Who cares what you think? What can you prove. Your comments add nothing to the discussion and if you did your homework about the players, you might have learned that Tridge has the capability to do exactly what he says. He has done it over and over throughout his career.
Actually, IBM did sue, but the judge threw the case out of court. There is absolutely nothing illegal about reverse-engineering anything (the DMCA notwidthstanding).
What about 95, 98, ME, CE, 2000 (Pro, Server, Data Center)?
Linux is about the kernel 2.2.x, 2.4.x, 2.6.x
A linux distribution is a bundling of a set of specific applications with a Linux Kernel, each of those is a distribution.
This is like buying a car. All cars have a minimum set of attributes and everying else are options. If choice is OK in the Automotive industry (an nearly every other industry), whay is it not OK for software?
Actually, most of the CO2 in the atmosphere comes from volcanic activity and liberation of CO2 in the mantle cause by plate tectonics. But so what, The Global Carbonic Acid Cycle can handle all that CO2 and more as it is a set of chemical reactions that move toward equillibrium.
Methane! Even better. 1/125 of the timber in the US can be converted into methane to supply enough fuel for all the vehicles in the US except for aviation fuel (Methane does not have a high enough octane level). Timber can be regrown in 25 years so we have a naturally re-occuring source of fuel "forever".
Can it be done? In WWII, the world shut off the supply of North African crude oil to Germany. What did they do? Ran everything but airplanes on methane.
They lost the war but it was not for a lack of fuel.
The bulk of CO2 emmissions are natual. Plate Tectonic activity being the major culprit. Volcanos erupt and sub-oceanic plate move and release the bulk of CO2 into the atmosphere. But then the Global Carbonic Acid cycle can and does handle this volume with ease.
I did not imply that I fixed my browser at all. You may have inferred it.
I was trying to make a point that it is possible to not be effected by this problem while the developers resolve it.
This is all about risk. I have mitigated the risk present by engaging in "safer computing". If they never "fix" Firefox one can mitigate this risk easily.
Let's handle George Seros, first. Mr. Seros tried unsuccessfully to usurp the Russian ruble via currency speculation. He epitomizes this level of scandal and greed you list. Also the Stock market is not the economy (not by a long shot). Let me suggest you read a basic Economics text book prior to your pontificating about the future collapse of the economy.
As to Carbon sinks, please do some basic reaseach about the Carbonic Acid Cycle as to the global effects of human contributed CO2. Most of the CO2 in the atmospshere is caused by out-gassing that happens along sub-oceanic ridges and rifts.
You comments about corn are not correct. Corn as we now it was an accidental hybridization of a grass and a flowering plant. It was discovered by the American Indians. We have created even better tasting, more nutritious and pest-resistant forms of corn. Our per acre yields are way up from our pre-Luddite days.
While not being wasteful is a good thing. I have found nearly as much evidence of environment crisis as evidence to the contrary. Why is it that we think we are all so powerful as to think our footprints on the planet add up to much of anything.
Neither side has all the answers and blindly following anyone is foolhardy.
I hate to sound like some ultra-conservative but what evidence do you have that a "definite environmental crisis looming"?
World-wide we have fewer health problems, more abundant crops and food stores, not the reverse.
We have more standing timber in North America than we did when the Pligrims first landed. Why? better forest managment: trees are a crop just like wheat or corn but with a much longer growing cycle.
Your comments about economic collapse are baseless. Most of the USA econmy is not based upon the ultra large company but the small "Mom-and-Pop" business. What does corporate scandal and greed have to do with them?
The problem with Global Warming Theorists is that they do not take into account the fact that CO2 in the atmosphere is absorbed into sea water and is re-cycled via the carboninc acid cycle. This cycle is held in equilibrium over time (remember your High School chemistry).
It is also critical to understand that most of the world's "production" of CO2 comes not from man but from CO2 outgassing in sub-oceanic rifts and volcanic activity.
There is no reason to panic.

Well actually here is an example from 1997:
The numbers, according to the National Center for Heath Statistics and the U.S. Census Bureau, speak for themselves:
Divorces in 1997 - 1,163,000
Marriages in 1997 - 2,384,000
However, the total number of married people in the USA at the time was 110,600,000.

The often quoted statistic:
In the US, 1/2 of all marriages end in divorce.
The correct statistic:
In the US, the annual divorce rate is 1/2 the annual wedding rate.
The reason that the non-metric measurement systems exist is that for many of them, you do not have to carry a measurement device to get very close to the right answer. For example, length of most men's dominant hand' thumb is approximately one inch.
We (our body parts) are the tool for approximating the measurement. We don't have to carry around any other tools.
Saddam used chemical munitions (last I checked these were classified as WMDs) against the Kurds. This fact is undisputed. So, he has had WMDs in the past. There is no evidence according to Hans Blix that Saddam has destroyed his chemical stockpile.
Please show us a single state constitution where it says that Education the responsibility of that state government.

The U.S. Government is charged with "providing a common defense" in the Constitution. If a satellite can detect a missle attack and respond to it, how is this a bad thing?
This article describes "NetReg" An Automated DHCP Registration System. See the following URL: http://www.southwestern.edu/ITS/netreg/SysAdmin/
This is clearly prior art and needs to be used to challenge this patent.
NO! You are wrong. My son was unable to stand still for the pledge of alligence in Kindergarten. He described it at the time as "rocks rolling around in his head". We have found sucess with him and Ritalin and now Concerta. Within hours of his first medication, he came up to his mother and I and hugged us and said the "rocks have stopped moving".
I don't care what anyone calls this but he is successful.
These sweeping assertions are pure BS. I know what works for him.
BTW, he is now 13 and is a well-adjusted kid and not some zombie or a psycho-killer.
My point to all this is that if someone finds that diet works, super. If someone else finds that something works, that is great too.

I guess that Henery Ford was right when he said you can have any color Model-T you want as long as it is black.
The Automobile industry is a case of nothing but "forks". Forks are good. When you come to a fork in the road pick it up!

The only way to make it better is to produce less CO2 !?!
BS, CO2 disolves in sea water and there is pleanty of that. Do some research on the Carbonic Acid Cycle.
Most of the CO2 is caused not by things breathing but by out-gassing along sub-oceanic rifts and volcanic activity.
