A lawyer friend predicted the above comment 4 years ago, I made sure to write down the details and dates for the upcoming FUD from the AC. He also predicted that the AC would spend quite some time in the toilet(no, not all details will be given here), at the office, talking to himself in the mirror "I will get an promotion", "I will be picked up in the corp limo, and invited to a party with the big boys". Then my lawyer friend told me that the poor AC would be dissapointed....Time will tell.

Reeding stuff at/. has learned me how to scan text for signs of BS. Reading the quoted text above,
"If you look at the code we believe has been copied in, it's not just a line or two, it's an entire section -- and in some cases, an entire program."
one has to react to the program part. What is an 'program' doing in the linux-kernel?? What does that mean??
I remembered when I read that statement that I quit reading the rest, since it is obvious BS (to me that is).

You aren't very likely to "cut and paste" anything from another OS into the linux kernel and make it work, if you could(with lots of 'wrapping' code) it wouldn't get past any of the kernel developers, simply becouse it would look like crap, and crap wouldn't make it into the kernel. It is as simple as that!
Ok, M$ is giving (will give?) SCO a sum of money for something. Right? Well I would like to know how much! The thing is I was expecting some kind of moneyflow from M$ to SCO, though I didn't expect it to happen like this. But does it matter what the official "trade" is? It depends of the size of the transfer. I belived M$ was behind the hole SCO-suing-IBM-and-everybuddy, from the start. It was *so* M$-ish, and they always thinks they are so clever(sometimes they are), hiding the payment in "licens" fees. ?? Bah. Maybe time will tell...

It seems to me that using vnc causes less load on the client (i.e X-server), than doing it the remote Xwindows way, what I would like to see is vnc on frambuffer.

Also maybe you should move out of your country to a more ruthlessly capitalist society. If you did (and lived on the wrong side of the power divide in both) you might actually be in a position to make a valid comparison.
If I could, (its a matter of a greencard I suppose) I would.
I have grown up (still live) in one of those countries you are talking about. As you put it "socialist or totalitarian states have applied communism to enslave the people".
