If that's true they might as well put a Linux distro on it!

Very poetic.

There's always this instead:

Stupid name, but fewer stupid stories, so...

He made bad choices, and then reacted extremely badly to the rather predictable consequences. I'm not sure he's much of a poster boy for anything much. It's sad, but I'm not sure what exactly we're supposed to be celebrating here.

I love how overblown the coverage of this has been..as if it's driven people to suicide. It's their site, they can do what they want; people are free to leave if they want. Nothing to see here.

Just signing the acetate with a pen (normal, cd-writing pen etc). Hold the sheet over the book and take the picture.

Pop in the bookshop and take a photo. Sign it digitally at home (superimpose a signature on a white -> transparent background). Or sign an acetate and hold it over the book in the bookshop.

Well, they'll start on about alcohol like they do with smoking. Plain packaging, not having people drink on tv, ban on commercials etc etc.

Not really. Whether you're paying for a service or not, people still have your data. Don't forget - any time your data, music, emails, messages etc pass through or is stored in a server/network in the US, you have to assume that the US government has access to it.

Why do people keep saying that? Nobody cares! It makes no difference to anything at any level. "Normal company"? They're all normal companies - they exist to make money. Which company isn't normal? You probably meant "companies you spent money with"; this is clearer; additionally it highlights the emptiness of your "point". People have been "the product" for years; whenever you turn on the radio, tv, pick up a newspaper, look at an advert or a logo on a branded item.

Because of the trillions of dollars of funding it's received over the years.

If you want to make sure he's dead, chuck him out of the nearest airlock!

Shame - you missed a good one. Although there was more variety in 1942 and Vietnam.

Intensive purposes?
