I know that MS is "helping Novell", but I can't say that they're anti everything else. It's that wonderful MS style: "we'll help what we want, but we won't hinder the rest" (same thing when it boils down to it though.)
Example: MS distributes many linux distros via their shop for free, for some reason.
don't assume those of us in the US are happy, eith
Like my subject says,
I'm no more pleased than people overseas are with the US's "selective gambling ban". The political system here has been corrupted by the ability to sneak things into unrelated bills and such.
The quicker someone gets rid of bush in ANY way I would applaud it...unfortunately his replacements are garbage too (democratic and republican, all are trash), and the corruption in our political system is so rampant its disgusting.
I think I'm going to put together my own group to fight for the rights of the people or something via political donations since it seems money is the only thing that talks nowadays. Lobbyists, fundies, house and senate all only listen to the money they're given anyway.

this happens to be after the fact, and although I appluad it, it is an empty-handed message since the situation has already passed.
digg bent over for the DMCA instead of seeing if the situation was false. they knew better before they even considered following the clause. if larger companies fought the cease and desist we wouldn't have to worry so much, not to mention the positive publicity it could bring for digg fighting the cease& desist.
