Does Google Maps actually push adverts through the turn-by-turn navigation in the U.S. now, or did you just confuse Google with some movie you saw? So far, it seems Google's success as an advertising business comes from being less obnoxious than the others. Pushing somewhat relevant ads might contribute to that.

So, you run a computer museum?

No, he wasn't, and hiding one's action doesn't make a consensual sexual act into rape in Sweden. There's rape, våldtäkt, and there's 'sexuellt tvång', which is still more serious than what Assange has been accused of, but not rape.

He hasn't been accused of rape. He still might be a rapist, of course, but he's neither been accused nor charged with it. This has nothing to do with Lewinsky, AGW or uncomfortable facts.

Ubuntu 8.04 was a spoonerism for Hairy Hardon. Once someone pointed it out, it became practically impossible to remember the original.

Nonsense. You sacrifice quality by sacrificing the work of an editor. Writing isn't a one man job.

Ah, made-up stats. How convincing. You also conveniently left out the monetary investment involved in the actual publishing part. Publishing isn't free, not even for ebooks.

And yeah, you got me: I've never had a book published. However, I've contributedto a few, and have a better idea of the work involved than you do, as proven by your resorting to made-up stats.

Whatever. Most decent writers seem to prefer to go the route through the publisher instead of self-publishing, for reasons which seem obvious when you've actually published something. A publisher does a fair bit more than just marketing and pressing Ctrl-P.

It's harmful to pay for books?

Right. Since Mozilla design their browser with Windows 98 and ME in mind, and then drops support for them only at compile time. Windows hasn't been crash prone for more than 10 years.

Untrue. You can't bundle your own version of webkit, and you have to use iOS's own javascript interpreter as well.

Idiot.

They held their (sale) price, not their (use) value. People are willing to pay a high price for fake v1agra as well, even though the market is flooded with it and its utility is no more than for any other placebo. It's not so much that there is a short supply of placebo as that there is a huge supply of idiots.
