Yes,
I completely understand condemning the hypothetical greed of imaginary people who are reminiscent of my overbearing father. Also as a /. commenter I have no qualms about posting comments that have nothing to do with the story to which they are attached.
On the other hand space exploration is just a silly academic exercise until we come up with some way to make it profitable. Reality, unlike the Star Trek universe, requires that we boldly go and bring back something useful so that we can afford to boldly go back and do some silly academic science-ing.

Girl Claims Price Scanner Gave Her Tourette's Syndrome 558
Attorneys for Dominica Juliano claim that she was burned and developed psychological problems after a store clerk aimed a hand-held price scanner at her face. Store attorneys say their scanners uses a harmless LED light and that the girl had serious health problems before she was scanned. From the article: "Dominica Juliano was 12 when she and her grandmother entered the Country Fair store in Erie in June 2004. A clerk allegedly called the girl 'grumpy' before flashing his hand-held bar code scanner over her face and telling her to smile. Attorneys for Ms. Juliano and her guardian say the girl was sensitive to light and burned, and later developed post-traumatic stress and Tourette's syndrome."

Linux has nothing to do with the stock market. Linux will live on long after the last day trader is long dead in the cold ground. Linux will survive because I say it will and so do thousands of other people around the world. I'm getting kind of sick of all the talk about Linux INC. Linux is not a corproation it is a community.
I personally don't care if RedHat dies tomorrow and if LinuxOne carried the casket, it would not mean a thing to me. How many people that use Linux have shares of VA or RedHat? I would bet it's somewhere around 3% or less.
Ask yourself why you use Linux. If you use it because RedHat and/or VA and/or LinuxOne and/or LinuxTwo and/or LinuxEtc is listed on the stock exchange then you are a short sighted fool and should switch back to NT.
When you are serious about wanting stable software systems you get Open Source, and when you get serious about Open Source you get Linux. Why? Becuase Linux delivers on the promises it makes. It is fast and stable despite what Microsoft says, It is free despite what TurboLinux says, and it is a full desktop ready operating environment despite what every newspaper hack in the world says.
Linux changes everything. The media doesn't see it, the Wall Street wolves don't see it, but I do. If an under-educated carpenter from nowhere USA can see it then surely all you college grads must have some clue.
What does Linux mean to me? It means I will never have to pay for software again! Is this gready? YES. Is it short sighted? PROBABLY. Is it true? YES.
The truth is that right now anything that carries the Linux stamp onto Wall Street will be devoured with disgusting lust. Soon that will change and if all it costs me is a couple of day traders, that's a price I am willing to pay.
This is not the last of the Linux crooks! Get over the shock! If you have web space, use it to speak out against the crooks and praise the honest man. If you have a penny, send it to the honest man. If you have a voice speak, out for the honest man. If you are an honest man, thank you.
