Usually those closed source free software are done by 1 person, so there is consistency in the coding. Open source software is like a software development project without a project manager and every team member can do whatever he/she wants.
Why don't you just buy it? God forbid people invest in something in hope of it gaining value. These people invested tens of thousands of dollars in their business, god forbid they make any money to "fund their future squatting". You probably don't mind paying for everything else you want, why not pay for the domain name you want?
Exactly my problem with chrome too, why can't chrome have their own options like firefox does? Firefox is still the only choice for me. Opera doesn't even support socks proxy.
Last time I checked, Joe doesn't want to install a f*cking OS + necessary drivers on a PC he bought from BestBuy.
Also try to explain to him when ALL the software he bought in BestBuy isn't going to work on his new machine. Plus his new laser printer doesn't have a driver for his Ubuntu OS.
If you have 4GB RAM, being able to address more than 3GB RAM is completely useless to you. Because Windows Vista 64bit run a 32bit virtual machine that uses 1GB of RAM, so you could still run your 32bit programs on a 64bit OS. Basically you are still only able to use 3GB of your RAM. Though if you upgrade to 6GB of RAM, then 64bit will be useful.
What did you expect? Windows 7 share the exact same code base as Vista, this is why most Vista drivers work on Windows 7 out of the box. The Win7 beta positive reviews were a mix of MSFT paid PR and "mojave" effect at work.
To put it into perspective, gold cost $34/ounce in 1971. So this guys can buy about 1 ounce of gold for every 6 hour he worked.
Gold today cost almost exact $900/ounce. So you'll need to be paid about $150/hour to buy the same amount of gold with 6 hours of work.
For almost 10 years, I never turn off my computer and I never had a hard drive fail on me. About 6 month ago, I started believing these energy saving crap and turned off my computer every night, now I have a dead hard drive. It died during a boot up.
There are two different types of retailers, the online retailers (amazon, newegg etc..) and the physical store retailers (bestbuy, walmart etc..).
The physical store retailers gets hit with sales tax regardless if they sell the item online or in store, because they have physical presence in all states, they have to collect sales tax on all sales. They absolutely hate the online retailers because they cannot compete with them if everything they sell have a 6-9% markup due to sales tax.
I think all states should just do away with stupid sales tax, there are several states that doesn't have a state sales tax and they did just fine. The government will always spend as much as you give them, if you don't give them too much, then they won't spend so much.

The user can obtain IE from windows update and then use it to download firefox.

betamax failed because it couldn't fit a full length film on one tape. Wii is the better product due to the revolutionary gaming experience.

Does it support SOCKS proxy yet?

Or you could just buy from vendors such as cyberpowerpc.com, they offer an option to sell you a PC with a formatted completely empty hard drive.
Does the PC actually explode? or just the OS is corrupted beyond repair

Um, I can assure you, DRM had very little to no effect on the performance of the OS

If you need a software program to do taxes, it's too complicated.
An agreement is from 2 parties. You being willing to pay $1 is irrelevant unless someone else is willing to sell you the item for $1

There is a setting to disable it
Average people do not want more security if that means sacrificing usability. The first thing I do when using a new Vista machine is disable UAC.
LOL, if you work in security, then you should know nothing is 100% secure. 99% is damn good
Fourth anonymous idiot you mean
Then don't, enjoy your crappy linux desktop and software.
What if the virus killed your files on D drive? You should always keep a copy externally, preferably at a remote location.

The Supreme Court is the constitution, since they have the power to interpret it in any way they wish.
The Congress ignores the constitution, they just create laws that bypass.

It's NY, what did you expect? They started this whole end tax-free internet thing by requiring amazon to collect sales tax on NY residents.
