So mail servers running on *nix are compleatly uneffected by an increase in mail traffic?...Perhaps when my mail server starts getting bogged down, I can ask all my users to attach a large virus to every one of their emails, so it will run more smoothy.
I know you're being sarcastic, but your sarcasm is inconsistent. If they're unaffected, how could that possibly make it run more smoothly?
Linux is not controlled or owned by one entity but hundreds. Unless they want a, uh, reverse-class-action lawsuit (do these exist) or make a few hundred cases, Linux is fine.
A "reverse class action" is done by first getting a strong judgement against the most formidable opponent. Once that's done, you can visit the others, waving the judgement. The lesser defendants will often concede rather than fight what would likely be a losing battle.
I'll bet that without the GNU tools, 90% of those packages wouldn't exist -- it's hard to do much without a compiler and all the other stuff we take for granted.
So Sears owns part of my house because I used their hammers and saws to build it?

Where do you see Microsoft forcing people to upgrade???
You're right, they don't. Just this morning I went to the dealership to pick up the car I had in for service. While they were printing the bill their computer crashed. When they rebooted I saw that it was running Windows 95.

In the future, try to keep your errors a minimum of two words away from the part where you call someone dumb.

What about an upgrade price for Panther? I just spent $129 last fall for Jaguar.
Look, here's the deal. If you want nice stuff you have to pay for it. That's just the way it is. If you're willing to settle for something else then sure, you can spend less money.
Overrated is useful for those times when, say, some silly comment gets moderated as insightful. Underrated (while admittedly less important) is useful for a normal post that gets moderated as flamebait or troll.

still for a second, the arm distinctly reaches out and grabs it. What I'm curious about is what causes
the arm to stop simply following the object and actually try to grab it.

Oh the irony.
That's like dropping a crate full of automobile parts next to your neighbor's new sports car and saying "see how much cheaper mine is?"
That's fine, except the question wasn't "Name something that's not a mouse."

True, but it's still no more likely that'd you'd actually see it happen.

He didn't say that silence is always better. He only said that he hadn't regretted any of the times that he did choose to remain silent.
Sheesh, Buddy, it's in the FAQ.
Why are you asking your dog to pee in the house?
No chance. This will end with a whimper in a single press release, never having gotten anywhere near a courtroom.
No, we assume the substance, and appreciate the style.

I think you answered your own question.
Well after you catch your balance perhaps you'll give us an idea of how much that is.
They who would give up essential liberty for temporarily less spam deserve neither liberty nor less spam.

Well, there was that NSA backdoor thing that turned out to be nothing. Tough to think of anything else, though.
The cost of the shoes alone would make that impractical.
And as the Irish are so cultured this must clearly be the right way.
