    Short term this might generate more revenue for them but will also dilute their brand and associate them with some crap products.

    Not if they watch who they license their brand to.

    But still, the amount of money made from support is still not enough to fund development.

    Red Hat made $90M profit last year.

    how the hell does anyone make any money off OSS? NO ONE has been able to explain this to me.

    You, sir, must be a Microsoft support technician. The answer you have given is 100% correct and 100% useless.

    There's a difference. The metro in Paris gets you somewhere, even though it is complicated and crowded and hot.

    The mass transit system in LA is USELESS!

    Honda also owns Acura, don't forget... They also make F1 engines. Maybe Subaru could be considered an underdog but I think they're Fuji related.

    On United you can register your Verizon number to receive calls at your seat. 69 cents a minute is a little more expensive but still nowhere near the 3.99 a minute or whatever it is to use that phone normally.

    You think that's expensive?

    I know a guy who is debating whether to spend $200 on a TONEARM FORCE SCALE so he can accurately measure it. He spent NINE HUNDRED DOLLARS on the wires that connect his TURNTABLE cartridge to the rest of the tonearm. Apparently you can spend 30K on just the tonearm, and a few hundred kilobucks on the turntable itself.

    (he doesn't let any wires touch the floor, and they only cross at 90 degree angles)
