    Alternatively they would have to learn Win7 from scratch. And if their work is with something like TIA, then what OS they are running is absolutely irrelevant. They could work in kiosk mode, for all they care.
    Some people just plain fail to understand that Win7 is very different to WinXP in appearance. While the interaction model is actually shared across Windows and Linux.

    Ah... Another person missing the train. Stay a while and listen:
    closed - past indefinite form of verb close
    closed - adjective "not open to the general public"
    He used the verb and you used an adjective. Same spelling, different meanings. The only "Gotcha." is that you failed to distinguish the two. Otherwise both are 100% correct.

    And not releasing source code is somehow treated as evil these days?
    OMFG! 99% of all companies are evil by that definition. I'm sure that Linus, RMS and the whole F/OSS community has some unreleased code they are hiding....

    So... How can they close(v.) the source of something that was never open(n.)? Honeycomb is closed(n.), but it was never closed(verb meaning transition from being open to being closed)

    You don't have a right for food ergo you don't have a right to live. Yet we make sure that no one has a right to kill himself and will provide food to people that need it. Oh an by the way, security is not a right. Security is a result of your right to defend yourself.
    Education and information are the things that are mandatory for a person to be a part of society. Without society people would have never multiplied as much. A person cast out of society will die. Nature is a bitch that wants to kill you, no matter what the hippies say about "mother earth". So having basic education==being part of society==right to live.

    Want some extremes? Natural right tells me that I can break into your home, kill you in your sleep and take all of your possessions. Because really, the only "right" that you have it to protect yourself by all means possible. All other rights stem from the formation of society and in society certain privileges can become rights(private property, life, etc.)

    So in short natural rights are as follows:
    • right to defend yourself to your best abilities
    • right to find nutritional material (a.k.a food)
    • right to do anything you want to anyone you want
    • right to procreate

    These rights are wired into your brain. And are known as "survival instinct".

    Patents exist to convince businesses to share valuable processes from which everyone can benefit.

    Ah... So that is how we got to business process patents,like outsourcing patent by IBM, and software patents. I was pretty sure, that patents were to cover inventor's rights to their inventions. And in effect make sure that the companies don't hoard their knowledge and keep it secret(the disclosure part of patent).
