And the end result is you wind up with a few gems, maybe, sloshing around in a sea of crap... And you can't rely on popularity rankings to tell the good from the bad.
Sure, if we convince our enemies to put tracking chips in their missiles and to launch them when and where we want them to, and to not use countermeasures we can shoot down almost 50% of them.
But for some reason they don't want to play ball.
Japan's taxes are about the same as ours, and half of Europe and Canada pay less than 10% more than the US does.
If that's the downside to working less and having access to healthcare, I'll take it.

So it's just like TV?
Some of us prefer green text.
COINTELPRO is the reason these rules were created, actually.
Oil costs the Iranians just as much as everyone else.

Probably because their projects use code from many other projects. It's hard to be a monoculture in FOSS without reinventing the wheel a lot.
The only problem is getting people to install Java.
If you're judging on exclusives only, Windows doesn't look all that attractive either.
The issue is not what they were judged on in the past, but whether or not future business practices will merit judgments against them.
I don't see how leveraging their monopoly to gain advantages in a new market is going to prevent future judgments.
But they are a convicted monopoly in the US and the EU. Who are they trying to convince? China?
Won't that require either a Playstation button on the Wiimote, or a dedicated peripheral that doesn't use the Wiimote for the Wii version?
What specific patents are those?
The interface is pretty straightforward. It just doesn't work like Photoshop.
Wait, can't Calc hook up to Base?

"What if a 5th grade teacher has five kids who come into their class and can't read beyond a second grade level? " Put them in second grade English.
I tried that. The mic on my mouse must be broken.

Ammunition gives off high velocity lead when it burns. Are you suggesting the government not allow us to keep ammo?
The UK has a law like that. They call it an anti-social behavior order, or ASBO.
