I was downloading Ubuntu's kurdish version (see Wikinews) to take screenshots when I read this item. And I started to think: I am downloading this file, and the data is basically going thru my brain. And according to this article, my brain picks up data as it goes thru my thin skull... So here's the question: Will Ubuntu run on my brain? And if it doesn't, is it because the data is corrupted while being picked up by my brain?
Another question is: what is the real reason behind banning wifi in schools? You don't ban technology because your child's skull is thin, do you?
When we entered the patent cooperation agreement with Microsoft, Novell did not agree or admit that Linux or any other Novell offering violates Microsoft patents.
So his company agreed to a deal with Microsoft in order not to be sued, but that's not an acknowledgment of patent infringements? You should be glad he's not a president or a foreign affairs minister of some nation...

Not to start a flamewar or anything, but I can't follow your logic here:
Linux costs less than Windows - Windows costs a negative amount => They then sell advertising space on the Windows desktop => This more than covers the cost of the OEM Windows license.
=>
A company could offer a cheap Windows and a more expensive Linux option
I would think that IF:
Linux costs less than Windows => sell advertising space on the Linux desktop => This more than covers the cost of the OEM Linux license ($0) => A company could offer a cheap Linux and a more expensive Windows option.
The reason Gateway, HP, Dell etc offer us cheap computers with Windows installed is because of bulk production. This is also why Linux computer producers can't offer us cheap computers: they cannot produce in bulk.
What am I missing here?

And since Microsoft still has the monopoly on the desktop, all the OEM's have to offer Windows. Even if they don't like the terms of the deal.
So you're telling me that if Gateway + HP + Dell decided to offer Linux only, they would go bankrupt because no one would buy anything from them? IMHO, just anyone of them selling only Linux (let alone offering a "cheaper Linux" and a "more expensive Windows" option) would increase their profit margins.

For upstream people:
reject their patches, regardless of the content.
Reject their feature requests.
Create new bug report state in trackers:

Do they run on Linux? If they do, are there problems loading the temperature sensor modules? Also, should we start preparing our own Noah's boats (which, conveniently enough, will be provided with full specs and run on Linux)?

Or may be when your university isn't hiding the fact that a computer at the campus is running Linux, fearing that that would scare off students...
Or, even better, when your graphics card manufacturer (let's say, for some unknown reason, ATI) tells you that they are not interested in providing Microsoft drivers...
Or when there is no such thing as a winmodem... etc.
A number of reports indicate that Mozilla is making significant amounts of money out of Firefox thru Google clicks. Do you have plans to give back to the community, be it in the form of donations to other open source projects or in any other form?
Firefox seems to work faster and more stable on Windows and slower and more buggy on Linux. This has been increasingly so especially after it has become more and more popular. And the situation did not change with the release of 2.0...
Why do you think this is happening? Do you lack developers who use / know / deal with Linux; is it because something is wrong with Linux; or is it because there are more people out there using Windows?
(an alledged keystone of American Capitalism; the type of Capitalism we want to seed in the developing world.)
if you get that type of capitalism in developing countries, your developed countries will go bankrupt... You need developing countries to export everything they have to developed countries instead of consuming it themselves.
Mozilla Firefox 1.5.0.4, Mozilla Suite 1.7.13, Mozilla SeaMonkey 1.0.2, and Netscape 8.1 and earlier allows user-assisted remote attackers to read arbitrary files by tricking a user into typing the characters of the target filename in a text box and using the OnKeyDown, OnKeyPress, and OnKeyUp Javascript keystroke events to change the focus and cause those characters to be inserted into a file upload input control, which can then upload the file when the user submits the form.

Ubuntu isn't much different either: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/grub- installer/+bug/47229
its grub doesn't like other distros either.
