first Red Flag Linux, then the dragon chip, and now this. Woo!
How much has the free software community benefitted from any of initiatives you mention? Minimally. I'd say China is opportunistic, not a booster, not an ally.
This guy is not trolling. He makes several
valid points. Perl 5 is a good thing if you need to transform text or write a CGI program. For anything longer than a few hundred lines you should probably use something else. That is

Maybe one day we can have international power lines where all the countries with lots of sunshine provide power to the rest of the world? How cool would that be?
About as cool as being being dependent on the
middle east for oil. Give me locally generated
nuclear power anyday.
