Wouldn't it be better even smarter to distribute software to people that achieves and convince users of the software that it helps to delete child porn from the net or kill some evil internet worms?
Because it makes a difference whether underage persons become "criminals" willfully wanting to crush wikileaks offenders or concerned parents willing to remove child porn kill wikileaks offenders. Seems smarter when an attacker kiddie does not know what it does and why. Screensaver bots with a jumping bunny.
It rather seems to me they raised their own moderation army, so Slashdot gets all these boring Microsoft stories now while other stuff that matters doesn't get through.
Saudi Arabia an absolute monarchy owes its wealth to oil exports, they do not depend on US funding. They are world's largest oil exporter, 90% of exports are oil. 75% of state income depends on oil GDP per capita 23 000 $.
You haven't understood the economics of Islam. Any muslim believer should pilgrim to mecca and medina once in his life time ("hadsch"). In which nation are these cities? Saudi Arabia. In which direction do muslims pray? They pray towards a black stone in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. You can imagine the business value of being in the center of a religion with a billion believers
Saudi Arabia also own Fox news. The Saudi Arabian funding of islamic mission led to the conservative renaissance in many oriental states. After 9/11, attributed to a Saudi terrorists, they used the USA as a tool to eliminate their longterm enemy Saddam Hussein.
Irelands tax evasion policies are not sustainable and they have to stop or... Germans supported the Irish revolution, I can't see how Germany is against Ireland. In reality it is all about the end of neoliberal ideologies, of tax evasion and tax reduction and state aid for corporations. The next Irish uprise ought to sent Charlie McCreevy to a revolutionary tribunal.
Ireland is bankrupt and you cannot expect other European nations or the IMF to tolerate Irish tax evasion policies any more. Sorry, no way google. And if google leaves the EU expect Brussels politicians to get tough on the search giant and it privacy infringements. It is not competitiveness, it is beggar-thy-neighbor. No way. Ireland is one of the worst offenders in tax evasion forum shopping. US tax payers don't like that nor do continental ones. This has to stop of we won't let Ireland off the hook.
Islam is a religion of war, a political ideology. Don't underestimate it. Missionaries are cheaper than missiles.
"An estimated US$45 billion has been spent by the Saudi Arabian government financing mosques and Islamic schools in foreign countries. Ain al-Yaqeen, a Saudi newspaper, reported in 2002 that Saudi funds may have contributed to building as many as 1,500 mosques and 2,000 other Islamic centers."
That is the real reason behind the islamic renaissance.
It doesn't matter who provides it but health insurance has to be mandatory and without quality differentiation. See Stiglitz/Rothchild, "Increasing risk I: A definition," Journal of Economic Theory, 1970, 225-243 to find out why.
There are no people of British origin left under the current totalitarian regime in the United Kingdom. I am not a racist but people can see for themselves. Democracy, human rights, free speech, air planes, cars, air conditioning, medicine and television are no inventions from the UK or US. Democracy performs very badly in the US and UK because these nations are unable and unwilling to fix their elections system. When your system does not fail big you stay with the shitty tradition, the free maison proto-democracy without universal suffrage in the US and the political system of the UK that turned all their colonies into dysfunctional states.
You see, they are afraid of the manufacturers, they sue their manufacturers. That will lead to a commercial war where the Chinese would prevail. Asus and others have the power to invest in Linux to make Microsoft suffer. Imagine the hardware companies dump 40 Mio $ on OpenOffice development, then Microsoft would be in severe trouble. Just gunpoint their cash cow.
So far American corporate influence has just been quite negative. Star Office was a great product from Hamburg unless SUN stepped in. Novell ripped off Suse from Nuremberg and turned the premiere product into something else which Suse users didn't like. LibreOffice takes the product back to sanity after Larry Ellison seems to show little committment to invest in its development.
The term LibreOffice is just good and fair because it sents a clear message to Oracle. Novell's fork is GO-OO but it is no true fork. Because it is a OO.org branded flavour that is shipped with all distributions. In the future Linux distributions will ship LibreOffice.
Exactly, it is not about real war. It is about avoidance of casualties. The Americans may not act like the Russians when faced with partisan warfare. In a real war one would hang those civilian combattants and collect all local guns.
Well, it isn't. While the Soviet zone joined the Federal Republic, eastern German territory is still under lasting Polish or Russian occupation.
The pushing of democracy in the Cold War, along with a healthy cultural push from film, tv, radio and music helped spur the end of one party rule in Eastern Europe.
As did the Soviets provided financial support to the leftists in Europe. The Soviet System collapsed for financial reasons.

Well, Russia still occupies parts of East Prussia and japanese islands. The Russians are fine.
US corporate communism means the corporations steal from the people and control both parties.

Well, apparently ther researchers were paid well...
Indeed that is correct. In nations with low life expectancy comparing people above 40 does not make much sense as it is mostly infant mortality.
You wonder what is going on in the United States, their legal system appears to be pretty much broken.

Who cares about American customers? They don't have to use the office productivity. The American market is not so important.
I mean, it is fine when LibreOffice attracts European, Spanish and emerging markets. Oh, and Linux distributions would ship it by default.

I find this post quite offensive to our legal order. You cannot say that reporting an antitrust incident is "moaning"
And other deterrment methods, hostages, kin liability.

Exactly, this is not about making fancy technology, that is about making money. The only aspect that counts.
If Google gets too annoyed by Microsoft they simply dump 200 Mio $ on Libreoffice and Microsoft would be done.
Microsoft doesn't make much money, except with office and windows. Cut MS-office margins and the company collapses.
ACTA is bringing that to the rest of the World. One Camembert to rule them all.
The bias of your election system that is non-existent in other nations.
Well, it isn't. While the Soviet zone joined the Federal Republic, eastern German territory is still under lasting Polish or Russian occupation.
As did the Soviets provided financial support to the leftists in Europe. The Soviet System collapsed for financial reasons.
And put an end to WWII by murdering the inhabitants of three Japanese cities.
Estonia and Latvia have fascist apartheid laws, denying citizenship rights to one quarter and one third of their respective population.
--> a foreign population that was colonialisising them under Soviet rule.
Lithuania has democratically voted back the commies right after they got a taste of democacy.
--> which doesn't mean a thing. Democracy is not about political preferences but an organisational principle.
