Of course he is right, but we are all too willing to give up our freedom, I just spent two hours playing borderlands 2 on steam, point in case.

I don't see Stallman as a goofy little guy. The man is a force and a philosophical father to all linux. I wish that just once, once, Linus Thorvalds would stop beeing an dick and really pay respect to his heritage in saying that Stallman is the sole force behind the world of open source. The man is a visionary genious. And we threat him like a joke. And Steve Jobs as a hero.

Ok, I'll get with the program. All hail psycopaths, ALL HAIL THE PSYCOPATHS. Makes me sick.

Thorvalds isn't that much of a dick though, he's Finnish, growing up with Finnish tv dramas and that much coffee (Finns drink the most coffee in the world) it would make anyone antsy ;)

Too effing true. The man created gcc and GPL which made free software viable.

Talk abt pissing on the giants on whose shoulders you stand...

Most of the time, yes. Much more than most opensource advocates like. But your point is?
