I was on Google just now and typed in "Linux kernel source code" for some research I was doing, and guess what one of the sponsored links at the top was?  I'll let you see for yourself.

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.
John Stuart Mill

Google should fucking censor who gets to advertise on their site.  I typed in "curses howto" for some documentation on programming with ncurses in linux, and this
was one of the sponsored links.  What crap!

Microsoft is trying to subconsciously associate itself with open source, so when stupid people do Linux stuff they are compelled to buy Microsoft products.
