LOL I've seen enough of your examples dude. I completely and fully realize you greatly enjoy boasting of the superiority of foreign products and ideas, even when that is far from the correct observation. You really don't have to make yourself any clearer. It's already perfectly crystal.
But Linux is a clone of US engenuity, something you refuse to ever admit. Basically a rip off, whether or not it's ever actually resolved of all legal claims against it, it's a foreign copy of Unix and Unix standards. But you're so completely devoted to praising all things foreign, you even prefer foreign copies of what we originally made in the US! Not just use it, but then praise it above all else, in spite of our already existing and superior products.
So please, spare us any more examples of your favorite foreign products, since you obviously prefer foreign products when they're actually nothing but cheap copies of our own.
Including spell check.
For anything else, you're like a little kid with his hands over his ears humming loudly so he cannot hear.
Say goodnight Gracie.
LMAO reduced to insults and you can't even spell them right. Goodnight indeed.

^^^^^^^^^With all respect Linux is nowhere close, and a primary driver at Novell is to clone Microsoft technology^^^^^^^^
Linux based OS's are alot closer than you're willing to admit to Apple. They've surpassed microsoft. You should introduce yourself to something called XGL.
Even Apple didn't innovate this little baby. Unlike what Apple's little 3d toys are, this desktop actually has practical use.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xgl
It has it's origins in several places, but ultimately it's got Novell's name all over it.
Currently, Microsoft is the one left cloning. Both apple and linux based OS's have 3d rendered desktops.
It's interesting to see you knock an american company like that.
BTW, I haven't heard anybody defend this whacko.
When did you become the self-proclaimed spokesman for the BSDs?
^^^^^^^^^^Stallman is an influencial radical leftist, and I'm trying to make sure everyone knows.^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If you had the ability to see everything that's posted instead of just seeing what fits your little worldview, you'd see that nobody here is defending the guy.
It's nearly impossible to defend the indefensible.
Nobody's out to get you.
Not everybody obsesses about him like you do. If not for the Linux kernel (controlled by a person with vocal opposition to Stallman's philosophy), his software wouldn't even be competition for proprietary software, still relegated to being tools used with other UNIX flavors.
Why you've chosen to defend him apparently till your last dying breath is the only unknown.
And why you keep lying that I defend him apparently till your last dying breath is only one of the unknowns.
You earlier: "But Linux is a clone of US engenuity,"
'nuff said.
I caught mine, using an American invention, the spell check, remember?
One day you might actually respect America enough to capitalize it. Then again, you might not.
What is it with you and little strawmen?
No you didn't, you posted it. And then you had the gall to call someone else on a spelling error. This sort of antisocial behavior infuses all of your posts.
Mine wasn't an insult, and I corrected it. You guys can't get anything right LOL. Just the facts!
Ah, I see the correction now. But spell check normally happens before you post.
So Linux is a copy of Linux. So what. Most things in computing are copies of something else. Even those few beloved (of you) BSD guys talking about removing GPL software from FreeBSD are talking about copying the GPL utilities. But you won't slam those as copies once they're done (and the copies they already have are admittedly inferior).
So everything that's a copy is bad? How about American copies. Even that wholly American icon M&Ms itself is a copy, brought to the US by someone who saw foreign soldiers eating them in WWI. This British candy is known everywhere else in the world as Smarties.
Whoops, copy of UNIX, you know what I meant. But at least it was spelled right.
