He knows that. When he says there's a "comparable difference" (you know, comparable to the difference described in the article), he doesn't mean the prices charged in the two continents are the same.
Why is it ridiculous? What possible harm could a half glass of cider or whatever given to a child by a parent under supervision cause? If more parents gave their children small amounts of alcohol as they grow up (e.g. at the dinner table) then young adults would be more responsible towards alcohol as in countries such as France. By "more responsible" I mean less likely to go out 'on the town' and far surpass their limits.
How do you "know what you're looking for" without searching the web exactly?
It's worth noting that Microsoft would love nothing more than to bundle as many free utilities as they could, but their hands are tied thanks to those who whined to the DOJ.
It only maximises revenue if customers what to pay per gigabyte, and history has shown that they do not (that cost model came before flat-rate pricing).
I don't know if you misread or you were saying it would be easy for the layman to be confused, but that download is a document ("overview") and really is 97 KB. At no point would a layman be interested in reading that document or even that page.
I do however completely agree with the rest of your post and I'm perfectly happy with my ISP's (Virgin Media) policy of throttling your download speed (in my case, to a respectable 5 Mbps from 20 Mbps) after excessive use.
Of course, throttling one popular site unless they pay up is completely unacceptable.
Ummmm.. no. Windows Service Packs are comparable to point (e.g. 10.1 as opposed to 10.0) releases of OS X.
Microsoft patches are almost always* accompanied with installation instructions, affection products and possible caveats. At no point do they market bug fixes. Service Packs are made up of hundreds of patches - not one.
*Slashdot has in the past been very keen to point out Microsoft patches ushered in without notifying users.
Sorry, maybe I wasn't clear. If you buy one of these phones knowing that AT&T/O2 have paid Apple so that you can purchase it for less with the stipulation you pay them back, and you take off with the phone and use T-Mobile, that's wrong.
Paying the contract cancellation is what absolves you from any ethical (and since you signed it, probably legal) wrongdoing.;)
Your mother didn't teach you that two wrongs don't make a right? "He can do it so I shall too!" Grow up.
If people like you (and me, but I couldn't give two hoots), didn't purchase stuff made in third world countries under terrible conditions, it just wouldn't happen. We are the ones who demand unrealistic prices. Talk about misappropriation of blame.
If HitlerFS provided any benefits over what I'm currently using, I'd gladly use it. Heck, you could call it EveryoneWhoUsesThisFileSystemIsAnIdiot and the same applies - the only objection I would have would be with its length. The general public may think the name of a particular product is important, but I do not.
The people who can read? It's actually worse than I claimed; you can't search within your history if you sort by date either.

If you're still missing the point, what if I read a different "TEDDYBEAR THREAD" every day for the last year? I'm only interested in the one I saw yesterday. I can sort by date and site, but if I visited a hundred other pages from that forum yesterday, I have to sift through each one until I find it.

What are you talking about?
Their claim that the ability to rearrange the icons doubles your "fun" and productivity did make me chuckle.
Either you or Wikipedia is completely wrong. In fact, Wikipedia is definitely wrong since it contradicts itself.
He knows that. When he says there's a "comparable difference" (you know, comparable to the difference described in the article), he doesn't mean the prices charged in the two continents are the same.
You seem to be in favour of ISPs respecting their customer's privacy but then went on to mock an anonymous coward for opting to remain anonymous.
That doesn't make much sense to me.
Yes, you are wrong. Rogers Cable throttles encrypted traffic, but doesn't block it.
Wikipedia (or more accurately, its sources) contradict that.
What makes you think the UK/US is any different?

The title you chose is rather amusing because it succinctly describes my thoughts immediately after I read your original post.

Let me make sure I have this right.. A respectable news outlet conducts an interview with Bill Gates, asks him if it's genuine, and he explains that it's his job to make criticism of this nature. So, are we supposed to believe you - irrespective of your "100%" certainty that's based on nothing but speculation - or Bill Gates himself?
Serving images alone is very different from accepting 100 million uploads weekly.
Also, they were unable to withstand you linking to them.

Get a grip.
I did just that, and it turns out that you're full of shit.
There wasn't one. Some idiot at EETimes pulled it out of his ass and Slashdot was more than happy to help propagate anti-Microsoft falsehoods.

I do realise that and the point of my post was that I don't object to buying those goods. Address your concern to the GP.

Great Britain was the island you were looking for. 'Great Britain' and 'United Kingdom' are also not interchangeable.
And if you knowingly accept the subsidy from AT&T/O2, you can't ethically use another provider.

The current Slashdot Poll is about utensils. The Article Poll seems more relevant.
