OOOH! So it was Microsoft that attempted to install Safari on my computer just to incite a flame war! Gee, don't I feel trolled.
Funny how Slashdot reports bad news about any software vendor other than MS, Slashdotters complain. I guess since Fox News defined the standards for "fair and balanced" journalism, people have forgotten what "fair" and "balanced" mean.
Agreed. I only installed iTunes for my friends, so when they come over, they can browse my music with an interface they're familiar with. Personally, I prefer the file manager for selecting tunes. And when I click on an MP3 in Firefox, I prefer it to be downloaded, not played with the Quicktime plugin. I would have uninstall the plugin, but had no used for QT so I uninstalled the whole deal. Lo and behold, the next time I run iTunes it informs me that it needs QT to continue. Funny how the only media software on my computer that can't play Apple's proprietary formats without Quicktime is Apple's own big, fat proprietary jukebox.
Rule Number 0.9999999... of geek humor. Be real! Rule Number 1 of geek humor. Same as Rule Number 0.9999999...
Rule Number [root -1] of geek humor. Be imaginative.
Rule Number 1/0. OH SHI--
You can't steal something that's being given away. And your complaint is equivalent to walking into a restaurant, ordering a meal, then complaining that they didn't immediately bring you the uncooked ingredients.
For those of you who don't know what the Turing Test is (how did you manage to find Slashdot?) Indeed, I had a hell of a time finding Slashdot before learning what the Turing Test is.
"Windowlicker" never sounds weird, unless by weird you mean awesome! It does indeed have a hidden spiral image, but the sound it's represented by only enters at the end when the track is over. The weird track that you're thinking of with the face image is the second one on the single. That one is not so much a song as a series of images respected by sound.
Rock n' roll was corporate long before Elvis ever shook his hips on The Ed Sullivan Show. Don't get it twisted.
As far as video games being responsible for shit music, I suspect Jack Thompson is responsible for this article.
According to that Wikipedia article, he previously predicted that a $1000 computer would be 1000 times more powerful than the human brain by 2029. Now he's simple stating there will exist a computer of human level by 2029. Hopefully by 2029 there will exist a computer powerful enough to correct these phony calculations.
I don't see how this inquire implied that the poster didn't know or understand the FSF's view on selling FOSS. S/he didn't ask whether it was "okay," s/he asked how it could be done.

/. was planning on running that story tomorrow. You spoiled the surprise!

That works on the bus too. The person on the other end doesn't know any better.
Wait a second... somebody at Microsoft can code?

According to Wikipedia, nobody cares. Not even the inclusionists, which according to Google, is a valid word only according to Wikipedia.
-1, trivial.
I'm thirsty. Can I have some of your drinking water? I don't mind the drugs.

This is where a "RTFA" would normally be appropriate, but in this case, the second sentence of the summary should suffice.
John Locke was a great philosopher, but let's leave technology to our contemporaries, shall we?
Oh, I believe you. I too have had to remove my passenger seat and hose down the floor board. Mainly because they were soaked in my ex-wife's blood...
Since then I always keep tampons in the glove compartment.
What do you mean finally? I've been putting down Netscape for years.

All it needs is a Flowmaster.
It's not so much a sales pitch as it is the one and only test that PC World chose to inadequately perform in TFA.
Well in the US you hear plenty from the Republican and Democratic parties, and they're usually out golfing.

That thing is so cool. It looks like a cybernetic possum.
