Mark S.:

This is not the end of capitalism

,----[ Quote ]
| So regulation is extremely difficult, but also very much worth investing in 
| if you are trying to run a healthy, vibrant, capitalist society. 
| 
| Coming back to the original suggestion that sparked this blog - I’m sure we 
| will see a lot of failed capitalists in the future. Hell, I might join their 
| ranks, I wouldn’t be the first ;-). But that doesn’t spell the end of 
| capitalism, only the opportunity to start again - smarter.

China's Linux Adoption Threat to Microsoft?

,----[ Quote ]
| Most recently, China has been placing their bets on Linux over Windows as
| the dominant OS for their needs. And one of the best examples of this on

| been so widely accepted by the Chinese that even HP has decided to begin
