Everybody with half a brain knows that MS only stays in business because they have the money available to bribe and burgle their way through the industry. For me it is beyond the shadow of a doubt that some mc folks raised their earnings considerably in conducting these benchmarks (probably the same in those wicked Novell / Solaris tests) , so it should not come as a surprise to anybody that Linux "lost out".
As long as our way of food production is the one ruling this planet there is no way you will make people breed less. Any species, in the light of food abundance, will do what?
It's not an individual decision, however much you would wish for this to be true, it's the behaviour of the global population that counts, and the behaviour of our species has been what over the last 10,000 years? Neither wars nor plagues haven even managed as much as a dent in the exponential growth of human population.
What we experience now are the death throws of a dying culture, a mere reaction to overcrowding, constant population pressure and a vision with it that make man the ruler of the planet, far beyond any laws that might be valid in the community of life. We go on with this, we vanish as millions of species before. We get to the core of the problem and we have a chance to save ourselves (and no, it's not some religious drivel).

Hi,
/.-effect or the provider taking it
;-)
looks like the site is inaccessible either
due to the
down due to too much traffic... here's why:

Server: pickup.highway.bertelsmann.de
Address: 145.228.114.10
*** pickup.highway.bertelsmann.de can't find www.textfiles.com: Non-existent host/domain
bohoo! I remember calling San Diego based
BBS'es on my friend's C64 whose father did NOT
have to pay for his phone bills... those were
the days!
