    Presumably one of those groups is a Microsoft shill disguised as an Open Source company. Which on is it?

    I never quit Apple. That suggestion was based on an incorrect Wall Street Journal that said I was leaving Apple because I didn't like things there. Actually, I had told the Wall Street Journal writer that I wasn't leaving Apple because of things that I didn't like and that I wasn't even leaving, keeping my small salary forever as a loyal employee. I just wanted a small startup experience and a chance to design a smaller product again, a universal remote control.

    I advise printing it out and posting it in the hall in printed form, annotated with contributors. Paper the walls with it. You would be surprised how much more efficient that makes a coder even if it's not ever read.

    Also, for debugging sometimes you have to get down on the floor with 50 pages of fanfold and work it out. Decorum be damned. A PC only has so much vertical resolution and sometimes you need more than to peek at the code through a sliding window.

    You can also flip through fanfold like a book and see two pages at a time with an option to turn several pages at once.

    Such a day would be a holiday.

    Holiday is derived from 'Holy Day'.

    A 'Holy Day' has the assumption of a divine being.

    A diving being couldn't make GNU/Hurd into a usable operating system.

    RMS has developing GNU/Hurd since 1984.

    1984 is symbolic of Big Brother and a panopticon society.

    RMS is an atheist, also an advocate of privacy and freedom.

    Clearly a single day to venerate a corporation runs counter to Slashdot's core beliefs.
