Ah yes, the usual "that isn't *real* communism" lie.
So...tell us, Mr Wise guy...why are there not *ANY* "real communist"
countries in existance....and why is every country which calls itself
Communist also a police state?
Accuracy counts, so be precise.

All of which, due to human nature, is COMPLETELY IMPOSSIBLE TO IMPLEMENT

Red Hat and SuSE are in this to make money also. Red Hat is a
distributor of Open source software who is in open source industry for a
profit, and they actively contribute back to OSS by paying people to
hack the Linux kernel.

To understand why it is IMPOSSIBLE to get Communism to work, all you need
to do is look at an unskilled labor union.
The lazy, drunk, and other rejects benefit at the expense of the hard

The order of magnitude improvement has occurred over around 15 years, not
10, but even with that, you're talking about a limit that's 20 to 30 years
away. Needless to say, this isn't what anyone loses sleep over. There are
other dimensions, like gate oxide thickness, that are well over an order of
magnitude smaller than metal line width. And there are plenty of real
problems that will rear their heads long before metal width does.
In fact, metal is one of the things that people feel pretty good about right
now. Copper processes are coming on line, providing reduced capacitance (no,
not resistance), and low-k dielectrics, which will reduce capacitance
further, are in the wings. Chemical-mechanical polishing has planarized the
oxide surface to the point that high layers of metal can retain their small
dimensions.

Very true. And as usual, the corporate welfare came into law under the auspices
of the party which POSES as "defenders of the under-privileged against the
evil corporations"
In the United States, it's the Democrat party which has implemented the
vast majority of corporate welfare.

Yes, they are beginning to see the light.
However, the brutal ways of their Communist Revolution and
subsequent Cultural Revolution are still with them.

No...that would be socialism.
Remember, ASSHOLE, Fascism and Communism are ideological cousins...
Fascism is right-wing SOCIALISM, and Communism is left-wing SOCIALISM.
The only difference between fascism and communism is who gets lined
up first before the firing squads.

I can make pronouncements till I'm blue in the face about how I am dedicated
to providing food, shelter, medical care, and sanitation to all the people
I'm locking up as prison labor in a gulag.

Everybody here has a *CHOICE* to follow the path they want.
