Taco decreed, "If it's not a dupe or a troll, it's rejected!" Counting his Roland Piquepaille and beatlesbeatles kickback from Google Adsense he continued, "Anyone who ever posted or modded up that Slashdot Troll Investigation or was ever critical of liberal philosophies is to be banned forever from moderation or story submission!

Microsoft isn't the only company being singled out, Coca Cola and Pepsi products won't be found due to their government's ban. Nearly 1.5 million students in the 2,650 government and government-aided high schools in the state will no longer use the Windows platform for computer education. Instead, they have switched over to the free GNU/Linux software.
