    Which, in the end, will only cost them 1 million in "donations" to win the higher court appeal. That, or services of some smartass lawyers. :(

  4. What Linux!? on Microsoft Axes 'Get The Facts' · · Score: 5, Interesting

    "Compare Windows to Linux"
    Even in the earlier campaign they just refer to "Linux" in the print advertisements and they never specify which version of softwares on which version of distribution that they have compared (Once they had compared Redhat Linux 7.1 with Windows XP!).
    It is time that responsible people from Linux Mark Institute take a note of this and sue them for libel!

    San Fransisco has been part of scandinavia for some years now! It is one of the United America's of Scandinavia (UAS).

    Stupid! As if there is no law and order in Scandinavian countries! On the contrary, it's USA which has law and order which can't even be compared to Iraq under the despotic rule and it is these leviathan corporations which threaten creativity and freedom and not any companies from those rogue nations[as branded by US' dictators and propaganda machines(aka mainstream media)]!

    Apple seems to be fast replacing Microsoft to be the witchhunting monopolist behemoth. :'(

    Call me a cynic but, I find these Anti-AIDS/malnutrition/TB campaigns by Gates Foundation to be yet another marketing gimmick of Mr. Gates.

    Why did Gates Foundation decide to concentrate on these campaigns only after they bought a significant stake in pharma companies like Merck and co. ?

  10. Re:I don't get it. on Google Lawsuit Exposes Microsoft Offshoring Deal · · Score: 1, Interesting

    For Linux, transnational developement is carried out through co-operation with each hacker voluntarily contributing his/her skill.

    For Microsoft, it is more of a legal requirement; if they have to sell their goods to China, they have to give employment to their citizens.
    In the process, many developers who may have actually created that piece of software on which outsourced employees are working on, are kicked out of the company to make room for outsourced employees.

  11. Re:weak answer from Tridge on BitKeeper Love Triangle: McVoy, Linus and Tridge · · Score: 0, Troll

    Larry McVoy is the criminal not Tridgell!
    If Torvalds never, used BitKeeper and promoted it, Mr. McVoy would have less head weight.

  13. about stickin' on to SCO on Deciding Between SCO and Linux? · · Score: 1

    If your firm decides to stay with SCO for may be various reasons like getting "corporate" support, or they may have been misinformed about the current lawsuit by SCO charged on IBM about the "misuse" of their code in Linux. Firstly, we're damn sure that SCO would under no circumstances win this lawsuit. Even "if" IBM settles the case off the court...do you think SCO would still remain as an unit of the IBM as compared to their acquired companies like Lotus and Rational ? Definitely not, they are sure to fire all the Ex-SCO dudes....Only dirty top scums like Darl McBride would cash in this if ever a off the court settlement happens. If you end up investing money on that stupid OpenServer not only you'll paying huge money for that crap and that too with SCO sinking in...your money will be gone down the drain!
