I would definitely think something like ipe would be hard enough. Its a dense enough wood that even working with it can be difficult. Its [somewhat] readily available too. Its commonly used for decks.
Seriously, I think IBM is sore about MS growing so large when they purposely let it gain makret share to avoid problems with the DoJ. It came out with OS/2 too late, and it wasn't "hip" at all, just percieved as releasing its OS in a "me too" fashion. Yeah, it was popular with a lot of places for is DB support, but other than that it was pretty slim.
IBM claims that MS was acting in a monopolistic way. Why did they wait so long to do anything about it? They are still a large company, why would they allow themselves to be bullied?
Huh... It always easy to say that things are wrong, bad, etc... Why not point some concrete example out? What item in that press release was wrong, lying, or a twist on the truth? Can you point something out?
I did notice a lot of typos and poor grammar.
I also noticed a few things that they said were drawbacks for Linux, but didn't take a similar viewpoint for NT (i.e. the security model where poorly written UNIX apps compromise the security of the system, whereas they didn't mention poorly written NT apps can have the same effect...)
I'm sure MS knows that NT performs better than Linux in a lot of cases. Maybe Linux is getting a taste of their own medicine since the user group continually clamors how its better than NT in every manner. Maybe this will help take some hubris out of the Linux community.

Does the lost data include what I owe them? That's be sweet!
So does that make Linux a Luke Skywalker?

Linux has its place, not its not EVERYPLACE...
