Dictators in free and open source software
,----[ Quote ]
| Some people seem to challenge the idea that most (if not all) free software
| projects need a benevolent dictator—that is, somebody who has the last say on
| every decision. They are quick to point out Linus Torvalds’ past “mistakes”
| (see the brackets): using BitKeeper to manage the kernel, not
| allowing “pluggable” schedulers in Linux, etc. As a software developer, I
| feel that a dictator is absolutely necessary in every free software project.
| Here is why.

"Windows 2000 already contains features such as the human discipline component,
where the PC can send an electric shock through the keyboard if the human does
something that does not please Windows."
