Actually I've rethought my firing the ashes into the sun plan. It would be wiser to fire them out of the solar system. The sun is far too important of a resource. The windows ashes could cause the sun to blue screen which would destroy the earth.

I liked what Lazygamer said untile i saw that he IT WOULDNT BE OPEN SOURCE.
You Sir need to stay away from any CEO position in the field.
Am afraid you havent realized the concept behind Open SOurce yet.
How can you encourage competition when you have closed source?
At work I have asked the Head programers (THE CHIEFS in the joint) what do they prefer.
a) Doing programming for Windows?
b) Doing programming for Ubux/Linux.
All three of them said B. The reason? Open Source.

lazygamer:
Lol, well how the hell can you make profits(particulary huge profits) with open source? Open source means it's free and people can steal your hard work right?
voidmain:
No open source does not mean it's free, but it does mean that it's Free. Being Free means that you, the end user can change the code to suit your needs if the original code is not sufficient. Some Free (as in Free Speech) software is also free (as in free beer) but not all.
You used the word "steal". That can be applied to either open OR closed source software. The only difference is you can not change the code in closed source software to suit your needs. Many of us believe that if we are to buy a piece of software, we should also get the source code so we can make the software work better for us.
