the front page of newspapers off and on for years.

And of course, you could just make your own mailbox. They're not that complicated..
Can we say "even more pirated than Windows XP"?

Yeah, but watching football isn't considered "forward thinking".
Probably about the same as the first comment in a post about microsoft being "Man I love that company!"
From their perspective, there's no reason not to. 1. Set up website selling 5 Mb files for a dollar 2. ??? 3. Profit!
I agree, it wouldn't be nearly as funny if it wasn't true..
