If we allow linux to change into anything it's truly not (commercial, for the public) then we are truly missing the mark here. Linux was made so desktop users could use a unix like operating system with big unix server functionality. Personally it sickens me to think of people playing games and "Surfing the web" with it.
All this is so clearly shown by the national debt right?!!? I can't believe someone would be as ignorant as to say something like this. Perhaps you don't realize that the US will most likely be footing the bill for reeconstruction of anything that gets blown up? I think you need to realize that income tax should be optional as the original US constitution reads but people like you have misconstrued such powerful choices to read that the US had options of wether or not to require income tax. You obviously don't pay too many taxes or else you'd be singing an entirely different tune.

UN Proposes Email Tax

Are you insane??? Please remind me of our own national debt (US) and then try and tell me that we should help others get on their feet. If you ask me we need to stand up ourselves before we can give others a hand. It is sad when I hear people like you wanting to "give to other nations" perhaps you don't realize how bad it is here. Until we're a perfect nation how can we even think about helping other nations?! It's liberals like you who have thrown us into this debt and burnt our only life preserver. Please stop to think about what your saying before you go and defend what other nations should get from us. Besides, the way they live is their way of life. If they want to change their way of life perhaps maybe they should figure something out instead of filming commercials with Kathy Lee Gibbard(sic) ? Oh no, people in 3rd world countries are starving?!?! people in our country (US) are starving also. Let's take care of our own first.
I am sorry, but as I am for absolute freedom of the net I cannot bear to watch this. First of all I don't really see how it would be possible to "Tax Email" unless they were to tax bandwith because how are people going to distinguish between emails and data flowing over other ports? The UN is getting way too Ballsy for me. They were designed to keep peace and now they have the nerve to suggest taxes??? I am sorry but this just supports all the paranoied rumors I've been hearing about one world governments. The UN does not have any right at all to suggest any sort of a tax! Besides all that why should we pay for 3rd world countries internet connections?! I'm sorry but paying even.00000001 of a cent so some african tibal member can "Surf the web" and play online games seems outrageous to me. Personally if this ever even gets anywhere I'm all for throwing the routers off the side of a ship;)
Ok this guy seems really intelligent... He likes to use a lot of words with lots and lots of syllables but has anyone noticed the lack of research and supporting facts. He claims linux is 30 year old technology and that there's more shipments of Novell than linux but he fails not only to mention where he derives these statistics but also fails to realize that maybe people download linux... no shipping records then. If those points fail to turn your head then maybe you should realize that he compares linux to communism. I have never ever heard of such complete and utter BS. How exactly is it communism? And why does he compare it to not only communism but also eutopianism, is this man stating that a communist society is a eutopia? Maybe this man should step back and evaluate the facts before spewing words from his keyboard.
