Open Source, The Patriotic Solution
,----[ Quote ]
| Governments are political animals, and favors emanate from them to trusted
| supporters, software companies among them. Diebold Inc, with its voting
| systems at the center of a handful of controversies, has been an off and on
| presence on Capitol Hill according to OpenSecrets.org.
|
| The company has drawn its share of critics over the years, dating back to
| complaints in 2003 of numerous flaws with its software. This demonstrates why
| Peterson dislikes the secret software approach...

Why Patriots should use Linux and other free software
,----[ Quote ]
| The whole idea behind the truth movement of today, whether it be
| anti war, anti new world order, anti gun control, anti big
| government, is to spread information to as many people as
| possible, so that we may reach the critical mass necessary
| to create real change in this country. One of the greatest
| assets we have in spreading this information is through the
| internet, using our computers. Why should we trust this great
| task to a computer that isn't going to do what we want when it
| conflicts with what these giant corporations want it to do.

[Satire:] Buy Microsoft, it's your patriotic duty
,----[ Quote ]
| That seemed to be the message at the London launch of Microsoft Vista,
| Office 2007 and Exchange 2007 on 30 November 2006. Gordon Frazer,
| Microsoft's UK managing director, devoted most his opening speech to
| a gallimaufry of statistics and quotations intended to show that
| buying these new offerings would somehow make Britain more competitive.
