The terms "athlete" and "sport" aren't mutually exclusive, in my mind.
One can play a sport, without necessarily being an "athlete". Fishing, golf, hunting, etc. are definitely sports, but one would be hard-pressed to consider the participants "athletes", per-se.
Hell, I could call hacking (or cracking, for that matter) a sport, but would YOU consider those people athletes?
Can you project Steve Ballmer onto a wall? Maybe animate it?

Absolutely agree with you on the idea of mandated 'local content'. Some of the stations in the San Francisco Bay Area, as far as music stations, have a small amount of 'local' music broadcast, but this tends to be buried in the middle of the night, with a minimum number of listeners. Would be great to be able to hear local artists getting some airplay on the 'major' local stations. Not only does this get local bands some exposure, but it helps promote the local music scene, creates community, and gets the word out about local shows/events.
Comes down to proprietary, closed-source code vs. open source. Combine that with Microsoft's dodgy "trusted computing" initiative and lack of security overall. Not good. More eyes on the code == better security. Not always, agreed, but seems to be the usual.

We give the Soviets bad chips. They give us TETRIS. Productivity drops to ZERO on both sides. Sounds fair to me.
Ahhhh... Darl will feel the pain of eternal burnination!
