Filesharers are breaking the law? Damn, I guess I broke the law. I sent someone a program I made from scratch a few months ago. I'll just wait for the police to come get me I suppose...I'm a dirty filesharer...
I don't see the point. Just becuase someone doesn't say that Linux is the Second Coming doesn't mean that they are pro-Microsoft. In fact I said nothing about Windows at all.
He's a part of the government and he is in power. That satisfies the second rquirement of yours. His "agenda" in this case is to keep him on the good side of the populace, so he can continue to stay in power. His actions follow that agenda. That satisfies the third requirement of yours.
The idea is to let the most people know about it. I'm sure not everyone checks out symantec every single day. This probably reached quite a few people who hadn't known about it.
Did I ever say there would be an EULA? No. I didn't. I've written software. I didn't put the code online, so it's closed source. But there is no EULA. Closed Source Software does [b]NOT[/b] mean EULA-ridden. It also doesn't mean Microsoft.
The government would make it, if I had my way. There would be no EULA. There'd be none. Therefore, whoever coded the area that had a problem could be held accountable.
Remember, this is in theory, not 'reality'. It doesn't matter if "both of [my] points" are diametrically opposed to reality. It's in theory. Communism is great in theory, but it doesn't work in practice. Wikipedia shouldn't work in theory, but in practice it does.
However, they can still examine the source to find bugs with it. Hard to spot Buffer-Overflow soon turns into a nuclear missile launch. Hyperbole, sure, but it shows the point.
Because they [i]would[/i] know who was the guy who made it. With open source, there's a chance that they would know. They might have a name (for open source), but they wouldn't have any other way to hold whomever accountable. With closed source you have an employee and their data.
It increases unemployment in the local economy. If there was total laissez-faire trade, China would have a lot more companies clammering for space to build factories. All those factories moving to China would make unemployment rise. So yes, it would hurt the local economy (since all those unemployed had little money to spend), and unemployment would go up. Atleast in the short-term.
Now that China is letting woman workers have a 15-minute maternity leave, I'm sure businesses would be glad to move there.
Was this happening during the Clinton administration? I seem to recall all this illegal spying on American citizens happening when Bush was in power...

This is about Ubuntu. Not Windows.
Isn't the ability to print and get on a wireless somewhat important for a desktop computer?
Not quite sure why you gave it 'excellent' when those important things didn't even work.

How odd, I didn't even notice that until you pointed it out. I knew that it said "by the way", but I didn't see the "BTW".
I've read "Purloined Shadows" a few times, and I still think it's a great story.
I've also read "An Incident in Necrom", probably my favorite TES book, about 5 times.
(...and yes, I have had multiple girlfriends.)
...I hate mixing up the brackets.

Valid point.

But then again, would you want your government and military running something that anyone could change?
I for one would rather have a closed source product, where people could be held accountable for their mistakes.
It's politics, it's not supposed to make sense.
I never heard of it. I'm willing to bet not a lot of others heard about it too.
What are your reasons for canceling your account if MS takes them over?
For all we know, one of Microsoft's "Security Patches" could also been the NSA's security patch too.
I perfer my women to not have any viruses or any Trojans stuck in the backdoor.
There has been a 'cloaking' device made before you know.
Pics and everything.
The phrase "Blue Screen of Death" will take on a whole new meaning.

GIF sure seemed to work quite well.
Yeah! Why don't the editors know all manners of useless trivia!
Wait, I thought it was American to be fat, stupid, and violent?
Atleast that's what I figure from seeing my fellow countrymen.
Subtract the cost of the Wii from the cost of the PS3, and that's the number of reasons you have to not buy the PS3.
