Maybe someone should sit Sen Hatch down and slowly explain that the reason he's not making money from his music is not that it's being copied but rather that it sucks...
"So why shouldn't we rely on a convicted monopolist with a track record of utter failure behind it to keep our national computer infrastructure secure, too?"
Did someone recently define utter failure in a new way I was previously unfamiliar with?
1) They sell a lot of products
2) They make a lot of money.
Last time I looked, that was still success in America.
What you're saying is VHS is an utter failure and betamax was a success?
Blah, you're not wrong, but an insane amount of the problems I've chased for people involve bad 3rd party drivers for the framitz device that people just had to have the latest and greatest for. Having done driver work on several platforms, Windows is a PITA, but not the hardest out there. It's just that the truth is there are waaay more devices supported for windows and some of the people hucking drivers over the wall are pretty lax. (I've seen some pretty bad small distro *nix drivers too.)
Hmmm. I seem to have strayed into logic. Brace for/. smite

Wow. That's revisionist even for /.
Is JFK still running for re-election in your world?
Stop that. I thought it was against the slashdot credo to make sense.
