Much of TFA seems to be written from the petition, or vice-versa. It addresses the issues of alienating the FOSS community the way that Novell is planning on doing, and how much of the codebase Novell relies on, will be unavailable to them should GPL3 be rolled out soon.
It's very nice of our government to utilize a secure foundation for the US banking system that can be circumvented by a shovel, chain and a pickup truck.
- java applications are difficult to install
This is the developers problem
- java applications start up slowly
As with any interpreted language, and has been an issue since Qbasic. Accept it.
- java applications use a lot of memory
As many applications do. 20 meg for Soundtool is ridiculous, but with a gig of ram, there is plenty left over.
- java applications leak memory
So do most other applications. If the programmer does not take heed. Again, a very broad statement having little to do with the language.
I like the portablility of Java - something most people forget about when whining and bitching about it. Think about the other applications you use, and how they suck too. The same people that wrote windows are the same ones that have an internal disgust for Java... keep that in mind as well.

Hold that crack pipe a moment - the fact that IE renders PNG files will make possible the ability to exploit this just as easily as if it were on Linux. You are fishing.
Free as in beer? Add your own rhythm section to a bassline? upload as version 1.1, Joe the drummer can download, add drums, upload version 1.1.2. Fuck, I'd do it.
It would be cool to eventually have a modular brain. This monolithic model is problematic in that there are several things compiled into it that I would rather not have compiled in. For instance, that image of Lumbergh fucking Peter's g/f in Office Space.
If we havent decimated our existence or environment by that time. On that note, it will be interesting to know if the ETs want us to find them. It's very likely they know we are here, and want nothing to do with us other than observe how we have pretty much fcked up 60 billion years of evolution in 100 years.
USB is still a little fucked up, but the vendor support *is* coming around. The market needs a customer base to get their ass in gear for compatible gadetry, so why not go grab yourself a distro and boot into the 21st century? It doesn't cost anything, and you can always dual-boot to ween yourself off of vendor lock -in. If that's a little scary, then grab Knoppix, or MandrakeMove which boot and run from cdrom without even touching your system.
That do not believe in digital anything no matter what the reason. Most of em are just narrow-minded and afraid of the learning curve that goes with change.
I say fuck it -- buy two of everything, plug in, shut up, and rock.
Luckily, Microsoft can account for nearly half of all security vulnerabilities in 2003 and they also hold the top 10 spots on isc.org for current vulnerabilites. With stats like this, there will be plenty of feedback for Mr. Hachamovitch to warm up with.
Judging by the "made in china" floor fan I bought last summer (that leaks something that looks like motor oil) and the "Silver" tech support I get that is in broken english and nearly incoherent, I would be interested in knowing where the rovers were made. Surely they outsourced to keep costs down.

Kick some heinous ass.

Pretty good joke. Although a little depressing. ..Kinda like finding out the truth about that Santa Claus hoax all over again.

...100% if you run something else

Everyone knows SCO invented Unix. Don't you people read the friggin news?
Takes a good bit of imagination.. more than I've seen in most of the posts about it.

Oracle won't be lonely with AMD, Intel, Microsoft and IBM over there as well.
Just ask this dude .NET developer license.
I wonder if Linspire is going to get a free
"...online and operational (and works with Service Pack 1!).."
One would think this should be a requirement, it reads like more of a bonus.

..Mixed in with the static was the faint broadcast of someone frantically yelling:
"Goddamit Sulu, sheilds up!! sheilds up!!"

Great, but all that collective knowledge is only going to be available using google then?
any computer can already become my computer

Ok, so that covers the lawsuits - how much money did they make from selling movies?
