a few months before he died he had dinner with sergey to mentor him.
Considering that they're competitors, I find this hard to believe.

Troll? Dafuq?
Consider the personalities involved. I think Thatcher would have done what it took to hold them even if it was clear there was nothing there but sheep.
I agree. For things to have gotten this bad, there's an awful lot of blame to go around. For example, the judicial branch isn't any better here either.
The sad thing is that I now remember fondly when Obama was compared to Carter. Now it's more like he's channelling Nixon.
I'm going with the political angle on this one...
I don't think so. I think the sales of the Boston Globe and the Washington Post this week show that old guard newspapers are now conspicuous consumption options for the super rich.
I don't know if it's "crashes everything" more often, or if it's usually just silly QA things where things are just not seamless, and malfunction in an inconvenient way that gets in the way of productivity. But broadly speaking I have to agree with you, and I say that as someone who's used Linux on the desktop for several years and no interest whatsoever in switching back to Windows.
Isn't it great that we have 300 different Linux distros? I bet that's why it was so successful with desktop consumers (in confusing them I mean).
Yes, it is great that we have so many choices. The problem getting Linux onto most users' desktops hasn't been that there are so many options. Usually when it comes to "Linux on the Desktop!!!!" there's only been one main distro getting buzz at a time, most recently Ubuntu but going back at least as far as Caldera back in the late '90s. So I don't think brand confusion is the issue here.
I don't see how a firesale would harm their chances of that. If anything, it would get products with their brand into people's hands, so that (unless it sucks) they might become known as a brand whose products in that space are worth consideration.
I mean, right now they just look like their standing there with their dicks hanging out. They don't have much to lose here.
And keeping them in a warehouse does what good for shareholders, exactly?
...I was a voracious consumer of news, up to even trying to read legislation (not with much success as I have no legal training).
That's okay. After all, legislators don't read it either.
Indeed -- led by the Pontifex Maximus and everything.
Clearly, good fortune is relative!
My personal site used to come up as the top hit for a Google search for "Steve Foerster" (with quotes). Now it's not there at all, because someone sent Google a DMCA takedown notice. Evidently the WordPress theme I used had an image in it that its designed had cribbed from someone's photobucket account, or something like that. I changed the theme, and one of these days will get around to sending Google a challenge notice. But what a mess -- if the copyright holder had simply told me, which would have taken no more effort and probably less, I'd have changed the theme.
I'll bet you're a Vagan, too.
Mmm... nope, none of the jokes I have for this are publishable.
