O'Reilly on the Commoditization of Software

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the it's-the-users,-stupid dept.

Iorek writes "International Data Group/Sverige has a great interview with Tim O'Reilly, CEO of O'Reilly & Associates Inc. From predictions of eBay's purchase of Oracle to discussions of the failings of open source licenses, O'Reilly's certainly not reserved. I couldn't help but be reminded of the rise of this site and slashcode."

    I p00p on your 4th july crap... you nationalistic, rasicstic and "patriotic" wankers.

    Why do you not use some nukes above your cities instead of that cheap 'made in china' firecrackers and free us from the root of all problems??? This would be a true independence day for everyone on this planet and your p00p would not waste our precious land, water and oxygen.
