I have a coworker who I despise. I would relish the thought of doing to them what I use to do to insurgents while I was in the US Marines. Unfortunately, the government will not allow me to carry out my desires. However, I do actually have a choice. I can dispose of said coworker and then hope I am not caught. >> Your complaint is invalid.

I don't even have to ask. >I am always being offered a free copy of Windows or Office. Yes, I have in years gone by, offered copies of some select software I owned to a few friends. Usually, it was out of necessity. I needed to motivate them. You can download a free copy of Windows anytime you want. I think it will work for 30 days before it requires a license. Office, as far as I remember, works the same way. I have not pilfered software in over two decades, so I really cannot say for sure. The "open-source" community is by definition a socialistic endeavor. Now, if you want to give me something for free or if I want to respond in kind, that is our right. However, I have NO RIGHT to expect anyone else to accept those terms or work sans payment. You sound like a true anarchist. You don't happen to be a cult leader or under the immediate influence of one, are you? What a great world we would have if there were no laws. We could kill, rape, plunder, steal and ravish as we felt like. Is this really the world you want? We have one poster screaming that we need "standards" and you proposing that we should abolish laws. Two diabolically opposed concepts. --=20 Jerry --Sig_/DhLIAgL02ub.TQyLyxJNtEF Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEzBAEBCAAdFiEEIQb/tTwl6I1ueEVtOHMGOIfexWQFAl62z0cACgkQOHMGOIfe xWR2rQf+KG0A7fF2COQKZV3Tk4M4AsqRBY1rweKNF/+aOlwh56Rc0/dQLiR03XuN QwBkZt6cwkPphqT2dCcOMlwn9F5sRS5h59x/n9ncLx7Kb8uRzecDtPMfPLPXZEkt 2NY6hh9aP944Sg4Wqq8iSuX503B5lJIO977sx9grZal2V2O3ACa/JoR+VIMmdpV1 QTNw1zyEtcPtAT6X0qc/wmoVG7C9IzituTIV/XXb04jdXWpbubeiV6g2HKrPWb+c X61jl0MtBGwpX0wicBc+S+GgvqcG0o2JrcGs+5z05hmZfApNqsDCHtXwoy34y6Pr ibqw/A6KF7/Xmk9eU06S4t4fzhBsqA== =1jVQ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/DhLIAgL02ub.TQyLyxJNtEF--
