And a 5th: Advertising.

This will level the playing field a lot since Google wouldn't be able to subsidise their browser with ad money in order to show more ads in their search engine as well as feed their ads with data from the use of all their products.

Not really. It is just translating the Windows system API calls into Linux system API calls. It's not emulating Windows, it's an entirely different implementation that doesn't necessarily match that of Microsoft's implementation. It had it own workarounds to make buggy code work.

You wouldn't call a Java Virtual Machine an emulator of another JVM either, they're just different implementations of the same specification.

I usually keep the torrent file around for this purpose. It might be a bit cumbersome to find the source for 20 TB of media but it might help you the next time. Generally if you don't store the hash then you can't check if the file is good.

I think for most people it's kinda a shit n forget situation. As soon as I have dropped the load I want to disown it and forget it faster than you can say "shit". You know just like pa did it.

I'm currently looking at onedev.io for personal and startup use but since I haven't had an opportunity to test it out yet I can't vouch for it. It looks cool though and seems to have a good rep.

I keep forgetting that Asia mostly have the family name first. But Osama still stands.

Osama and Mao, but yes it's increasingly rare. I think we tend to associate historic people with their last names more than their first names.
