As mentioned above, if I have preferences to deal with an Australian company (for you USians, obviously a US company) due to patriotism, ability to go to their place of business and confront them, etc) then seeing a.com.au domain is re-assuring.
You have an extra ) in your post, and it was making no sense to me until I realized it was there.
Now the question is, were you racing, or are you really telling the truth? Or even more likely, you're a cop whos undercover and you're scanning slashdot for people who say things that are un-american.
Stupid cops trying to trick us! Tell him nothing!
oh and for anyone who doesnt find that funny, I've got only one thing to say to you ..|. O.|..
Now if you hadn't stole that joke from Sabrina Mathews, it would have been much funnier. You've just tried to say it in a way that makes you sound smarter than you actually are.
"Isn't it ironic? no Alanis its unfortunate. You have listed shit for three and a half minutes, and everything you mentioned is unfortunate. Now that you have a billion dollars perhaps you'd like to buy yourself a dictionary. Because irony is not a black fly in your chardonay. Irony is a scottsman cloning a sheep. Irony is renaming the national airport after the president that fired all of the air traffic controllers."
Ok, you're all giving slashdot readers a bad name, you trekkies. Its fine to think that kind of crap, but saying it is why you don't get laid guys.... Women however, can say that kind of crap, and make the nerds drool over them...
I walk down the toy isles (I'm 21) looking for the huge bucket of legos, and all I find are these stupid sets that have maybe 80 pieces to them, and most of those are special shaped pieces. Where'd my squares and rectangles go? I remember, I used to keep myself amused for hours with legos... infact, I think I'll go find my legos! -Ardin
actually, its not baseless. American schools are horrible when it comes to teaching anything other than how to make babies and how girls can dress like whores.. I'm american and even I think that.
I feel the urge to point out a flaw in your argument.
If they wanted to switch to Linux, they could easily take their files along, and their office XP (or whatever office product) keys along and use them via Wine. There are many tutorials on how to get Office working on Linux, and I know it works. And if they set up Wine on one system, they can easily copy the configuration over to another system (in a corporate environment). Also, lets not forget about StarOffice.. they actually render.doc files much better.
excuse me, but i really doubt that Bill Gates would have TOLD us what the hell its doing. Also, he would have charged us for the 'privlidge' of sifting thru our data for warez/mp3s and then suing us for legal mp3s, or for legal copies of software we've made. theres quite a difference

You know, I know its flamebait, but I think I need to point out that harming microsoft does not equal harming the USA, nor its economy.

Oh My God, Don't get me started on the legos.

Moot, you tool.
Not to mention that without China, and the great wall, the Mongolians would be running freely across the planet!
