So you not only constantly defend free technology for China and Iran (and whoever else wants it), now you're defending Clinton for removing the laws from our books that restricted it.
I'd say my work here is pretty much done, you and the flamer can whine some more if you want, but the record now clearly shows where you stand, and trading further insults simply isn't necessary.
Gold Eagle Out
For those who don't yet know...
Golden Eagle is a pathological liar and hypocrite. Here are examples:
Here, he complains that Cedega's not free: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1591595/posts?page=115#115
and then, mocks another user for suggesting that Cedega be free: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1591595/posts?page=134#134
then complains that Linux is free: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1530486/posts?page=40#40
and here he is, recommending free Solaris: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1490554/posts?page=21#21
Here he is, criticizing Linux because it doesn't run Windows apps: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1591595/posts#115
and copping out when challenged about Windows inability to run Linux apps: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1591595/posts#118
Here he is, recommending Solaris, which doesn't run Windows apps: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1490554/posts?page=21#21
...and Apple, which doesn't either: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1573697/posts?page=9#9
Here, he's criticizing others for namecalling: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1584107/posts?page=29#29
And here he is, namecalling: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1583531/posts?page=61#61
Here's where he refers to Dell "systems": http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1585665/posts?page=35#35
Then denies his own words: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1585665/posts?page=137#137
then blames me for it all, saying I should have reminded him of his own words: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1585665/posts?page=165#165
Then, here's where he makes more false accusations of ME: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/chat/1592292/posts?page=90#90
and here's where I ask him to prove I said the things he accused me of: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/chat/1592292/posts?page=92#92
And refuses to provide a link to MY posts (he just linked to my history instead): http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/chat/1592292/posts?page=95#95
And fails again to prove what he says: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/chat/1592292/posts?page=99#99
And yet again, repeating the accusations, but failing to provide proof: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/chat/1592292/posts?page=122#122
And now, where his "proof" is something I didn't even post: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1592292/posts?page=125#125
and here is where he demands that someone ELSE provide a link to prove what THEY said: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1568848/posts?page=68#68
and here is where he claims he will admit mistakes, despite the fact that he hasn't admitted this one: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1592494/posts?page=43#43
Here he is claiming that Red Hat has a couple of hundred Linux kernel developers: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1527263/posts?page=75#75
And here he is claiming no one knows how many kernel developers work for Red Hat: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1527263/posts?page=77#77
Here's where he hijacked the Open Source Ping List, and the ensuing discussion: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1571222/posts?page=8#8
Here he is ridiculing another poster for using bold fonts to make a point: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1493462/posts?page=130#130
And here he is using bold fonts to make a point: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1592292/posts?page=106#106
Here he is defending Microsoft's contributions to Planned Parenthood: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1492595/posts?page=22#22
You really need to get up to date. Operating systems have become commoditized. Any modern country can make one, most CS courses have writing a basic operating system as a project. This isn't the 80s with the USSR trying to get a copy of VMS, this is the modern day where you can grab a bunch of programmers and have an equivalent running in a couple of years. China certainly has the resources for that.
Our government simply changed with the times. Instead of burying our heads in the sand and isolating ourselves technologically, we jumped in to the international trade in technology.
But I see you're on Gore's side on this issue, useless controls that do nothing but hurt our businesses.
I'd say my work here is pretty much done
Yeah, Flaming pretty much nailed you with your own posts.
