> Now Microsoft actually releases 1.9 million lines of source code spread among almost 10,000 files that people can compile to get.NET up and running on their FreeBSD boxes, and Slashdot suddenly clams up about it?
Because it was release for FreeBSD and not Linux. Most of the Linux faithful are over in the corner sulking that it wasn't release for their beloved distro/kernel of the week/self congratulatory club.:-p

Not only should it not pass, it is fundamentally illegal. The US Senate, or Congress, does not have the legal or authoritative right to pass a law that dictates the wherewithal of computing to the rest of the world.

Sounds like you have a cooling problem on that there machine. When I was doing number crunching, my P4 would go from 29C to 62C in minutes. Once I replaced the crappy OEM cooling setup with something better, it doesn't go over 40C now.
Frankly, I'm rather surprised that no one in the Open Source community has started a free certificate authority. It's not quantum physics lads - all you need is a few lines of code and some web pages.
And what about the independent artists that use CD-R media to release their work? Now they have to support commercial artists - which don't support them back in turn. My, my this truly sucks, don't it, eh?
Can I have what you are smoking or shooting up? Once again you have demonstrated that you have no clue as to the real world. Perhaps you and the (tired) Wired crowd should stop blowing smoke up each others backsides.
First, go out and learn the basics of how business works and the basics of economics. When you have done that, little boy, you will see the error of your ways and wonder how the fork you could ever write and post cr*p like that.
I wouldn't buy a Mac - premium price for middle of the road proprietary hardware. What I would buy would be OS X for Intel/AMD hardware. Think about it - Microsoft needs the competition and envision replacing them on the laptop, desktop and in the data center.
PS. If you pursue this, then you own me 1% of net revenue.
Oh! Ah! The Slashdot Linux dweeb crowd discovers 64-bit processors. Alpha, MIPS and SPARC users wonder what rock the slashdot gaggle of gits has been living under.
On eBay, 10 year old 500MHz PIII systems will go for $5000 because they can do it all, eBay will be canning all such auctions because the MPAA's legal tactics.
Ah, duh, you still need something that can handle SOAP, i.e. a SOAP 'server' - so now we have a SOAP 'server' as a parasite inside an HTTP server. Good engineering, no?
Because anything but HTML over HTTP is a kludge. Instead of developing an appropriate protocol, or using an existing one, everything is being shoved over HTTP because the designers/developers are a bunch of forkin' idiots.
Gentlemen, all your assertions are loaded bullsheep. You are looking at a 1 inch square of a 100x100x100 ft cube. And are believing the theoretical crap 'economists' are shoveling at you.

Then the wankers will start adding spyware to Mac software. Duh.
Don't bother with a CD - have it available, and current, for download.
Egads, now that is truly simple minded thinking. Want to buy some .com stock? Will hit $300 in two months for sure.
I've probably jinxed myself, but my P2B-DS and P2B-LS systems are running just fine after a couple of years.
Because it was release for FreeBSD and not Linux. Most of the Linux faithful are over in the corner sulking that it wasn't release for their beloved distro/kernel of the week/self congratulatory club. :-p
Can we have several of these at the local sperm bank?
Contract the Bin Laden construction company to rebuild the Twin Towers.

ARGH! XML is not some piece of magick. It is just a frickin' text-based file format!! Stop trying to shove everything into XML for forks sake.
Whoppee Shite. Now, you useless wankers, why don't you do a heros reach and support Canada? Eh??? Tossers.
MS Troll!

Wonderful. Short-term think bullwank economics. What about the long term costs of all off this crap?
