Well, even if the rumor was true, I don't think he would publicly say anything, if only to protect what is left of OLPC. If he did say anything, people would just call him selfish and uncaring for the children he wanted to help.
How much coverage is there around our little sphere in terms of looking out and observing into space? ie. how much of the earth is currently blind due to lack of equipment?
Well I don't share your dislike for China, actually kinda like the country as a whole, and don't dislike their government any more than the government of the USA, but i digress. That Novel and Microsoft is involved, and that someone even thought to place a hyphen between the two is far more telling.
Stop pointless speculation in the summary. This isn't CNN or Fox news. Just give us a summary of what the topic is about, give relevant links, and allow us to form opinions. Thank you.
I am sure the RIAA/MPAA FBI/CIA would _love_ to have a firewall across the USA.... for all I know maybe they do. We know China has one because they are pretty transparent about it.
No one beats the USA over the head for the shit they do... why does everyone want to gang up China? At least the Chinese government keeps things mostly local.
I load MS Office on a foreign computer every now and then, but haven't noticed it that much snappier than OO.org? How much faster is it? relatively speaking.
It also has the great effect of making a person feel like they are paying X for MS-Office instead of the usual Y (X Y). And so reduces the apparent need for cheaper software. But I believe people have the right to pay for expensive software.
A discussion about RPM and DEB, and suprise suprise, you mention Apt but not yum. Here's a tip: `yum localinstall RpmIManuallyDloaded.rpm`. The size pool of apps have little to do with RPM v. DEB as far as I know.

Yah, too bad for the whole point of freeing the world for the domination of a single US software company.
Yes... it turns on an axis however.

I don't know, but the summary I read didn't claim it was 122,000 bugs, said it was 122,000 errors. Unless they changed the summary after you read it.
And see how well that turned out.

Wow wow... hate is a bit of a strong word.
A bit defensive aren't we

To summarize: those of you reliant on Microsoft, bend over and grab those ankles.
At least let your wannabe police overloads work for the data they need to rule over you.
Tomorrow is Hitler's birthday I think... interesting guy... can't agree with his methods... but had some interesting ideas.

If you had reason to believe the buyer would use it for a criminal act, I suspect you would be at least brought to court on the matter.

I guess, as long as a wayward piece of junk doesn't fall on some prized property of (America|Russia). If it takes out some villager in Africa?

So you're saying the reason to not do it is because it is difficult and expensive?
Well you (people who paid for Office) gave the cash which helped to fund OOXML and the possible destruction of ISO
No I don't. Maybe if it has something that I need I would, but it doesn't so I don't.
ie. to start removing trash from orbit around us. It isn't as if the trash is providing significant shielding to us.
Will you contribute to RedHat and Fedora's legal defense if/when they are sued?
