I read a few magazines - why, because I don't like to read on small screens and like to read in bed, bathroom and other places. With the current cost of subscriptions you are missing a lot if you only read the free material on the Internet. I read: Wired, Time, Discover and Popular Science
According to the article the ones that are talking of breaking off are countries like Russia, China, and some Arab countries, not the EU. Most of the countries mentioned spend their time trying to limit the internet anyway. If they really want to form their own internet there isn't anything stopping them.
It's worse for a small company. Microsoft licenses are VERY expensive and Linux requires a lot of support to get up and going. If it works keep it is more the creed for a small company.
I think the comment that they aren't a software company anymore is very much to the point. If SCO wins they will get paid for each copy of Linux in use. Why continue to develop and sell SCO Unix? If I was using SCO's products I'd be planning on to change on the assumption they won't be supported any more win or lose.
Apple is great for some non-techies who are willing to pay a premium price for a PC. Linux is good for high end programmers. That only leaves enough in the middle for Microsoft to be declared a monoply and have the one of the highest profit margins of any company in the US.
Please see Internet RFC 1149 which was written in 1990. Not drums, but carrier pigeons. I understand there is a linux implementation of this important, but for some reason ignored protocol. See also http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1149.html for important news.
H-1B workers are great for industry. Don't train them, work them long hours, pay them less, then get rid of them when you want. I suggest that the industry invest in training rather than just trying to hire more foreign workers.
I like the idea of song by song basis depending, of course, on what they charge per song. How would you pay for them, credit cards don't work real well for smaller amounts.
