I disagree that Linux is "too hard". In situations where the software is already set up, it's not hard at all. The kids aren't going to install software and manage user accounts on windows, and they aren't going to edit xorg.conf on linux.
Depends what you mean - MS Office and OpenOffice have some pretty advanced features like spreadsheet formulas, cross references, tracking revisions of documents, using special characters, breaks and nonbreaking spaces, and integrating with external data (eg mail merge). I don't think it's easy at all.
Finally, a link to the printable version. On the BBC: the ONE FREAKING PLACE which doesn't have all that stupid stuff in the first place. On the UK versions at least, there aren't even any ads to get rid of.
I mean... it's just a way to communicate more efficiently
That's right, they DO serve a purpose. Text is very easy to mis-read, especially if it contains sarcasm or jokes. Humans normally use facial expressions and tone of voice to convey this information, which isn't part of email or IM. Emoticons show this.
On the subject of Bible copyright, here in the UK, the KJV Bible is copyrighted to the Crown forever. However, that is the exception: your point is well made.
Scientology just follows in a long tradition: * Believe us or we'll set the spanish inquisition on you - Christianity * Believe us or when you die you'll be in perpetual torment - Islam * Believe us or we'll sue you to hell - Scientology
Citizendium relies on expert contributors, which means it doesn't need to validate its claims. Experts discuss and prescribe what is right.
Wikipedia encourages people to post their sources. To be a good or featured article this is required, and unsourced material can be deleted without question.
Perhaps... or perhaps you just haven't synergized your open source solutions into your web 2.0 desktop experience, to monetize your user generated content.
The key for this experiment is whether the output energy is greater than the input energy.
No it's not. This is an unexpected result, according to the standard models. The key to the experiment is improving those models, and hence our understanding of the world.
There are hundreds of user-generated video hosting sites. Just today I was making this list on Wikipedia. My own longer list lists about 150 sites with video (mainly user generated) but there are probably a whole heap of others I've missed! And yes, there are Japanese competitors already out there: mainly Tudou.com and Ameba.jp. This will be no easy ride for Sony.

Pfft. Everyone loves brainwashing. Or they will do.
Lesson: sputtering halfwitted rage is for Steve Balmer.
Fixed!
iSwamp? I was looking for something bigger, like iDaho
The largest part of the data laws is this:
1. Tell people what data you are collecting from them
2. Keep the data you collect safe
This allows you to "look after your privacy", as you suggest.

Sorry, but Big Iron-y is IBM...
So, is making jokes about rape on national radio "right"?
Nah, they're all just dupes of this...
Nitpicking, but that's not linear growth. Rather it is exponential growth.
That said, I would like articles to be more accessible.

I agree with this - there's a BIG difference between the government spying on you and a newspaper spying on you.
Government: spies based on your whole life. Consequences include arrest, etc.
Newspaper: spies based on what stories you read. Consequences include tailored adverts, etc.

You have that backwards.

This guy is a Windows fanboy - grudging respect is as good as we can hope for.

No, they missed Wikipe-tan, the anime girl who is the Wikipedia mascot.
A: When the court of law decided MS had.
Fixed that for you
Your suggestion is (paraphrasing):
PatentTroll: Give me $20m
Apple: Why?
PatentTroll: We'll sue MS with it
Apple: OK then.
Wait, does that sound like SCO?
