What does it take for people to realise that so-called "free speech" only applies to State controlled places, spaces,etc., or the privately owned "public spaces". Whether online or in meatspace, private places are under no obligation to allow all and sundry to natter on, or for that matter to sell their goods. It is freedom, and private property (real and "virtual") if you can't cope with the concept, please repeat your 5th - 9th form civic (social studies) classes.
In the US "Bubba" is a normative designation usually for poor, white, southern "cracka" jailbird types. So go try to play your phony "uber-left" emo-punk race card elsewhere.
Given that Ratzinger, formerly of the SS & Nazi Party, while head of the inquisition (office for the purity of the faith, look it up) was instrumental in declaring about 3/4 of the worlds population without hope of "salvation", and more than 1/3 of his own church's congregants as due excommunication for various "horrifying sins" such as birth control, advocating the rights of women & such not to mention his role in justifying the persecution of church members who came forward to reveal paedophile clergy & the church's role in shuffling said clergy about to avoid prosecution, it must be said that he speaks with the moral authority of a nightmare chimera of Josef Göbbels, "Rev." Ted Haggard, & Kenneth Lay of Enron fame. There is great serendipity in the fact that his encyclicals are known as "papal BULL". Anyone on the receiving end of criticism from this ur-hypocrite should direct him to the nearest short (deep water) pier, for a l-o-n-g walk.
Just open my comment again, then click "parent" Argh!, I thought I had hit the parent button, only managed to switch to a previous page view. Nothing like a daily dose chagrin brought on by poor attention to detail.
Yo! Did you read the comment to which you attached your reply post? The quotes in your post appear nowhere in my post (the one directly above yours), not to mention, that my post certainly has an entirely different set of points.
Every US consumer (of pharmacutical products) pays a staggeringly unfair percentage of the r&d costs of drug development. Any country that steals a companies product (drug formulae, manufacturing methodology etc.) should be placed under the harshest of embargoes until there economy goes completely belly up & their people suffer sufficiently to force change. Allowing this sort of rampant, ararchistic & criminal piracy cannot be countenanced; why next thing you know the savages will think that they have a right to circumvent the justly patented genetically engineered sterility of seed crops (implemented by Monsanto & others) so that, in the name of mere hunger, they could actually save a part of their harvest to use in the next season's planting, instead of paying the just price to the agricorp for more seed. This sort of marketplace terrorism must be stopped! Remember we have always been at war with (the) Poverty (stricken).
You're stupidity is futher evidenced by your belief that repetition somehow = veracity. You are a fool and an air burglar whose parents should be hung for crimes against the gene pool.
You're still to stupid to read the original post correctly. Your adamant ignorance obviates the need for further explication. Fix not feature (idiot). DIAF.
Your ability to miss the blindingly obvious is breathtaking. The point is simply this, if IBM (manufacturer of OS/2) can provide a DST fix *free* to all of their customers, why is M$ & Billy the barf bag charging for theirs.? Oh, and your contention that the fix is a "feature"? No person of any standing would ever assert that a patch to bring a (still) widely used OS into compliance is a feature. Of course this would provoke name calling from a know-nothing twonk. As for stupidity, learn to spell, or better yet, actually learn the English language you third-world call centre refugee.
"privative software vendor and is just OK for them to charge for new features.", "just the way they make bussiness and it's no news at all."
I still use OS/2 on several server boxes (never crashed, no viruses, trojans etc.) & was a bit concerned that I might need to migrate them to the "roll your own" version of Linux that we use on our other machines, thanks to the new DST idiocy (thanks congressional bottom feeding pigs). Imagine my surprise when I went to the software updates site (IBM/ECS) and found a fix (free for all users) for all versions of OS/2. So, Billy barf-bag, what exactly is your excuse for charging folks for this rather elementary fix?

Surely Thom Sawyer & his friend Huck both had to have had a hand in wielding so large a brush as to try to exonerate the scum of the CRU.
