noone's asking you to cry, wanker. corporations are MADE OF PEOPLE
AND THEIR IDEAS, bound up in some paper work. what is it with socialists and open source? open source is, in my opinion, one of the worst things for the computer industry. never have their been so many
socialists involved in the modern computer industry.
just another corporation, huh? take out a few key corporations, and
america goes down the tubes. don't bite the hand which feeds your
markets. BEOS isn't one of them, but that's neither here nor there.
But more than anything, Be, Inc has to make their SHAREHOLDERS happy before anyone else. Happy customers helps them to this end, and they can consider me a happy customer. I want them to do whatever they need to do to stay afloat, and if that means they do IP appliances, cool - I want one.
reflect on those words for a few minutes - from each his ability,
to each his need. who determines need? if i need a yacht, who's
going to provide me with it? i'm a network engineer, so i'd be giving a lot more ability than, say, the mail man or a waiter or a lot of other people. still, there will be others whose ability is greater than mine; medical doctors come to mind, as do astrophysicists, etc. however, aside from racking/stacking big switches and routers, my
work is largely non-physical - so would it be said that the garbage man's needs are more important than mine, because he does physical
labour? i chose to do network engineering, and i love my work. i chose to make money with my mind, not my back. i wouldn't, however,
do it for free - not ever. if there's no profit in it, it's not worth doing. if there's no profit to be made, than a network has limited purpose and a limited lifespan. nothing comes for free, and it never will - and that is the fatal flaw of communism. someone will always
have to pay, and it's always been the proles...
