Barrier of entry for providing service should be low.
However the other problems you indicate could be solved by:
1) Trust envelopes 2) Authentication of messages (especially requests) 3) Blocking of certain IP addresses ( in the IP headers not in the SIP message) -- a la blocking out messages from compromised relays in SMTP.
This brings the intelligence back to the core (or at least the equivalent of residential gateways).
However the standards make it easy for other people that want to join the bandwagon and support as many RFCs as possible (not your friendly neighbourhood monopoly/big guy but just a couple of guys slapping together some Perl/Python etc). It evens the play field. And with the Open Source implementations (VOCAL/OSIP etc), it makes the barrier to entry almost invisible.
My XP machine winked out (while browsing a folder) and came back saying "a problem was found". I sent the error report off and had a MS website (poorly renderred in Mozilla) tell me that a nonMS device driver was at fault there.
So writes the code that reads the hard disk?? And why doesn't it fail all the time -- MS would not answer.
It's definitly not FUD to say it is much more effort to develop and release cross platform binaries in Linux than Windows.
Am waiting for a MS sponsored "study" to validate what you said. They would show notepad working on different flavours of Windows (I doubt if it works though).
If China conquers space, why would it still be bothered by Taiwan (or Tibet or Indian Territories or Mongolian or.... phew those guys have a lot of stinking fingers in a lot of pies).
-- US companies invited people to work in the US with the H1B program -- It is argued that H1B visa program actually created more jobs and allowed citizens to climb up the value chain. It did not reduce the jobs in a holistic sense. -- A visitor's visa does not allow you to work. This is true for any country.
If there is enough pressure put by companies moving offices to India to allow alien workers, such legislation will get enacted. Ask your nearest Indian to write to her/his MP.
Not entirely -- when you have a small enough group controlling the entire financial destiny of a huge enough population, then you could have a self sustaining system that does not fold because of the lack of buying power of the many.
I am not suggesting that this could happen or is happening. But theoritically it is possible.
If this is a conscious decision, then "Way to go, DELL!!"
Hopefully, a challenge comes up to the EULAs and sets a precedent that they are not enforceable (there was a post on a different thread above which indicated that there was precedent to show that it was enforceable)
This approach is in *ADDITION* to the already existing successful strategies. Whatever sales techniques exists, this one will be added to them. If all else fails with a hard nosed customer -- try to use a "fact-based" approach.

As a Slashdotter, you have posted.

As a curious person, why dont you go read the friendly article
Chinese space agecny folks are the only ones that have mastered the art of marketing (and seeding) in that country.
To what inner/greater purpose, I do not understand.
Isn't it 46 Billion?

The news here is not the contents of the article but that the article was itself written.
Or so the rationale for this front page item goes

Did you mean to have a period at the end of your username ? I cannot see your journals or your details because of that (I think)

Blogs could be bad for the quality of google's results: because of blogs linking to eachother, the get a bigger pagerank than thy should,
Thus Google inviting the bloggers into their fold, can control the false links -- and count only the outgoing links as real links for their PageRank.
Factual errors in your post:
-- US companies invited people to work in the US with the H1B program
-- It is argued that H1B visa program actually created more jobs and allowed citizens to climb up the value chain. It did not reduce the jobs in a holistic sense.
-- A visitor's visa does not allow you to work. This is true for any country.

So morally the argument may be weak -- that does not prevent you from getting the better aspects of the Vegan diet.
Just one fallacy does not a "fool" make.

What if the program were meant to communicate on the net?
You do not suppose that Opera should be stopped from connecting to the Net...

I have tried the "a-billion-people-can't-be-wrong" argument for getting people around to the British way of spelling (and Indian pronounciation ;-) )
So far, it has not worked.
