The OISV is a co-operative of software developers, marketers, distributors, and retailers that combine their thoughts and ideas to create better software and practices for everyone. The OISV is based on the values of equality, democracy, honesty, solidarity and helping others achieve their goals.
Those who write, promote or sell proprietary software betray each and every one of those ideals. A more accurate statement would read something like: The OISV is a co-operative of software developers, marketers, distributors, and retailers that combine their thoughts and ideas to make money by denying people the freedom to use, study, modify and share computer programs.
"We have kids who don't know how to communicate with people face-to-face because they've spent the last three years talking to somebody in Korea through a computer," Bakker said. "Their social network has completely disappeared."
A wife-beating drunk like Andy Sipowicz can start going to meetings and eventually become a responsible husband and father. But some guy who plays Quake in his bedroom every day—what does he want to do, find a desk job and a wife? Lonesome game-playing may simply be his lifestyle of choice.

Anyway, proprietary software makes me giggle. Or rather it would if I were a schoolgirl.

your iPod would cost ten bucks more and a few thousand peasants would languish miserably in the countryside instead of toiling in that factory.
There is no moral high ground here—unless you sell your iPod and donate the proceeds to a third-world charity, I suppose.
Though lately I have been otherwise occupied, eating babies and dancing the waltz with Hitler.

A blog full of half-literate paeans to partying does suggest that you are overeducated and perhaps incompetent.
Smart people often break taboos: Richard Feynman loved strip clubs and Paul Erdös took amphetamines, to name but a couple.
