Netscape "owned" the browser market by merit (in its moment). Apple DIDN'T stole Xerox GUI and doesn't owns the MP3 market, just the most successful store. DR-DOS was "destroyed" (now being free) for the same reason BeOS went out of business: MS grabing OEMs by "what you know" with a contract that told them something like "only MS-DOS|Windows or no MS-DOS|Windows". And DR-DOS was much better than MS-DOS (just like PC-DOS).
Oracle can take any distro and tune it to their needs. And then launch "the new Orabuntu" (tataraaa) that is just the same distro tuned, period. At the same time they can build packages for any other distro. It would be something like "it runs with Linux. Better if it's with our distro".
Why not add other TLDs? Why not a.mov/.movie TLD? or a.zoo? or.radio? or...? TLDs are just an administrative organization. There can be as many as ICANN/whoever wants. And limiting the number of TLDs only serves to up the price.
The shame is when it could be done right (years ago) making strict rules for every TLD they instead thought with their pockets. Today, every TLD is populated by not related to the TLD domains (org, net, tv).
1Km in US != 1Km in Europe? 1L in US != 1L in Europe?
Yes, there are large distances between different STATES, just like going from Spain (a state) to Germany (another state). But a city is a city. Or is there a "space warp" that makes travels longer in the US having the same distance than in Europe? And here the distance to a market can be the same as the place you live.
And for the bus travel you say, I had to take a subway, a train and a bus to get to work when I was working in Madrid. And where I live now (Majorca) isn't better, because there are only buses and more than half of the city is "blue zone". And if you don't live in Palma (the capital) you have to come by car and park "where Jesus lost the shoe" (spanish, don't know if it translates good) and then take a bus.
So, the problem you have is here too.
The real problem (here and maybe there too) is that public transport is a shit. Too much time between buses/subways/trains, too bad "drawn" the lines,...
Better public transport = less people using private transport.

"No, wait, this time we're gonna make it really secure, and fast, and runs in a wrist watch, and bring you a cup of coffee to the bed. You'll see it when Vista comes out. Forget we told the same with every Windows from 98 to XP":P (or better, XP)
They always say "this time" but always happens the same.
What about a percent of difference from prior art? I know it's difficult to calculate how much differs the new thing from the old, but if the new has 60 points and, let's say, 57 have prior art it must not be patented. Then you'll have to make something really new to get a patent.
But maybe I'm wrong.
...I bet the actual citizens of the EU won't see a 0.01 of any actual money the EU fines
There are the 'fondos de cohesión' (don't know how to translate it) were the EU puts money to make infrastructures in the 'not so rich countries' of the EU. And this is lots of money. So MS money may end up there.
That's right, people doesn't know what 'source code' means just for having a computer. But now it's not about 'source code', it's about money. If 'the industry' says 'throw all your DVDs and CDs and buy again the same movies on BD/HD-DVD' the first question will be 'is there something that wasn't in the DVD?' (I mean, extras and quality). And the answer I think is 'absolutely NO' except for a quality you don't notice if you don't have an HDTV.
Tell someone to throw the DVD s/he bought for 25$/€ and expend another 25$/€ for THE SAME THING and if you're lucky maybe s/he won't tell you to f*ck you.
The different thing about what happened then and what can happen now is that in de 80s computer were "those things nerds/geeks/... use". But now everyone knows at least what a computer is, and almost every house in the "first world" has a computer.

And you think this is expensive???? Here (Spain) we have a "cheaper" price (1.04€ -> 1L => $3.93/gal if my maths aren't wrong)

A) They can sue but they don't sue: they are stupids for not sueing and deserve to be kicked by the shareholders for not defending their IP.
B) They can't sue so they don't sue: they are spreading FUD

Use energy with more efficiency?
When you do your meal you use food enought for 4 days just for a sandwich?
Even worse: shops with air conditioning at full blast and the doors open wide to the street, all the year.
They could use to show what an acronym is.
Look here or here (Spanish) and see if this is enought for you.
