Is there a server anywhere in the world where you can put up stuff and it's immune to legal challenges? Any country that either has no lawsuits or even laws? www.openglide.antilles anyone?
I'm surprised that Kang would lie to the American people. My conscience therefore directs me to vote for Kodos.
Kang-- We must go forwards not backwards, sideways not upwards... Kodos-- What are you going to do, waste your vote HAHAHa Homer-- It's not my my fault Marge, I voted for Kodos

This was a great move for the developer community on Be's part. Programmers can see exactly how their time is wasted on the Be platform now rather than finding out that they've made a big mistake a few years from now when Be is bankrupt. I was going to develop for Be a year ago and fortunately saw Linux in time. The sooner Be developers swim from the sinking ship onto the bedrock that is Linux, the better. You'll be welcome here and sea sickness will just be a long ago nightmare.
The 250 billion $ / year defense budget could fund 2,500,000 freeware programmers at 100,000 $ / year. Enough to write a new kernel, GUI and all applications one thousand times over every year. Good thing we have our priorities straight.
Don't worry about writing software for free because we're all working for almost free anyways. Programmers make about 0.1 % to 25 % of what the boss makes today, we pay more taxes on that and we don't get to keep what we wrote. If you want cash, here's how I retired: http://members.xoom.com/mistwalker/FinancialInfo rmation.html In the meantime, free software is doing more to destroy the suits than anything else in the world today, what other force could make M$' share price go down? I haven't payed for software in a year, am never going to and am going to buy a cheap computer without the M$ tax in about a month. So long suits.
Without Linux waiting in the wings, this trial wouldn't matter anyways. Say M$ lost, would we all get to buy what Macs?, Sun workstations?, OS/2?. Besides, even in losing, M$ can delay their slap on the wrist until 2002. The main good thing to come out of this trial, in my opinion, is that once again we see powerful people who we allow to rule us for the pitiable creatures that they are.
