Nah, we'll get a posse after that Commitatus fella soon enough.

"Linux doesn't have malware only because it's desktop share is next to nothing"

The quote above immediately allows me to discredit your entire post and file you away with the tag: "Knows not of which he speaks."
The market share babble is FUD. There are fundamental design differences in the operating systems.

If you don't know, learn. You really shouldn't spread FUD.

The enemy of my enemy is.. wait. who do I vote for?

No Matter how sensuously it moves it's tail, it's the snake's head that will bite you.
(or throw a chair at you.)

Until the head is removed, I'm not going to play with it.

No but your respawn time is like 120 Secs or more if you kill civilians.

See: ProjectReality.

not if your teamed up with a bunch of N00bs

Congratulations Lars,

Your the only one that downloaded that POS album.

Hatfield's probably the one that seeded it.

Really, after Master of Puppets, who else would.

Looser.

Here's the problem most are missing when they state it's up to the business and protectionism has no place:

Generally the U.S. is the largest concentration of your customer base, or the customer base for the employers of a lot of your other countrymen.

Now if you take jobs (income) from that base, it will bite you in the ass eventually.

If you increase the customer base, say in china, you increase the disposable society and again it will bite you in the ass. (insert end of world scenario here)

Or we could mandate static societies, but that's never going to happen.

Maybe we need to rethink this?

I'm all for more localized markets, and smaller profits in a green based renewable society.
Except you are not.

I'm working on a return of the black plague.
Seems to fix all the problems.

I myself have never seen a "fat lazy American" at my business,
This is due to great Management, we don't hire them.
You are deluding yourself if you think there is a racial/national difference between you and Americans.
I've lived and worked overseas, guess what? You have fat lazy Indians, Chinese, Vietnamese and more.
Face facts, it's a cost analysis, no more than that.
I myself would be offended and try to do something about a company that thinks my work deserves lower pay versus my co-workers due to my nationality.
Seems we need to think on a global level as members of the human race vice difference based upon language, melanin, and areas defined by a grease pencil oh so many years ago.

Don't worry Mike will fly them down to the Judge,

Uhh.. Ooops.
