This is yet another front in the war against closed source.
FireFox MUST keep it's level of innovation above Microsoft, and the only way to do that is for the open source community to band together and support Firefox. We all must reach out to others about the evils of IE and the great wonderful salvation of the 'Fox. Tell your co-workers, tell your teachers, tell your friends! And especially tell the youngsters because they are the future, and the future is now. There are no innocents in war.
---Stepping off box made of soap---
I just can't wait til they start to sell stuffed toys of the 'Fox. Or at least have a StarFox theme for FireFox. That would just be wicked awesome!
Being a ham radio operator, a self-proclaimed computer nerd, a part-time college student with a part-time job in the computer industry I think that it's important to recognize the similarities of the issues concerning hams and hackers.
The BPL issue is something which stings the buttocks of hams as much as the DMCA did to hackers. Taking bandwidth away from hams hurts them as much as the government attempting to take away the ability to make backup copies of legal digital-media. You'd be surprised how similar the mindsets of a ham and a computer-techie are. Particularly in my case since i'm both!!
So my basic message is that hams and hackers should come together as a political force to lobby congress and get back the freedom to hack and transmit freely.
I nominate myself as a potential leader for such a political lobby. We're holding a name contest for our newly created lobby.
Also, we need money. And support. And people, too... that would be a good thing.
Hams and Hackers Unite!!
