Michael, the question, though - is would you literally fsk the entire world's OS community just to feed yourself or your family? Would you not be thinking of the future - and your reputation? I worked for a medical billing company in Sydney for a while, and due to how they were screwing their employees and their customers, I had to draw the line and give up the position (nice position, too) because I could not foresee a good reputation nor a good future in screwing people as badly as there were getting it. There are people who think they have enough money to forgo a conscious; I think that Bill Gates has always been a greedy stealing pig, and it's already been proven that Darl McBride has made HIS fortune(s) from doing exactly that as well. Besides, SCO and Microsoft are hand-in-hand in this whole thing - not a conspiracy theory, but a reality that doesn't get shown to the public. SCO's always been "buddy buddy" with the M$ crowd - especially with Billy Gates...THAT'S historical... This whole scenario boils down to Ballmer's desire to stop GNU/linux and OSS at "whatever cost, whatever means". I do my best to teach my children (and my wife) honesty in business and on a personal level. I might not make millions of dollars, but I'm happy, I wake up feeling NORMAL (or abnormal - whatever) and I know that when people see me on the street or around Sydney that they're not going to confront me with bad karma. Too bad businesses don't think that way more often. -- Thu Aug 14 10:05:00 EST 2003 10:05:00 up 10 days, 13:53, 1 user, load average: 1.33, 1.34, 1.55 ----------------------------------------------------------------- | __ __ |kuhn media australia | | /-oo /| |'-. |http://kma.0catch.com | | .\__/ || | | |================================| | _ / `._ \|_|_.-' |stephen kuhn | | | / \__.`=._) (_ | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | ----------------------------------------------------------------- linux user #:267497 linux machine #:194239 * MDK 9.1+ & RH 9 Mandrake Linux Kernel 2.4.21-11mdk Cooker for i586 ----------------------------------------------------------------- * This message was composed on a 100% Microsoft free computer * On Earth, No-one Can Hear You Say "Um".
