That was Theo DeRaadt, he started off on NetBSD then went started OpenBSD for various reasons. I think his idea is a good one, it's true, sure make the source open but don't make it a part of the official OS unless it's good. Linux has a lot of good things in it, but it also has a lot of crap because of this 'many eyes' philosophy.

in 52001 will earth even still be around? IMHO this is kinda BS, even if the earth IS around humans probably won't be. 52001 is a pretty bad idea, how the hell are you going to tell future generations not to open it til then? I mean, the year 3001, sure, but _52001_?!?

OK, I concede that there may be another class of life. But how could it exist without a biological or similar being to create it? I mean, pieces of metal in the ground can't just EVOLVE, can they? They need some sort of *real* (by this I mean non-AI) intelligence to provide for the catalyst, i.e. program the brain. If the piece of metal DID evolve and begin to grow and reproduce would it not then become biological?
If you think you know what the hell is going on you're probably full of shit. -- Robert Anton Wilson
If it's mechanical that means there must be biological life. Even if a piece of steel grew a brain, it would become biological, would it not? If its a sentient computer, like AI or something, then what the hell made it? If humans, then its not extraterrestrial.
If you think you know what the hell is going on you're probably full of shit. -- Robert Anton Wilson
Hell, why not? It worked for Clinton, Bush, and, uh, oh yeah, pretty much every other president in the history of the united states of america.
I'd like Austin Powers as president.
"Sir, we're suspicious that you had sexual relations in office."
"YEAH BABY! I SHAGGED HER ROTTEN!"
Maybe a few white lies are OK.

As the saying goes, beggars can't be choosers. And unless you havn't noticed, Linux isn't exactly the main OS of choice, or even close to it. We can't be picky about our software. IMHO people got a large head about Linux when the IPOs started... check them out, they ain't doing so hot. If you have the power to release drivers to make Linux more powerful and more advantageous to the user, there is truly no choice to be made. The user does not care if a driver is open source unless the user just so happens to be a coder.
Now, I like open source a lot. If there is a way to release this technology AND make it open source, then do that. But just because it ISN'T open source is no reason not to release it. In fact, if Linux is ever going to be #1, we will need companies to speak out for it. I don't see Linus on the TV pushing Linux... do you? Maybe the reason your Red Hat stock isn't doing so well is becuase THEY DON'T ADVERTISE. If they do it is in publications in which everyone already knows what they are. If the only way to get companies to support Linux is to let them release some closed-source stuff, then the method justifies the means.

You can't run it like that... here's how I fixed the problem. In any way to run it other than from an actual terminal (ie panel, icon, etc) I did: cd/where/mozilla/is;./mozilla and it works fine.
