In could not have been in response to Oracle and Red Hat. This has been planned out
for years (Novell bought SuSE nearly 3 years ago), and the Microsoft-Novell discussions
started in April 2006, well before Oracle made their announcement.
I *knew* something was fishy when Novell bought SuSE.
Well sure. The Republican voters are probably impressed that the machine magically knows who they are going to vote for. Therefore, they won't complain.
You should thank your lucky star that you exist so you can even contemplate such questions.
Personnally, as SpaceLifeForm, I have seen no big bang, nor any collapse. The Universe just exists, is infinite, and will always exist. Everything else that points to expansion *or* collapse is just an illusion, physics to confuse the observer.
That won't help because the *totals* can be manipulated without any trace. The code could be quite valid, but manipulating the counts would still be possible.

No. If I *choose* to not agree to the {L]GPL, that is
a perfectly valid choice, *BUT*, I still can use the software.
And, at the same time, I could have obtained that software
for free (as in 'legal' currency, aka beer).
There are no *conditions* imposed *unless* I accept the license.
Don't assume that a person receiving something requires
that said person must fork over cash for it.
If you buy into that, you believe in the Microsoft PIPE Fairy.
Remember, SUN makes money on hardware.
Novell and Microsoft do not.
You are either going to die financially or legally
unless you find a way to break these 'agreements'
with Microsoft.
Good luck.
Correct. It's telling that bush just over an hour ago
is still touting the 'war' and how it's tied to terrorists.
Talk about brainwashed.
There is nothing to figure out. You can run proprietary software on Linux today. Look at Oracle.
The DRE machines are actually slowing down the voting
process, leading to long lines, with waits in the hours.
Many people can't wait that long and have to go to work.
How about a hash on the selections in combination with a passphrase.
Sorta PGP/GPG signed and encrypted.
How about Novell being infiltrated by Microsoft moles.
Not yet.

What is your solution to 03:14:07 January 19, 2038 UTC?
Well sure. The Republican voters are probably impressed that
the machine magically knows who they are going to vote for.

As does the power supply.
Microsoft loves people that frequently power-cycle
their machines.
Well said. So, what's your thoughts on SCO v IBM?
Hey! That's not fair to the chimp.
At least if a chimp flips a coin,
they appear intelligent.
If a whole lot of chimps flip coins,
why, the voting pattern would actually
appear human-like.
At least in most races.
In this case, apparently 25% have a clue.
Do you know what the difference is between
a chimp voter and a human voter?
The chimp doesn't pay attention to TV.

That's just a myth according to the networks.
Exactly. This is just the darkside attacking freedom by attacking rms.
Articles like this will probably backfire by actually getting more
readers to understand what the GPL is really all about - your freedom.
With lots of spyware so it takes a long time to come up,
and is basically unusable.
They'll move you along quickly with your piece of junk.

I'm not convinced that the 'pretexting' is really the whole story.
I'm suspicious that it is a cover for what is really happening
in phone record land.
Scenario:
Telcos sells call records to company X.
Company X sells call records to whomever including the NSA.
I'll bet you are locked in to some specific Windows applications.
You really need to look into a proper solution, which would be migrating to a more secure OS like Linux.
