Anything worth the cost of a missile, which can be located on the battlefield, will be shot at with missiles. If the US military is involved, then things, which are not worth the cost if a missile will also be shot at with missiles. -Sea Skimmer

It saves taxpayer money and tells Microsoft where to shove the liscensing fees for their shitty products. What's not to like? By the way, did you catch those few lines about how Microsoft was threatening school districts with software audits, and the districts responded by switching to Linux? No wonder they're trying to use the legal system to stop open source--their entire bloated, wasteful business model could come crashing down around their ears before too long if this keeps up.

It's not my place in life to make people happy. Don't talk to me unless you're prepared to watch me slaughter cows you hold sacred. Don't talk to me unless you're prepared to have your basic assumptions challenged. If you want bunnies in light, talk to someone else.
