In Praise of Whingeing
,----[ Quote ]
| One of the central lessons to be learned from free software is that
| individuals can make a difference. Not many would have given Richard Stallman
| much chance of succeeding when he launched the GNU project, and Linus's
| efforts to hack his simple terminal program into an operating system kernel
| would not have struck a dispassionate observer at the time as likely to go
| very far. And yet, together, they have changed computing, and indirectly the
| world, as the ideas of freedom, openness and collaboration they helped to
| pioneer spread to other domains.
