disgusting
what about the handicapped child of a developer
in india who works on gnu/linux based projects.
You would see him starving on the streets so your
intellectual property arm of the American century
project would go ahead.

Hey there are always some losers.
I contend that software patents and other
stupidity are from the same kind of short term
viewpoint where imperial china turned in on
itself.

Some day in the future, aliens will come. They
might not be friendly (why should they be,
logically they compete for the same resources as
us).
You would have our technology curdled and
ineffective as our kind is erased from history.

Think deeper about what you wish for.
