My spelling may be wrong. I haven't bothered to check. The term, (although possibly mispelled), was correct as to its meaning. There was no need to suggest alternative terms. Your reasoning is fundamentally flawed. You're stupid, get over it and live with it, but don't inflict it on other people.

It's interesting to watch the dynamic that is the evolution of the administration of the net. ICANN is seen by much of the world as to American centric and requiring, possibly a UN governing body to replace it or some other world centric governing body. Perhaps the growing pains of the European Union could offer some lessons as to how to best govern the net. It must irk many nations and organizations to see the administration and future plans for the net played out in American courts.
Tim Berners-Lee saw the founding of the web as a world wide endeavour surely a body as important as ICANN should be under the ageis of the UN?

"He sent a note saying 'I have solved the black hole information paradox and I want to talk about it'," says Curt Cutler, a physicist at the Albert Einstein Institute in Golm, Germany, who is chairing the conference's scientific committee. "I haven't seen a preprint [of the paper]. To be quite honest, I went on Hawking's reputation."
I doubt there are few if any other scientists who could so influence his peers.
What's needed is ink and paper. It's our proven technology for archiving. Micro fiche and magnetic storage devices are now more prevalent than any time before but the book industry and published journals and daily newspapers show no sign of diminishing. And as the article points out newspapers dating back 200 years are still available in the public libraries. Electronic voting protocol is just now hashing out whether a paper trail is prudent. Granted the article rightly points out the need to develop an archiving industry that is able to meet the needs for computers to replace paper, based archiving but as long as hardware development thrives in an open competitive economy the market will dictate the timing of implementing the necessary hardware. Unless some body like the library of congress undertakes financing the necessary hardware and software.
"...the developer community has pretty much abandoned them." "...With the shift in focus to Linux, Novell gains a huge developer base and not just from the open source community. Commercial vendors that support their products on Linux become selling points as well."
Steve Ballmer's famous hissy fit over the trial and tribulations of keeping developers happy spoke to Microsoft's efforts to keep developers on board. Ah they're such a fickle bunch. But the move to open source seems to be a good ploy to bring onboard an entire active community.
"Those who design some computerized products or computer software seem to have no interest in making it easy to do simple things, and will seldom tell you what to do in plain English if they can coin some new jargon instead. They keep adding features in such a way that even programs that were once easy to use become a struggle to deal with, even if you only want to do the same things you have always done."
This goes directly to the geek factor. Certain types of people like to interact with technology, whether it be primitive or in front of the curve. Learning enough about the ins and outs of the technology and production leads to epihanies, eureka moments and generally groking the thing at hand.

Let me couch this in terms more enticing to understand, let's look at the post in terms of beer...mmmmmm beer. Where I live there's a brewer that makes good beer. Sleemans is a brewery that's been around for more than a hundred years because it makes a good brew. The owner of the brewery, a Mr. John Sleeman speaks out in advertisements that promote his brand name while talking about drinking and driving. He says he knows he can't stop people from drinking and driving but that he feels a responsibilty to speak out against it as he is a brewer. I think Mr. Sleemans' efforts are laudatory. While he can't really do anything to stop people from drinking his brew then driving he can speak to the ethics of the situation and ask that people don't drink and drive.
My post simply spoke to the likelihood that FSF/OS organizations may have to speak to the ethics of the product being used is suppresive states. If and when this scenario comes into play the community will have to address the ethics of the situation. simple n'est pas?
As Gnu/Linux makes headway into countries where freedoms are not respected it may come to be that the license will be rewritten to prohibit propogation of the software where it is used to criticize or undermine the state. The FSF/OS community and organizations are going to have to question the ethics of free software underpinning totalitarian states.
I'm curious as to why MS seems to have droped the ball on this one. Especially coming from a company with an annual R&D budget of $6.8 billion. Perhaps the top decision makers have their focus elsewhere and won't delegate big decisions to their underlings. Whatever it's a great opportunity for Mozilla the more so if new users have a good experience and transfer that experience to Linux.
As a canadian I'm not well informed as to the various American legislative bodies, except by way of a few undergrad courses and wide spread readings. We, up here in the true north, tend to see the American governing bodies as just too damn big and requiring lobbists just to get a prefunctory hearing.
Perhaps one of the more telling differences between Canadian and American systems is the much more proactive stance of the judiciary in the American system. Presently there is some debate in Canada as to how proactive we want our judiciary. I see the American judiciary as being empowered and expected to mititgate against such Catch 22 situations as the one the story outlines. Perhaps it would make an interesting Poll to ask/.ers what arm of the government they consider most informed and able to set right wrongs.
Oil fields and microbes come from a theory held by a maverick scientist by the name of Thomas Gold. The gist of his argument ran as follows: "The presence of organic molecules in all petroleum deposits has long been taken as evidence for the biological origin of petroleum. Gold argued instead in his 1999 book The Deep Hot Biosphere that the organic molecules come from subterranean microbes that feed on petroleum deep in the Earth's crust. Gold's vision of a supply of oil and gas that is essentially inexhaustible drew intense criticism from petroleum geologists."

If you're trying to sound anything at least do it as yourself rather than a faceless AC. You virtually stink of cowardice
