While I know that even in our hi-tech armed forces, shovels still play a key role, I was under the impression that cigarettes no longer were considered as acceptable as in the past. That they don't call out "Smoke 'em if you got 'em" anymore.
before referring to something as social engineering. Asking seems more to qualify as "fallen/low fruit harvesting". I mean, did they at least put on fake mustaches? Hold official looking clipboards? Take notes while going "Hmmmmm"?
Keeping networks open allows us to properly monitor them, to ensure that they haven't been compromised by terrorists. And allowing ISPs to properly profit from providing such a valuable service is protecting US business interests, which protects the country. And installing those monitoring/tracking chips in your skulls while you sleep protects you, both from kidnapping by non-governmentally approved organizations and thought crimes which can come unbidden to the inproperly trained.

Just because Microsoft is doing something doesn't mean that everyone needs to set up their soap box.
Actually, usually we do. Especially in this case.
...he would see that Microsoft is actually giving a leg up to the little guy in this case. ...give a chance to indie films to get on screen at a much cheaper rate. ...they're also helping to create competition for Hollywood.
Wrong, wrong and wrong. Microsoft is using a weak "partner", Landmark Theaters, and a weak supplier, independent filmakers, to try and establish themselves as the digital standard for movies. This is a battle with Quicktime and Realplayer on what the standard will be, not with the MPAA. If the main industry is foolhardy enough to fall for this, I can already see the wacky licensing terms Microsoft will impose once there is no competition.

Ha, ha. You joke. Is good.

For a second, I actually thought you were serious when you described OSS as being "Broken software that requires babysitting by elitist gurus". But is too silly. Too over top. You forgot to include smiley.
Your MS experiences shines through. You see, OSS tends not to be broken long because the people who use it/need it tend to fix it quickly. At MS, it isn't broken until they say it is, and it wouldn't even be broken if you'd just upgrade.
And companies using OSS don't spend 50% of their expenditures on IT, silly. That's Microsoft licensing and having to hire all those MCSEs. OSS cuts IT costs.
No, you don't understand

Helping us to force your young, weak IT sector to pay ridiculous licensing fees to us will cause your IT sector to grow tenfold in a year.
Also, tithing 10% of your monies to our ministry (the Church of BSA) will return your monies tenfold. The Lord Bill has said so. So let it be written, so let it be done.
glossed over and ignored to this point in both projects. Just because Microsoft has cut both off at the legs yet doesn't mean that they can't and won't.
only a subset of the.Net Framework that makes it possible to share data with applications on other operating systems. No software for defining a GUI, no database access. Pesky little things like that.
do you perceive that legislators are aware of the extraordinarily broad negative implications of these new telecommunications laws that are being proposed/enacted?
Also, if you are aware of it, have the hardware/software manufacturers who will be affected joined together to fight these laws, or has it flown under their radar?

That's my theory: Throwing (paper) money at me will solve the problem. And just so you know, I patented this theory, so it must have merit.

In some cases, literally.
Drudge has worked very hard to ensure that everything he reports is a great big load, and your comments cast aspersions on his efforts.
Shame. SHAME!
Now are you concerned? Hadn't realized what you were facing before, when you thought it was grey goo. I hope I've made my point.

Did this theory have a life before the movie, or are you just referencing it?

Considering the day, there is one team that they have written a story or two about that you might have heard of.
Wacky headlines and sports coverage, however, are their forte.
