Linux Router Project Dead
An anonymous reader submits: "The Linux Router Project is no more. This single-floppy distro was a great tool for building a number of simple super-low-cost network devices. The maintainer has a lot of bitter words about its demise, and it is sad to see it go."
just to say i'd mod you up if I had any points :)
Software should be free as in speech, but if we also get some free beer, all the better.
Can you back this up with facts? I would be interested in how many millionaires are savvy businessmen and how many are stupid kids who inherited their wealth without doing squat.
Neither tend to be famous, of course, which is your larger point, but I don't see where you get off making such an assertion without justifying it.

Okay, let's use the phase "first-generation millionaires". The inheritence to children is often wasted (e.g., kid with millions ends up as a cashier at Blockbuster video). However, some families have children arrogant enough to keep the millions rolling in (they, by chance, turn out to be savvy, also).
I'm pretty convinced that most people get lots of money through personal traits (good contract negotiating, spotting worthwhile risks, accounting knowledge, being able to manage people, etc). A person can't make that kind of money--and maintain it--simply through a lucky inheritance.
