China is exempt from the Kyoto Protocol. They can burn all the coal they want and no one seems to care. They can build up piles of nuclear waste and no one cares

How many tort attorneys does china have, how much do they worry over Microsoft's patents?
They're Bush's cameras... oh wait Mayor Daley is a Democrat... I would trust Daley and his croonies with a network of surveillance equipment about as much as I would trust....
Geez get over it people. Sorry but Bush won in 2000 in spite of the Democrats best efforts to make it seem otherwise. Now we have crappy insecure voting machines to help the parties win. If I wanted someone to tell how to think I would listen to talk radio or watch the evening news. I read slashdot for the technologies that matter in life not for more of the mindless political drival that seems to fill our lives during election years. Pardons to Slashdot readers in countries other than the USA.
Fuck Karma Who Cares If I am reincarnated as a rock at least won't have to deal with my users
Sorry but I have to disagree with you on the MS-DOS. Yes MS may have helped start the PC revolution but they also hendered it in order to maximize the bottom line. CP/M worked fine for me and ran on both my Heathkit H-100 and my IBM PC. Applications were portable between the two systems. DR-DOS/Novell-DOS had serveral features that made it superior to Microsofts 6.x DOS. For one it actually would allow for multi-tasking applications and "flip screening." Installing Windows on top of DR-DOS genertated an error message telling you to upgrade (DOWNGRADE??) to MS-DOS. A piece of code intentionally put into early Windows to get people through out their perfectly usable DOS and use MS-DOS. I don't see Microsoft as the Evil Empire in fact I had stock in msft for many years. I sold the stocks when I could no longer morally justify supporting Microsoft's business pratices.
As a Linux/BSD users (haven't had a copy of Micro$oft on any of my systems since Windows 3.x puked on DR-DOS and Win95 crashed twice a day) I have say I agree with you, a license is a license AND morals are morals. Either you agree to the terms or you move on to something else.
Really, our laws don't? You mean we are not the center of the civilized universe? I used to think by voting I could change the world then I discoverd that being a libertarian only meant my_vote >/dev/null. Costa Rica is looking better every year...
My father was a health physicist, I wonder what he would have to say. He died of cancer, not due to radiation exposure, although he was exposed to more than his fair share of "zoomies". It would seem that a defective gene runs in my family that triggers prostate cancer. Any technology that deals with the fundamental nature of universe needs to be handled with respect. I only hope that we learn from Chernobyl. Who knows what this tragedy of science and politics might someday reveal, but for now it reveals just how little we people really do know.
My 10 year old son runs Linux and codes html in a text editor, and is learning C++. I am taking away his computer, buying him a weight set and teaching him how to beat up other kids for lunch money. Then he can go to law school and become an IP Attorney. I don't want my son to be trampled by the bullies and the Idiots. If you can't fight `em join `em
I am so FSCKing embarassed to be a citizen of the United States sometimes. My Grand Father fought in WWI and my father in WWII
My wife was killed in South Korea for this?
Q: What do you call 100 lawyers trapped in a bus at the bottom of lake Michigan?

Mine, I hate my neighbor.
They're Bush's cameras... oh wait Mayor Daley is a Democrat... I would trust Daley and his croonies with a network of surveillance equipment about as much as I would trust....
How about 20 hours un-interrupted replays of NY NY on 9-11-01 along with replays of Bush on top of a fire truck talking to the construction workers...
Let me enjoy my geeky stuff without having to deal with the politics.
Oh yeah I am a Libertarian and distrust all professional politicians equally.
Sold my karma and now ride the bus.
