Sun's Last Stand

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the nautical-twilight dept.

non writes "Wired has an article by Gary Revlin in the July edition about the current state of affairs at Sun. He attributes half of Sun's problems to failure to recognize the emergence of Linux, and the other half to their failure to make up with Microsoft, and finishes up with a server price comparison. An interesting read."

    In the coming months a black spot will pop up everywhere . . . on store windows and newspaper boxes, on gas pumps and supermarket shelves. Open a magazine or newspaper - it's there. It's on TV. It stains the logos and smears the nerve centers of the world's biggest corporations.

    This is the mark of the people who don't approve of Bush's plan to control the world, who don't want countries "liberated" without UN backing, who can't stand anymore neo-con bravado shoved down their throats.

    This is the mark of the people who want the Kyoto Protocol for the environment, who want the International Criminal Court for greater justice, who want a world where all nations, including the U.S.A., are free of weapons of mass destruction.

    This is our pledge:

    Because my country has sold its soul to corporate power,
    Because consumerism has become our national religion,
    Because we've forgotten the true meaning of freedom,
    And because patriotism now means agreeing with the president,
    I pledge to do my duty . . . and take my country back.

    Mod this up....most of you people here bitch and complain when a site is slashdotted and want the content. Now when someone posts it ahead of time, you mod it down as redundant? How lame.

      Wasn't me who posted the anony message. It's nice to have a vote of confidence though.

    It only gets modded up if there's references to Cmdr Taco and gay activities.
