"You cannot make money writing or publishing GPLed code. That's why all of the Linux companies are, one by one, failing."
Actually, the reason a lot of Linux companies are failing is the same reason a lot of startup Internet companies are failing. Wallstreet saw a new field filled with buzzwords and hyped the crap out of it. People were greedy and everyone and their dog started some lame Linux company because there were investors foaming at the mouth to get into the action. Believe me, if I was in the position to start peddling shares in my "Millenium Linux" company, I would have, and run off to the Bahamas, laughing all the way.
Time will tell which companies actually had a viable economic plan, which ones were just dreams in the eyes of the owners, and which ones were just another scam used to cash in on idiots with too much money. --
You may be stuck with Dubya,
but be glad you didn't get the Antichrist.
*sigh*
Come back when you have a clue and a valid arguement. All you're doing is making both yourself and I look like morons. You for living, me for dignifying you with a response. --
