BBC interview with RMS

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the stuff-to-read dept.

An anonymous reader submitted an interview with RMS running over at the BBC. Doesn't really say much of anything that you haven't heard before but it's a nice little interview, and its not like much else is happening today :)

    "Yeah, we posted this cause it was a damn slow news day" Totally makes my day seem a bit less boring.

    I have an uncle who looks outright like Richard, minus 100lbs or so...Is this 'Free Software' idealism a genetic thing or what?

    On another note, we should have an RMS-shirt watch...There's that maroon one again!

  4. My first impression of RMS by CaffeineAddict2001 · · Score: 2, Funny

    One day a friend of mine told RMS in a chatroom interview "RMS! You're my hero!" to which RMS replied: "Bite me, Fanboy." Priceless.

    Hmmmm, commerce through ignorance? That must be Rad Hat's plan. Sell shiny boxes for $70, don't let on that you can get it for free if you ask. (The gurus know anyway).

    Two words:

    "Bottled Water".

    'nuff said.

  6. Reincarnation? by xtheunknown · · Score: 3, Funny

    Does anyone have the sneaking suspicion that Richard Stallman is Karl Marx reincarnated? I think Marx would have had the same views about free software that Richard Stallman does. And did you see the picture? Give him a few years and some gray hair and he'll be a dead ringer for Marx. I mean, has anyone ever seen them together? Eerie.
