Once again, an example of capitalism screwing over people who try to help society. I garauntee that none of the aforementioned companies that allow others to use their algorithms freely will be still in business next year. Scumbags like RSA will be, and are, rolling in cash while they rip off the consumer. Greed pays.
Yes, see the example of Mac OS X selling for $999.00 -- a BSD-based system with the source code now secret. BSD is harming the free software movement more than helping it.
Humans are no different than machines.

When I started working, I had this illusion that people cared about one another.. boy was I mistaken! Your boss will do whatever he possibly can to screw you over and cheat you. There is no such thing as 'honesty' or 'respect' in the business world. You have to fight the whole way. It is extremely disgusting, but there really isn't anything you can do about it. Capitalism rewards greed and cruelty and punishes empathy and humanity. Unfortunately, it's the only system to choose from today (socialism seems to have failed).

Well if companies were using Linux instead of NT then the older employees could continue to use their existing Unix skills without any problem! Unfortunately it is all about pretty pictures and shiny boxes, so NT is going to keep owning us for quite some time.
I agree.. I fell asleep during the Star Wars movies. Of course, I just saw them for the first time last year. Maybe the thrill in 1980 was the special effects, not the movie itself. I don't know. I think this new movie is going to be one I'll just skip.
Isn't this somewhat of an overkill? I think we pretty much covered this in the comments section on the related slashdot article yesterday. It is funny the first time, but not the twelve-hundreth time!
I submit that they are dropping MkLinux because it will be competing with Mac OS X (Rhapsody) which is unix-based. Mac OS X sounds pretty cool, but I'll take the GPLed Linux OS over the proprietary OS any day.

Great, I need something to melt the snow off the driveway!!
No, I'm not a socialist.

Keynesian economics were successful up until the Vietnam War/Nixon era. Since then the wonderful Republican Party has basically fucked our country.
does that pc include a monitor and ethernet?
I got a Hayes Accura 56k modem just before Christmas for only $10!! It was on sale and also had a mail in rebate.

You have new mail. (or "You have mail.", depending on whether or not you've read it yet)
On AOL it is:
You've got mail. (aka You have got mail.)
AOL has to be hillbilly-literate you see..
If I run the client on a Windows machine, and then log out, does it stop running, or does it continue in the background like unix??
