By their own account, Linux has gone from a cancerous, unamerican toy to the greatest single threat to Microsoft in about one year. Just extrapolate the trend lines - at that rate, MS will NEVER be able to catch up! In another year, Linux will be bitch-slapping god around!
This isn't copyright specific. I want to provide for my family and friends. And upon my death I want the people who supported me to have my stuff as a final thank you, it is my stuff, it is my right to do so.
My feelings on the issue are also not copyright-specific. I think the best possible kind of tax is the inheritance tax. It's consistent with the concept of a meritocratic society, and discourages the emergence of "dynasties" within a democracy.
The author is so blinded by his distaste for the US that he's incapable of rational thought. And he displays his stupidity for all to see on The Register.
Yeah, that's right, Brown - hand control of the Internet to your politicians. Then everything will be perfectly fine.
Ah, gotcha.. so you're saying you don't understand reality or logic, and probably never will. That's cool, to each their own.
Gee, I just don't see it. Maybe you could diagram it for me? Seriously, I'm not sure I see the logical inconsistency or the lack of touch with reality you refer to.
Have fun in your little fantasy Dr. Doolittle world...
It's pretty simple: I think people should leave animals the fuck alone. Where is the element of fantasy, exactly?

Guess I'll have to migrate AGAIN, back to IIS!
We've got bigger problem's to worry about.

Too fucken bad. Let your kids earn their own living.
Copyright law doesn't exist to enrich your spawn for all eternity.
Nope, they run on unleaded gasoline.
Ogg is most definitely "there yet."
Have a listen.
I think it's disgusting that someone would compare them to Microsoft.
yeah, that's pretty sad - even *I'm* discouraged...
Don't they know that Linux is a geek OS that's already dead on the desktop?!
alas, what's the world coming to when you can't call someone a toadie apologist scumbag during the course of polite conversation.
Just spray water from a garden hose into your system every couple of days.
Oh fuck off you toadie apologist scumbag.
The article pretty clearly says the NSA backed off on its work because of political pressure from Microsoft.
I, for one, am glad they haven't thrown away that distributed processing power on something trivial like curing cancer instead.

Well, there is a "Death to Bill Gates" t-shirt on underneath...

Looks like Microsoft has found its perfect partner in crime.
I believe the terms were that it run on an *unmodified* xbox.
Where's the W3C on this one?
Or how about an engine that runs on the rended fat and bones of Microsoft executives?
