Decentralization

jamesgregory writes "'Geeks make new stuff primarily because it's fun, because it's useful, and because they can. Suits make new stuff primarily because they hope to earn a profit. Yes, that is an oversimplification, and there's overlap between the two types -- there are plenty of profit-seeking geeks and geeky business folks. Still, the distinction is real.'"

    - A suit Yeah, some suit. YOu run a goddam prono site. People like you are the lowest of the low. I've seen you post before, you arsehole. You seem to think of your self as a big busness man. Instead your a loser exploiting people's inability to get laid. A pornographer calling themselves a suit is like a drug dealer calling himself a benefit to society. YOu sir are full of shite.
