The US Government activly "promotes" US commerce interests with grants, tax breaks, and subsidies. The Chinese are just being MORE HONEST about it. In the end, it's the same thing.

Well , i think the people in those south american countrys probably did notice..
A small number of machines in a few South American countries owned by intelligentsia became Linux boxes. The world is now a better place.
I just can not understand why the American government is allowed to fund Boeing, General Dynamics, several oil companies, and Halliburton. Is this not unfair to American and other countries corporations?
Actually, the parent should be "flamebait", and it's blatent. He says it's copies of Ericsson (so what, at Slashdot, Technology must be free, so who cares if it's ripped?), and than suggests it's poop copies. But the truth is that Huawei produces IDENTICAL equipment (and sorry, cell phones ARE more or less disposible now anyway). Get off your anti-Chinese bias.
I don't think that's the way it works here, but IANAL. In general, The Government exempts them selves from allowing people to relieve debts to them in bankruptcies for example defaulted student loans and such. Since The Government makes the laws, they get their $$$ one way or another.
It seems like The Story always hits Slashdot a few days or months after it actually happens.
But...
Actually, obnoxious posing and behavior not withstanding, NetSol does in fact have the most solid infrastructure to insure solid.net and.com DNS. Yes, it's sad. But, it's true.

No, it failed because people want REAL computers, and REAL computers are CHEAP. Why fool around with a toy?
Well, it is Timmy Boi doing the "editing" today! Go figure!
Where do you get this numbe, 1000? It is a significant but SMALL number, but still, where did you get it?

Oohhh Kayyyyy... Semantics.
Yesterday, a free software install-fest happened in 106 cities in 13 Latin American Countries, and no one in particular noticed a thing.

...that the word Cliché is spelled with six letters.

Well, it's just another quality "editing" job by Timmy Boi. What do you expect?
This story is not up to Roland Piquepaille's high standards.
Well, have you ever seen Roland Piquepaille and Jon Katz in the same room at the same time?
No, he's full of shit about DOC. But, PDF is an open format, and anyone can build apps that read and make them.
And GEE! Look what "editor" posted the story!
By the way, PDF is an open format. There are MANY non-Adobe applications, some of them open source (many not), that both read and write PDF files.
Sad or not, good or bad, YOU do not represent the VAST majority of content producers.
No. DRM will never end, because those who actually spend time and money producing content like to pay the bills like everyone else. Simple as that.

...bocomes a patent whore. But Slashdot still loves 'em because they are not Intel!
Thanks for your political comments about abortion. But that is not relevent in this discussion. Go away.
The only thing missing is a Roland by-line...

Well, it certainly does not hurt when everyone else has a BS. But yest, on the road to PhD, and fairly easy to get...
