Not exactly a regret, but I bet you he cries himself to sleep at night when he sees the reverses in software openness that the IT industry has made (going mobile, going cloud, etc) and the steps backwards we've made in the last few years.
It's gotta be hard to see the open source movement snatch defeat from the jaws of victory...

Sadly, MS has the power to take control of our computers away from us --and with secureboot they're doing exactly that. This is a direct attack on personal computing and the freedoms of the end-user to control the software on their computer.
RMS and Theo De Raadt are both right on this --but neither one of them has the influence needed to avert this attack, so it doesn't matter.
The era of personal, general-purpose computing is over.

Recommend slashdot to anyone -are you fucking kidding me? Slashdot has become such a joke I'm more likely to deny that I read slashdot rather than recommend it!
Just because some guy is a Linux developer doesn't mean there aren't plenty of folks (and companies with HUGE market value) dedicated to working on BSD.
Are you saying that there are? If so -citation needed.

Where's my mod points when I really need them???
Apparently so, since any comments pointing out how prone this will be to abuse, and the nature of the abuse, are being aggressively down-modded.
...software contrary to corporate (RIAA/BSA) interests?
maybe they have some sort of hobbyest program, like mysql or something?
HURD was announced in 1990, "What is love" came out in 1993, "Hurt" came out in 1994...

they don't get the girl at all.
But that still leaves running it in a virtual machine and taking a snapshot that way.
No -the RNC.
You know, the part of the republican party which is responsible for deciding it's platform and then 'conspiring' to achieve it?
You're new to this whole 'politics' thing, aren't you?

It looks like it's the end of the Gravy Train for people wanting a Free RHEL....

I'm probably confused then.
Someone at Hellfire club had massive mind control. There was that entire black queen fetish piece with Jean Grey.
That was Mastermind
Another difference you're overlooking is that Samuel Adams had no intention of setting up a theocracy worse than what he was fighting...
