RMS to Move Into Bill Gates Building Today

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the checking-out-the-new-digs dept.

In anonymous reader writes "RMS will be moving his office to the new William H. Gates building at MIT's Stata Center starting today. This marks the end of MIT's use of building NE43, which housed the LCS and AI labs (now combined into CSAIL). On a strangely unrelated note, shortly after Harvard, in a laudable attempt to retain solidarity with the Open Source community, dedicated the Maxwell Dworkin building (named after Gates' and Ballmer's mothers respectively), Gates' credit card was hacked. After all, they did have his mother's maiden name... "

    Curious that a educational institution, one that prides themselves in open research and innovative thinking, would name buildings after people whom's sole goal in the lending of money was to stop that line of thinking (I.E. influence minds to support their corporate agenda and philosophy). Sad really.

    Here goes my karma. But your implying this idiot hacked a bunch of ecommerce sites, because of Microsoft?
    After all MS continues to abuse its Windows monopoly

    Ummm what does this refer to. I hear this crap a lot, but there is ussually no hard findings to back it up. All I normally get is IE vs. Netscape, or some reference to "The Pirates of Silicon Valley". Hard facts from a made for TV movie. lol.

    RMS has a job?!? What's next, is he gonna get a haircut? So much for hippie-culture in the 21:st century...

    The official name is the MICROSOFT/Gates Building, and RMS will not dignify other names with a response. I mean, Gates wouldn't have any money without Microsoft, so you can't have one without the other!

    I didn't say dont' buy pizza, I said carry a reasonable amount of cash around with you. I hate people that use their credit cards to buy a stupid pack of gum and such.
