Perhapes people who wants to watch violence and sex free movies should stick to G-rated movies. Imagine watching movies like Matrix, Saving Private Ryan, We Were Soldiers, etc, with violence removed.
I convinced my management to start replacing some of the Windows server with Linux and lack of Gator, AOL, Bonzi Buddy, and Realplayer for Linux didn't prevent them from approving the change.
But the problem is that if this becomes a law, it may hurt the little guy more than the big business/public figures. For example, let's say John Doe creates a personal page that says, "Hatch sucks big donkey dicks". Hatch himself or someone from his office could write pages of pro-Hatch paper that amounts to nothing more than a politcal ad and force John Doe to post it on his own site.
" Politicians and media in the US live in a free haven from public backlash."
Why do you believe that politicians and media in the US live in a free haven from public backlash? There were plenty of anti-Hatch remarks on the Hatch./ article.
"Compagnies like Microsoft can bash linux as a file server or Java as a viable programming language and Sun and the OSS community can't do anything about it."
Of course you are allowed to and I wish more 'disagreers' gave more rational opinions like you then the usual "Oh U.S. sucks because they do" argument.
Perhapes U.S. does get too involved in the other country's affairs but since French troops are getting into firefights in Congo, U.S. is not the only ones who do.
Yes indeed, we should be more like U.K. and put camaras on every street corner. More maybe more like France and screw public workers out of their pensions.
"Im watching the US miltiary might, coupled with an Arrogant Ignorant and Disinformed Populace and Im waiting for you Yanks to start WWIII."
WWI started by Germany and U.S. helped to end it. WWII started by Germany and U.s. helped to end it. What can't an arrogant and ignorant asshole like you see the pattern here?
I'm not sure about that. Microsoft gained sudden interest in UNIX technology lately and I won't be suprised if they start $$$$ to license various SCO IPs.
"Not to mention, the french ones work like 35 hours a week and are really uptight and uncooperative."
And now their public sector workers have been striking due to the prosed pension system reform, otherwise they may face 43 billion euro shortfall by 2020. They think that the government can make up for their slacking but you can't create something from nothing. For the compelete story, follow this link.
Best of luck to you! I started a side business myself and although it's time consuming and the risk is high, the thing that motivates me is the fact that Michael Dell only started out with $1000.
1. Many of you are complaining that you are putting in 60+ hours at work for low pay. May of you also have ideas on how a business should be run. Why not combine your willingness to put in great number of hours and great business ideas and run your own business?
2. We as consumers put mom and pop stores out of business because it is cheaper to shop at Wal-Mart, Costco, etc. Then why are we suprised that businesses are laying people off for cheaper labor overseas?
3. If we tax the shit out of businesses, won't they encourage them to cut costs by laying more people off?
4. For people who invest, do you not invest with hope that you'll make money off of your investment? Since share holders elect board members who in turn hires CEOs, why are you suprised when CEOs act in the interests of the shareholds?
Actually the States are raising taxes and fees which will pretty much wipe out the federal tax cut so we'll neven be able to find out if the Bush tax cut will be effective or not.
"Tell that to the currency traders who have been dumping dollars for euros like mad over the past month."
I believe that it's a good thing because it will lower the value of dollar. U.S. always had a trade deficit and yet the value of the dollar remained high. Now the dollar is devaluing like it should have and hopefully will fix the trade deficit and large export of U.S. jobs issue soon.
The problem is that many pepople on/. has excellent ideas for how other people's businesses should be run but are too lazy and/or unwilling to take the risk of running their own business.

Maybe their MP3 files contain Hatch's "special" program.

And do we not bash Microsoft regularly on
"Can you say Gulf Wars."
Do some research and you'll find out that Saudi Arabia asked for help.
" I'm sorry, the U.S. only helped end WWII after they were attacked, before that they were sitting on their asses picking their noses."
So you bitch about U.S. getting involved in other people's businesses, yet you have problem with U.S. trying to stay out of WWII? Make up your mind!
"It would need a leaked email or something to start the ball rolling on an investigation"
And that's why M$ wants to put DRM on office so outside sources cannot legally read it and illegally obtained evidences are inadmissible in court.
We don't need to do a DoS attack against SCO. Break into their system using their own password! It is "12345678910"

And that's why Apple will never have a shot at gaining market share against Microsoft, unlike Linux and *BSD.

I'm pretty sure AOL, RealPlayer, and Bonzi Buddy will find a way to crash QNX.

And if you do, Microsoft and SCO wins.
Most job postings in my area requires years of experience so I believe that "hiring manager" is in the minority.

I suppose if you take a bolt from Dodge Viper and put it on a Geo Metro, can I call that Metro "Viper Based"?
"They nerver really kept the posix compliance up as posix evolved though."
And that's why OS based on NT Kernel should not be called UNIX.
