"Money and Politics" -- what happens if they are going to spend their money unregulated? The richest few will dominate. What chance would a number of small companies and individuals would get? Monopoly will results. What if Intel give 1000 and AMD 10? Intel ads will dominate the market. AMD is earning this time, though. Phenom is popular.

"Money and Politics" is an issue in Japan, too. My hope is that Ozawa will be arrested soon. And his crimes be published.
What I would like to ask to the President Obama actually is what he thinks of open software movements. And the selection of the programming languages, because it is right in the "political" or even "religious" arena, I would think.
They are very important questions for us programmers and IT specialists, if not only for us then for all of us the likes around the world. On one hand, there are those US companies that want to make money in their way. On the other hand, there are those who want codes to be able to be free. The freedom and and it means freedom, if you move out to Linux world, you can get all the codes that you like, freely in the world of chaos. And the chaos is as in the real world, is not free. Things do not work as smoothly as in the capitalists' world. It is worth all the trouble to live in the anarchy -- or not.
Another argument is those Linux applications are paid somewhere somewhat, by our tax money. Would you endorse bureaucrats and its parachute organizations, by giving them your precious code -- however small it might be, is your copyrighted piece of the crystal of your efforts?
PuppyLinux, a CD bootable Linux system, is really a nice thing. Microsoft stagnated in their innovations and the "free" systems have merits. There are applications that are developed by the hands of people outside that specific American company. The Linux system works fine provided you keep the libraries intact, which is not an easy thing because each programmers develop applications on the different systems. When you build an application on the latest libraries, there is no guarantee that it would be compatible with other applications in your systems built with other versions of the libraries.
"Money and IT" -- the money for corruptions, of bureaucrats or of programmers?
I wrote a nice piece of code that works.
