I suspect rather the opposite. People see OO for $50, and MSOffice for $300, and thing "Wow, what's this cheap knockoff? Only $50? I better avoid that, cheap knockoffs could have bad things. I better get the 'real' one, just to be safe."
Nah, bullshit to that. America got there a few times, then turned tail and gave up. If you can't get to the moon till 2020, what makes you think you have a chance in hell of getting to Mars?
Seriously. China's already got better technology, and India's not far behind.
What bullshit. "Responcible e-mail marketing"? If the person didn't ask you specifically to send them crap, then you are a spammer, and you are scum. Yes, you, personally, for participating in that trash.
If it wasn't asked for by the individual, then it's spam, plain and simple, no matter what. Even if you let them opt-out, if you're sending crap to my email I don't want, they you are a spammer, and you can fuck off and die for all I care.
"Shit, the people of our country might be able to share free and uncensored speech and information among themselves.
Wait, I know how to fix this! Headlines! "OMG Secret Pedophile and Terrorist Network" - anyone who wants to be anonymous on the internet/must/ be a pedohile or a terrorist. If you have no pedophilia or terrorism plots to hide, you have nothing to hide!"
... So you know what people say about geeks being arrogant?
That pose is a perfect example of this. The fact that you think if a person understands what a "sandbox mode" is means they aren't a real person, is just laughable.
Seriously. All it takes is one good add campaign and a catch slogan, and presto, user-education problem solved. Name 'sandbox mode something catchy and hip, associate the use of it with your brand, and presto, at once you both differentiate yourself from your competitors, and are able to make use of technology that 'the common people couldn't possibly understand'.
Slashdot Mirror
Lawsuit. They broke your property, and lied about breaking it.
And you think that's okay?
It's not, and they know it, and they know you won't likely do anything - which is why they get away with it.
They owe you a new laptop.
So, in all seriousness, now, aside from price (free, unless you count 'retraining) - what need for OpenOffice?
It's a real political party.
Will you delete a site that /does/ meet the guidelines, but you have a /personal/ grudge against?
That's whats going on here.
Bears don't do 'business' in the woods.
Bears do, however, shit in the woods.
Just, y'know, when people start cringing from /language/, then we truly are doomed.
Look. Slashdot, we need an intervention here.
If we're gonna have a damn 'Idle' topic to begin with, then crap like this should be /kept/ there, and not allowed to spew out onto the main page.
Alright?
Alright.

If Iraq bombed and invaded America, then Americans who fought back would be terrorists and insurgents.
Or be twice as godawful.
What utter bullshit.
No.
Or what, would you take pride in America limply following other nations achievements? Or do you want America to strive to be the best?
I know which one I'd perfer.
Heroine? Seriously? Extending copyright to 50 years past death? Giving major copyright holdiers just about everything they wanted?
She should be scorned as the woman who betrayed the American People for the sake of the greed of lazy corporations.
Everything is illegal. By your logic, you're fucked.
So, by 'hardcore', you're meaning fundamentally flawed and broken.
To which I'd agree.
Nah, bullshit to that. America got there a few times, then turned tail and gave up. If you can't get to the moon till 2020, what makes you think you have a chance in hell of getting to Mars?
Seriously. China's already got better technology, and India's not far behind.
So America has given up on the space race, huh?
I guess it's up to China and India now.

What? No, it's trivially easy to rule innocent men.
Lock them up, and remove them from the population.
Problem solved.
This has as much to do with child porn as WMD's had to do with the American invasion of Iraq.
I'd say that's a pretty damn accurate way to put it.
Well here's a blindingly obvious answer to your question: iTunes for ebooks.
There, rights problem solved.
Yeah, I know how this is gonna be received:
"Shit, the people of our country might be able to share free and uncensored speech and information among themselves.

Replace 'greed' with 'the opportunity to create new value', and your sentance makes sense.

The Might Be Giants, for the win.
Actually, you're completely, totally wrong.
String Theory has not, and so far can not, produce a single theory, that can be tested in any way.
That is, so far, all String 'Theory' is, is mathematical masturbation.
