Default US Department of Justice forces people to buy Microsoft Windows

Mercantilism Ahoy! And at the hands of the same government agency who declared Microsoft an "illegal monopoly" (an oxymoron if there ever were one)!

I really was expecting a no-content reply from dvault before you, but it's good to know you're still prowling around, keeping us safe.

Err, excuse me, I wasn't calling pvn stupid, or even the thread stupid. I meant the topic - er what I really meant was the "subject" line, I was in a rush. Let me rephrase my statement, in all seriousness because I mis-spoke,

"The thread subjet is extremly misleading." There, that's what I really meant. The thread itself provides for discussion of theft and copyright infringment, which is important.

I think it's more appalling that he served jail time for sharing a movie.

He served jail time for being a torrent site admin.

As to the particulars, would you rather the government spent lots more money to ensure the monitoring software was Linux-friendly? [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
