apologies then dood;) i see that so often though, had to respond.
the irony is that australia only became a penal colony when the US kicked the english out and they needed to find somewhere new:D
It's all about cross-licensing. between them the few big companies have all the patents. they are safe with anything they develop, if one violates another's patent they just cut a deal to allow use of one of their own. trading baseball cards.
small developers will be stuck with no cards to trade, so dont try to use a for loop.

it's easy for a manager to go to a microsoft conference and be seduced by the salespeople. to implement a linux solution they have to have some knowledge and do some deeper research. the local LUG just isn't the same as a glitzy corporate MS presentation.
im no chemist but i read that hydrogen is safer than gasoline/petrol if setup correctly. hydrogen got a bad name from the hindenburg, which was a disaster more to do with stupid stuff like coating the balloon with something that happened to be flammable and flying through a lightning storm, than the hydrogen aspect.
well we have universal health care in australia and the highest tax rate is 33%.
it perplexes me how you can justify to yourself the importance of that extra $30 in your pocket each week to spend on crap you dont really need, while your supposedly fellow humans are dying from treatable diseases or not getting surgery that they require to survive with a reasonable quality of life.
liberalism is impossible without universal health care, public education and housing - utilitarian social security. how can people be born with equal opportunities without access to the basics if they are needed.

your excellent argument is wasted on someone with a heart of stone and brain the size of a peanut.

utilitarianism :)
