What I hate about libertarians is that to the last they have no sense of responsibility. They are the ULITIMATE "gimme gimme gimme" party: they want anarchy without being responsible for protecting themselves, they want capitalism without being responsible for the welfare of their workers or the area around their corporations.
To specifically address your point: "corporate rights" are a direct attack on society, which is comprised of -wait for it- MANY INDIVIDUALS. Therefore, corporate rights (which are used to squelch consumer and societal rights with things such as the DMCA) should be very subservient to the rights of the individuals in society.
And your individal joe jackass corporate CEO should seriously be on the bottom of the totem pole when it comes to making decisions which affect LARGE NUMBERS of individuals.
"business" is exchanging goods and services for either currency, or other goods and services. It has nothing to do with "buying out other companies".
Given that they need the money, I doubt it.

EMC To Acquire VMware

I'm serious. If VMWare had the money to put into new reaserach then I doubt they would be allowing themselves to be bought out. The fact that they are allowing themselves to be purchased means that they most likely do NOT have the funds to put into Quality Assurance, much LESS to put into research.
Therefore making it the easiest color to coordinate. No thinking about 'will this go with that' or anything. Just grab a black shirt and black pants and you're set.
Unless you're in arizona; and then you're screwed.

Given how long pdksh had been out, how few features were unique to ksh and the license hassle over attksh (circa 2000, haven't looked since) it is too little, far far too late.
I'm not sure if the parent post is a troll or not; but regardless, the point is valid.
As far as text-based dialog installs go, debians' is fairly straight-forward and powerful as well. If you are daunted by the mere fact of being presented with a CLI -good or bad- then perhaps you should stick to windows or macOS.
Simply because if you're that CLI-phobic, you're going to be screwed the first several times you're faced with a command prompt.

End of story.
Thank you for clarifying that for me.
I did, in fact, mean NIH.
The point of computing is to solve problems, once your problem is solved move on.
This whole "re-inventing the wheel" NIMBY bullshit is why Free Software is a huge joke in the corporate world.
Hell, in Hawaii, Perl would be old enough to have gotten married and have a kid with another one on the way.
God Bless America, eh?
Of COURSE it's going to be the same. What, you think cantwell's going to make any difference? SHE WON'T!!
Christ jesus; slow news day, taco, or what!?!?

The term you are searching for is "geek chic".
And none of these lines will cut it:
"hey, I'm running linux 2.6-pre8"
"wanna be the trinity to my neo?"
"I read on slashdot about..." (notice the sentence doesn't even finish before she's dumped your sorry ass!)
librarian.
are the real thing. (The really gross thing, but none the less the 'real' thing.)
Thanks for helping me test out my copy of IE. It so happens that instead of a gaping anus, I got a factual and unbiased slashdot article.
Keep up the good work!
my 30 day vmware license just expired. :~(

and it's going to be a long-ass time until I can afford 2000.
So here in the boonies; win98 is a long, long ways from being 'retired'.
Since that's all we have, and all we're going to get.
Perhaps what I should have said instead was "text-based interface".

can result in many "small tips" all over the place. Just ask JW Bobbit. ;-)
So it doesn't apply to me either!!!
hmm?
