i agree: the need to pass laws and mandates for using open source software is not the most desirable option.
my main point is that maybe, possibly, hopefully, the rest of the world is giving up on their dependence on M$ products, and searching for a better way.
Not only the 777, there many other things that make America great. Think of the Corvette (beat it for the money), the pickup truck (any brand), guns guns guns, and the modern PC industry (i know they're not made here, but they're thought of here)
oh, did i forget to mention engineering (all modern iterations)
Yeah, and sissies like me need them, since we dont have the financial resources of, say, Micro$oft. A warranty is cheap insurance when you have to work several weeks to raise the scratch to buy one.
Sure, it's cool, and it might make your tower the Swiss Army knife of home computing, but have they ever heard of that little thing called the (gasp) warranty? I know that i might be ranting about something that expired a year ago, but to me, warranties are worth their weight in gold. (probably because i have the tendency to break things)

not to be a wet towel, but how in the fuck is supporting open source being anti-american.
wasn't america founded on the principle that the people should have the choice to buy/sell/use/live/work what/where they want?
please, keep it in your pants next time

hey, we can all hope
i am pleased to see government agencies mandating that open source software, or at least software that wasn't written by micro$oft goons be used.
maybe they're beginning to see that there *is* more than one company out there writing software.
or maybe i'm asking for too much
w00t!
d9... you should see the dd9, that one is 2 d9's, one mounted to the back of the other, with the controls slaved together... bliss...
