This one, for one. I'm 18, and don't drink, nor plan to (if you need a drug to have a good time, I think you need to seriously reexamine your life), and my iPod is plenty full of music I got from p2p. I don't know if that proves your point or disproves it, as I can't quite tell the tone, but still.
That won't change, however, because most of the distros don't want there to be a grand unified linux distro. Most linux distros were started because of unhappiness within another distro, so obviously the people starting distros didn't mind splintering off then, why would they suddenly want to be one big distro now? Whether you agree with it or not, one of the linux community's biggest guiding principles is choice.
I didn't say I'm a retard who watches Fox News, just that I can think of a lot of people who I'd rather listen to. As a matter of fact, I place Rolling Stone and Fox News on about the same level as far as how much I care about what they think. I prefer BBC over either of them.
Except that "embrace and extend" (i.e., breaking) refers to standards, while what Google is embracing and extending (i.e., improving upon) is just various webapps such as e-mail, search engines, etc...
I did, as have several of my friends. One of them can't get it to give him a proper screen resolution (I would guess this is something that just be fixed in his xorg.conf file, but I haven't had time to look yet). Another friend bought an external, USB hard-drive that Fedora Core 4 wouldn't even recognise without booting into 'linux-expert' (an undocumented feature). Ubuntu, on the other hand, did recognise it, however, upon boot, all it did was kernel panic. He finally settled on gentoo (which installed perfectly, I might add). For all the hype about Ubuntu, I sure haven't seen anything that makes me believe it.
I have had nothing but problems with udev. When I tried to use it, it fails, and now on my friend's laptop, everytime he boots, he gets a message saying "/dev/sda2" is not a valid root device, and has to enter a shell. After typing in udevstart, exiting, and typing/dev/sda2, it will then boot. Sorry, but replacing something that works (nevermind it's deprecated) with something that doesn't? That just makes no sense.

No. Especially considering the fact that the article doesn't point out that most of these zombie hosts are caused by vulnerabilites in the design of Windows. People are going to know that, because they think the great OS of the American people is just "dandy!"
Furthermore, most people are going to read this and be like "Poor Joe User! All he did was try to download some J-Lo pictures!", while people who already know what they're doing (read: people already knowledgeable about the alternatives) know the PEBKAC.
Like I said, no.
What about in NYC? Where the Star and Crescent, the Menorrah (sorry if I butchered that word), et cetera were allowed to be shown, but NOT anything related to Christianity? I believe the ACLU was involved in that, no?

A mountain, trees and a midget. Dwarves were created by Aulë the Smith.
That means it should read/write hard disks, too, no?
In Soviet Russia, In Soviet Russia jokes are.... oh, nevermind.
Free as in speech? Or free as in beer? Hopefully, it's only the latter. I'd hate to have to start saying GNU/AOL all the time.

Slightly OT, but the Sega Saturn still remains my favorite console to this day.
No, education is bad everywhere in the US. North, South, West, East, wherever.

I didn't click on the first link, and I'm not going to. Because out of all people, why should I care what a writer for Rolling Stone thinks?
So the Ninja can take it off your body and sell it for Saki?
Wow. Shotguns must be very expensive in Japan if the ninja is going to buy a small peninsula with the money from it.
(definition of "saki": (n) small peninsula from WWWJDIC)
Easy to Intelligently Design? ;)

No, "idiot", he said it wasn't an apples to apples comparison. Try again, Capt Pedant.
Obviously, if he thinks that they would lie, he must be a dirty pirate and a terr'ist.
If you haven't used Windows since 1999, how do you know Windows XP isn't good? Furthermore, if you aren't a Windows user, why would you even care?
Which is exactly, as I understand it, what the Leappad books are.

Oh man... The Pillows are hazardous to my health? Well, no more Ride on Shooting Star or Skeleton Liar for me, I guess...

You know, they figured out what part of the brain detects sarcasm, and soon, maybe they'll be able to fix yours!
