I remember buying 1000's CD when they came, with promises of full, quality digital recordings for life. - Then my cd's started breaking after a year or so. - Then the internet happened, and the recording industry started selling digital music? Hell no. That was 1990.
Its now almost 15 years later, there is VERY LITTLE to buy digitally, unless your AMERICAN, and own an IPOD.
In the meantime, I have payed dozens of extra taxes on my data cd's, to immoraly sponsor a dying industry.
GIVE ME MY ALTERNATIVE ALREADY!
And untill then, and untill I have my data cdr's taxes back, Ill feel completely morally right to "violate some copyright" which is NOT a crime.
To be honest, the whole copyrights thingie is a moot and ancient law product that just DOES NOT work in a world of perfect costless digital copies. Its the LAW that needs an overhaul, not my morals.
1. Write a virus 2. Include some obvious spelling mistake your foe regularely makes 3. send out via cybercafe, aol temp internet connection, wha-ever strikes your anonymous bone. 4. Be a Rat
And I guess, you have the expirimental data to backup you claims, that higher-than-lightspeed space-time shocks, do NOT behave like waves-in-air causing friction?
My guess is that the ave slashdotter really cannot try to explain mon+pop what the flip SCO is doing. They installed Linux on mom+pop's sodapop accounting system long time ago BECAUSE mom+pop could save money there. Theyll just wait till the whole thing goes wizzbang-a-way and becomes moot, or Linux becomes magically un-free. (Yeah right, over my cold dead grasping white claws)
First we are supposed to not go to Forbes for writing a troll. Obviosuly, we were then "Zealots" for not wanting to read trolls.
Now we are supposed to read this troll? WTF? Apparently it is not ok, to believe in Open Source "an-sich" as the author then claims youll be either a linux priest or a terrorist.
Put the trolls in a cage, let them yell "Zealot" at each other. Spare _me_ these nonsense.
Sure, sure, spin it for your own consious. The fact is that all the other reasons boiles down to "we dont like Saddam, he really is a bad guy you know"
And people generally do not think thats a proper reason for war.
Why, you think, do Americans in polls think that Saddam was really behind 9-11?

"I consider myself to be very technically inclined having programmed in VB for the last 8 years doing kernel level programming"
If there ever was a troll give-away, it is this line.
KERNEL development in VB?? Is that why "Longhorn" will be late? Excuse me, but your either full of it, or you will NEVER be "technically inclined"
Perhaps you wrote some lame Winmodem driver in VB, and consider that Kernel-level??
Excuse me, while I go laugh at "technically inclined cuz I a VB leet" Muahahaha

No he is not.
If I were to describe Forbes as Lying Nazi Greedy Capatalist Pigs, _I_ would be modded down rightfully as -1 troll.
The article, and I have read it, is basically a troll on that level.
Stating that the article is an "opinion" is saying that the BOFH attitude (see thereg) is an "opinion".
It is not. Its a lying bastard troll article, and is NOT newsworthy.
