No. Your reponsibility is with your immediate supervisor. If his goals are out of wack with the end users, then that is the problem, not that you aren't doing your job. Idealy your job is to focus on maintaining the system and therefore servicing the users.
If you don't follow your immediate supervisor (with the obvious conditions, its not obviously damaging etc) then I would get rid of you in a second. What good are you if you don't do what I say?
An example of this is if a user asks you for an email account he wants for personal use. Your responsibility is to the user or the process set up?
Over 6000 people will agree on a large range of issues to submit on a recommendation to a group that may or may not do something about it because it may or may not have the power to act on it.

I don't download music. I do listen to Internet radio but I assume that royalties are already paid for since these are well known/popular radios stations.
So if my ISP does pass on the any charges, then I am paying for something that I don't do. (They might not either way if they develop some niffty technology which can tell if I download an mp3 or not (but then I question it since there are many ways of fooling it)).
Why shouldn't I download music? I am paying for it regardless.
But the strict definition of Free Software may not have the "follow this license" part. You can release your code in the public domain and it can be "Free Software".
Also, "Free Software" grants rights or freedoms, but says nothing about what you must do.
GPL and its childern do enforce the "must do's" part.
1. Yes the article has it wrong. OpenSource is nothing to do with the development methology.
2. OpenSource isn't a legal license, but it does imply that whatever you do to the code, you share it the same way the original person intended to (as stated in the applicable license).
3. If the owner does something brilliant and he wants to make money, then he should have it closed sourced. That way he becomes the sole-provider of the product. Usually things are open sourced because they want people to see the code and be impressed/use it/improve on it/do something with it. Its quite a nice way of thinking about code and programming.
4. A programmer can get hired to do fixes, changes or customizations. It also looks nice on a resume if its a big well known project.

OpenSource is a philosphy of saying "Look at this neat-o code I/we created. You can use it, learn something from it or improve it but just follow this license (which generally keeps with the same philosphy.)"
From what the article says:
OpenSource is a process which is collaberative. And by its very professional and methodical nature, is better than ClosedSource.
I say that the later is a wrong definition of OpenSource. It doesn't address issues like "Free Speech" or "Free Beer" and talks about things like developement processes and takes a very narrow view of what "open" means.
I don't run alot of apps at once but when I do they are about the same in terms of speed/performance but stability is worse in RH (because of Mozilla and Flash running sound). Mozilla w/Flash under certain conditions will hang Gnome/X to the point that I have to ctrl-alt-F3 to the console and kill off mozilla.
With large memory intensive apps, RH is more stable than windows 98.
I think that if you worked hard for it, you either would get used to the life (spend more because you can) or you would change your life than from where you are now (cashing out means a drastic change lifestyles).

It took me a while to force myself to do this.
In university, you have to read ever boring thing that is assigned to.
Now if its bad in the first 20-50 pages I put the book down and walk away.

>I always saw BG as a cheap Star Wars rip-off. Is it really that popular?
Its popular in the same way that Go-Bots were popular. Only because it was "like" another more popular product (StarWars/Transformers).
Hey, its from the article so its ontopic!

The main key is that its for "private use".
Now is making it available on my hd to everyone on my p2p network (including people I don't know virtually and non-virtually) really "private use"?

>every attempt at DRM,
Not sure if you would consider this as DRM but CD-key which are verified online such as HalfLife or Quake3 are pretty succesful.
Also Windows XP activation would also be considered "succesful enough".
Things the /. editors did right;
1. Disclaimer that both sites are owned by the same company.
2. No obvious grammer/spelling problems.
3. Not a dupe.
Keep up the good work!

One recent example is a store's sale prices.
If I know them before hand, I can't tell anyone unless I am a news organization.
Why should I be prevented from telling anyone? Aren't I just saying facts?
I very much doubt that was the main issue. Lots of stores sell Apples along side Windows.
Also the vast majority of software sold in stores are for Windows. So what are you going to sell?
"I want to play that game. What do I need?"

Its not that hard to live within your means with $20 million.
