To be technically correct, the "enemies" actually DID kill A L-O-O-O-O-O-O-0-T of people.(please note the 7 O's on the word lot, referring to more than 26000000 Russian nationals killed)
I believe NATO invokes section 5 in case of a "conventional attack". Otherwise US and NATO as a whole is in perpetual war with Russia, China and all others not in NATO and not allies of US. Since informational attacks are considered espionage...

I have a stationary PC, a laptop and a netbook.
All my communication, news and reading is done almost exclusively on a netbook. In fact, I am typing this on my netbook, with my PC playing a movie on my dual monitors.
I also use it to watch GoogleTechTalks when on the cycle in the gym.
I thought that undemocratic and oppressive regimes are bad. Communism is not inherently bad, it's a different economic system opposing capitalism.
Should I remind that there are religious communists in the heart of US - the Amish!!!!
FYI: Extreme poverty and high gap between the poor and the rich, lead to communist unrests. Specially in a country that many people gained their wealth via the corruption of government.
And China is NOT US. Communism is not that foreign to them.
On a side note, communism is US is closer then you think. Remember that the amish are basically communist, though religious.
I believe that System Z comes with on-site support... And there is usually so much redundant H/W there, that you can actually wait a few days till it breaks completely.
Problem is that most people in USofA identify:
- communism = autocracy
- capitalism = democracy
So even though it's totally incorrect, from the GP's point of view it is correct to compare the two.
Please tell me; why should people work for the betterment of the whole of human society rather than for themselves? Why should people do things that do not benefit themselves?
Reality! You cannot achieve anything individually. You may have a illusion, in your current society that you can. But reality is that, much like the animal world*, we have to be a community to achieve ANYTHING.
Imagine, that Newton would think the same way as you. We probably wouldn't have much of what we have now. Einstein, was not a billionaire, but his theories were already applied in his lifetime. And most researchers work to better the life of society.
You would probably think otherwise, if your family was touched by such illnesses like cancer.
By your logic, why shouldn't the research companies charge 10 million USD for cancer drugs? Really, why? You would go to the "end of the earth" just to live, so why should they give it to you for such a measly sum?
Why should anyone share their knowledge in any way?
* - See the lone insects and mammals vs organized ones, ants and bees, what they achieve as a community.
Amen , to that!
Being a "team" player is in self interest of every smart person. Since every smart person knows that he/she cannot do everything on his/her own.
The stupid person, views self interest at a reptilian level - all for me, none for everyone else.
Oh. And BTW, Christianity is the ultimate form of religious communism. Problem is that it has been transformed so much from it's original form, that most of the original ideals were lost.(Read about how the first Christians were organized initially. Sample: the last supper and similar practices)
NOTE this does NOT mean I am claiming Apples are overpriced, just that you can't turn an obsolete PC into a perfectly fine linux server or desktop.
A: You shouldn't be afraid to say it. Even Apple admit that they produce a premium product(read overpriced, as in the cashew nuts in hotel rooms)
B: You actually CAN turn an obsolete PC into a Linux server/desktop.
Unless you are ready to pay for an Apple branded netbook same mas for 2 or 3 Asus EEEPCs, Apple has no chance in that market. Remember, that Apple is a "premium" company.

Yep... MAc users are extremely vocal. And in any case, you know you are talking to a Mac user if you are talking to a designer. That is a niche for ya.

But still. A US based company claimed damages and filed the "complaint".

Hm... I am successfully using Piklab on Ubuntu without any issues. Point and click install.
But maybe you have some obscure hardware.
Really? So OSX has every software for every day of the month? Last time I checked, there are a bunch of games that don't run on OSX.

OMFG! You don't know what you are talking about, do you?
Try looking at the following, and try to understand that $1000/MIP is also all other stuff...

They are in the wild. They are called prototypes....
That is not surprising, since HP is a Microsoft shop.
Those admins will be the first ones "let go" in this economy. You probably can get a windows admin for 1/10th remotely from India.

You don't need to be a genius to get to that.
You are forgetting the license stickers. Everyone forgets the stickers....

Double digits mean nothing. Double digit market acquisition rate is something to worry about.

You are getting it all wrong. F/OSS is communism.
