MIT's Stata Center Dedicated

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the toys-to-work-inside dept.

AJL writes "On Friday, the long-in-coming, $280M Stata Center was dedicated at MIT. Featuring some pretty cool technology (including a row of Linux computers proclaiming 'Welcome to the William H. Gates Building' by Tux, the Linux Penguin), amazing design, and some pretty neat use of space, Stata is among the first of some high-budget, high-tech buildings being put on campuses these days. See some Pictures or go to the Main Stata Site for more details. Richard Stallman is now less than pleased that he has to work in the Gates Building, as well as having some other problems with his new office in general."

    I asked because it seems like such a strange thing to write, and I'm just curious to know what sort of person would want to type that sort of comment into a /. story.

    I don't think anyone I know would ever type something like that into a forum, so I just wondered why someone would type it in.
