My post was not flamebait. I resent the fact that it was marked -1 flamebait.
The problem with moderation is that it oppresses unpopular views.
My Karma is now negative because I expressed an opinion some people didn't agree with. Well, why don't you clever moderators explain how the 3rd Secret of Fatima does, in fact, refer to the assassination attempt. You can't, because the facts have been distorted to a ludicrous level in order to make it "fit". There is no logical connection between the two, only irrationality. Explain why the Catholic church did not protect the pope - you can't because the prophecy was applied to the event after the fact with no substantive logical reasoning.

It could be the greatest system in the world, but if 0 people use it, it is worthless to Lucent other than as a research vehicle.
This is a pretty good move IMO - good for Lucent, good for OS researchers/implementors.

Well, it is possible that you are not an idiot. It is fairly obvious you don't understand or care about licensing issues which are extremely important in this business.

Your juvenile insults are not necessary and, in fact, refect poorly on your ability to present a logical/real argument here.
If you have tangible substantive arguments, post them. If you do not, that is your freedom but I will not encourage it.

None of the things you bulleted are unique to Christianity.
Christianity is an amalgamation of numerous historical religious myths.
Christianity is the Microsoftian innovator of religions.
Horus of Egypt
Horus was born of the virgin Isis-Meri on December 25th in a cave/manger42, with his birth being announced by a star in the East and attended by three wise men.
He was a child teacher in the Temple and was baptized when he was 30 years old.44 Horus was also baptized by "Anup the Baptizer," who becomes "John the Baptist."
He had 12 disciples.
He performed miracles and raised one man, El-Azar-us, from the dead.
He walked on water.
Horus was transfigured on the Mount.
He was crucified, buried in a tomb and resurrected.
He was also the "Way, the Truth, the Light, the Messiah, God's Anointed Son, the Son of Man, the Good Shepherd, the Lamb of God, the Word" etc.
He was "the Fisher," and was associated with the Lamb, Lion and Fish ("Ichthys").
Horus's personal epithet was "Iusa," the "ever-becoming son" of "Ptah," the "Father."46
Horus was called "the KRST," or "Anointed One," long before the Christians duplicated the story.
Correct me if I am wrong, but wouldn't the unscrupulous foreign governments using PSXs for weapons systems be voiding their warranty if they opened the case?
What if an IC burned out or something. There goes a couple hundred bucks down the drain!
