Nothing... Just think about LibreOffice is the future of OO.o

That would be a surprise and I think it's highly doubtful. I would imagine Adobe would be a more likely target or perhaps some more hardware companies.

If we could only stuff the Fed in a shoebox.

I agree with you. However, I recall a few months ago reading that we're about to head into global cooling.

I do not doubt humans contribute, but volcanos and natural disasters (ie lightening fires) cause a lot more. What I don't agree with is government telling us that we must change and how we'll do it and if we don't they'll tax us etc. I don't know anyone, regardless of global warming, that doesn't want cheap clean energy and I don't know anyone who is willing to give up oil and pay more just to make a minute difference.

Private industry is working on a plethora of solutions and the government should stay the fuck away and let the people figure out the best solution. I certainly don't wan to drive through the hills of California and see windmill farms, they're ugly as all hell. I also don't want to cruise through the desert and see fields of solar panels or oil rigs. If it wasn't for the 60's hippies, we'd have more clean nuclear power like France. So you fucking liberals should keep finding what's polluting, but don't stop the private sector from coming up with solutions. In other words, stop trying to pass your tyrannical laws the inhibit growth and ingenuity and spend your time working on a real practical solutions. One that doesn't require a lot of handle holding or dirty people sitting in a circle singing kumbaya.

Fish or fish eggs?

let nature take it's course!!!

I completely agree with you.

I think Google should blur everyone's face and license plate. I think our privacy should be more protected here in the US than it is now. I'm happy to see a country lookout for it's citizens for once.

we'll bail them out. No one shall fail!.... Well, except for the little guys.

Please be a bit clearer on your response. Small businesses pay a lot in taxes and are the largest employer in the United States. Big Business and multinational corporations are the ones that have the means to locate out of the US and avoid taxes. So why you might pat yourself on the back, don't throw all of us under the same rug.

Other Things: A growing government. Don't piss your money away on them, they're not worth it.

It's bad for every industry. It's natural to be competitive and that's why morals and values are a good thing. Business is bad when the bottom line and being number 1 becomes more important than the product. At that point you've lost focus and have embraced greed. I'm a small business owner, but I learned from a great mentor that all deals should be win/win and you should never screw someone over to get ahead or you'll get a bad name. When I sell, I don't bad mouth competitors products and I tell the people who work for me not to either. Say a few positive things about the competition and then educate the merits of your product, if it's good it'll sell.

Being conservative I have to say that the Bush administration really let us down with the MS antitrust case. Not to mention other things, but I prefer to stay on topic.

I know this may be unpopular, but I think we should have a patent system, but not the way it's implemented now.

I think patents should only protect companies with a small market cap and as they reach a specific size, they lose their patent. This would help protect small companies as they are getting started without larger companies with massive resources destroying them before they get off the ground. It should be based on industry and market cap.

I also believe companies that do not intend to produce products with their patents should be force to sell them or lose them. No patent trolls with ridiculous fees.
