I think you're downplaying #1 a bit, no quibbles about #2 though.

I don't know if Huang deserves all of the credit for the direction, but if he does, then I think he deserves a lot of credit for that. CUDA is brilliant because they have been able to move their existing system forward on it, for example by rebasing PhysX on it and thereby not having to reimplement that.

Copyrights and Patents ought to be taxed by the holders of those protected classes. Choosing to not pay those taxes liberates those patents and copyrights to the public domain.

That's kind of how it works, except all the terms are different. Choosing not to go to court about it etc etc. No matter what it's choosing whether or not to spend the money.

This is the one kind of tax that I can get on board with, because it is 100% voluntary and doesn't force anyone to do anything.

But it does. Copyright is still backed up by rough men with guns.

THIS. It's one thing to connect to Microsoft to have them evaluate emails or whatever, it would also be a terrible idea, but at least it wouldn't cause what having Microsoft actually host the email is causing.

It's fucking pathetic what Microsoft "admins" do now. Mostly just hope Microsoft doesn't fuck things up, they don't do shit any more because they can't.

Allowing Microsoft to provide your email is like allowing Chuck E. Cheese to provide a substitute for Italian cuisine to your restaurant.
