Okay stop reading. Your response smells of fanboyism, blind faith, and ad-hominem attacks which are rather childish in themselves. I got my point across and it seems the vast readership is behind me.

Hatred for Microsoft? I have none. I do hate the fact that we have an absolutely free operating system that works just fine but thanks to Bill Gates 90s shenanigans and aggressive and illegal market and business tactics we're stuck wit

Yes if you actually write software for desktop Linux you know that it's not that much of a problem to actually do it if you want to. There is enough free software available, you know often written by individuals without multi-million d

Basically M$ adoption of this strategy is the death knell for any semblance of privacy on the PC. It's amazing how far we have come to accepting such draconian measures in order to further marketing. There is still time people, come on

There is wanting taxes, and then there is wanting taxes. One is the tax rate, and other is how much business is done. The logic goes that if the government generates more jobs through lower business tax then they can get more revenue from t

Amazon needs to unionize, it's obvious that Bezos and his management don't respect his workers. This sort of company deserves a union. And I think both white collar and blue collar workers there would support such a union.

Winners do drugs just like losers do drugs. Winners usually have a lot of money and come from affluence so they don't usually get in trouble for their drug use while losers do. A certain portion of the population does drugs, it cuts so

Solution, don't think about working for Amazon or any such company. Warn your family and friends and co-workers. Company will get the message and change its policies hopefully after losing a few billion. Alternatively unionize Amazon.

Google's model of how it wants computing to work is fundamentally flawed and now it's infected Microsoft. Really the only shelter is Linux, when will the ignorant masses wake up and realize this?

What this is actually showing is that wages continued to increase and the discretionary income that people had went back in the economy and the people found things to do that they could charge money for. So yes as long as there is money, pe
