Warnings to Red Hat about AOL Buyout

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the stuff-to-read dept.

andyo from O'Reilly submitted linkage to a report he wrote over there where he urges Red Hat to think twice about letting AOL eat them. Talks about GNN, as well as Netscape. I'm sure this isn't the last word we'll hear on this subject either.

      actually, the first 10 words of the write-up would already have been enough:

      but that's really too much to ask if you need to get FIRSTISAJTP OOOSSST!!! (and first up-moderation because of stupid moderators who can't wait to spend their points) I guess ..

    Yes, the freedom for the individuals within corporations to avoid responsibility for things like, e.g., poisoning our water and our air, is indeed a corporate freedom that is bad.

    If I poison your water, I get sent to jail for attempted murder. If Motorola or Intel poisons your water, they get whacked lightly over the wrist with limp noodles and told "Don't do that again" (I lived over a Motorola flume for 18 months so know that first-hand) Does anybody else see anything wrong here?
