"cleanup" worms are still bad. Since the original worm didn't do anything except attack a domain name that's no longer in use, the cleanup one may even be worse.
And how long before they start tracking everyone in this way? Sure, it seems okay when you apply it to faceless masses of homeless people, but soon they'll be tracking all of us like this.
It was the original BSD license, though. The one with the GPL-incompatible obnoxious advertising clause. The copyright notice has been changed as well. So there is copyright violation here, though it's doubtful SCO can claim monetary damages from it.
Maybe you think OpenOffice.org Writer and Koffice convert MS Word documents "just fine," but do you know what saves MS Word documents even better? MS Word. Sometimes those few things the conversion filters still mess up are important. Though they do work most of the time, conversion filters aren't perfect, nor are they the easiest or best solution.
Besides, last time I checked OOo didn't support WPS Office formats. Does China have local competition in the word processing market? Is there a Chinese Free Software movement? If not, why is anyone going to write a conversion filter for these formats?
This is actually a good point. We humans have basically trashed our own planet. What gives us the right to go trash other ones? Before you know it, the whole solar system will be a mess.
Except that phone calls are disruptive, because they actually make something ring and you can't filter them out. Get a sense of proportion, why don't you?

Nothing? The 2003 version only runs on Windows.
WPS Office isn't free software.

Manned space flights are dangerous and unnecessary. Unmanned spaceships are the way to go. That way no humans die, and it's even more efficient.

Plenty. What rock have you been living under for the past decade?

Welcome to 2003. If I can't turn it off, it sucks. I guess they haven't invented "usability" yet in your time, have they, shithead?
Fuck Flash. Ever plan to make a site that doesn't require shit plugins?
