Another is that I don't want anyone else directly making money off my code - supporting it yes, but making it better and selling that, no.
Exactly how does the GPL prevent anyone from doing that? As long as they are willing to distribute any changes to the source, it is my understanding that under the GPL they can make your code better and sell it for as much as they like. (Of course, this is a Good Thing, IMHO).
Haven't done anything? Did you read the article? Smith went on a smear campaign against Linux. Wexler co-sponsored the bill that would have legalized computer sabotage by the entertainment industry. Now they are going to waste taxpayer money and divert resources badly needed in other areas to defending us from "piracy." While forming a caucus is not the end of the world, the caucus will be the most significant voice in the congressional debates over these issues, and it behooves democracy for citizens to demand that other perspectives be represented on the caucus.
Also it's one thing for Smith to represent MS's interests as the representative from that region, but it's another to act as their hired PR flak.
Here's information about Wexler's main contributors, and here's information about Smith's. It looks like Smith is the one getting the yacht, since his #1 contributor by industry is the computer industry. Which makes sense since he's the one who wrote the note attacking linux.
Safari, in its most recent incarnation, works well standards-wise, but one can really feel how different it and the Mozilla code really are (and I do like Moz better). It's also "slow". Camino is coming along well, but it too is "slow".
Usually when people put words in inverted commas it means the words are being used in a different way than is usual. So, by "slow," I assume you mean "fast."
I've actually found that most people come equipped primitive carbon-based CPUs that, while they aren't capable of fast calculations, are very good at basic p2p information sharing techniques. If you take advantage of the speech synthesizers which come standard in most people you can learn about their web searching habits rather directly, without sifting through logs. What's more, there exist places outside of the internet where lots of different people actually go to meet each other and engage in such p2p information sharing. I think they call it "conversation."
If you go through your referrer logs to meet friends, you really should get out of the house more.

a) It sounds better
"Ogg" sounds better than "mp3"? Are you kidding? I mean, "mp3" isn't a great name, but at least you don't feel like a cornball when you say "I've got 20 gigs of mp3s." Who really wants to brag about how many oggs they have??
Do you have a list of all women from Earth that you don't want to sleep with? I guess no. Instead, you have a list of all women from Earth you want to sleep with. Musch better as the second list must be much shorter than the first one:)
Actually, I've known many guys for whom the first list would be shorter.
We are not afraid of the Spam. Allah has condemned the spammers and they will all die. There is no spam on the internet. The spammers have been defeated in battle after battle. They will commit suicide on the firewalls of our ISPs. God will roast their stomachs in hell.
You're trapped in a room with Osama bin Laden, Saddam Hussein, and a spammer. Thankfully, you're armed with a handgun. Unfortunately, you only have 2 bullets. What do you do?
Most likely you have either a hard drive that is getting write errors or you have a wayward extension or you have so much in memory you are getting some sort of virtual memory hell.
Even more likely he's a troll who posts the same freaking comment on every Apple discussion.

I hope you're not asking about wardrobe.

I was wondering where the Iraqi Information Minister would turn up next.

Headline: "'Open Source' Hackers Shut Down Internet, Demand Control of Congress"
I can't imagine Congress ever outlawing Linux, but if there was anything that could bring that day closer, this is probably it.

In fact, Smith's main single contributor was Microsoft!

Actually, Apple used to sell a toaster that runs MacOS.
At least, they make people more productive at some things. Like FRAGGING!

Shoot the spammer twice.
No more annoying emails from Mom. Or from anyone else who won't learn how to use PGP.
Even more likely he's a troll who posts the same freaking comment on every Apple discussion.
And this is a problem?
Eminem should replace Steve Jobs as CEO. I can see it now. Instead of "Think Different" Apple's new slogan will be "Bitch, I'm gonna kill you!"
We shall roast their stomachs in hell!!!
Mmmmmm.... roasted stomach pizza....
Not only did they forget to call Apple beleaguered; they also forgot to mention Kreskin or the amount of posts to usenet about Apple.
If he really wanted cars to crash, he would have installed Windows on it, not Linux.
