On: Interview: Two Censorware Experts

It's been pointed out that all censor software fails at some point, whether by blocking too zealously, or by not blocking enough.

Where do you feel lies the happy medium? It's not always possible to restrict access to the web on some computers.

Is something like "libraries must use a non-graphic browser" like Lynx or such, an answer, since most of the objections I've seen in the comments were to "kiddies seeing a picture"?

I know there is no the answer, and I don't expect there to be.

Re:Information on the FSF-award...

On: Free Software Foundation Awards Tonight

Thanks, I couldn't find the information on them in the Bazaar's set of pages. It's a ... dense list (as in information filled, not stupid).

My personal vote would go to the Apache Software people, Knuth, or O'Reilly. All three seem to have done a lot for the Free Software movement.

• Where I work has been using Apache for the back end of our webserver since the mid-90's (when I recall seeing instructions on .htaccess files).
• Knuth and Tex/LaTex have been around since the engineers were using Mac's, even if their secretaries were cursing at the program.
• O'Reilly's company might not be "Free Software" per se, but at least they put out good books on the subject.
