1: So what if DOS ripped off CPM. Someone needed too.... 2: The Amiga didn't rip off the mac. 3: Why the he** would you want to rip off code from an over bloated os made specifically so people, probably not too much unlike yourself, can use a pc without having to think @ all? Geez, there really should be some sort of licensing system or something...... 4: Windows is a big rip off of just about every other os on the planet with the possible exception of the vic 20 and the c=64. 5: I agree that Linux should not be on the desktop unless the user knows enough about *his own* system to make it work. Giving Linux to some people, again probably not too much unlike yourself, is like giving a lighter to a neanderthal with no instructions. (ie. dangerous, just in case you didn't pick up on that one...) 6: My first guess is, you don't read much. 7: My second guess is you were born with a physical oddity, therefore glibbly giving up your testicles is no big deal... 8: My last guess is, you have never run linux, or were un-able to get it running if you did. Try using the old stand-by of sys-admins everywhere, chicken guts and candles........

How 'bout the voters who put them in office and whose money they spend so easily?
Is it really worth $15M of the tax payers monet just to be able to reconstruct a floppy that has been cut to pieces?
Come on. Unless the govt. is gonna use it for more ominous purposes (which IMHO they will) How can they justify such a huge expense?
