If I were to design hardware for a computer I should (for the greater good) provide open source drivers for my hardware (this would not mean I would have to provide source code for advanced hardware engines). This would allow my hardware to be used under many systems (and would increase profits, but that isn't important).
If I were to design hardware for a computer I should not have to release the schematics for my hardware and let others make and sell their own devices (this would decrease profits and might ruin me).
We should stop RMS before he says any more. I don't give a shit about Graphical User Interfaces or ridiculous beards but that attitude is wrong.
I think that is illegal in the United Kingdom as well. We always get advertisements which refer to a competitors product using phrases such as Brand X and displayed in white coloured packaging (its a good way to insult the competitors without being sued for slander).

Ok, I was wrong. But I am not a troll. Who is moderating this place?
Spend the $1 billion on better things. We should try and solve our own planets problems before going out into space.
At least the money isn't being wasted in creating Weapons of Mass Destruction.
The internet will be important in the future but we need to change the ownership. We need a non-profit body to run the internet and not a company.
Here is a link to another story about it.
I posted an innocent phrase which turned out to be flamebait. Should I be pissed off or should I celebrate?
Or we will all be doomed.

During the day it would take some of the energy received from the sun and store it in the batteries. It would then use this energy at night.
I hope those batteries aren't apple iPod batteries.
