Why is this news, surely there's no invasion of privacy issues, if they're facing legal action for illegal files on their computers aren't they within their rights to punish the offenders?
This is true, for example, what I work on is a fifteen year old gargantuan piece of software where industry knowledge is essential to be able to work on it. (i.e. the code could be totally logic bug free but it still doesn't do what it's supposed to). I can't see how this sort of development could work in the open source model.

I really don't like to get into 'katz bashing' but what was the point and where was the substance?

It's not that strange really as they already sell openvms, digital unix and windows on their servers
Does anyone know if this is his 'final solution' or just some sort of summing up?

Autonomous human beings can - and maybe should - take responsibility for the smaller details of life...
This is one of the most ridiculous statements in the whole article. So it's alright to have gadgets as long as you build robots to use them?
Yet again from Katz, it's not news and it doesn't matter
Cray were the first what?
that's a mighty chip on your shoulder. It seems you've missed the whole point. There's more to life than work and money.
That's surely a joke, right?

I used Windows/286 back in the day. It was nowhere near as stable as OS/2. (I even prefered GEM).
