The OP perhaps should have said that 100 German tanks could take out 1,000 Soviet tanks, although that would also be an exaggeration. Part of the German superiority in armor during the early part of the war was in its tank doctrine (think software as opposed to hardware). Against the French it didn't hurt that few French tanks had radios.
By that time, most of his aides had drunk the Kool Aid. Even the generals thought that Barbarossa was doable. Indeed, had Hitler launched the attack on May 15th rather than June 22nd, he might have taken Moscow and Leningrad before Winter. Whether that would have won the war is debatable, but it might have helped.
I much prefer a touchpad. As far as keyboard space goes, my laptop's keyboard already occupies the full width of the screen, how would increased depth help?
Point Two applies only if the government compels Microsoft to continue operations in the US.
Point Three applies only if the government revokes Microsoft's patents and copyrights, and Rand herself might have taken a dim view of software patents, or else doesn't apply,
Points Four through Seven don't apply.
As for Point Eight, I don't believe that we have a Unification Board, and have the courts been unfair to Microsoft?
Red Hat and VA Linux are results of Linux, not causes. As for sole traders, I took the OP to mean noncorporations. Why do you assume that there could be no noncorporate companies (although the OP may have as well)?
Actually, that it is software is relevant. I don't know if Intel or Ford could be organized except as corporations.
I don't recall the early development of Linux being corporate funded. Indeed, some of those corporations (such as Red Hat) were a result of Linux, not a cause. Is the Free Software Foundation a corporation? If it were (I can't tell from the web site), would it be necessary?
As for "sole traders", I was taking that to mean noncorporations.

The Helvetic Republic was founded in the late 1700's, not at the end of the seventeeth century. Loius XIV wasn't much into establishing republics.

And a gorgeous one at that
Did President Obama ask if Mr. Hodgman was, or ever had been, a Linux (or Mac) user?
Logic sucks, doesn't it?
Yeah, but it would feel better if I wasn't wearing a condom!
The Trojans weren't the ones in the Trojan horse, The were the ones whom the occupants of the Trojan horse killed.
Zeroes was invented by the Mayans centuries before the Indians,
Middle was OK on Opera 9.64. High was sluggish, but I only have 32MB of video ram with no 3Dacceleration.
It;s 100% black in my Operra 9.64. I can also read the source code. The page is basically running three js scripts.
They just complain that they don't understand what PDFCreator is. :s

If it were a competition between Moonlight and Silverlight to implement a neutral, third-party standard, I would agree. But such isnot the case.
languages like C, C++, and Fortran tend to run much more efficiently than abstracted (and usually interrupted) languages like Python and Perl.
Well maybe if you stopped interrupting them, they'd run faster!

So the RIAA picked up some seats as well?
Come on, how is your gibberish any different from the rest of Slashdot?
Yes, among other thing it was used for preparing patent applications.
Microsoft got a Xenix license before it developed MS-DOS.
For taking derivatives?
Besides, businesses don't pay tax. Never have and never will, its just a pass through.
And individuals never pass through taxes by getting higher salaries or lower prices.
1) Every dollar in tax paid by a company came from a consumer ultimately.
But not every tax dollar paid by an individual came from a company?

Not quite real, just due to the fact that Linux downloads don't count towards GDP.

Also don't forget, Linus Torvalds is a US resident, and I'm sure *he* pays his income taxes,
All that does is disqualify him from a cabinet post.
