I've had a gutsful of the Licensing shenanigans that's been going on in the Unix world. I love Linux and indeed Unix, but I've had enough of this crap.
I'm installing BeOS on my desktop and car, and putting GNU/HURD on my servers. Fuck SCO, and fuck the Unix world in general for letting it get this far. Can someone with some money please just sue SCO for pissing everyone off?
As you imply, it's a result of large consumerism within the borders creating an imbalance.
The options for a solution are thus:
Reduce consumption
Create artificial balances
As has been said, "The American way of life is non-negiotable". Therefore we go with the second option so Mom and Pop and Bessy-Sue can live the lifestyle to which they have become accustomed. Which works for a while... It's gonna be messy, but if nothing changes, I give the US economy 10 years before completely imploding, Great Depression style
Hynix announces high volume trade agreement with major EU computer retail chains. Maybe. If the US doesn't want cheap good stuff, other countries will be happy to take it.
This sort of carry-on is why many countries no longer give a toss about "free trade" agreements with the US - they're not worth the paper they're written on if the gubment feels so inclined.
It's good to know this type of legislation will be everywhere soon. It gives me time to prepare for my new life as a criminal. I used to joke about becoming a terrorist... I didn't think it would happen without me actually doing anything.

It's only lunchtime, and I'm angry already...
