Actually, it would be the opposite. Imagine you are immortal and will never die. How would you prevent boredom? Besides seeding planets with life, and observing the changes, what else would there be to do?
OK, *beside* waiting for Duke Nukem Forever to be released.
Under GNU/Linux, you typically have better educated users.
There is no need to defend against those users, they are
not attacking their own machine. It is uneducated users
that are tricked into executing malicious code, that allow
outside attackers to control their machine.
The fact that you "can find at least 3 ways to summarize even really good and innovative patents" should tell you that the patent in question is neither good nor innovative.
Definition.--At the time the Constitution was adopted, many persons understood the term ex post facto laws to "embrace all retrospective laws, or laws governing or controlling past transactions, whether... of a civil or a criminal nature." But in the early case of Calder v. Bull, the Supreme Court decided that the phrase, as used in the Constitution, applied only to penal and criminal statutes. But although it is inapplicable to retroactive legislation of any other kind, the constitutional prohibition may not be evaded by giving a civil form to a measure that is essentially criminal.
In this case, where the bush administration wants to give immunity to the telcos,
the Ex Post Facto ruling does not apply anyway.
First, no one is talking about making a greater penalty that could
be applied to the telcos, they are talking about a lessor penalty.
Second, even though SCOTUS ruled that it does not apply to civil violations,
the fact of the matter is, that these illegal acts committed by the telcos
at the behest of the NSA, are actually criminal in nature if allowed.
They are treasonous and/or economic espionage, which are criminal acts.
Here is the problem with giving the immunity: Once that precedent is set,
then it will lead to pure fascism, for the darkside would be able to use
that precedent to absolve *ANY* corporation of wrongdoing.
Blackwater, no penalty for murder.
Haliburton, no audit of their books.
The list goes on and on.
The greed and depravity of the darkside has *no* bounds.
They lie, cheat, and steal every waking moment.
Their brain is so corrupted, they see no evil.
In their mind, laws are meant to be broken.
If the telcos are given immunity, all corporations
will be able to lie, cheat, steal, and destory the
planet with impunity.
This is why 9-11 happened, to scare everyone into
giving this immunity to the fascist corporations.
There are no terrorists except the fascists within the government.
Exactly. This is why it is the NSA and Microsoft involved. We already know the NSA is spying, it's just the methods are supposed to be secret. Obviously, they are not really secret, but they want to maintain the air of plausible deniability. NSA is doing the spying on everyone with the help of Microsoft. It is no surprise therefore, that Microsoft is attacking FLOSS.
Yes. And I know how it works too. With enough beers, you forget why you were waiting for a particular webpage to load, so it seems faster when you discover that the page is already loaded.
Oh, wait, maybe it's pot that does that. I forget.

Since that is how the system is designed, I agree.
But, unfortunately, there is another year of abuse
and resulting damage to the U.S. to put up with.

But, hey, you knew that, because you are educated.
That's because most of them have a poor education.
And, that's what OPLC is all about, education.
Man, that, that is so ... 1984!
I recall this also. I don't recall the chemicals used,
but the solution oscillated between purple and clear,
eventually ending purple.
They are hurting due to poor Vista sales.
It's funny that the link you provided is buried by Google,
and in fact does not show up on the first page when you
search on Google for 'microsoft'.
I want an http://www.google.com/linux.html page.
Come on Google, let's stop the discrimination.

What are they smoking?
It's Darl, Darl McBride.
But Ralph Yarrow is the one pulling the strings.
Simple scripted life forms are necessary for the procreation aspect.
If everyone figured out what was really happening, they may refuse
to play the game, and stop procreating.
Possibly that is what happened to the Cro-Magnons.
That's all I ask.
I'd have to say no, and in fact, their attack on Netscape
probably woke up a lot of people, and Microsoft may regret it.
The *really* stupid idea was even posting this on Slashdot.
This is a story that should be totally ignored.
I doubt the Pope would like the news. It was a Wednesday.

See how these lying bastards try to confuse?
Forewarned is forearmed.
Because Vista sucks, people will stick to XP,
with the backdoor updates.
XP is *NOT* to be trusted either.
If you have XP with SP2, watch out.
They have no way of knowing that the source the can review
actually matches any binaries provided via Windows Update.
