Frankly, I don't give a damn, except for the "competition is good" aspect.

How incredibly absurd. You've been pushing free software like Linux since your first post to this site which was an attack against copyright, and followed closely with a vanity title to a thread you created praising Democrats as "ahead of Republicans on open source" when it was learned John Kerry and the DNC ran their operations on Linux. Yes you've taken quite a beating since then, recently admitting to lying on purpose on several threads about the Russian hackers that cracked Apple's OSX to run on cheap PC's, but now I'm supposed to believe you've suddenly reconsidered your devotion to free software and now only support it as competition to our existing products?

It's a shame this thread will probably now deteriorate with more of your BS, but claiming you're only a supporter of free software as competition to closed source was a whopper of infinite proportions already.

Lie. My first post has nothing to do with Linux or free software. And the post wasn't attack against copyright, but clearly against abuses of copyright against legitimate academic researchers. In fact, research into CD DRM has been specifically allowed in cases by the LOC since then.

Come on, for once admit that you lied and take it back. You have too many outstanding lies, might as well go for a fresh start.

Now I admitted? Before you said that you caught me in my test of you. This one admitted deception of course stands up against your very long list of proven, unadmitted lies.

I'm supposed to believe you've suddenly reconsidered your devotion to free software

From the beginning it is obvious that any "devotion" is due to practical means, not a philosophical software choice like you and Stallman.

It's a shame this thread will probably now deteriorate

It will. You've hijacked and ruined many threads, and have even been suspended for it.

You should be careful in your glass house remember saying RedHat has literally hundreds of Kernel developers and then, much later, admitting you dont have a clue how many they have?

Or accusing me of calling Stallman a saint without the ability to actually reference anything from me that is at all favorable towards him?
