| The neighborhood picnic is a good representation of the Linux/OpenSource

Media Analyst Calls Hulu 'Anti-American' For Providing Free Content

,----[ Quote ]
| We see all sorts of confused analysis when it comes to how "free" works in
| economics -- which goes back to our assertion that the human brain tends to
| run into a mental block when it encounters a zero and rather than recognize
| the rest of the economic equation, it just pops out an error message. That's
| the only explanation I can find for the so-called analysis by Media Metrics'
| Laura Martin of how Hulu is "anti-consumer, anti-media employees, and even
| anti-America" and supposedly putting $300 billion worth of market value "at
| risk" (thanks Ben for sending this in).
