There's quite a few that do that, though, unfortunately. And, like I said, those are the ones who brag about being on welfare. The 'good ones' are the ones you never see or hear about, because they hide it.
Um... Thing is, I can still contribute to MySQL if I so choose. I'm not locked out of anything. Hell, if I choose to install amaroK, I can even install MySQL to complement it.
If you have a community, you don't piss them off like this, for exactly this reason. They will kill you in the press.
Every project that goes commercial (MySQL, I'm looking at you) has a heritage of open source. By killing off the community that created it, they are going to kill off their commercial prospects.
And... taking tax money, buying billions in war machines and such, that's not wealth redistribution?
Most of the government contractors are run and owned by generally very rich people. By buying from them, we're giving money from (poor && rich) and giving it to (rich), when the rich don't really need it.
I don't like that people take advantage of the welfare system. But if someone is in genuine need, and is responsible, shouldn't we help them?
Instead of saying "Welfare is bad! Everyone who is on welfare is a lazy ass!" try to understand something. There's two 'types' of welfare takers.
There's the "I could get a job, but am too lazy" kind. These are the ones who tend to spend our tax dollars on luxury goods, like video games and motorcycles. These people generally flaunt it, too. "Ooh, the welfare check came yesterday!"
Then you have the "I genuinely can't support myself" type. These are the kind that we want to help. They have a hard time making ends meet for *necessities*, let alone have any left over to get luxuries. These people are ashamed of their dependence on welfare, and they try to hide it.
Oh, wow, what a brilliant, subtle attack on Obama.
The ABA is a corrupted, quasi-governmental body now. If they do things like this, then they should be... um... discredited...? I dunno. I was going to say barred from this stuff, but that's a terrible pun.
Digging around much?
I swear, the racist remarks on/. have gotten ridiculous these past weeks.
I can only fear what will be posted if Obama is actually elected.

You cannot be held accountable for the actions of others.

I have heard of no such thing.

Only terrorists want lower taxes! You should be PROUD to pay for taxes that go to line wealthy pockets!!
Ooh! Pendrive! Where do I sign up for this pendrive / soul exchange?

How, pray tell, would it *increase* the number of politicians? I'm not seeing it.
Really? Well, that explains a lot... No, actually, XPs networking is dandy.
I just find it ironic that they're using something created by a competitor. Nothing against the BSD stack.
They revamped the networking... Does this mean they *finally* got away from using the network stack created for BSD, one of their competitors?
If everyone is good, I'll make a torrent or something...
