it is offensive that Linux users have to be subjected to Google ads that promote MicroSoft
for days the google adverts have been advertising this
Linux News
Why is Microsoft cheaper than Linux?
Get the facts now!
that ad leads everyone directly to MS propaganda site.
:shock:
Off to using Peanut and Slackware, no hard feelings but I need my CD to burn, PDA and scanner to connect and arch won't do it.

well you don't have to click it!
do don't even have to bother, but I guess that'll never happen when "the root of all evil" is advertised on this site.

Click it! Google ads pay Arch + MS pays google = MS pays Arch.

If you use Firefox, see:

Do that and you won't see the ads.

It's offensive that people find a competing products offensive. I've started a list of things that I find offensive. I find stupid people offensive, we should get rid of those. I find snow offensive, quit it. But especially, I find cheese offensive.
I mean, come on, they're a software company like any other. You may not agree with them, but they're allowed to advertise wherever they want to.
There was a large arguement in Linux Journal about Microsoft ads there. I'm pretyt sure they kept them too.

I find avatars of people's butts offensive. 8)
Honestly, it makes arch some cash to run the servers. I have no problem with it, and I even welcome it!

Well, I'm glad that I can offend someone then.

Snow isn't so bad as Coastal dwellers like yourself complaining about it... how long since you saw any snow, couple months? Still feet of it lying around here, thanks.
I agree with you about stupid people. I'm thinking about some sort of unintellectuocide, anybody interested?

Pffff, everybody wants to go to the party but nobody wants to pay the bills. Arch is used by thousands of people afaik, but as I see in the donations page, only 36 have contributed to keep the servers up, me being one of them. Because Linux is not free as in freedom for you, but free as free beer, quoting R. Stallman. If you can't take some advertising that's making possible for you to enjoy this distro, maybe someday you're gonna find you've lost something very valuable forever.
And for the developers, it's not always good to be the good boys. Some ads won't hurt.
