Stallman Attacked by Ninjas

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the imitation-is-the-sincerest-form-of-flattery dept.

vivIsel writes "When RMS took the stage to address the Yale Political Union, Yale's venerable parliamentary debate society, it was already an unusual speech: instead of the jacket and tie customary there, he sported a T shirt, and no shoes. But then he was attacked by ninjas. Apparently some students took it into their head to duplicate an XKCD webcomic before a live audience — luckily, though, Stallman didn't resort to violence. Instead, he delivered an excellent speech about DRM."

    This is perhaps the greatest thing anyone has ever done, ever. Though it would've been better if they'd come down from the ceiling.

    If Richard Stallman wants everything to be free, maybe he should create a whole bunch of decent stuff and give it away. Without license. Without license. Without license.

    But where were the pirates? Clearly someone has to defend RMS against the ninjas...

  4. Yale Political Union web design by colourmyeyes · · Score: 5, Funny

    Apparently no one told web designers at Yale how to resize photos so they don't have to use a full size, 1.6 Meg picture that's scaled down in the HTML.
