Incredible how everyone reacts so strongly to the comments of someone/some organization who, seemingly and until now, had practically nothing to do with the IT industry. Basically an idiot's comment on the market place that sets the village ablaze with terror!
I've gone to the Tocqueville Institute's web site,which happens to be half working (for example, see the accomplishments link here: http://www.adti.net/mission.html). I truly believe that an organization that takes itself so seriously (and this one must since it has the audacity to criticize something about which it obviously has no clue), should at least be able to maintain their web site. And if this makes you smile too, keep looking on their(cheap and less than professional) web site and you might notice other funny little oddities.
Even the brightest among us woke up for the occasion! If only real issues could do the same!! What about real solutions and suggestions about the need for the co-existence of the traditional business model (which has lost its pants being so afraid of linux and co.) and the new model proposed by the "Open Source" community?
Back to our sheep:
A quick citation:
"Le propre de l'idiot est de ne jamais se laisser desarconner et de trancher souverainement de tout ce qui lui echappe." (If I remember correctly, this is from Louis Aragon "Les Cloches de Bales").
A quick and dirty translation: An idiot is someone who does not know when to give up and is someone who will always a pass "royal" judgement on a subject about which he has no knowledge.
