  1. "Open Source" buzzword by Scoth · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Seems to me that "Open Source" is starting to turn into a buzzword used by people when they want the geek masses to take notice of something and proclaim it good. And it seems to work sometimes, but I guess we'll see how this goes. Some of the updates don't look promising. Could be neat though.

  2. Who is Christopher Lydon? by CyricZ · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Who is Christopher Lydon? More specifically, what contribution to the open source community has he made? His name doesn't ring a bell with me.

  3. Re:OSM Is Chinese Communist Party Mouthpiece by Doc+Ruby · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Why should Chinese people be the only ones to be true to the propaganda that got their people to revolt against the old boss?

    The Chinese Communists are a militaristic mafia. They have nothing to do with actual collectivism, destroying class structure, universal "ownership" banishing property, equal distribution of surplus labor. They're mafia capitalists, dictating the transformation of China into a moneymaking factory for their benefit and perpetuation of their power. That's rightwing: fascist corporatism government.
