Of course nobody wants to sell support on Novell: It's Tough to Make Money with Open Source, "Keep it Proprietary"

I am not saying that software patents should be upheld as a matter law. However, they currently are and the way to change that has nothing to do with the court system. This is an issue to be decided b ...

No pun intended. I hope they succeed, but I just don't buy that they will. Also, I have to wonder what their angle is. As has been pointed out before, Google is not a technology company. They are an a ...
What exactly is dishonest or misleading about this? on Microsoft Gets "Creative" with Anti-linux Training Materials

Posted 08/31/2009 at 12:17:34am
The thing is, the president does not have the authority to impose Marshal Law. The Congress has to. Also, there is the matter of Posse Commitatus(sic). If this authority was used for a military defens ...

It is easier to side with one side or the other based on your perspective, but that does not make it right or wrong. Right or wrong is a constant standard. As for your comment about not recalling th ...
