OSDL CEO: Microsoft Has to Accept Linux

PenguinCandidate writes "The OSDL's Stuart Cohen has been in the news lately following a clandestine meeting with Microsoft about a dubiously independent TCO study; a study that has since been rejected by the OSDL. The idea of an independent Windows/Linux TCO comparison may be dead, but did Cohen have an additional card up his sleeve? In this interview, Cohen states that while he "awaits the reply from MS's Martin Taylor on the results of his internal investigation" into how an off-the-record meeting became public, he will continue to promote his belief that MS will eventually have to accept Linux as customer demand increases."

    USA is unable to air drop 200,000 MRE

    USA doesn't want to drop MREs, it pretty obvious it wants those poor people to die, meantime your reps are busy playing guitars for their friends while drinking champagne and profiteering as fast as they can so THEY can live in absolute luxury for 100 generations, they dont give a shit about a bunch of poor people

    if i was in other parts of the USA i would be organising a march on Washington to kick those corrupt bastards out of congress and the whitehouse and start society again
    if it takes force then so be it, USE those rights

    sometimes you HAVE to reboot the machine

    I find it more curious that the US -is- capable of getting adequate food and water to those people and isn't doing it.

    Dropping the food and water under the present conditions isn't the answer, but there are other ways. Either lowering in cargo ners or impovised landing areas. Food and water should have been moving in there in large quantities as soon as the winds died down.

    If those people in the Toilet Dome were in the tax brackets that Bush and his cronies in Congress gave tax relief to, you can be damn sure they would be getting all the help they needed.
