I know it has become fashionable to compare the US to Nazi Germany, but you really need to do some research into what Nazi Germany was really like. When you use an over the top comparison like that it lessens your overall point.
Why even bring it up?
You missed my point. I would like to know why your clearly offtopic post was modded "Informative". But I suppose you are too close to the problem to be able to see it. Slashdot has become so biased that people like you cannot even see it. Your way or modded "Troll" it what it comes down to.
Then I'd have to remind you that corruption isn't partisan
I need no reminder of that, both sides of the isle have their corruption, and I like to think I am unbiased enough to realise it. Are you?
Remember for every Tom Delay(R) there is a Ted Kennedy(D).
Only here on/.
If the senator in question was a corrupt democrat then I am sure your post would have been modded "offtopic", but alas here on/. if your offtopic post is left leaning then it get modded "Informative".
What does your post have to do with the topic?
There are plenty of military dictatorships in the world.
True, but how many of those dictators has the US had as many problems with. Two come my mind; Saddam Hussein and Momar Quadafy (spelling?) One's in jail and the other is neutered.
I guess someone else will step up to be the Newspaper of Record. Yes, maybe Newsweek could put something together to fill the void.
Maybe they could even hire Jason Blair to head things up.
From a business standpoint, that would seem to make more sense. But then again, we're talking about Microsoft.
MS may do many things wrong, but they do know how to run a business. Remembering that the goal of a business, in the end, is to make money for its owners and/or shareholders. Not making any moral judgement here, just looking at the cold facts.
Welcome to slashdot!
My god. This is just about the most culturally blind, obviously offensive, most idiotic thing I have ever seen on the Internets.

The debate ended years ago. All I hear now is sour grapes. Open won over proprietary.(From a hardware point of view)

Not to me, they would have to pay "me" to read their fiction.
Yes, It is a plot by Castro to undermine our entertainment industry.
you are getting off pretty cheap, at $15K. I would careful with any move you make, you could easily burn though $15K in a couple of weeks.
I am not sure I want a "Nuclear" battery anywhere my lap.

Sounds like he would fit in just right over at NYT.
Me too.....DOH !
Sounds like the bridge has already been burned, by your boss. I would cut your losses and avoid any conflict and just leave as quietly as is possible.
Just my two cents.
It is likely that this has been discussed between the two companies prior to this. This is just the first time it is going public.
You do remember your on /.?
There are no ladies here, at least none that would be interested.
Oh the Apple ass kissing has to stop, or I am gonna puke.
Somehow I find that a little hard to believe. They want you to think that, so they can create the appearance that they are not a monopoly.
So please stop being the typical mindless free software drone
So please stop being the typical mindless MS drone
Thats why were are referred to as slashdrones
