then pointed out Apple used some free software but then admitted you actually think that portion is crap

You said Torvalds said all of OS X was crap. I corrected you, that it was only the kernel he said was crap (BTW, you're welcome for that lesson). I never said it was crap. I prefer microkernels to monolithic kernels, even with the performance hit. I was one of those people who were not happy that Microsoft moved the video into the kernel.

Yeah yeah we know, especially those that want to give technology developed in the US away for free to US adversaries.

Not "especially...." It's blanket -- anyone. To show you my preference, my applications are proprietary, not open source. So quit claiming my preference is otherwise. I need to start documenting your lies on this thread again.

I see you try to avoid the fact that you do not support the "IP" rights of authors. Very nice, but ineffective

Obviously both.

You can't have your cake and eat it too.

Bottom line advanced technology built in the US and previously restricted by export control is going line by line to foreign governments for free.

And yet you completely ignore the advanced technology built in foreign countries that is going line by line to the US.

Your security ravings are complete BS anyway. China has the resources to create their own complete UNIX variant just using publicly available documentation. If a kid and a bunch of volunteers can take Linux as far as they did before big business got involved, then China can definitely do it.

Careful, you're degenerating into personal attacks and incoherent paranoid rants again.

More perfect proof of your leftist philosophy. "China could eventually build it on their own so we should just give it to them for free.

LMAO like we needed their cheap knock offs of our already existing and superior Unix and Office products. You should change your handle to antiUS.
