C'mon. The only resources the hardware manufacturers lack is experienced employees. OSS developers talk to each other without the need for a cubicle pen.
Maybe they wouldn't have hesitated. Maybe the astronauts would devise a two step plan. Maybe... who the fuck knows?
I'm sick and tired of people pretending to care for other people when in fact it's only whining that your nice orderly existence and future is disturbed.
The same people profiling geeks are the same fascists whining that they don't get to say my country is better than yours on account of some technological difficulty.
40 year old juvenile marketroids have inherited the earth. God help us.
Let's say it did. I'd still take my chances with the flamers over hot air journalism any day.
Be courteous to our bright and afraid acolytes. Fuck the mainstream public. They're a bunch of whiny Fascists who can't have a good time without the latest UltraStrength Headache medicine.
Heck, Put the local Boys/Girls Club on Linux. Harvest a couple of geniouses.
Without us, they wouldn't exist.With us, obsolete.

Geeks came up with the things most of them maintain.
Teachers. Should be obsoleted by clones of the WOZ.
Janitors. (don't use that PC crap around here) are sometimes writers getting minimum wage while they relax and think up characters and plots.
Police. If people weren't so phobic gangs wouldn't dare exist. Gang members are as fragile as they come.
Soldiers. Nato is too chicken to let a man die. Unmanned warfare is the future.
Highway maintenance. Oh you mean 1Gbit data transfer.
Farmers. Ok they're legit as long as they don't fuck up the produce.
Truck drivers. Interesting bunch. I think they're sorta geeky (so what if they work on automobiles in their free time.)
Telecom workers. Precisely who isn't at least a little technically gifted in this group.
Post it on the net as usual. Then post it in your local newspaper.
Irritate the newspapers with short blurbs about your success at the last meeting. Get other LUG's involved.
Make sure that the Public can't hide from Geeks anymore.
He left out slashdot. /. isn't in the revolution?

Now then,
1. Slashdot TV -/.BBC or/.PBS Someone needs to come up with an organization as an excuse to GET AN MBONE connection.
2. Join a distributed networking project
3. Require all politicians to have an email address and an IRC server. Mud could be useful as well. Require them to have an IRC to email log and require them to accept pager summaries of the logs.
4. Every politician needs to place the law they vote for into effect in their constituents' communities before it goes outside.

Nyah nyah.
Careful, there. A little more of that apathy and you could be old Karl too.
There are plenty of people developing who would fit the bill. Since Linus isn't a threat no one's mobilizing.

Cool.

We have six months to develop a distributed hosting, posting, caching, viewing Internet.
Guess what? 500+ people are working on it. Quite a few projects. at least 2 dozen
I still can't see Open journalism as even half as irresponsible as TV, and print.
how about opening up the want and needs list or projectdot.org
Betaware coming from some places is usually stable just not finished.
VRML is cool on its own, but maybe I don't buy the flashmarketing because eventually it is still displayed on a 2D monitor.
Here's a development. A client that implements distributed caching, posting, hosting, and viewing.
say good-bye to DNS, NSI, registration, Echelon, blah and more blah. There are at least 2 dozen in development now.
Some handle a copyright future some a copyleft future. They all work to gether quite well.
They are not.
I like articles that disagree with me. Is the damn thing going to spam me with everything on the net?
Journalism involves reorganizing information you find and also suplementing it hence:
