   I disagree. But then again, I want a good version of Unix, and not a free competitor to Windows.

   I have to admit this is true -- I used to dream of a Star Trek like computer where you can just speak to it but I never imagined that such as system would be strife with privacy and security issues.

   The lesson from this is to not trust corporations with out privacy. Sadly, it seems many of us are not learning it.

   Exactly. I use Google for search but nothing else.

    I don't understand it either. Europe has some surprisingly bad laws and directives for tech.

    In theory, Android should be superior. But like in the Windows ecosystem, promise is often ruined by third party hardware vendors (and carriers).

    That depends on what your goals are. I think you could argue that Google's Android licensing approach produces inferior products.

    From what I gather, this is an attempt to change the law by challenging its constitutional legitimacy in court.

    I am just an average, non-programming geek, and I love SQLIte. I use it to from the command line to track my blood pressure, my comic book collection, and my book collection. It also gave me the chance to learn SQL for fun. Sadly, it is not

    Your right. I just checked mine and it was: esau@europa.hsd1.fl.comcast.net Not a big deal but it does reveal my ISP and state.

    OP: the guy who is trying to take your domain name needs to eat a bag of dicks. I could, maybe, see him having a valid case if the trademark predated your domain name but given the chain of events you related, I have no sympathy for him. Pe
