He doesn't seem to have an understanding of what they talk about and according this video which we put here recently, he is likely to appoint pro-software patents figures/lobbyists as advisors. Some of these issues were also discussed in [1, 2, 3, 4, 5].

Well, If McCain wins, I think software patents may well become a smaller problem. We'll all have so much more to worry about ... :)

Looking at that video, will McCain change anything at all if he gets into office? I mean will he help the country or help destroy the country. You Americans need a leader that is not evil (i.e Bush), and will actually lead you to a better economy, fix the IP system and help prevent government corruption. Your best chance at doing that is with Obama.

Like Scam Altman, Larry Ellison hangs around Cheeto King because he could use some bailouts in the form of government contracts or phony money with an incredible name like "Stargate"
When forums say that they banned Microsoft Lunduke or don't want him mentioned it's probably because they are familiar with the "stench" that follows him around
