We can't all be RMS (thank God). Do what you can, and if your users need more, some of them will have to step up to the plate and contribute. If the software is important enough to enough people then it will get done.
Unfortunately, this ensures that a lot of OSS will always be nerds-only.
Wow. I haven't been to Slashdot much in the last few months.
The idiotic responses to this article and their subsequent positive moderations begs the question: Where did all the nerds go?
fascism n. 1. often Fascism a. A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, stringent socioeconomic controls, suppression of the opposition through terror and censorship, and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism. b. A political philosophy or movement based on or advocating such a system of government. 2. Oppressive, dictatorial control.
Note "stringent socioeconomic controls", not exactly free market friendly. A little more research on your part will reveal that fascists are nationalist socialists. Just because Hilter and Mussolini were smart enough to let the "owners" of their industrial production infrastructure continue managing their own factories doesn't mean that they had any kind of real autonomy.
... the point of yard signs, anyway. I mean, who is that going to influence?
Man, there is going to be some wailing and gnashing of teeth this year if Bush wins again. No president has been hated more since Lincoln, it would seem.
...no matter who gets caught and how much proof is offered, the posters at DU (and many here) will claim it was all a Republican plot to discredit the Democrats.
I go out with my trusty 12-gauge double-barrel, crawl around on my stomach. I track and move and decoy and play games and try to outsmart them. You know, you kind of play the wind. That's hunting.
He hunts deer while crawling around on his stomach?! Kerry is so full of crap.

It helps because women rarely innovate. Their brains are just wired differently. They do make excellent managers, though, better than men, IMHO.
Florida will be a cinch in 2008.
The American voters have brought shame on their once-great country. You can kiss our collective ass.
What? We no longer have to pay attention to Congress or the Supreme Court? Hooray for Empire!
And Steve Jobs for president!
You are one smart Canuck!
... cigarettes are great, if you can get over the fact that they taste like hot snake piss.
Scratch that itch, hacker boy.
I was going to comment about the yummy punk-rock girls, but everyone is calling them "goth".
Bah. Humbug.

Well, it tastes like yak piss... but just look how fast it brews!

Fuck Yes.

I don't get it. What does ancice mean by this? Am I just being dense?
...meanwhile, the Democrat party would like to outsource national security to the U.N.
I've never known anyone to crawl on their stomach at all during a deer hunt.

If I were POTUS, magazine interviews would be my number one priority!
OK, that was bad.
Or disguise themselves as veteran British seamen and seize the bridge.

Of course, the guy who was supposed to reboot the box will get all the blame. Shit rolls downhill.
