I just don't understand why people think NP are evil. No one has produced any argument to sway me, and again, I think it's down to cost, at the end of the day. I wish it was cheaper too.

Edit:: Masterblaster, I just noted your final sentence. With respect, I think you are misunderstanding the legality of the points being argued.

The only point with that last sentance is to clarify that legal rights protection on software is called a copyright and legal right protection on hardware is called a patent. Not meant as commentary on the arguement. I just see the words being thrown around in the discussion interchangeably and they are really not interchangeable. But if I'm missing something, please point it out.

I have to sign off. You may have noted that I'm from Belfast, and I have almost finished an entire bottle of Scotch. Yes, I am that drunk, however I'm not so stupid that I can't spell.

I've enjoyed our discussions, and will of course be back for more tomorrow. Or later this day. Depends on how you look at it.

Au Revoir!, and for god's sake, look for the good, not the bad, you silly bastards.
