LOL! You might not want to read this one then: http://www.guardian.co.uk/comment/story/0,3604,1387447,00.html This is the best bit (IMO): "No law of nature says that companies have to stay profitable just because they were in the past. This is a problem for the whole software industry, but the solution Gates favours is bad for all of us. This is to get governments to supply the missing law and to ensure that Microsoft and other large companies will be profitable for ever, at the expense of any smaller, newer, hungrier ones. Software will be protected not just by copyright, but by patents. This makes about as much sense as patenting jokes." -- JoeHill / RLU #282046 / www.freeyourmachine.org 17:02:04 up 115 days, 18:15, 7 users, load average: 0.19, 0.10, 0.07 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ "The struggle between people and capital is now an epic struggle between life and death." -- Vandana Shiva, World Social Forum, January 16, 2004
