>>>>The dingbat talks about government research funded by tax dollars and says this is "capitialistic" - this guy has a few screws loose. True capitalism is strictly private sector with NO government involvement at all but what do you expect from twisted minds like Gates'?
Where do you think BSD comes from? It came from UC at Berkeley (a public institution). From BSD came SUN micro.
Where do you think SUN Microsystem comes from? It's originally stands for Stanford University Network --- even though it's a private university, it's hard to imagine that none of those scientists involved didn't take a single cent of public research grant.
It's probably true that Berkeley and Stanford get a financial cut from BSD and SUN.
