Sadly, Stallman and his drones have a nasty tendency to anthropmorphise “code”. Code can’t “want” to be anything. It is in no acceptable way “alive”. It needs Stallman’s type of “protection” because What RMS really wants is people to acknowledge he was “right” all along… never mind that other people found reasons to exclude him from being able to just do anything he wanted (because they thought he was a loon?).

Ahh, I just wonder why the FSF doesn’t EVEN bother to improve “free software”. They should fix whatever is on the high priority list.

Quoth Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gnash#Adobe_Flash_Player_End_User_License_Agreement

GNU Juggler is or was a possible failure: http://www.google.ca/search?q=gnu+juggler

RMS understands the powers words have.

Well guys, that’s what OCD is all about – they can’t control certain thought patterns and must avoid triggering them at all cost.

Thus the ban on certain words.

They need psychiatric help and shouldn’t be allowed to influence the public – we’ve seen what happens when disturbed people lead the way all too often.

So what you are saying, is the FSF isn’t ApprovedSpeech™?

is = that

“Consumer”... horrible word. “Piracy” too, since it already has one meaning. “Cloud Computing” is a stupid buzzword. All of the others are on the list because they lower RMS’ ego.

I don’t use “creator” because there is only one real creator, God. Such an honorific belongs to no man.

Ecosystem is a retarded word to use a technical context. How about “industry” instead?

“for free” to describe FOSS is just wrong.

I got no problem with “freely available” though.

There is no “god”. Otherwise, why would you be hoping/praying for some kind of immortality in a computer program. You don’t believe it and any one truly truthful with themselves doesn’t believe in it.

The only true god is The Great GNU, and Linux is one of its kernels.

I believe in God and do so without any evidence of his existence because the alternative of non-belief is infinitely worse.

“To speak of 'compensation for authors’ in connection with copyright carries the assumptions that (1) copyright exists for the sake of authors and (2) whenever we read something, we take on a debt to the author which we must then repay. The first assumption is simply false, and the second is outrageous.”

You heard that? Repaying someone for his/her hard work is simply outrageous.

I like Adam’s new trolling tactic to start including actual religious rhetoric into his remarks about a software culture treated as though it were a religion.

Fresher than his “Free Culture” and “you should read these books” attempts, anyway.

Oh, and Adam, I don’t believe in god and agree the lack of any afterlife or salvation IS terrifying. However, I don’t lie to myself about the inevitable. I don’t look to an organization to feed me easy answers, or tell me what I want to hear; I arrive there on my own.

THAT is freedom.

“All of the others are on the list because they lower RMS’ ego.”

Apart from “Hacker” which is on there to show the world that he’s still stuck in the 70’s and trying hard to keep computing there with him.

If Photoshop and Powerpoint are on that list

why isn’t Google. It’s used as a verb to search.
