I couldn't agree more. At university, I spent a small fortune on textbooks, only to use at a chapter or so... Anyone out there know of "open-source" educational material? I'd even contribute, just to pass on my Infinite Wisdom;-)

RMS sounds like what Linus referred to in his keynote: a visionary who looks like road-kill. I know he was referring to Gates' book, but I think he spoke volumes about others in the industry.
Talk is cheap. One show leadership not by complaining, but by _doing_. In this way Linus deserves the adulation he gets.
RMS, I admire your work. But what have you done for me lately?
Obviously you're not a citizen of a consitutional monarchy (American, right?). We in the remaining "colonies" ELECT a more representative government than in the US(e.g. we don't have to put up with >14 months of Monica Lewinsky!)
By the way, don't you think Rodney King appreciates the value of "cameras everywhere"?
The beauty of technology is that it's an equalizer. In case you forget your own history, it was the long-rifle that helped a colonial militia take on the most powerful army in the world.

Never mind the 3rd World. Al Gore will point to the (red) moon and say "See, global warming is causing the moon to heat up!"

Is this what we'll see in the future for client/server apps and corporate LANs?
Maybe that's what the folks at Be have in mind.
