With our overlords in the RIAA just starting to turn towards campus networks in their War on Piracy, my tin foil hat is beeping like crazy over this matter.
Woot! Release early and release often. Here's version 1.0!
#!/bin/bash if [ "$1 $2 $3" == 'ALL SECRET FILES' ]; then echo SECRET FILES ARE PROTECTED. CANNOT DELETE. read line if [ $line == 'OVERRIDE' ]; then echo DELETING ALL SECRET FILES... DONE! fi else echo Usage: DELETE [how many] [type] [what] fi
Debian is to the Linux community as Slashdot is to Web 2.0. It shows up the new buzzwords for what they really are - a shiny rebranding of a not-so-new idea.
I think a lot of stuff has to go through this process though. This buzzword period is kind of like the idea coming of age.
We have glottal stops in English, at least we do in my dialect. It's something I always listen for when non-native speakers talk, because it's interesting to see if they've picked up on it yet from having lived in the country/area. I get the impression that it's not as common in the US though.
Not being able to do certain sounds is known worldwide as one of the hardest things about learning foreign languages. My favourite example of this thing is Portuguese speakers having trouble with the letter y in certain positions, like in "shake your head".
What I meant was that the morality of selling autographs is very dependant on your other income. It'd be immoral for someone with a normal salary to do it, but you can't judge Stallman by those standards, because this sort of thing is his salary.
You can have the "right" to talk shit about this idea of his just as soon as you're willing to deal with it in its true context. That's the only requirement.
An ad hominem argument, also known as argumentum ad hominem (Latin, literally "argument against the person") or attacking the messenger, involves replying to an argument or assertion by attacking the person presenting the argument or assertion rather than the argument itself.
To (vaguely) quote someone's sig, "Ad hominem is not short for "hey, that's mean"".
Stallman isn't primarily a programmer. If he was, he'd be snapped up in an instant. Instead he chooses to live the way he does in order to campaign for his non-profit organization. Your talk of "products" is misleading as it implies that a recognised member of the FOSS community is having trouble making money from Open Source software.
Stallman does need to sell something though, that much is true. Since he somehow survives without a normal job, I don't think you are in any position to look down on this potential source of income for him. You don't have the moral high-ground that you seem to think you do.
You people tagging him as a sellout are dumbasses. He doesn't have a regular steady income. He lives off shit like this. Fees for appearing at events and the like are what he uses to his buy pizza and mountain dew.

What about the retarded syntax? Doesn't that count?

And by the logic of these letters in this story, the RIAA may well now contact you to get to him.
Haha, silly Australian, you want to talk about your country. Today we're talking about America for once, so please continue to wait your turn!
Even if he's not astroturfing, he's one of the most successful trolls I've seen in a while.
Think about it. If you had a tinfoil hat, you'd want to at least know when they were trying to control your thoughts. Hence the beeping hack.

How can you complain about the president flying a fighter plane? It was one of the greatest moments in the history of accidental satire!

It's fairly obvious that you don't have the first clue as to how people go about designing or administering their sites. Dumbass.
I've got a little red herring here for you: "ad hoiman"?

Heh, now there's a feeling I can sympathise with!
My turn! I wasn't claiming that you'd claimed to speak French, I was merely trying to make a sarcastic joke.
Took me a few tries to figure that one out. Zonk really fucked this one up though - did he even read the article?
Check out the Google image link on that page. Looks like someone's turned SafeSearch off... ew!
