Saving the Net

Posted by michael on from the great-american-pastime dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Doc Searls, editor at Linux Journal, has a very insightful editorial that brings it all together - the FCC media consolidation ruling, SCO vs. Linux, why broadband is under attack by telcos and cable systems, why we lost Eldred vs. Ashcroft, what's really interesting about Howard Dean's presidential campaign, and a very astute observation about the vast gulf between Liberals and Conservatives."

    Al Gore said he invented the Internet. Is this why he did it?

    [Note: Please do not post any responses by Snopes which do nothing to deny the fact that Gore took credit for creating the Internet long after it had been created]

  5. Funny thing about SCO by eddy · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    As always there's humor in all things SCO. This is from an eweek article on the German injunction against SCO:

    SCO's legal counsel also felt that the temporary retraining order had been sought "too quickly, so we believe it may be a bit of a publicity stunt"

    Pot, meet...? He also went on to say this about lifting the order:

    "We expect to be able to have a hearing within the next two weeks on this, where we will be able to present affidavit and testimony to support those issues subject to the temporary restraining order."

    That was the 30:th of May, almost two months ago. How is lifting that order going for you Ryan? Let's see:

    Der deutsche Web-Server der SCO Group GmbH ist derzeit nicht erreichbar.

    Ah.

    (not really gloating, would really want to know if anything's happening on that front)

    It's why favorite liberal buzzwords like "fairness" and "opportunity" are fingernails on the chalkboards of conservative minds. To conservatives, those words are code-talk for punishing the strong and rewarding the weak.
