  1. Re:Free as in BSD on 2 RMS Books Hit Version 2.0 · · Score: 2

    You are also not free to sell yourself into slavery, but you don't complain about that lack of freedom. Your freedom as a developer only extends the where a user's freedom begins. If you want to close up source, then use your own code. Nobody is forcing the GPL on you.

  2. Re:The PDF's don't seem free, merely cash is OK on 2 RMS Books Hit Version 2.0 · · Score: 2

    No, they are really free as in free beer out there. Just Google it. The first result of 'Free as in Freedom 2.0 PDF' is the download from the FSF. So go download it.

  3. Re:Free as in BSD on 2 RMS Books Hit Version 2.0 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It's only restricting your freedom if you want to restrict the users' freedoms. Somehow people have this funny belief that if you take someone else's code, you should give back to the community that you took it from. Weird, huh?

    It is, actually. In a freedom-respectin' PDF form too!

    So they are terrorists! I knew it!

  6. Re:Far better than donating it to... on Amar Bose To Donate Company To M.I.T. · · Score: 0

    Misleading people and promoting dogma of any kind is anti-intellectual. Didn't the Cathys have a bunch of paedophiles in their service?

  7. I must be dreaming. on Supreme Court Rules On Corporate Privacy · · Score: 1

    Finally, some common sense. Now if only they would have done the same in previous cases.

    Government mandated censorship in 3, 2, 1...

  9. Re:Is this Wikileaks day? on Digging Into the WikiLeaks Cables · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Here's hoping that doesn't happen. If it does, I look forward to that insurance file.

  10. Re:Double Dipping? on Time Warner Defends Comcast In Level 3 Dispute · · Score: 1

    Because they need more money and they have a right to it because it's pro business to let them do what they want.

  11. Re:What if.. on Microsoft (Probably) Didn't Just Buy Unix · · Score: 0, Troll

    Stallman, maybe. The rest? Nope.

  12. Lucky on Boy Finds £2.5M Gold Locket With Metal Detector · · Score: 5, Funny

    I wish I had found stuff like this with my metal detector. Instead I was always that weird kid with the metal detector.
