    They could even release on a GPL and then no state would have any advantage in waging war and world would live in peace. Hoorah for open source, saviour of mankind.

  3. Re:What do you think it would take to get Microsof on Open Source in Government: Newport News, Va. · · Score: 2, Insightful

    They also like to go with the biggest back-handers so don't write Microsoft off too quickly.

  4. Re:12B is chicken scratch on USA To Return To Moon By 2015, Then Mars · · Score: 1

    Patenting and licensing things does get you lots of money, however.

    But as has been demonstrated many, many times this in itself stagnates technological advancement and so leads to economic decline.

  5. Re:Wait a minute on SCO Files Response To Demand For Evidence · · Score: 0, Troll

    It's rather like the forty days and forty nights thing in the bible, absolute bollocks.

  6. Sounds familiar on Core PHP Programming · · Score: 2

    'I can't claim to have read every page or run all the code examples'

    Well I didn't read the article. But seriously though, what kind of review can you expect from a reviewer who can't be bothered to read the whole book?

    Vapour Support.

  8. Re:They will drop it where appropriate... on Where Will IBM Drop Windows? · · Score: 1

    So it is being implied here that tasks that can be processed by 'Kernel-level Excel Macros' in a Microsoft Windows environment cannot be carried out by any other means on any other platform, am I understanding that correctly?

  9. Re:They will drop it where appropriate... on Where Will IBM Drop Windows? · · Score: 1

    Spelling flame aside

    It was intended as a pun, but I guess they're not noticed unless enunciated with italics or or quotes, and not funny if you have to explain, I'll try harder next time. Nice follow up though, thanks.

  15. Re:This is nothing new on SCO - What have WE Forgotten? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The question is; do you want to feel good about yourself or worship at the alter of Mammon. If the soul purpose of ones life is to die with as much money as possible then perhaps one may regret not buying SCO stock. But consider all the honest companies that may be lacking investment due to this anomaly.

  16. Re:This has been done before on Stardust Apparently Successful · · Score: 1

    I don't think Aerogel has been used to collect comet dust before. Or maybe you know different?

    At the time, however, the company did not specify which products it would continue to support.
    No, the best companies keep their valued customers guessing.
