Description
Ban those corporate asshats from Microsoft and Apple from visiting Brainstorm.
They are uncreative and come here to take our ideas.

Like in Vista, they were like: "Thanks to the ground-breaking and security revolutionizing work of Microsoft Research, we are proud to present to you User Account Control (UAC)!". They even patented it.
I am like what? We've had sudo for 28 years!

Then they're like "We offer you Microsoft Research latest innovation the Windows PowerShell, a scriptable command-line shell!"
And I am like, yeah we've had that too. We've had bourne shell since 1977!

Then they're like "Microsoft Research presents you our latest innovation; Server Core will let you administer Windows Server 2008 directly from the command-line instead of from the graphical user interface!".
Hello? We've had that since the 60's.

Beware of strangers coming with gifts.

Sexual predators and pedophiles cruise around in ice cream trucks, they're like "Come little kids! Come into my ice cream truck!". :D

Better yet, don't ban them. Silently redirect them to goatse.cx

Man that is funny, I started on and was very confused when I moved to Microsoft, no organisation, everything was where you felt it should be. They also fixed that with their program files spiel when Unix had Bin. But again, why did I move? They pay my salary... what happened to Unix? They were going to take over the world... but then they weren't so good at convincing the stupid managers who said what money got spent on. Do you know how much Mark Shuttleworth was paid for his algorithm by Microsoft?

Yeah Windows 7.0 will come on the live CD that you could download from inter for free. You wish.
Isn't the whole idea of FLOSS that anyone can use it even Microsoft?
I won't even vote
