As others have mentioned, thanks to the very nature of open-source software, if there's something RedHat likes from L-M's enhancements, they can always put it right back into the original...
Oh dear god, yes! What Izaak above said is so true it almost hurts sometimes... Someone please immediately score the above post to +5 as "Damn Good Advice for Geeks" Heh... If more of the CIS majors here acted that way, I'd actually hang out with other geeks instead of the non-CIS people I do now...
Some companies employ such software across their networks for several reasons. For one, they figure that if their employees can't get access to porn, then they won't waste the company's time or network resources. A second, more understandable reason involves preventing sexual harrasment. When a company gets sued because an idividual who works there keeps porn on their computer, other companies are going to do their best to prevent the same happening.
That's HUMMER vs. HMMWV....

If anything, the HUMMER is a scaled-*UP* version of the HMMWV M998A2. Better suspension, better seats, a radio... etc. Minus the kevlar weaved into the fiberglass, mind you.
Why does it seem that once you become popular, you automatically become a target here? With Intel and Microsoft, it's one thing as they've got enough reasons to object too. However, now that RedHat and VA are getting larger, they're now on many hitlists. Linus is getting up there? Well, hell he sucks too.
Is this just a side effect of people who don't care if they're right or wrong, as long as they're in the minority (and therefore "elite")?
How much longer till we see a large movement away from Linux because it's too popular?
As far as I understand it: no. The "speed of light" that everyone hears about is the accepted speed of photons through space, with nothing to slow 'em down. The speed of light goes down as the photons pass through various substances, much like a person trying to run through water is much slower than on dry land. This is what causes all those nifty keen prismatic effects when light goes through glass and water at the right angle.
Now, just as the speed of light in space is a certain amount, so too is the speed of light in this substance the scientists are playing with. And just like you cannot exceed the speed of light while travelling through space, you can't exceed it if you were travelling through that super-cooled substance. Therefore, no object could accelerate even close to 38 miles per hour, inlcuding radio waves, fast cars, or Microsoft lawyers on their way to court with their latest faked video, while travelling through that substance.

Look closer... Nintendo doesn't publish the card game. It's actually published by WotC. History may repeat itself once again...

Even earlier, there was the turning point in American sitcom families: The Bunkers in "All in the Family" (1971)

Or something like that...
