Hating to sound cynical. But do you really think they would show their
best code? Mind you i would've thought that if they had several really
good examples they could've given away one minor example. They know as
soon as  hey show one "real" example there will be a new unadulterated
kernel version in about 5 minutes.

But i do agree that share trading should be suspended.

I saw on TV last week or so, something about some company that owns 95%
of the patents for DNA and they are suiting people retrospectively for
the gene research. Is this similar? Has a new way of doing business
evolved?
