    Whitin a Union (speccially the Comission) that spends milions with employes (read friends of politicians) and translators that don't do nothing (litteraly) >> spending 250 thousand is just a joke to shut up many of the European free software advocates.

    If the EU decides that linux is a better way to go then perhaps MS should try doing some of that innovation stuff that American businesses are supposed to be so good at.
    < /standard free market blather >

    Perhaps instead the MS marketing machine will get cranked up in Europe? I'm more torn by the idea that an undemocratic body like the EU sees linux as a way to put an end to monopolistic practices. This is especially ironic in light of the big announcement that is likely to come later today. In all likelyhood MS will get off the hook once again.

    1. Thanks for explaining the punchline. I always prefer to receive my jokes with parenthetical footnotes.

    2. I hope the next person who uses this joke template dies a nasty, horrible death.

    Thank you for your attention.

    Europe and progressive social policy (or, if you live there, I guess you'd just call it "social policy" :) ) are practically synonymous and the US is once again made to look like a country run by bankers...


    Err. What's so very progressive about the welfare society, again? Last time I checked, even German economical growth is grinding to halt and unemployment rates are on the rise. No small part of this can be attributed to the huge tax load on inviduals and companies as a deterrent to enterpreneurial spirit. The tax goes, of course, to support abovementioned welfare state. Throw in Byzantine co-mingling of banks, corporations and goverment and you have a recipe for progressive social policy.

    Of course we have the example of UK to show it is possible to transition from a welfare state to a free market. Shouldn't shock anyone that Correct Political Opinion asserts UK retarded into a developing country with the social reforms.

    Perhaps there really is something to the socialist nature of open source if it's principal appeal is to monolithic goverment organization.

    Of course most of the uncivilized world isn't bent on destroying the UK or its culture either, so I would be surprised if their military budget is anywhere near ours.

    Sweden had a well known and long running policy of eugenics (gulp!). Did you think they were all tall, blond and good looking by ACCIDENT?

    You have no clue. I have done business with folks in the EU. When it comes to big dumb government and inbred corruption, the USA is clearly ranked amateur status in comparison. It's is horrible over there to anyone with even a shred of respect for economic freedoms.
