That is some of the rancorous happy horse $hit I have ever viewed over
the web. I liked the part and agree that balmer should put up or shut up
and say what said code infringement is in the Linux kernel so that it "can
either be striped out or worked around" Everyone here does know what would
happen if Microsoft tried to prove such tripe? It would be tantamount to an
electronic broad side over the bows of EVERY coder out there; because if
they can take down Linux, who is next? If they could prove what Ball-less
says then M$ can say that EVERY piece of code written using VB or any of
their languages belongs partly to them because it was developed using their
programming language?
I don't remember but M$ didn't invent the C programming language did
they? cause maybe that is what they are getting on about.

No, they didn't.
C began at Bell Labs in 1972 (3 years before Microsoft even existed), and
was adopted by Bell Labs as a development and porting tool for the Unix OS
in 1974.

LOL, if Microsoft can "take down" Linux? Puhlease, there's nothing TO
take down (not to mention there is no real "next" unless yer counting
teh XXXXin Mac OS). I think it's pretty retarded of Ballmer to be
snitting over this shit though, d00d must me REALLY bored to be
torturing teh Linux trendies...I can't much blame him though,
torturing retarded Linux obsessos *IS* a lot of fun.

I see this propaganda attack as being an admission of fear on Ballmer's
part. He's taking a card from Dubya's deck: when you have no defense,
get offensive; even if it's lame-assed bullshit. Someone will be afraid
of the hot little clouds emanating from the speaker's mouth..
This is a last refuge, if you will: pure supposition based on wishful
thinking, typical of Microsoft engineering.
I suspect a scientology angle. (chuckle)

I wonder where MS$ got the idea for directories in MSDOS 2.0? It
couldn't have been from Unix could it? Of course neither Bell Labs nor
the UCal Regents (for Berkeley Unix) had software patents, only
copyrights which protect a specific implementation but not a general
idea.
Software patents are stupid. Everyone steals ideas from everyone else.
The geniuses take the ideas and build on them until tey're barely
recognizable as descendents of their original source. This is true in
art, music, et alia.
This reminds me of Apple suing MS$ when everyone knows the look and
feel of MacOS was ripped off from Xerox.
In the Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy, by the late Douglas Adams,
an editor of the HHGG rips off the blurb from the back of a cereal
box. He then sends a HHGG back in time and sues the cereal company for
copying him.

You are a trip.
Now, I want to hear your voice.
Stop beating around the bush, speak a Canookie thing or something.
You sure jaw jaw jaw in these groups with your fingers enough.
I want to hear your sound.

It want i to be easy in Linux
have to fix some things first.
stupid jackd isn't running yet in my new laptop Ubuntu A/DeMuDi

I promise. Shortly.
If I can't make it easy I'll do it the ahrd (ahem) way.
I accepted a new employer today.
Gave my old boss 36 hours notice.
He did a silly thing: clawed back 8+ hours on my last check and then
vented on me for a home burglery he suffered the night before I called
him up to explain himself. Too bad for him.

well considering Microsoft *bought* dos and changed the name to msdos if dos
was stolen from CP/M (control program for microcomputers) then the guy
Microsoft bought it from stole it. In fact while Bill was at IBM selling
dos to his moms friends (those in IBM that were responsible for acquiring a
operating system for their new line of micro-computers were friends of Bills
mother and were on several of the charity boards with her) at IBM he sent a
lackey down to buy DOS from it's creator. Microsoft in effect sold DOS to
IBM *before* they legally owned it. M$ purchased DOS for fifty grand and
then convinced IBM to pay a licensing fee for every machine it was put on
which IBM thought Bill was making a mistake; because as they put it in the
now famous blunder line "The money isn't in the software it's in the
hardware" Bill if nothing else was and is a genius businessman. Watch the
movie "Pirates of Silicon Valley" some time it is about 99% accurate about
how the home computer industry got started.
