[OT] You lose a little piece of your soul when you run Windows :-(

   Okay, this obviously isn't GNU/Linux related, but it's a story to make the 
heart go pitter-patter.

   Here's the nutshell version: College student buys XP at an academic 
discount, realizes he has to reformat his hard drive to install it, so he 
decides to sell it -- unopened -- on eBay. Microsoft sues the student for 
"irreparable damage" and demands $143.50.

   Much to the evil empire's surprise, they don't know they've sued a 
biochemistry student who (a) has a brain, (b) can read English and (c) 
doesn't like being pushed around. Read the story to find out details and the 
ending.
