I found this article interesting (there are 3 pages....). It's about recent theft of CS2 sourceode, 'cyberterrorism', people like ben who are all out against MS... related to Communism . Bowsers revolution.

I think I must agree with this guy... as I've said before MS is kinda the epitome of Capitalism. It's one of the most successful businesses in that market. Read on . _________________ "My Heart Is In the Work" - Andrew Carnegie |

I don't know how i missed this post...good article..
Only thing i disagree with there is when he's talking about P2P networks...I agree that they have gotten out of hand, but at their heart they are a still necessary and good idea for small bands and other ppl to get their stuff out there. I don't think it's the P2P ppls faults that their stuff is used in a bad way, but it's the users, there r plenty of bands that are very pro this and they still sell lots of records. On example is They Might be Giants. www.tmbg.com They offer ppl free mp3 and i believe they rotate their stuff on weekly basis, though i'm not sure, but essentualy u can get all their music from them for free legaly, but yet they are still in buisness selling their music.
Other then that the article was very much right on. I have great respect for ppl who say they hate MS and actualy use all linux or alternative tools to do everything, that's the only real way to send MS a message. _________________ The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, isn't 'Eureka!' but rather 'hmm....that's funny.'
