90% of Windows Users are not going to bother looking at the source first
Good point, but I think you a little off. I would say 90% of Linux users will not look at the source that they compile if they even opt for the src. The figure for Windows users is just going to be a long string of 9s.
"If you are 20 and you aren't a communist you have no heart.", but it continues "if you are 30 and you still are a communist, you lack rationality".
In America, the saying goes "blah blah blahLiberalblah blah blahConservativeblah blahSTUPID!"
Funny how Europeans can throw around a word like communist and not have to worry about the connotations. This dude seriously needs to watch his back for Ashcroft.
No kidding, especially when almost all the people involved in energy production get thrown out of work. You know, like the people making enormous amounts of money to do dangerous offshore drilling, etc.
Do you really think it is an economically sound idea for people to drain "enormous amounts of money" from the economy to provide a service that can be rendered obsolete? While you make a lot of good points, I think you should consider the economy from a consumer-driven model. If we can make power cheaper, nothing but good will eventually come from it. (NAFTA devastated local economies, but what it provided to US consumers in the form of more buying power more than compensated.) And that's not even considering how it would transform our trade deficit into a soaring surplus. And that's still not considering environmental impacts.
