I know! I feel so betrayed, the slashdot editors have failed badly in their attempts to bring news of this "SCO" pastry to their loyal readerships. Perhaps if they had posted stories now and again...
No, I still believe that many people believe in the advancement of science purely for the sake of the cause. But these people are asking for government contracts, and the government won't fork out the big bucks unless there's a good reason. And, unfortunately, shelling out big bucks for stuff the comman man doesn't care about isn't good politics.
Exactly! I can't wait until the government tracks our every move and makes the information available to corporations! That should sure totally eliminate all violent crime, and with no side effects, either! Maybe they'll allow us to all have cameras in our home, next!
If all the grunt labor required to manufacture goods and good can be had for such a minimal price, why do we need and economy? We need money right now because it's expensive to buy things like food, shelter, etc, because those things in turn are difficult to produce. But if basic material goods become so low in cost, why do we need an economy at all?
Read the rules. If they're below 176, they need to pad up to that. Otherwise all the teams would be looking for the most withered of all the geeks to be in the cockpit(Though they likely wouldn't have to look far;-))
Yes, but it's exactly the kind of release-date salivating that people do that causes unfinished products to be pushed out the door (well, that and running out of money).
You forgot to factor in that each of those computers has at least three people in the immediate family and 6.3 friends who could be watching it be used!
Hmmm, perhaps their example was chosen because it gave the result they wanted.
Wait a moment, surely you're not suggesting that Microsoft, our Microsoft, is trying to deceive us, eh? I think I speak for most slashdotters when I say that this sort of character assassnation just will not stand!
Based on this precedent, tomorrow I will begin licensing copies of Windows XP, for the low low price of $50 a pop. Remember, if you're not getting it through me, you're a dirty rotten pirate and my lawyers will use our bulletproof claim to this intellectual property to sue you three ways from sunday.

Sad answer to the rhetorical question...
Your sig seems oddly a propos...
Read at -1 and you'll find this isn't exactly true.
How about six months of modded indightful commentary on a major irrelevant newsboard? Does that count?
Uh huh. When was the last time you saw praise for the government buying into MS here on /.?
Is that all it takes to hack into Microsoft's file servers anymore?
Only if you're Mirosoft.

You don't need to go to all that expense. Just drop a few batteries in the tank and you'll be fine.

Seems like Microsoft's programmers have improved Clippy's AI a bit...
Part Two: We will now begin charging for stability fixes.
hmmmmm....
What if you got it from the (Score: 5, Funny) part?
Money, perhaps?
They mentioned an "intellectual property regime". Now there's a regime I'd support changing...

Sure, just force a change on reboot, and the problem will take care of itself.

My pending lawsuit against the toothfairy (illicit confiscation and commercial usage of my (copyrighted) DNA) speaks otherwise!

Yes, but I'm sure the MPAA will be banning those any day now.
