    which is private providers who are paid by the Canadian government out of a health tax. If the United States had a single payer system we could save $350 billion a year. It would be a huge boost for small companies.

  9. Re:Not quite what it seems on British Court Rules Against Blogger Anonymity · · Score: 1

    Good catch. But I still think it stinks to expose someone's identity when they wish to remain anonymous. There might be circumstances when public interest would be served by such exposure, but this was not one of them.

  12. Re:I had the same reaction on SAP — Open Source Friend Or Foe ? · · Score: 1

    If a customer has a legacy system in proprietary software, then it may be economic to stay with that solution, especially if the employees are used to it. There are many considerations in acquisition of software.

    to spite your face. Disney thinks that people will pressure their ISP into paying? Fat chance. There are too many other things to look at on the web.

  15. I had the same reaction on SAP — Open Source Friend Or Foe ? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Why can't a company use FOSS when it is appropriate and proprietary when it suits their customers best? Software should not be a religious issue.

  21. Re:I have a very bad feeling about this on Online Vigilantes, Or "Crowdsourced Justice" · · Score: 1

    It would be easy enough to for the real kitten killer to point the finger at someone else to divert attention. Mob justice is injustice.
