Microsoft doesn't have any competitors in the x86 desktop OS market.
Some of its competitors in other areas have been trying to break
Microsoft's desktop monopoly, but Microsoft has been using market power
illegally to thwart their efforts.
That's what this entire trial is about. Haven't you been paying
attention?

When the original poster asked whether the RIPEM case would end up
being an issue of law or an issue of fact, do you suppose he was
using your definition or the one everyone else uses? Given your
somewhat unconventional thinking, I'd guess he wanted an answer
based on something more common.
In a legal case the who, what, where, when and why are the facts.
There is an issue of fact when party one says X happened and party
two says it did not. If all parties agree that X,Y and Z happened,
then the only remaining question is how the law should be interpreted
and applied to the facts.
The RIPEM case has been discussed endlessly over a number of years.
I've yet to hear any serious agreement from parties on either side
about exactly what happened in what order. All the discussion I've
ever heard has been about exactly how the law would be interpreted
and applied to those agreed upon facts.

Look, we may be smart, even emergent and potentially transcendent. But
we are, after all, just hairless monkeys. Railing against "feudal
hierarchies" is a time-honored tradition. But if you get rid of one,
you just end up with another.

I call it idealistic socialism. Oddly enough, I've recently been saying
very similar things to the first part of your comment; that companies
(specifically, corporations) must be considered to exist in order to
provide goods. This in contrast to the common understanding that
"companies exist to make money". I don't like free-floating greed. But
then, I don't like free-floating idealism, either. Your description of
"democracy to all parts of life" seems much more similar to socialism
and even communism than democracy, to be perfectly honest.

Tough call...
--> Stressed out cops that are out of the area that they're used to
dealing with? Bad thing...
--> Professional, _actually_ elite, "SWAT team" that is as good at
staying calm under the pressure? Good thing...
--> "Elite" SWAT team, that has practiced well for gunfights, which
is very skilled at vaporizing their targets, and who successfully
eliminate the targets 95% of time? That leaves only a 5% chance
of survival, no?
We'd all prefer to see that second group come, and work to calm down
a stressful situation.
But what's the likelihood of seeing that, versus "trigger-happy
Rambo-wannabees"? If the risk of the latter is high, the likelihood of
survival with the "young NYPD cops" might well be better.
Of course, Madame Reno did get to pick from the best of the FBI
when they went into Miami, and had _strong_ political motivations
(as did the FBI agents themselves, I'm sure) to make sure that
they went with Group #2. (Mind you, they weren't going after a
_citizen_, strictly speaking...)

Indeed. There were _no_ deaths, and I never heard any reports of
hospitalizations, and I would have expected to hear any such things
trumpeted to the skies. "Bruised and bloodied by the FBI thugs.
SEE THE SCARS."
But that is not the case.
The complaints were that "surely this brutalized the boy mentally,"
which is vastly more difficult to prove in a conclusive way.

True. I hadn't been thinking of that as a feature of the file system
per se, but either way I agree, for servers it's definitely something

I don't agree with it, but the government would most certainly have a
source code license for such an important function, so the arguments of
"closed source" are moot.

I'm thinking a much larger scale. To me, the responsibility of
successful businesses include contributing (fiscally) to a democratic
(publicly accessible) pool of capital. All banks (in addition to being
strictly vertically and horizontally regulated) must make an appreciable
portion of their assets available, essentially as a forced investment.

That's not a problem, just a fact. Society and business are also
interlinked, as are government and society. This "rock-paper-scissors"
game is the same kind of thing which works so well within the government
itself, by providing checks and balances between legislature, judicial,
and executive powers.
> I am not saying that I don't like the idea, but feel that

>divide.
There isn't a huge gash. We've been on-track for removing the vast
majority of social ills for centuries, now. We need to improve, that's
all. I think it just *seems* like a huge gash because:
A) Anti-trust was abandoned at precisely the wrong time in history,
allowing 80% of the financial gains experienced in the 1980s to be
enjoyed by less than 10% of the population. So the gash is getting
larger, particularly in the developed world, on average. But it is
still smaller than it has been throughout most of history.
B) The continuation of the "pro-business" (pro-exploitation) trend of
the 80s was continued into the later 1990s, when 90% of all media
outlets fell under the ownership of only 16 mega-corporations. This so
discombobulates public perception of issues so much that it is alarming
when you look at real data and see how bad the situation has
deteriorated. The penchant people have for automatically assuming that
these changes in the last twenty years are *responsible* for the great
advances in consumer services and technology is problematic. It is as
likely on the face of it that the same growth and technical advance was
merely used as a convenient justification for the exploitation of the
many by the few. Doubtless, the truth lies in-between, but its tough
not to consider these as dangerous indicators. The average man should
never even have to consider the concept of a global force which has
self-interests which may in any way conflict with his own.
C) It is easier to be an angry young man than it is to be a volunteer
worker in an undeveloped country. On the real scale of things, its
tough to make a living, even tougher to acquire capital. But its still
easier than a lot of other things, and we all have to deal with our
circumstances.

Given it would appear we have a difference of opinion at the fundamental

I would have to dispute every single word of your suggestion.
"Simply?" "Control?" "Graphics cursor?"... you get the idea.
You *emulate* a mouse with a keyboard, or you need a GUI with much less
control resolution than a few hundred pixels. It makes a good *actual*
emergency (system on fire) back-up, if you don't have a mouse. I'd
never consider it for routine use. Even the idea of a joystick to run a
GUI is just plain wrong. And I actually learned my first GUI with a
joystick. (Something on a C64... something Works? ~=GEM? desk...?)
I've never tried a track ball for any length of time; it might get as
familiar as a mouse. But I think there is something specific about
WIMP; without the mouse, it just doesn't work.
