Are you insinuating that market penetration of Firefox in a region is an indicator of overall acceptance of OSS in that region? That's pretty asinine, even for /. If you ask ten random Firefox users why they use it, I wager that nobody will answer "because it's open source." In fact, I'll double down on that wager: I bet nobody in that random sample of ten will even know that Firefox is open source, or, for that matter, know what open source means.

Good idea.

When I worked at JcPenney we would waste a day just ticketing items..... and oftentimes did not finish because of customers demanding service.

Those fucking customers and their fucking demands. Hey, asshole, can't you see I'm busy ticketing items? What, just because you pay my salary you think I should drop this mundane task to assist you?

Actually, if the object is in low Earth orbit, it wouldn't be encountering very much solar wind regardless of whether the satellite is in Earth's shadow or not. The planet's magnetic field deflects most of the solar wind away at an altitude far above the orbits of most satellites.

Even so, your point is valid; this is not, by any definition, a solar sail. It is a parachute.

Get Sergey and Larry's dicks out of your mouth. "Google is Great! Must worship them and suck their dicks!"

I recently posted something in the Apple channel about fanboys getting Jobs' cock out of their mouths. My post was deleted. I guess it's okay to say the same kind of fellatiatic shit about Gates, Ellison, Brin and Page.
