Intel Warns Asia Over Linux Plan

rimbaldi writes "Intel's CEO, Craig Barrett recently warned the Chinese government that their attempt to create regional standards for computers and communications, including standards using Linux-based software, may be doomed to failure, since 'such a strategy might protect local companies and markets in the short term, [but] it would make it more difficult for Asian companies to participate in world markets.' This is in reaction to earlier Slashdot-covered stories about an Asian software consortium and China disallowing foreign software."

    Actualy bush is the worst kind of liar. He does it because the truth has no effect on his beliefs. He is more than willing to distort the facts to meet his fiction.

    Clinton's administration stopped attempts on: Holland tunnel, Lincoln tunnel, George Washington Bridge, The Pope's life, and Millennium Weekend.

    He caught the people responsible for: 1993 WTC, 1995 Guard Barracks, 1996 Khobar Towers, 1998 Embassy bombings.

    He stopped the fighting in Bosnia far more effectively than Bush has done in Iraq.

    When he left, the CIA and FBI were set up to fight against terrorism.

    When Bush took over, he reversed course. He was looking for a conflict in Iraq. He wanted Saddam Hussein from day one. He told the CIA to shift focus from terrorism to nation building and all out war with Iraq.

    Do you recall the GOP's fervor with which they attacked Clinton on terrorism? They thought he was making the stuff up. They attacked him on bombing a chemical plant in the Sudan. Now, Bush invades a country and can't find chemical weapons.

    He had to post-war plan in either Iraq or Afghanistan.

    Bush is a miserable failure and September 11th is his administration's fault.
